    Watercrest Condomium has recently been completely renovated. Every window has been replaced, concrete and stucco repaired, new paint and resurfaced walkways and balconies. It is the newest and brightest complex on the beach. We as owners along with our HOA have spent 4.3 million dollars on this renovation. Come stay at the newest resort complex on the beach!!! Our unit has been recently renovated. Reserved beach chairs/umbrella included in price!!! We're located on the quiet family end of the beach. However, restaurants and shopping (Pier Park) are just minutes away. Our unit has been completely remodeled. New stainless steel Frigidaire Gallery appliances, custom cabinets and vanities, granite throughout, new walk in shower and bathrooms with brushed nickel Moen faucets, Whirlpool Duet front load washer and dryer. Three flatscreen Samsung LED TV's ranging from 48" to 55" all with HD service and Xfinity DVR service, Netflix and Prime Video.. High speed WiFi. New porcelain tile plank flooring. I could go on and on about whats new, only the original drywall remained and not even all of that. Walls were knocked down to open the living space. The view is spectacular from the 16th floor end unit 2 bedroom 2 bath 1400 sq feet with 740 square foot wrap around balcony. King master, 2 Queens in guest room and a sleeper sofa so we sleep 8. Sunsets are amazing and dolphins are seen daily. On site amenities include a heated pool, hot tub, kiddie pool, tennis, shuffleboard, Pickle Ball courts, Bocci Ball Court, and indoor racquetball court. 2 reserved beach chairs are included!!!!! No long waits for the elevators, higher floors have dedicated elevators. You will absolutely not be disappointed with your stay.all the outdoor furnishings are new. You will find it well maintained and very clean. Please come and experience this beautiful stretch of sugar white sand beaches, abundant entertainment, and friendly southern hospitality. Of course the beach is the main attraction but the pool complex with large pool, heated in cooler weather, kiddie pool and hot tub, are a cut above also with The Tiki Bar poolside at serving your favorite frozen cocktails along with snacks and light lunch entries. Everything you need for an amazing day at the beach! There are 27 miles of beach in this Northwest Florida paradise and Watercrest is one of the most beautiful well maintained condos in the area. We love this East end of the beach because the traffic is so much lighter than in other areas. Also, parking is easy at Watercrest and the elevators are fast. You will also have the opportunity to enjoy the on site amenities such as tennis and shuffleboard courts and pickle ball courts, heated pool cooler weather, hot tub, kiddie pool, indoor racket ball court and exercise room.

Spring break

We are so grateful for this condo! The weather was less than great the week we were there. But the condo was so comfortable that we didn’t mind staying inside part of the time. We had a great time playing games with our kids. The patio was amazing beds were great and it wa soo clean! Whoever cleans for them needs a pay raise! Lol I’ve stayed at many Vrbo’s. It was by far the cleanest. The managers were amazing going above and beyond! If I go back to pcb I will definitely book this condo again.

Just beautiful!

The 180 degree wraparound balcony with views of both the ocean and city is what makes this a unique and amazing place to stay! This is on the quieter end of the beach so perfect for families that want to avoid all the large crowds and partying. It is on the 16th floor but we never waited more than a minute for the elevator. Check-in was easy - we did have the wrong code for the door but we called and they got it all worked out in a jiffy. The place was very clean, well-maintained, with nice modern decor. The only issue we had is the TV in the master bedroom didn’t work. I notified the host and it wasn’t resolved during our stay but hopefully it was fixed afterward. It wasn’t a big deal to us, but if it is to you, you may want to inquire before booking. Lots to do and eat in the area - most of it isn’t exactly walking distance, but only a very short drive. We LOVED Gypsea Crepes and stopped there every day! Parking was free and there were always open spots. The beach is amazing- soft white sand, lots of shells. There’s a little tiki bar by the heated pool, a little on the pricy side but the workers were very friendly. The host was very responsive. Overall, I would highly recommend!

It was a great condo… just a couple of small details that would have made our stay perfect. The pans in the condo need to be updated. They are warped and virtually unusable. Living room furniture and towels were very worn and need to be updated. There were no beach towels and an odor in the master shower. It was a nice condo at a great price. A few tweaks and it will be a perfect place for future guests.

Perfect!

Had a wonderful stay with my family and would definitely book again. Pool, beach, chair service and Tiki bar was all great and the building was well maintained. Location was perfect for us, close to St. Andrew's state park and the marinas. The condo was clean, beds were comfortable, and the deck was the perfect spot to sit and relax to watch the sunset every night.

Nice stay

We were reluctant to book in Panama City, as we usually stay in Destin or Ft. Walton area, we aren't fans of crowds. To our surprise North Panama City was perfect. The condo itself was great, it was certainly home away from home, it was clean and comfortable.

Thank you for the most wonderful vacation stay we have experienced with VRBO. Do not get me wrong, we have stayed at other places and liked them as well, but the WaterCrest Property ID 704528 was the absolute gorgeous, well equipped condo we have ever stayed in. Best home away from home ever!

Incredible Sunsets 🌅

We stayed 5 nights, the condo is luxurious and beautiful. The online pictures don’t do it justice. The views from the gigantic balcony are fantastic. There are several great restaurants and supermarkets close by. We normally stay in Destin but we were pleasantly surprised by the reduction in the volume of traffic. There is also a really cool state park and 2 fishing piers nearby. We would love to return and Sherry, David and Chase were polite, accessible and accommodating. Can’t wait to return, cheers, Tom, Donna and Kyle

Great Beachfront rental

The room was great w at was a huge balcony. Amazing views and plenty if room for family and friends. The only disappointment was that customer service was terrible. The person on the other side of the phone had a bad attitude and did not have good manners. So disappointed and definitely made our stay a little less pleasant. Overall, great place.

Beautiful Beachfront Condo

This condo had everything we needed to enjoy our stay on the beach. We cooked dinner once while we were there and found the kitchen to be fully stocked. The included concierge beach chairs and umbrellas were a huge bonus each day! We spotted dolphins and rays from the balcony while enjoying coffee in the mornings. Very clean and the use of the washer/ dryer was a plus. Being able to walk to Schooners for lunch, or come up quickly from the beach to restock cooler made for a super easy lunch transition. Our family enjoyed the refreshing pool And hot tub area as well. The owner was quick and responsive when we had trouble figuring out the door code. Thank you so much for loaning us your special Space for our vacation!

Schools out for summer!

This is a beautiful corner high in the sky condo. My family was awed when we arrived at the decor and attention to the details. I was awed by the views and comfort. All of the furnishing were extremely comfortable and my kids loved having their own balcony to hang out on. We own a condo in Crescent Beach and are extremely particular about other condos that we will stay in. This one did not disappoint. In fact, I am taking a few decorating ideas with me. Thank you for accommodating our special needs. My kids are already wanting to know when we can go back.
