BEACH CHAIR SERVICE INCLUDED - TWO PADDED LOUNGERS AND UMBRELLA! Mid March through October

Emerald-green waters, snow-white sand, and abundant sunshine await you! Grab your swimsuits and suntan lotion because you are going to the BEACH! Included for your convenience is free beach chair service. Enjoy a beachfront balcony view and front-row seats for the sunset every night as you enjoy this amazing home away from home. Watercrest Condominiums is situated on the Gulf of Mexico's dazzling sugar sand beaches, aptly called the most beautiful beaches in the world. Spend your days relaxing by the surf or at the pool then get ready for a night of family fun at innumerable local restaurants and attractions. This condo has undergone a complete renovation and we are very excited to share it with you. You will have 1440 sqft of living space which includes a large master bedroom with a king size bed and amazing views through a large sliding glass door and a second bedroom that has two queen beds. It also has a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Both baths and the kitchen tout granite counter tops, tile flooring, and all new appliances and fixtures. The living room has a very large sliding door set that allows a view of the ocean from every angle in the condo. Truly amazing! Watercrest Condominiums just completed a 4.5 million dollar renovation and the entire complex is fresh and new including the beautiful entrance with amazing water feature to the pool deck where 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 is a cut above also with the new lounge chairs for your enjoyment. The Tiki Bar poolside at Watercrest is 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 the tennis and shuffleboard courts, heated pool, hot tub, kiddie pool, indoor racketball court and exercise room.
Attraction Information:
At the East end of the beach you have the waterfront headquarters that is home to legendary fishing fleets, pirates, pontoon boats, kayaks, jet skis, dive boats, and Florida's most visited state park not to mention the best golf courses in NW Florida, and the beautiful uninhabited Shell Island. You can also go tubing or parasailing, diving and snorkeling. Or play a round of miniature golf with the family before you ride the go-carts. It's all right here and much more. The marina is only a couple miles away where you can charter a deep sea fishing trip, Sunset Cruise, Pirate Cruise, or Shell Island Cruise, Dolphin Watching Excursion, or rent a pontoon boat and do your own exploring! There are several wonderful dining options at the Marina where you can watch the sunset as the boats come into dock. Pier Park is a 10 minute drive away and is a shopping, dining, and entertainment mecca. You can also go pier fishing and catch a free concert on the lawn. Dave and Buster's is at Pier Park and a large movie cinema among many other entertainment choices such as amusement rides, mazes, and laser tag. Panama City has ZooWorld, Shipwreck Island Water Park, Gulf World Marine Park, WonderWorks, Ripley's Believe, Just Jump Tampolene Park, just to mention a few. For a wonderful day trip, St. Andrews State Park is located on the Gulf and is a perfect day trip about five minutes away by car. There are several entertainment establishments that feature Go Carts, Bumper Boats, Arcades, and Miniature Golf. We recommend you Google these establishments for detailed information on the sites that specifically interest you and your family

We look forward to sharing this beautiful beach with you!

Amazing!

Almost everything about our stay was amazing! Unfortunately, the whole building was experiencing electrical and internet issues, but that’s no one’s fault! We loved the location, the unit layout was perfect, the proximity and easy access to the beach was the best we’ve ever had! And the balcony …..it was heaven! We will definitely be back!

Family Vacation

I will list pros and cons. The places was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Hot water was always available no matter what time of day. The balcony was great. It was big enough to put a playpen on it. The beach was not a far walk from the room. Security was great .They would walked the pool area alot. The owners are wonderful. They would answer questions when you had them. The con is the mattress were so hard to sleep on that I had to sleep on either the couch or loveseat the whole vacation. My daughter would wake up everyday with a backache. Would we stay here again. Yes, but only if they up graded the mattress and put softer mattress on the beds. The couch was not that comfortable to sleep on either. I hope this review helps.

Condo-Good / Management-Bad

Condo -- nice. Location ---extremely convenient to pool and beach. Beach chairs-- nice. Queen beds -- horrible and sound like they have plastic mattress covers on them. I highly recommend a curved shower curtain for the small tubs. If you like to stay directly on the beach because you enjoy listening to sound of the waves from your room or from your bed -- DO NOT STAY HERE!!! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN. It was 70 degrees while we were there, would have been so nice to leave the door open but you are not allowed. Before the trip it was an ordeal just to make arrangements for an additional parking pass. This unit will sleep 8 people and comes with 1 parking pass. Additional parking passes are $39. Did not find out till the day before we left if we would have parking spaces. They said they didn't know if there would be any other spaces available. The whole time the lot was only a little over half full. There were plenty of empty spaces There was an additional charge on my bill. When I inquired about the charge they said they ASSUMED we were bringing more people than we booked the condo for because we needed an additional parking pass??? We had a plumbing issue late on Sunday night. I called management. They informed me, as they cussed on the phone the whole time, that they didn't have maintenance to come at that time of the night and they couldn't come because they had had too much to drink. They said they would be there first thing the next morning to fix it. Nineteen hours later, after 5 pm the next day someone, claiming to be a plumber, showed up, flushed the toilet, said "it will flush" and left. They lied to us numerous times and accused us of causing the plumbing problems. They told me that we were the only ones in the building with plumbing problems. That morning I happened to see 2 plumbers in the parking lot getting out of their van and asked if they were there to work on our unit. They said they did not know but there were a lot of plumbing problems in the building. I didn't even bother to waist anymore of my vacation time trying to get them to fix it. More than once they accused us of bringing more people than we booked for, I have yet to figure that out. We booked for 7 people and 7 people was the max we had, just watch the cameras. Half the time we only had 3 people there. Then they accused us of causing the plumbing problems and told us we were the only ones with plumbing problems.

Great location!

This condo has amazing views, convenient location, steps from the pool and beach, we’d stay again in a heartbeat.Chase was very responsive and easy to reach. Every question and issue was answered and resolved quickly. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were comfortable, the furniture was clean (we’ve been in some rentals that you don’t want to sit on the couch!),the balcony - probably our favorite part of the condo - is large, has a table and a couch so we all could comfortably relax out there. It is set back a bit so we were protected from the wind. When looking at the description of the condo it wasn’t immediately clear to me, but the guest room and 2nd bathroom have a door that can be shut to make it private for that room - Bonus!The only suggestions we would make are maybe a little deep cleaning - ie baseboards, doors, and the towel racks and toilet paper holder are loose and kept coming off. I did not report this to Chase because it wasn’t a big enough deal to interfere with our enjoyment of this condo.No hesitation in recommending this condo!Thank you, Chase, for your help. It was nice chatting with you and Sherry. Also, thanks for letting us check in early!

Amazing Location and As advertised

This location is spot on. You overlook the pool so if you hVe older children it's easy to watch them from your balcony. Beach is amazing and your just steps from it. Bed was comfortable and we had all the amenities we needed. Easy communication with the owners as well. If your going in October I recommend bringing your own beach chairs. They had already put away the ones listed in the marketing but it was fine. Nice, Clean and comfortable.
