Seamless Booking and Breathtaking Views - Highly Recommend!

I work in the vacation rental industry and found booking this condo last minute to be incredibly easy! The property manager was very responsive to my questions and provided a phone number for easy communication, which was perfect for my getaway weekend. The condo itself was impeccably clean, comfortable, and felt luxurious. The highlight was definitely the 16th-floor balcony with its stunning views of the Gulf and the PCB skyline. I would absolutely book this property again and highly recommend this property manager for other locations.

Great stay and loaded kitchen!

Great stay. We loved the balcony and all the extras in the kitchen!!! Beds very comfortable and plenty of towels. Host are great and think of everything. Cleaning crew needs to focus on cleaning lint off wall above washer! Great! I suggest if staying to take host up on getting extra parking spot so someone’s doesn’t park right next to you. Stay here you want regret it! Beach chairs is always a plus, thanks ❤️

Beautiful condo in the sky

The condo was everything advertised and more. We've stayed at Watercrest many times. I usually call staying in an unknown condo "condo camping" and bring a bag of items from home. I didn't end up needing them here because1609 was very well appointed. Plenty of dishes, tableware, cups, glasses and two coffee makers, drip and pod. A full size washer and dryer, five sets of towels for each bathroom. This is a plus when you are vacationing with teen girls. Closets held extra blankets and pillows along with some beach and pool items; sand toys, pool noodles, and boogie boards. You could literally pack a suitcase and have everything you need here. Wayne provides a dedicated parking space so you don't have to hunt for a space or park across the street in overflow parking. The spring break weather was in the low 70's and it was nice to sit on the beach service chairs, provided by Wayne, and take in the sun. Nate at the beach service set up my son and granddaughters with parasailing. He also rents jet skies and banana boat rides. Building perks, pool and hot tub are heated. Elevators were fast and security was always visible and on task. I would stay in Wayne's condo again.

Stunning Panoramic Views of the Gulf

Watercrest 1609 is by far our favorite condo that we've enjoyed on the Panama City coast. The condo is well apportioned with everything one needs for a comfortable stay. The windows facing south and west offer stunning views of the gulf's incredible sunsets. The room sizes at Watercrest tend to be larger than other condo buildings providing a bit more room to spread out. And the owner couldn't have been more available for a few minor issues during our long-stay at the property. Highly recommended!!

Excellent views from balcony. Everything was perfect for our stay. One elevator was out of order for the main tower but everyone was nice and worked together to get as many as possible in one elevator. Pool very nice. Has a snack bar by the pool. And bagged ice machine. Everything you need is right there. We had two chairs and umbrella with the room and the attendants were above and beyond nice and accommodating!

PCB

Our family loved this spot and proximity to everything. It’s very quiet part of PCB and family friendly. This condo had everything that met my family’s need and was large enough for 6 (2 adults 4 kids ) and the view from the balcony was our favorite spot in the evenings! Will definitely be staying here again.

The condo was very spacious and well furnished. The kitchen was to die for!! The beach chairs were a big plus. The covered parking space helped keep the car cooler in the hot Fla. sun. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend it!!
