A lot to be desired

The unit has mold on the knobs for both showers- otherwise very clean, extremely dated. The beach is wayyyyyy over crowded due to the large amounts of chair rentals they allow. Also, public beach access allows a rough crowd on the left end of the condominium. It is overall nice but we won’t be back.

Great stay with beautiful ocean view. We saw dolphins every morning off the patio. Tons of things to do around to keep you busy if not at the beach. We will stay here again.

Perfect!

Just returned from a week stay with my daughter and three grandchildren in this unit. Absolutely loved everything. Amazing Balcony, beautiful view, very spacious, nice beach, everything needed is supplied. We didn't want to leave! Already trying to figure out when we can go back! The best place I have stayed for a beach vacation!

Very dated

The unit was very dated, the mildew in the bathrooms, and there was lots of mold/ mildew in the bathroom facets. When you sat on the couch it went straight down to the ground practically, also the icemaker did not work. But nice patio and table. The check in process was good. And lots of room.

Awesome location and property

This is our second time staying at the Watercrest and it was great as usual except one problem. The day before our checkout the door key would not work so we were locked out of our room for about an hour. Left my phone in the room with all of the contact information so I went to the security office on the property and he finally got in touch with someone and got us back in our room.

Condo is just OK

The condo was clean on arrival and we had plenty of towels and toiletries. Overall, it was OK. The kitchen, bathrooms and living room furniture needs to be updated and it needs some more decorating. The trash compactor didn't work. The blinds in the master need to be replaced and the living room needs blinds, especially this time of year. The carpet installation in the living room was not completed and was untucked at the sliding glass door. The balcony furniture is showing some age. The balcony has a bit of "tunnel vision" because of the way it is set back into the building. Overall, we liked the property. Property is well maintained. Fitness room is good. We will likely rent here again, but will look for a nicer unit with a better view from the balcony.

Yearly girls trip

Loved our stay. Pool rules need tweaked to accommodate adults not just families with kids. (no glass by pool makes sense but no beverage within 4 feet of pool ridiculous and when pool closes at 10pm you should still be able to set at tables to enjoy the ocean and ambiance). Location, ocean view, sun and friends equaled great time.
