Nice place but dirty

Great location, beach, pool, people, etc. Our unit was in rough shape though. Toe nail clippings and hair on the floor. A half-smoked joint on the balcony table (we had a 3 and 9 yr old there, so this was pretty alarming). Rusty fish hook on balcony floor. Mold coming out of refrigerator water dispenser.

Room to spread out!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: We had a wonderful stay at Watercrest Condominium. The condo could use some updating and additional sitting in living room, but it was clean and the room sizes were larger than most. Our balcony was very nice and huge. We will definitely be staying here again.

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.

Spacious

Condo was beautifully decorated…Loved the large Barn Christmas Decoration on wall in living room. Both bedrooms were large with plenty of room to walk around beds. The second bedroom had 2 queen beds and still had so much living space. Master bed was king size and very comfortable. The view from the spacious balcony was the highlight. The sliding doors can both be pushed opened to create a large opening to listen to the Gulf and have a nice breeze. There were screen doors to use to keep bugs out but weather was cooler and didn’t see any bugs. The kitchen had a good supply of cookware. The kitchen cabinets and appliances are outdated but everything worked well. Stacked washer and dryer were large capacity and worked well. This is first time staying at Watercrest and condo has a better setup then the many other condo’s we’ve rented. So far it’s been our favorite stay. Pool and hot tub were nice. Pool could have been heated a bit more for February but hot tub was nice and warm…perfect for the cooler weather. The only con we experienced was the hot water runs out fast when showering and no other appliances were running. Maybe 10 minutes if that and water turned ice cold. Management may want to check if water heaters are working correctly. 2 or more people showering back to back would be a problem. Parking lot was spacious and elevators were quick. We will definitely book this condo again.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Watercrest Condo building,pool & hot tub very nice. Overall 1202 was comfortable but not very clean. We arrived and found mold on shower curtain and soap scum around shower fixtures. Balcony curtains very dirty at the bottom. Other than that we did enjoy our stay.

Summer Vacation

This unit needs a major upgrade before it should be rented again. All the furniture was unsteady, all the dresser drawers did not close, broken cabinet facing in kitchen. It had a projection tv in the extra bedroom that didnt even work. Mismatched couches. Cloth one had a bad odor and food on the pull out matress. Leather one was an electric recliner that did not work. Appeared pretty clean when we walked in but not under furniture and beds. It had a great location with great views, but so most if the other units.

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.

Avoid at all costs

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: These property owners have totally mailed it in. The Linen service is hot garbage: towels are small, rough and tattered. The condo is bare bones. There's zero rugs and no doormats. The floors stay wet and sandy with no where to wipe your feet. EVERYTHING is antiquated and on its last legs. The kitchen needs a full overhaul. The couch smells sweaty. Total disappointment as Watercrest is a great place to stay.
