Mother's Day Trip

Everything was the way it was described in the listing. Overall, a peaceful and enjoyable stay. Side note, the interaction at the pool was too noisy for my 63 year old mom but my 4 year old enjoyed it. So if there is a significant age gap between individuals in your group, you may want to consider this aspect. However, this didn't take away from the comfort of our stay. Everyone in my group greatly enjoyed being close to the beach as well as being on the 2nd floor. Thanks!

Couples Getaway

The condo was very clean and on the quiet end of Panama City Beach. Being on the 2nd floor, we were able to use the stairs most of the time, but when we needed an elevator, there was no waiting as there are elevators for floors 2 -6 only. BIG advantage. Wanda, the owner was very nice and helpful when we needed help getting TVs working, Highly recommend staying here. Only negative thing I can say about this unit is the noise of the pool. We like to sit out on the balcony at night and it could get noisy. We looked forward to 10pm when they would clear the pool, but we knew this going in and you cannot hear any noise from inside the unit.

Wonderful experience! The property was exactly as described. Essentially, this has double masters, which was perfect for 2 families. Kids stayed in the back bedroom that also had its own bath. Beds were really soft and comfortable. Wanda was such a responsive host. We had a couple small things come up and she took care of them instantly. One of which was a broken blender. I mentioned it to her as an fyi for the next guests, but she had a new one there within a couple hours!! We were impressed! We really loved the 2nd floor so we could bypass the elevators and quickly run back to the room if needed. The outdoor parking was plentiful and worked out perfectly for our oversized transit van. Overall, we loved our stay!

It is a nice condo. The only negative was the quite fuzzy air filter that needed changing. With the heat of August and Septmber, the A/C was on continuous and louder than usual. The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable.

Great experience!! Will definitely stay here again!!

This is our second year staying at Watercrest and we love it. It is a great location with kids. It is a lot less crowded than other condos in Panama City. We loved this unit!! It was very clean and being on the second floor was great with kids. Wanda was very easy to get in touch with and super helpful. There was an issue with parking passes when we arrived and she was easily accessible and got passes for us immediately. We hope to stay in this unit again next year.
