basic condo
Here’s the good stuff: Great and ample cookware and dishes (except not enough cups); firm beds; great view of the west end of the beach; plenty of towels; lots of closet and drawer space; great tv; nice sized balcony; great air conditioning; Less than satisfactory stuff: dirty balcony; rusty balcony furniture; barely functioning dishwasher; hole in bathroom door and screen on balcony; we had a two year old, and the rails were far enough apart that it was scary when she was out there, so some of that netting would have been helpful; broken kitchen drawer; wires hanging and visible from tv; my overall impression was that the condo wasn’t loved or well taken care of, but it did provide the basic needs. I would probably choose a different condo next time.

Spring Break 2023
Great location and views. We waited to contact them until our second to last day but they were quick to respond to some of our concerns. Only 1 couch in living room for a party if 8 to sit at (fits 3 people). Only 4 seats at dining room table as shown in pics but also only 3 bar stools so one person either has to stand or eat on balcony or living room. Small things were missing but they were quick to replace when notified. Overall great location close to beach and friendly people. Condo could use some additional upkeep but it is a rental.

Very unsatisfied
I am not one to complain, but this was just a horrible experience from the beginning. When we walked in the condo it was dirty. I understand we're at the beach and sand gets in but this is more than sand it was built up dust random Glamis of God knows what else left on the floor, Leftover snacks underneath the couch, and overall just poor condition of the condo. The walls were literally ripped in areas and the flooring was unfinished in the kitchen. The couch had a huge rip in it which was covered by a couch cover, there was a hole in the guest bathroom door where it looks like it got punched in, and the guest bedroom door knob was literally falling off. From the very beginning the master bedroom and bathroom lights did not work we called maintenance and their normal business hours left a message and didn't hear back until we called back again Monday late afternoon it was fixed but just very inconvenient that we couldn't get in touch with anyone for three days of our vacation. The third day of our stay we noticed that right when you walk in the door you can smell where the washer and dryer smelt molded. We called maintenance about it and honestly we're not even sure if it got fixed because we could still smell it at the end of our stay. The guest bathroom didn't have a shower liner in it so water just sprayed everywhere when you would take a shower. We only take one vacation a year and we're really looking forward to it this year but unfortunately the condo made a huge damper on our week given that the weather was not great and we had to spend extra time in it. I have stayed in Panama City six times and this was by far the worst experience I have ever had.

Needs an update
The unit is a great size. The balcony view was wonderful. The unit could use some updating (counters and cabinets). It wouldn’t take much to spruce up the look. Needs new couches ASAP. The pictures are much nicer than the unit in person.

Terrible!
The condo was dirty- other people's hair hanging from lights in the bathroom, floors were nasty, crumbs in the top of all of the kitchen drawers, black stuff (probably mold) in the a/c vent in the kitchen, something disgusting under the loveseat cushions, hole punched in the bathroom door, closet door broken. Mattresses were trash, should've just slept on the floor Towels so small they wouldn't even wrap around my kids Refrigerator drawers were broken, couldn't pull them out to put food in them No sheets for the pull out sofa Furniture was disgusting- cushions turned over because they were ripped Kitchen chairs were all torn up and the seat cushions were loose from the frame. Patio furniture legs were so rusted they were crumbling and probably not safe for adults Kitchen cabinets and drawers were broken Dresser drawers had old toothpicks, gum wrappers, and wads of hair in them. We stayed at Watercrest a few years ago in another condo and it was perfect! This year, I paid twice as much money and this condo was disgusting!

Pro’s Air Conditioner- Wonderful. Hot Water Heater- Great. Washer and Dryer- worked well. Deck- Great view but could use a mop…. Only 2 chairs upon arrival, but asked and got 2 more. Floors- All tile. Easy to clean. Con’s Cleanliness- Had to clean pans and dishes from the start. Had food stuck to them. Complained of mold in coffee pot snd they brought us a new one. Chewing gum stuck in vent by front bathroom…… Wonder how long that has been there? Out dated and stained furniture. It freaked me out to think whose sweat was deep in that couch? Some Damages with poor repair. Had to ask for a toilet paper roll to hang toilet paper… Did housekeeping not notice that? I will stay at Watercrest again, but not in that condo.

