The property was clean and beach view was really nicer. However The living room furniture (sofas) could use steam cleaning. The amenities were nice and easy accessible. We enjoyed our stay.
Need hotter water in the master bath. Sheets on the bunks. Great views, great location, friendly security.

The balcony size and furnishings were exquisite and first attracted us to want to stay in 805 Gulfcrest. The beautiful condo size and accommodations were icing on the cake. One of our top stays in PCB!!!
The accomodations were excellent. After an upgrade to the bathrooms, this condo will be perfect. The balcony was extremely and comfortably attired with very nice furniture. The kitchen was fully equipped. The TVs were of high quality. Wifi was very good. Overall, a great stay and highly recommended.

My wife and I rented this condo for 4 nights. Was very pleased with it. Communication from Bill and the desk staff was excellent. The ease of check in process was pretty much effortless. We especially loved the large balcony and all of its furniture. Inside the condo was beautiful and clean. The furnishings felt like home and didn't have that "rental condo " vibe. Beach service was a huge plus. I would highly recommend.

Thanks, Jeff, for your review. We are happy you enjoyed Unit 805 and the Gulf Crest resort. The owners love providing the added perk of beach chair setup. I am glad you enjoyed it, and we hope to have you back again! Bill Rudcki Meyer Realty, Inc. GulfCrestVacations
This was my first time in Panama City Beach and our first time staying at Gulf Crest Condo’s. I am very particular and did a lot of research before booking this unit…..read reviews, etc. Check in was a breeze! The owner was super quick to respond throughout the process. The resort and amenities were a plus to this beautiful condo! Everything was as shown in the pictures and the sunsets from the balcony were spectacular! It’s in a great location and we are already looking to see when we can come back! I would highly recommend this unit to anyone! Thank you for an awesome vacation!
The late night television options were horrible. Bathrooms outdated. No extra amities for this condo. Talked to several owners that were on site that showed there units and could not believe the difference. Sorry!’

Hi Rodney,
I am surprised by how you gave this beautiful unit a 3-star review. We have only had 5 stars in the past.
No extra amenities? You got Comlinentary Beach set up service, 2 lounge chairs, and a large umbrella for the week. That is a $45/Day value. Also, we keep extra beach chairs and a cooler in the unit for your use.
The owners plan on renovating the bathrooms in the off-season but they are certainly not outdated. This unit has a new living room and bedroom furniture and the nicest balcony furniture of all our 2 bedroom units—also a brand new washer and dryer. I apologize that the cable selection with more than 500 channels did not meet your expectations. If you had issues you should have reached out to me so I could help. Communication is everything and you did not communicate with me. Maybe on your next trip.

This was probably the nicest place we have stayed in a while! The condo itself was immaculate. The furnishings were nice. The best feature was the very large (and tiled) deck. It was great and had a wonderful view!
There were plenty of space at the two pools and always chairs available. The beach chair service was so nice and the attendant was one of the nicest young men I have met in awhile. We enjoyed our complimentary chairs with umbrella as well as rented an extra for the week.
The check-in process was all online, was keyless, and we didn't have to talk face to face with anyone when we arrived. I am sure that Bill and the managing company are nice... but since everything was perfect, there was really no need to call!
We will definitely stay here again, no question.
Perfect location and the condo was everything we needed. As a large family, we were able to utilize every aspect of the booking. From cooking at the condo, pool, hot tub, and wonderful beach time.
