Apr 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Smokey Balcony We rented this specifically for the ability to sit on the balcony. Unfortunately, the building design does not allow for any breeze. All the smoke, both cigarette and marijuana, blew directly into the balcony from the other balconies because the others stick out into the ocean breezes. The smoke was constant, even at 3 am. It was like sitting in an ash tray. It would not have been a problem if the balcony stuck out and not in. Everything else was wonderful. The decor, beds, kitchen. I do not think this is a problem that can be fixed as it is the building design and not a property management problem. I would rent from this group again, but not this unit. I wish I had known in advance so I could have chosen something else as sitting on the balcony and listening to the waves is what we like to do. ##### Karina V. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian M., New Haven, MI Apr 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful condo at Watercrest! We came for Spring Break and wanted a quieter environment compared to previous trips to Panama City Beach. This unit and building was nice and quiet with tons of younger kids - perfect for families! The unit was very clean and well taken care of. The unit's wifi password didn't work during our stay so we had to use the building's general wifi but it was sufficient enough to be able to work remotely. Everything about the unit itself was great. The unit was super clean upon our arrival - I was really impressed that there was no sandy grit walking around barefoot considering it's a beachfront condo. Watercrest was a great building overall. The only two negatives that I have is the chair service had us back in 3rd row and the tikibar was lackluster - they closed at 5pm so don't expect to get dinner from the bar unless you're an early eater. By 6pm, finding a nearby restaurant that offers carryout is a challenge - the area restaurants we called like Schooners flat out told us they're no longer doing carryout orders. Watercrest's tikibar only serves basic foods that they can reheat in a toaster oven. I drove to Boardwalk to order dinner from their tikibar because their food was so much better (Boardwalk grill's seafood platter is DELICIOUS!!!) -- at the same time, I realize that Watercrest is a much smaller building compared to Boardwalk so that's probably why the tikibar closes so early. My family's scenario is probably unique where we prefer carry-out over dine-in and have food allergies we have to worry about. The chair service is a nice perk for sure, but for a family with young children being back in the 3rd row and not being able to see our kids at the beach was a negative... especially considering the front row was almost entirely empty (assumingly reserved for owners or people who pay). We only spent one day at the beach because of it and instead spent the rest of our time at the pool. The pool was great and my kids had no problem finding new friends to play with. The security guards were not overbearing and allowed everyone to have a good time. The only other slight knock is the cleaning crew was literally sitting on the bench outside the unit at 8am on departure day. He kept saying no rush but it still felt rushed knowing they were waiting. A few criticalities aside, our time at Beach Happy condo was absolutely excellent. The owners and Sunkissed Rentals definitely have pride in ownership and take care of the unit! A+ would recommend!!!! ##### Brian M.
