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.

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.

Stunning Panoramic Views of the Gulf
Watercrest 1609 is by far our favorite condo that we've enjoyed on the Panama City coast. The condo is well apportioned with everything one needs for a comfortable stay. The windows facing south and west offer stunning views of the gulf's incredible sunsets. The room sizes at Watercrest tend to be larger than other condo buildings providing a bit more room to spread out. And the owner couldn't have been more available for a few minor issues during our long-stay at the property. Highly recommended!!

Very well kept property. Our unit was as listed, met some really nice people, weather and ocean were great. My only complaint was one of the guys that took care of the chair rentals on the beach was very rude. Overall, nice vacation😎

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 ❤️

Annual couples trip.
This unit is on the 16th floor which had us a little worried about waiting on elevators, but it was never an issue. Unit was very clean and had plenty of room. Bath tub drained slow, but owner had a plumber there very quickly to correct problem. Kitchen well stocked, beds very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Great layout and great kitchen!
This is one of the nicer condos we have stayed in and I think we have done about 10 different beach front condos over the years. We loved the double slider onto the HUGE balcony. You can seat everyone for dinner out there. This is a unique building that has multiple corner units on each end. You get a really nice panorama view down the beach from the living room. The master bedroom also has a slider to the balcony not shown in pictures. The best view is from the living room. And you are way up there on the 16th floor so you can get a great view of the water. The kitchen has granite tops and was great to work in. We loved how wide the living room and kitchen was. Well stocked amenities made cooking multiple meals easy. Trash chute was only steps away from the door which was very convenient. My kids loved having the pickle ball and tennis courts on site. The pool is big! The location is on what I would consider the quieter end of PCB. Great restaurants nearby and just a short drive to Walmart and more attractions. We were here for two weeks and the stay was great!

Great 1st time in FL for winter
Condo was great, kitchen was so well preparedwith everything you could want to cook a meal, beds were comfortable, laundry was great, plenty of hot water. Best thing was the ocean view and it was stunning and a lovely place to wake up to the world with a walk on the beach and coffee on the deck. Table and chairs were delightful for eating an early dinner watching the sun set on the veranda. Beautiful place to spend a month!
