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.

The stay was overall great. The elevators were a little bit of a hastle between being down part of a day and then being packed most of the trip.

Wonderful Spring Break

The family and I had a wonderful stay. Having our coffee on the patio every morning with those stunning views was definitely a highlight. The sunsets were amazing. The condo was perfect for our family of four.

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.

Enjoyable Stay

Our stay was enjoyable overall, however, we woke up to the sounds of the construction crew working on the roof every day. The balcony furniture really needs replacing. Overall, this was a nice, clean beachfront condo with decent amenities.
