Love Watercrest and this condo!! We had 8 adult/teens and fit is all perfectly!! The patio is so roomy and relaxing!! The view was breathtaking!! This is our 3rd time staying at Watercrest!!
Clean, comfortable stay, great people, beautiful beachfront… a wonderful home away from home. We enjoyed being surrounded by locals (owners) as well as vacationers. Great patio, we played games on the deck every evening. And it’s close to Schooner’s which is a must visit. Thanks, we’ll be back!

We loved this condo so much! It is the best condo we have ever rented on the beach. The building’s location is perfect and the beach was not crowded at all. The snack/tiki bar by the pool was nice to have available as well. We loved having the beach chair service included with the condo. The condo was perfect size and had everything that our family of 6 needed. We would love to stay here again.

The condo was clean and was as advertised. The view was beautiful. The water is gorgeous. My daughter and grandkids really enjoyed the heated pool. There was a lot of drawer space but the closets needed some hangers. Loved it

Oh, sorry we will get more hangers, they seem to walk away lol. Thank you for the review. Everyone needs this getaway every now and again, Sea You Soon, Sherry
The condo was as expected. Beds were comfortable and overall the condo was clean. Communication was great and we had a wonderful time. We were on the 15th floor, but other than one time we didn’t really have wait times for the elevator. Will definitely book again. Thank you!
We enjoyed our stay. The balcony was the highlight. We ate breakfast every day on the balcony and some evenings too. Very private. The complex was great. I appreciated the on property security team. The pool was heated which was nice on the cooler days. We enjoyed playing pickle ball and tennis. Would definitely recommend the unit.

Just OK
Property was fairly clean. Master bed was very uncomfortable. A/C did not work well in guest bedroom. Noise in condo above was annoying.
Such a great stay in this little slice of paradise! The condo was just as advertised with beautiful views of the beach from the huge balcony and plenty of sun and shade to enjoy the scenery, comfortably! The bedrooms and common spaces were great sizes and the kitchen was perfect for cooking, with basically everything we needed! The condo was stocked with plenty of extra towels, extra fans, and dishes. We also loved that we were able to reserve beach chairs for our stay, we even paid to have 2 more added so we could all enjoy them. Loved the Watercrest! Wasn’t too noisy or overcrowded and everyone we met was incredibly nice. And you can’t beat that short walk to the beach! We’ll definitely be planning to stay here again next summer!

It was our pleasure to host you! Watercrest is a favorite of many as it affords all the amenities most look for in a beach vacation, convenient to attractions and dining without any traffic or parking issue, PERFECT
My family and I absolutely loved everything about this place.
The room was spotless and smelt clean the entire time.
The beds were so comfortable it was hard to get out of them in the morning.
The beach area was not so crowded you couldn’t enjoy yourself.
The elevators were super fast.
Chairs and umbrella came with the room so that helped out tremendously! We didn’t have to drag so much stuff to the beach just to be comfortable all day.
We met the property manager which was Sunkiss Beach Rentals and she was very nice , she made sure we had everything we needed.
Every worker we came across at this hotel was friendly.
Overall we had a great experience at this hotel an will definitely be renting it again.

About the host
Hosted by Chase Steele and Sherry Green
Why they chose this property
Watercrest just completed an amazing renovation from roof to pool deck and it is truly wonderful, fresh and well maintained. I chose this end of the beach as there are never any traffic issues even in peak season and parking and elevators at Watercrest are never an issue so your vacation time here is stress free. Also, you are minutes away from all the major attractions and St Andrews State Park!
What makes this property unique
The view is world renown and it is special privilege to be able to view the ocean from the balcony or have the option of sitting in the shaded balcony area. We love the fact that the balcony is not long and narrow as most are but has plenty of room for a group of 8 to dine on the balcony.
