My mother loves the beach. Being in a wheelchair doesn’t make it easy for us to help her enjoy that. Disabled access to the beach was definitely something that was on the forefront of mind in the design of this place. There is a walk-mat that stretches from the wheelchair ramp at the pool nearly halfway to the edge of the ocean.
This trip was wonderful. I’d definitely stay here again and will definitely recommend to friends and family.
We enjoyed our stay at the condo, but had I known that the property has had a broken elevator for quite some time and obviously has no plans on fixing it made for a miserable Sunday trying to check out and having take 11 flights of steps with our luggage just so we could get my son to his baseball game on time. The one working elevator was backed up for more than 30 minutes with those trying to use a luggage cart.
Had some issues getting a visitor parking pass but the agency fixed that within about 3 hours.
The unit was nice and updated, no complaints about the condo itself. I only removed one star because of the elevator issue. Thanks

We are so sorry about the elevator. The -arts were taking longer than expected but I can assure you the repair was high priority…. So sorry for the inconvenience we truly are…. All elevators are working perfectly now!
The condo didn’t meet my expectations at all. The dryer was broke and I wasn’t informed of this issue until the day of check in, about a couple hours prior to my check in time which was 4pm. The washer smelled like mold and was nasty with black stuff and full of sand and shells, which without a dryer didn’t really matter if the washer worked or not. The air filters for the ac was covered thick with dust. The ice machine in the fridge didn’t work well, I think the filter needed to be changed as when we took it out and shook it and replaced it, it started making ice again. The tub/shower that wasn’t in the master bedroom was stuck on the shower position so no bathtub for the toddler. All the linens and towels were brand new and smelled funny especially the towels after use, I guess this was because they were brand new and never been washed. I couldn’t get the tv to work in the master bedroom. I thought it might have been the batteries but that wasn’t the issue, the tv was unplugged from power when we arrived and now I know why, because you can’t turn in on/off because no working remote, it just stays on the screen saver. I only was able to use my own accounts to watch netflix, etc. it had a paper in the condo stating that it was supposed to have cable channels but I was so sick of complaining I didn’t even mess with the tv issues. I reached out to the property owners and they did bring me more light bulbs, more brand new towels but never had a dryer.

We are so sorry the dryer stopped working when we were preparing for your visit. We purchased a new one but it wasn’t able to be installed until the day you left since you were only here 5 days. The ice maker worked fine it was just not pushed back into the slot correctly. We have a new tv/wifi service at Watercrest and everyone is really enjoying it. Many of your remarks are not correct but I guess when we had the dryer issue other things became hyper irritants. As you stated everything else you ask for we brought immediately

What makes this property unique
We love the East end of the beach because traffic nor parking are ever an issue. Watercrest condos are all 1400 plus square feet with large balconies and is very well maintained and clean with fast elevators. All very important to a stress free vacation!
