Amazing stay

We stay at Gulfcrest every year for spring break. This condo was great. Furniture was comfortable and enough for 5 to be comfortable. Only suggestion, I would love to see loungers outside on the balcony so I could take a nap out there. Paula was great to work with.

Perfect location

We really enjoyed our stay at Gulf Crest. The unit itself was nice and Paula responded quickly anytime I had questions and that I greatly appreciate. The only thing I was not happy with was the cleaning of the condo. It definitely needs to be cleaned better for future guests. The location is great and in walking distance to plenty of fun things to do and places to eat. My family really enjoyed our trip and stay here.

Nice place for families with kids. It's a 5th floor condo. Beautiful views and convenient to walking places.Could have been cleaned a little better. There will be another $50 fee when you check in that is non-refundable, guest bathroom shower doesn't work.

Family Vacation

This was our first time staying at Gulf Crest. We were more than pleased with our room, it was beautifully decorated and smelled clean as we walked in. The whole facility was clean. All the workers around the condo were very nice and helpful. Paula was very responsive with any questions or concerns we had. I will definitely consider staying here again in the future.

Change of Scenery

Nice condo! Can't beat the view and location. Only negatives I have are the lack of basic condiments like salt, pepper and coffee filters. Also the fridge didn't make ice or water, but this wasn't a big deal for us.

Relaxing Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay was very relaxing and enjoyable. Room was clean and spacious. Loved the decor and the fact that our room had a Keurig. Location of the property was close to restaurants and just a short walk to the beach. Paula is a delight to work with. The ice maker and water dispenser on the refrigerator was not working but that did not interfere with our stay. We will be back in 2 months and can't wait!

The best place to stay in PCB

The condo was outstanding! Exceeded all of my expectations. Ive been going to PCB one to 2 times per year for over 20 years, and this by far is the best place I have stayed. We definitely will be staying here always when we visit PCB. Nice view of the ocean, the pools and hot tubs were fabulous, and if we had any questions, Paula would give us a call, even on a Sunday.
