Pictures don’t do it justice, the property itself is one of the cleanest I’ve stayed at in Panama

The views from this room are amazing! The condo did not disappoint. Clean and on point! We will be back - for sure! My significant other, who is hard to please, LOVED everything about this condo- the property, the staff, and everything included!
I almost don’t want to give this too good of a review because I want to keep it secret for ourselves! The location was wonderful and the condo was beautiful! It was just what our family needed for a great stay at the beach.
The place was perfect. Great location, clean, tons of space, comfortable beds, easy to park, totally stocked with anything you needed. Highly recommend.

Our family had the best time and everything was seamless. Condo had everything we needed and the assigned parking spot was great so you didn’t have to look for parking every time you came back from somewhere. Definitely will have to come back to this one again!

Best condo we've ever stayed in, great location, the pools and the beach were always clean. We didn't want to leave and hope to stay in this condo or at Gulf Crest again next time.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful condo! The unit was very clean and decorated beautifully. The huge balcony has a perfect view of the beach and the pool with ample seating for dining or just relaxing.Bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds and plenty of storage. The unit was also fully stocked with anything you need which made our stay stress free. We would definitely book again!
This condo was very clean, updated. Very pleased with this property. The balcony was huge and nicely furnished. The resort was very well maintained and kept very nice and clean. There was always someone cleaning something. Very please with the pools and quick easy access to the beach. All access areas has security gates/codes so we felt very safe. We will be returning.
The location is great! Having an assigned parking spot is also fantastic. The unit was perfect. Lots of room. Balcony was huge and had very comfortable seating! Kitchen was well equipped with all the equipment you would need. PCB is always a great vacation. The beach was amazing.

Even if it rained- this condo would he perfect to relax and chill!

The property was very nice and clean and looked like the pictures check in was easy and pleased that it was a gated community even though it was a nice area it was very nice to have dish washing soap and a few garbage bags already provided I would definitely rent again
An absolute perfect experience with this rental. The space is gorgeous, well organized and is even bigger than it looks! Comfortable, immaculate and tastefully decorated. Great furniture on balcony for a perfect view. The 6th floor was awesome for the view and not too high for stairs, although elevators were always available and quick! Parking also convenient and easy. Pools and seating never too busy! I would highly recommend this unit and will definitely stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely condo. It had everything we needed and then some! We cooked meals with ease but also ate out some and loved the great location of this condo. The huge balcony cannot be beat! It’s so spacious and comfortable with an amazing view of the ocean and pool area. All the windows that looked out to the ocean were also wonderful. When we were inside it made it feel almost as if you weren’t because of the windows and openness of the condo. If we come back to PCB we will definitely try and stay here again. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

Thank you Chasity! I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at Unit 603 and Gulf Crest resort. We look forward to having you back again soon! Bill Rudcki
Overall, we had a great stay while staying in this condo at PCB. We love the balcony with all the furniture and for the first time in 10 years this is the first condo that we have ever stayed at that the sliding door to the balcony opened and closed with such ease! The parking space was perfectly located with easy in and easy out. The dryer dried clothes and towels fairly quickly without having to run the cycle twice. The only thing that we would have changed was the water pressure in the master bath was not great. We would definitely book this condo again.

Nice resort and condo
We stay in Panama City and Gulf Crest annually so are very familiar with the area and resort. The resort is very nice and has had some good upgrades recently.
This unit was in good shape but could have been a little cleaner upon arrival. It’s in need of new bath mats as they were stained and we had to rewash some of the dishes. Only other issue was the master shower water pressure was very low.
Other than that, the unit worked very well for our family and we would recommend it to friends.

Very clean and beautifully updated. The pictures of the condo did not do it justice. Beds were very comfortable and the views were breathtaking. We will most definitely be back!
The views are absolutely fantastic! The access to the beach was perfect. The unit is very spacious and accommodated our family of five easily. I would highly recommend this condo to any family looking for a beachfront vacation spot!
In spite of arriving with the bands of rain and wind from a hurricane and 4 days of a double red flag beaches this was an incredible vacation! From the minute we booked until after we left Meyer Realty’s William Rudcki maintained open communication with us! Quite frankly his quick response and professionalism restored my faith in Rental agencies! The unit was clean and well kept! The kitchen had everything we need and then some! The 2 bedrooms were roomy and well decorated as was the den! The dining area was adjacent to a little cubby containing bunk bed. The bathrooms were spotless and updated! Even the laundry room was neat and clean! Our favorite spot by far was the balcony! It was very large and had a cool bar height table with 4 chairs a lounge chair and a very nice couch and chair with great cushions! So inviting and warm! I can’t say enough about this vacation…which quite simply wouldn’t have been the same at any other location. The pools and hot tubs were cleaned DAILY and not crowed at all during our stay… even on the last 4 days of beautiful sunshine! Thanks for the dedicated beach chairs and umbrella that came with this unit… a much appreciated bonus! We are about to book our next vacation here as soon as I post this review! Thank you for sharing your home with us!
We cannot say enough good things about our stay at Gulfcrest Condos, Unit 603! Everything about this unit was perfect, the view, the comfy bed, the decor, the cleanliness and the list goes on and on. We have never felt so comfortable in a vacation rental; we are so grateful to the owners for sharing their home away from home with us. This was our first vacation alone in almost 25 years and we could not have asked for a better spot to just relax and enjoy each other's company.