The view is amazing. The property was not very clean when we got there. Very outdated. Holes in the wall and no curtain, shower head was broken and light bulbs burnt out. Given they did come fix the shower head and bulb when I got really upset and messaged them because I was so frustrated about the messy place we walked into. I think this place need major remodeling and then it will get a 5 star review.

If u want a great view, stay here otherwise forget it
The view and chexkin was great. The unit however was not. Where do i start. The furniture looks good in the photos but its not, its okd and tore up. They turned the cushions over to hide the giant rips, the bathroom door had a hoke punched in it, the kitchen cabinets had sparse utensils and ceramic, the king bed was uncomfortable, the supposed queens in the secind bedroom were actually doubles, drawers in the refrigerator were cracked, the dishwasher was crooked and broken, drawers in the kitchen were falling apart, the kitchen floor was half completed with tile. Items by other renters left in closets, hair in the bathroom drawers. Condo severely outdated. Not enough lighting, one lamp in lr and a couple in the bedrooms. Bathroom counter too low, patio chairs rusting apart and unsafe to sit on. The view was great and so was the building, just not this particular condo. The owners spent all their money on the flooring and nothing else. The kitxhen floor was not even finished between the stove and fridge. Hand appliances were missing parts....a beater with only obe beater....sink sprayer busted..ect. find another unit.

Awesome location
The unit is exactly what you see in the pics. It's not the most up-to-date unit but if you're there for the beach, like we were, then it doesn't really matter. The property management company is very responsive and helpful. They even gave boarding kennel suggestions for a dog we didn't want to leave home. Our only issue was cleaning. I feel it should have been cleaned better especially during COVID. I wish the rating stars worked on half stars as I would give it a 4 1/2 with the only ding being the cleaning. We will absolutely be back.

Just Okay
We have stayed at Watercrest before and chose it again because the complex is clean, the access to the beach is very easy, and the pool is well maintained. The previous unit was also wonderful. When we arrived at this unit the code I was given didn’t work and fortunately I caught the rental company just before closing to get a new code. The layout of the condo was nice and spacious with large bedrooms, and a great balcony. However, I had to take pictures of prior damage so that we weren’t held responsible (a fist hole in the bathroom door-which has been reported since 2018, a drawing on the side of the tv, and broken glasses in the cabinet). We contacted the rental company upon arrival because there were not enough towels for 6 people and there was no trash can in the kitchen. Within 24 hours towels and a trash an were delivered. The kitchen lacks in amenities needed for any cooking (mixer with one beater, toaster only toasts on one side, skillets need to be replaced-we had to buy one). Kitchen could stand a deep cleaning-there was food spattered on cabinets that we wiped down. Bathrooms could also use a little updating and deep cleaning...shower curtains were moldy and ripped from hooks, some of the drawers were broken. A hair dryer is listed on amenities but there was not one, so we had to purchase. The floors have been redone and are beautiful but there is much more updating and cleaning needed. We’d stay at Watercrest again but not in this unit.

Broken promises
I was told that any issues in the review from Sept. was none existent or fixed. The blinds did not work in the Livingroom which can be seen from other condos. So they are up and you see view and so does others of you. Or down and nobody gets a view. Which is a Fabulous View. Blinds are cheap invest in New Blinds. Washer/ Dryer did work. Glass Dinning table wobbles and I had small children very dangerous I was scared it woul fall. One of the dinning chairs seats is only half attached. 3 chairs for a 4 top table on patio and one of those is unsafe. TV in Livingroom needs instructions if it works I too could not work it. Or maybe it’s batteries. 2 lamps did not work on my arrival simply needed bulbs come on fix them they finally brought bulbs with the parking passes that was supposed to be there on my arrival. Got warning tickets or 2 days. Never got pool wristbands. Oven doesn’t work properly. Refrigerator drawers are all cracked and busted. Some clear wide tape could help a lot. Master bath tub drains slow. Cabinet is peeling as indicated in review before. Master bed is horrible as well as sofa bed. I used a 3 in memory foam cushion on bed to get through my 2 weeks. It could be a much better condo with some attention and a better rental company. Even security at WaterCrest noted many issues with them. Patio and views are to die for and it was actually pretty clean.
