Thoughtful and clean

Condo located on the most beautiful beach! Owner was thoughtful in the little things that can mean a lot too. For example, vacation kit with games, nice supply of needed kitchen utensils, and several pods for washing clothes. Only improvement I would highly suggest is replacing the master bedroom mattress. We found ourselves falling into the voids. Also, if I were to pick anything apart, I’d suggest leaving some additional toilet paper as well since rolls are small. Oh, and know it’s a constant battle to avoid mild around clothes washer but the seal inside the machine may need replacing. But must say the condo was very clean and again well thought out in the touches. Thank you again for the stay. Many thanks, MLD.

Awesome for short stay

The place is a little older however one of the cleanest places we have stayed. Location is perfect for less crowded side of PCB. We loved the fact they are super strict about non smoking. It was great to enjoy sitting and not smell smoke even outside. The only things that needs improvement, nothing is comfortable. The king bed has a dip in the middle so you roll in and the 2 full size beds are hard as bricks. The couch is older and lost its cozy(it's like padding on board. ) Still if your only staying a few days it's perfect anything over you may need a chiropractor. You are asked to sweep, take out trash, strip beds and start dishwasher before you leave.

Relaxed

Condo was clean, Nat the chair guy very nice and friendly. Condo was supplied well with pots, pans, cups, plates, silverware. We stayed for 5 nights and could have stayed another 5 nights. When speaking with Cort he was very kind made me feel welcomed. Chase was very prompt with texting me back with answers to my questions. I am very pleased with my stay. We were 3 ladies over the age of 50 and felt 18.. It was amazing.

Panama Jewel

We enjoyed our stay! The condo is really nice and shows even better in person. The location is great, right on the beach with a great patio facing the beach. The decor is nice and the finishes are as well. The mgmt team was very responsive and attentive. If I posed a question, it was always answered the same day. I notified mgmt that the blender was broken and they had one a brand new one delivered next morning. I think the Watercrest complex can improve their curb appeal a little by refreshing the paint, pressure washing the building and updating the patio chairs. But you won’t be disappointed with this condo which is wonderfully located to the amenities.
