I was not happy place was not clean. Everything in there could use a deep clean. Tried contacting the management company and no one would call us back. Very unhappy that we couldn’t even get a call back.

Loved Watercrest and ECDI

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: First of all, I loved working with ECDI. This was my 2nd time renting from them this year. They were easy to contact, quick to respond, they have many really nice properties to choose from, and prices are competitive. They also offered a returning customer discount!. The watercrest was really pretty with clean grounds, ample parking and on-site staff was very helpful. Our room was spotless, very roomy, and nicely decorated. Pool was great and not crowded for our stay on Labor Day weekend. We would definitely stay here again, and most definitely rent from ECDI over and over!

The place was a great place to stay. Definitely could use some updated pots and pans and cooking utensils! If you walk around barefoot, the bottoms of your feet will turn black. Place could definitely benefit from some dehumidifiers! Bring beach stuff cause none is supplied. We’ve stay in the condo before but a different unit and it was much more well kept, had a huge side balcony and beach supplies, and it was way cheaper! I would stay here again just maybe not this unit!

Ok stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were a bit disappointed with the balcony, it was set back and couldn’t see either side of the beach or sunsets. Also, our rental didn’t come with the umbrella and 2 beach chairs which was an additional unexpected costs for us. The master bedroom only has 2 side table lamps, not good lighting. The room was no better than the one we originally booked. The Watercrest resort always had a sewage smell out front of the resort. We made the best of our stay due to having to be moved last minute.

We woke up to water dripping from the ceiling and notified maintenance. They came and assessed the situation and told us the room above us had flooded. We tried calling emarald coast destination and received no answer so we sent an email. They replied back and said they would have maintenance assess the leak, which was already done. Later that night the plaster started falling from the ceiling in the dining room so I called emerald coast destination again the next morning and talked to a lady and told her we would like a partial refund or be moved to another room and she said she would notify the appropriate person to let them know about our request. Later that day we finally received a call back and they offered to move us to a whole different condo down the road, which wasn’t ideal for us cause we had rented two condos at watercrest and half of our family was in the other condo so that would split us up. So we declined that option. The maintenance guy at watercrest eventually came and cleaned up the mess that the water leak had caused which we appreciated very much.

When we arrived at the condo it was very warm/hot inside. Tried to adjust the thermostat to a lower setting to cool off the condo & the thermostat would not go below 70. Had to use a personal fan to help cool the condo. Condo was not very clean. Floors were dirty, found mildew in the bathrooms/showers. We cleaned ourselves. The ice maker in the refrigerator was not working & we found water in the floor each day in front refrigerator. We reached out to our contact person via our rental agreement to have these problems corrected & never heard back or saw a service repair person. Only one elevator was working & made our wait time very long to go back & forth to the beach/pool. Bottom line, we were not happy with this condo.

2025. Vacation

The condo was fantastic. It was well stocked ( except there wasn’t a regular coffee maker(there is now)). The Watercrest is always a great place to stay and relax.

The building is under construction. Constant noise and grinding. Paint fumes if the doors are open. The pool and hot tub are closed due to construction. Work starts by 8 am every morning. None of that was disclosed ahead of time.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the disruption caused by the building’s construction and amenity closures; the work is managed by the HOA and outside of our control, but we’re reviewing our listing to ensure any known updates are clearly communicated going forward.

Would stay again if they changed a few things.

The beds weren’t very comfy and there were no dishes to cook with that were even worth trying to cook on, 2 spatulas that needed to be thrown away years ago. If I had planned on cooking a big meal there would have been nothing for me to do that. If you walked around barefoot your feet would be black! Beautiful view and loved the grounds!

Summer vacation

The property was as described. Bottom outlets in the both bedrooms dont work, light bulbs were blown in living room. Kitchen could use a deep clean and dish towels. Entire condo needs to be dusted and the bathrooms, including the tub needs a deep clean. Great view of the beach and pool. Lots of beach toys, beach chairs, and blow up mattress included. Convenient to all things PCB.

The overall stay was fantastic. You cannot beat beach views, location, sitting on the beach or balcony enjoying every minute of this beautiful location. The room was clean but smelled musty. A bit dated. The paint in the main bath was dripping- like the paint job wasn’t done and maybe someone showered and it just melted? I’m not sure it was intentional. . The couch was ultra comfortable 10/10. Beds were squeaky and less than hotel quality but I slept like a baby after being beachside. Shower heads were dated and it was difficult to get a good water temperature, but again got the job done- on par with past experiences. No ice maker in any condo I have ever stayed in seems to work so that’s par for the course. I would stay here again, if you take OUT of consideration what was out of the owners hands; the elevators were broken every day but check in day. Security was 11/10. Loved all those guys! Watercrest property management worked hard to remedy the elevators though weren’t successful, they were making efforts and that didn’t go unnoticed. Loved the dragonflies, it’s a family thing so I loved that piece of the condo. Extra toilet paper, some pods for keurig, and pods for dishwasher would have been nice touches but not a big deal. Red rug was hard to vacuum, we tried keeping it less sandy throughout the trip. Dryer took a couple runs to dry stuff adequately but again ended up getting the job doneOverall I loved our stay, the condo met our needs, and we had a beautiful time
