Amazing condo

We loved this condo so much this was our second time staying here! We absolutely loved the upgrades in both bathrooms!! The two things we would change is how hard the living room balcony's door is to slide open. And the chairs at the bar are slightly wobbly. But this is such a minor issue considering the whole condo is wonderful.

Amazing Stay

Our stay with GulfCrest was nothing short of amazing. The views were breath taking, with more fun than we expected! We will definitely be coming back. Our 5 children ages 2 up to 7 were in heaven with our week at Gulf Crest and the smiles on their faces for the week could never be forgotten or replaced!

Spring Break 2024

The condo location was excellent with many restaurants and activities for teenagers to do within walking distance. Views were amazing. Plenty of room for 8 people plus other friends who stopped by for dinner. Only recommendation is to add some mirrors in the condo. The only mirrors were in both bathrooms. A mirror in the bedroom would be helpful when everyone is getting ready.

Could easily be 5 stars

The check in process was easy. The floor was gross. It turned our feet black very quickly. It needed to be mopped badly. The shower in the master bath drained extremely slow leaving water backed up when showering. That is so gross, especially in a rental property. The handles for both showers seemed as if they were going to fall off at any minute. There were no trash bags, no laundry detergent, dish detergent, extra toilet paper, or even hand soap in the condo. We had to go and buy all of that. There were about 4 coffee mugs total, which would’ve been okay if there was a way to wash them either by hand or in the dishwasher. There were 2 kitchen towels total (not enough for 7 people for 5 days at all). The location was great and the view is amazing, but not having simple things for guests makes it seem like the host didn’t really care about your experience.

Loved PCB

The condo was nice and spacious for our family. We had 8 total. Beautiful views. Beds were very comfortable for everyone. The bathrooms could use some updating and the cleaning service could do better. Floor was still dirty and the comforter in the master bedroom was dirty. Other than that it was a great place to stay. Parking was good (we drive 1 tons) and loved that it was gated. Super friendly staff. We will definitely be back.

Disappointed

First off the bad side, the cleanliness was very upsetting. All of the dishes had to be washed because there was still food on most them and there was hair in the shower. To have such a high cleaning fee I was expecting better. The sink didn’t drain so when we attempted to cook it was a nightmare. The bathroom light stopped working so we used a lamp for a day. I did contact the company several times for maintenance and they eventually got it all fixed. Definitely needs some updating for sure. Several outlets did not work and barely any water pressure in the shower. The washer and dryer needs a very good cleaning because of mold.And we had a 6 am built in alarm clock thanks to the construction right next door. Now for the good side. The view is amazing! The beds are comfortable and plenty of room for the 8 of us staying.

Keep Looking!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was 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: Needs a complete remodel for the price we paid. Furniture is worn out, condo was not cleaned properly. Kitchen is not stocked with basic silverware, glasses, or plates (not even a set of 4 in anything). Bar stools are dangerous for children , unstable. Walls in bunk bed area were nasty. Bedspread were not clean, drawers in dresser would not stay closed. I contacted the agency who rents this model and they only said they would pass the information on to the realtor. NOTHING DONE!! I will never rent from this Realtor again. I would go directly through the Gulf Crest Condo Office and rent directly from them, which is cheaper and you have a person on site to correct any problems you might have.

Needs Attention

Nice condo, but needs attention. The condo needs a deep cleaning. The bottom of the bathtub was covered in sand, obviously it hadn’t been cleaned, the floors in the condo were dirty as well. If you are planning on doing any cooking, this condo isn’t for you. The condo may sleep 10 people, but it does not accommodate 10 people. The kitchen is poorly stocked with plates, glasses, silverware, pots and pans, etc. The kitchen has the bare minimum in it. There was one dish towel and dish rag, six towels for three bedrooms, no beach towels, you will have to buy anything you need to clean for the week. On Friday and Saturday night we got to listen to the music and DJ coming from the bar and liquor store in front of the condo. Other than the music coming from the bar, this condo could be really nice with some TLC and a new cleaning service.

The view was beautiful. The location was fantastic. Over all clean, we could not use the coffee pot due to old coffee grounds that had molded. Before we went to the beach the floor was very gritty like it wasn't swept. Overall was a great stay just a few minor things.
