Everything was great, with only exception being 2 showers would hardly drain, but we were able to put on a glove and clear them...that worked so there was no need to call it in...

The stay was great. Our codes were changed before 9 but we were already to leave.
5.0 / 5.0
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.

Excellent
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!

Nice
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.

First Time at Biltmore
Everything about this trip was great! Plenty of beach space so not crowded. Condo was great, very clean. The condo is very accommodating and has wonderful access to steps, elevator, beach, pool, shops and great food with less traffic than anywhere in PCB. Everything the owner stated was exactly what we got and more! Would definitely recommend this place and rent again in the future.

Great Stay
The condo was excellent and exactly what we needed. Sleeping arrangements were comfortable, check in a breeze and great views for a lower level. If we ever return to PCB, this condo will be on the top of the list.

Wonderful Family Vacation
Terrific week in this condo. The unit was perfectly clean and was well stocked with linens and supplies. The owner provided everything that was listed and clearly communicated with us. Great location at the beach. Beautiful view from the huge porch. Reasonable beach rentals with jet skis and boat rides close by. Pool area was clean and the friendly staff kept guests under control. Enough parking and enough carts for loading and unloading. We recommend this unit and we will book again if we return to the Panama City area.

Great condo right on the beach
I would highly recommend this condo if coming to PCB. We were looking for a condo on the east end, away from the crowds due to Covid Our communication with the condo manager was very good and we received our parking passes in the mail before our stay so that we had them when we got there. The condo is on the second floor so we only had to walk up one flight of steps and not wait for elevators like you do for other units which was awesome. The unit was clean and spacious and decorated very nicely. The balcony was huge and you felt like you were over the top of the pool and stepping out onto the beach. And this unit came with so many amenities that I hardly had to use anything that I normally bring to a condo, such as hairdryers, hand soap and dishwasher soap. We will definitely book this condo again when coming to East PCB.

Family Trip
The condo location was perfect in the building as well as overall in PCB. Didn’t have to use an elevator and the sunsets were spectacular. The only bad thing was the kitchen isn’t stocked for kids but everything else was wonderful. Will Hopefully be booking this condo again in future. Thanks Wanda for sharing with us.
