Slept all 10 of us comfortably and the patio sat all 10 of us as well. The floor was dirty and you have to wear shoes in the condo but it is the beach. Really could use a new couch. We spent most of our time out doors. Would stay here again for sure!!! ##### Tammy C. Stayed 7 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### richard M. May 19, 2019 #### What a joy staying at this condo. Karen in the rental office couldn't have been more helpful. The condo was perfect for us, wonderful views, 3 private bedrooms and bathrooms. We were very happy. The beach and gulf are so great compared to the beaches in Maryland. Clean white sand, very relaxed atmosphere, nice pool, wonderful balcony. We saw hundreds of devil-rays(which are harmless and so adorable to watch), dolphins, many seagulls, and manatees. How lucky were we, and the sunsets another blessing. Hated to come home. We will be back as soon as we can. Thanks Karen for your help and kindness. <3 ##### richard M. Stayed 5 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie K. Apr 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Floor to ceiling windows Loved the two king suites and balcony was pretty large. Only real downside was one (of the two that go to our floor) elevator wasn’t working and while we were loading the car the only other elevator to our floor got stuck for a bit. It was resolved shortly after. The view was great. Pool wasn’t too crowded and lots of beach room! ##### Katie K. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Kimberlee A., TN Mar 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pleasant Stay except for Elevator It was great to be right on the beach and have just a couple of steps to walk right out on the sand. The kids loved playing in the pool after playing in the ocean. We stayed in the same complex last spring break in a different unit and had a great time. The only issue was trouble with the elevator on the first full day of our trip. There are two elevators (one on either side) that service floors 1-6 and two elevators in the middle that service floors 1-17. This unit is on the 15th floor, so you use the middle two elevators. One of them was out of order and had been down for several weeks according to the residents and security we spoke with. After enjoying the beach and the pool, we go to use the one working elevator, and it isn't working. We spoke with the property management company who spoke with the property HOA office. Their two elevator maintenance workers were out, one at lunch and the other to a Dr appt. They were at the mercy of these workers, and they were jot answering their phones. There was a build up of people waiting at the elevators trying to get to their rooms with children, handicap people who can't use stairs, and others with groceries that were melting. Talking with permanent residents of the property, this is a common occurrence. We ended up having to walk up 15 flights of stairs to get to the unit, which was very difficult with children and elderly parents. We didn't have trouble with the elevator (one working) after this incident, but it was frustrating not knowing if the elevator would be working or not. We understand this host doesn't have control of this, but this is obviously a known problem of the building and should be handled much differently than simply relying on two elevator maintenance workers who may or may not answer their phone. ##### Kimberlee A. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### TheJacksonfam4 Aug 19, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved it. The condo was great. We love watercrest and loved the layout. The owner had beach equipment for us to use, a fully stocked kitchen (pots, pans, appliances), movies, games, etc. Check-in was easy (we were even able to check in early.) The cleaners didn't do a very good job of cleaning the floors, but overall, it's a great condo and we had a great experience. We would highly recommend staying here! ##### TheJacksonfam4 Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan P. Aug 18, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great experience This was our first time staying in this unit and it was wonderful. As a family of 7 we often have a difficult time finding a condo to fit our family. We loved that the bedrooms were all large and that one bedroom included a queen bed and bunk beds. The king bed in the master was extremely comfortable. As someone with back problems, I appreciated that the beds had mattress toppers and were supportive. The unit was extremely clean and well furnished. We look forward to next year! ##### Alan P. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### David C. Jul 26, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Dirty Sand on bed, countertops not wiped down, dirty dishes in the cabinet, our feet literally turned black five minutes after being there just by walking on the floors. Other than that, great stay! ##### David C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Pamela T.

We loved that it was close enough to the popular attractions without being in the heavily populated area. ##### Jamie L. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Sasikumar D.

Aug 9, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Needed Family Vacation The property and location as a whole are nice. It is on the far side of PCB closer to St. Andrews. We knew that with reserving! The unit being on the 15th floor has beautiful views. Unit 1507 could use some updating but was very comfortable for us. I would recommend including the beach chairs in the rental instead of having to acquire upon arrival. All in all PCB didn’t disappoint as usual. We have been several times and intend to visit again next year. ##### Brad O. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Esmeralda T.

