We really needed this vacation! This condo checked all our boxes. Views, easy access to pool and beach, and convenient to grocery and restaurants. The family friendly location on Thomas Drive was just right for us. Wanda was so easy to work with and always available to help out! We will definitely be back!
Condo was just as listed. Plenty of room and super convenient to everything. Very clean. Honestly one of the best complexes we have stayed at in PCB in a very long time. Would highly recommend and would love to return for another stay at Watercrest.
This is a wonderful condo. We enjoyed to stay here. It was very clean and supplied everything that for used in kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. Also, my kids liked to play pool and beach toys. The condo has a wonderful ocean view and we amazed to watch sunset and sunrise. Communication with owner was very good and fast. Thanks to owner for such an amazing hospitality.
We had a wonderful time during our stay. The property had excellent views of the sunset and we were also fortunate enough to see dolphins! The area was quiet and relaxing. We would love to visit again next Christmas.
Property was just as described! We had a wonderful time! Owner was easy to contact. If we visit Panama City again we will definitely try to stay at one of their properties!
Ms Wanda was wonderful to work with. My only complaint is not enough towels, beds were not comfortable, and condo could have used a better cleaning especially for how much u are being charged. Sheets had sand in them and the condo was just wiped down and not fully cleaned. Overall great location for families and close to amenities.
Me and my family had a wonderful vacation here, the condo had everything we need and more. The location was ideal for being able to go play golf or go fishing or even pick up take out orders we were close to everything. Being on the second floor facing the ocean was also a huge plus we could watch the beach as the kids took a nap or just sit on the balcony and have a drink and people watch. I would definitely be interested in booking this condo again.
Overall great trip eventhough the Beach had double red flags all week. Condo was great with only exception being the floors which were a little gritty.
