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.
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 ❤️
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.
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!!
We stayed in this condo last year and enjoyed the whole experience so much that we booked it again this year. The property owner is very nice and always responds to texts and emails. The condo has everything we need and the view is spectacular! Highly recommend this unit!
The family and I had a wonderful stay. Having our coffee on the patio every morning with those stunning views was definitely a highlight. The sunsets were amazing. The condo was perfect for our family of four.
Our family loved this spot and proximity to everything. It’s very quiet part of PCB and family friendly. This condo had everything that met my family’s need and was large enough for 6 (2 adults 4 kids ) and the view from the balcony was our favorite spot in the evenings! Will definitely be staying here again.
The property was terrific. Well appointed, comfortable with terrific balcony and views. The entire building was spotless.

Beautiful View & Stay on Panama City Beach!
My family & myself throughly enjoyed our stay at The Watercrest. We enjoyed all the amenities at the resort. The condo was beautiful & totally equipped all the way down to the built in phone chargers on the night stands. We will be back!
We enjoyed watching the waves, dolphins, stingrays and other fish in the beautiful clear water from the large balcony. The rooms are spacious and clean. The kitchen was furnished very well.

Great week at the Beach
The condo was very spacious and well furnished. The kitchen was to die for!! The beach chairs were a big plus. The covered parking space helped keep the car cooler in the hot Fla. sun. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend it!!
We enjoyed every minute of our visit. The condo was perfect. We have stayed at a lot of places through the years and this was by far the best stocked kitchen. The owners thought of everything. Thank you for a great week!!

Beautiful condo with a beautiful view!
My family felt right at home. The furnishings were comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. We couldn’t ask for a better place to vacation. The owner was very nice and gave plenty of information for our stay. We hope to return since this was our first trip to PCB!

Blessed to have no stress!!
We had just gone through 6 months of downsizing & moving my parents from a home of 54 years. Watercrest properties & beach were a fabulous way to destress. Our accommodations were awesome!
Our stay was enjoyable overall, however, we woke up to the sounds of the construction crew working on the roof every day. The balcony furniture really needs replacing. Overall, this was a nice, clean beachfront condo with decent amenities.