May 2, 2019 #### You will not be disappointed! Loved having two king-sized oceanfront master suites; one for us grandparents and the other for our son and daughter-in-law! Our 3 granddaughters loved having twin-sized bunkbeds and a queen bed in their bedroom as well as their own bathroom. Ate a lot of family dinners on the spacious balcony while enjoying the panoramic view of the ocean and sunsets. Heated pool was enjoyed by all, as well as the hot tub. Spent many days at the beautiful beach. We highly recommend this condo. ##### Denise P. Stayed 29 nights in Mar 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Megan C. Aug 29, 2018 #### If you can book through any other property manager, I would! From the get go, Emerald Beach Properties were a headache to deal with. They were impossible to reach when it came to just booking and paying the condo- in fact to pay my final installment 1 month out from the trip I had to contact VRBO twice to reach out to them to pay my final portion of the trip. Now to the actual stay: When we first arrived we were so thirsty we wanted to buy drinks from the vending machines but the vending machines were turned off. We told the roaming security guard the machines were out of order and she informed us that while the "snack shack" was open the vending machines are turned off. We went down to the snack shack and sure enough it was closed. So when we told her that, she said "oh okay". She proceeded to turn on the machines- so I guess we were thankful for that. The condo itself was NASTY. Sand everywhere, old hair ties and old rotten food under the couches and beds. The beds had sand all in the sheets - we stripped the beds to notice that the sheets had not even been washed prior to our arrival!!! The first night we walked around bare foot and our feet were BLACK! Housekeeping really needs a wakeup call for these property managers- they do not know how to even do the minimum of their job with the floors being that gross. A few lights in the place did not work- but don't text or call like they say because no one responds or ever comes. We texted and called house keeping for trash bags (they gave us 5qt liners for a 13qt trash can). No response. We also asked for new sheets, no response. The pools are so nice- I will say that and the gym is also very clean and nice. The raquet room was locked and closed the whole time we were there. Do not bother with the snack shack- the employees working were rude and on their phone the whole time. A few times they were sitting in the chairs outside the snack shack smoking... playing on their cellphone. I understand business was probably slow- but that is just very unprofessional. To comment on the actual beach- it was nice. Safe to say we will never return to these condo's again. It was a shame that I have given 2 weeks to Emerald Beach to contact me and they have yet to do it. So for that , they truly earned their one star rating. ##### Megan C.

This unit has an amazing view, was very clean and in a great location. Would highly recommend. ##### Tara S. Stayed 6 nights in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Judith W. Oct 14, 2017 #### Wonderful We love staying at the Watercrest. The amenities are perfect. The unit was lovely and had everything you would every need for a vacation. The property management was ready and efficient for anything we needed. The memory foam toppers on the beds need to be replaced or new mattresses are warranted. The beds need some work. Nonetheless, everything else was perfect and we will stay again if the bed situation is addressed. ##### Judith W.

The condo worked great for everyone. Nikki and Jessi were absolutely awesome contact people. They were excellent and very helpful with everything! The beach, the pool, the property and everything around it was very family and kid friendly! I would absolutely recommend this condo to any and everyone!! ##### Heather R. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mondrian South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Mondrian-South-Beach.h2190271.Hotel-Information) > > [W South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-W-South-Beach.h11881.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Orlando at WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Orlando-At-WALT-DISNEY-WORLD-Resort.h7374428.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Hard Rock Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Hard-Rock-Hotel.h485506.Hotel-Information) > > [Reunion Resort & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Reunion-Resort-Golf-Club.h992499.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Fort Lauderdale 17th Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-Ft-Lauderdale17th-Street.h11909.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Dockside-Inn-Suites.h33770341.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando at Flamingo Crossings](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Orlando-Flamingo-Crossings.h58072517.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Resort-Surfside-Inn-And-Suites.h27522522.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-At-The-Entrance-To-Universal-Orlando.h5398.Hotel-Information) > > [B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-B-Ocean-Resort.h5404.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach House Fort Lauderdale, a Hilton Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Hilton-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h28591.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tides on Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Tides-On-Hollywood.h44524455.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Loews-Miami-Beach-Hotel-South-Beach.h81223.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Miami-Beach.h74574.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Orlando International Drive](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Orlando-International-Drive.h4262.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-1-Hotel-South-Beach.h1790087.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Margaritaville-Hollywood-Beach-Resort.h10005147.Hotel-Information) > > [Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Diplomat-Beach-Resort-Hollywood.h857779.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Miami South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Moxy-Miami-South-Beach.h55553829.Hotel-Information) > > [Walt Disney World Dolphin](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Walt-Disney-World-Dolphin.h12710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Westin-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h17159.Hotel-Information) > > [W Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-W-Fort-Lauderdale.h2335216.Hotel-Information) > > [Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Fort-Lauderdale-Marriott-Harbor-Beach-Resort-Spa.h21880.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Orange-Lake-Resort.h6315.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Bahama-Bay-Resort.h1056615.Hotel-Information)
