Very clean

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was extremely clean, & the LR furniture was very very comfortable & nice. But the beds were so uncomfortable we barely slept all week. One thing that really hurt our stay is the unit below us smoked cigarettes & pot for 3 hrs every single morning & really ruined our balcony enjoyment in the mornings. Besides the pot/cigarette smoke & uncomfortable beds, it was a good week stay. Courtney at the front desk is absolute THE BEST!

Nice condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve stayed on this condo unit the last several years and it is nice. However, it could use done updating and new furniture. The bottom drawer of the dresser in the main bedroom has been broken for 3 years even after we told management to notify owners. The living room couch sinks in and needs replaced. Other than those couple things, the unit is very nice. A keurig would be a nice add on to the kitchen. 😊

2nd year in 1603

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second year staying with Gulf Crest Condominiums in unit 1603. The unit is great and has just about everything you can think of. It even has a crock pot. The only thing that I would like to see kept there is a box fan so bring one if you need one. The only negative thing about this unit is the internet sucks. You have to use the shared Wi-Fi that the whole building uses instead of private Wi-Fi and it's very slow. The TVs are Wi-Fi type app TVs so they don't work all the time due to the slow internet. Other than that everything's great. There's extra blankets and pillows and the closet and there's also beach toys in one of the closets. Your beach chairs are included with the rental. The elevators are still fast. We did forget to print our parking passes for a few days and got a warning on our windshield so make sure that if you do the check-in online that you print those off before you leave your home or as soon as you get to Gulf Crest.
