This was our second year in a row staying in this unit for spring break. We love the condo amenities & the unit itself is fantastic for families. We slept very comfortably & LOVE the fact that the unit was our home away from home for a week. With a full kitchen, we were able to cook all week. The living space is large enough to accommodate the entire family inside & out! The oversized balcony is perfect for kids to give them enough space to enjoy outside without being crammed or it feeling unsafe. Super glad we chose to stay here again!
The property was just steps to the beach. The condo had everything we needed for our stay including beach toys, chairs, floats, etc. The property was in close proximity to reataurants, groceries, activities and more.

Parking
Enjoyed the property. Was a snafu on the parking which was quickly resolved. Feel that the exorbitant fee for parking (2 vehicles) should have been disclosed prior to booking.

Wow!!! I can’t say enough great things about our condo at Watercrest! It wax absolutely stunning. There were so many little details that they made special. It was decorated absolutely gorgeous! A fully stocked kitchen. Some condos leave you 4 utensils, but they didn’t skimp on anything in this condo! The balcony was a big a room. I just can’t say enough great things about this condo. We’ve stayed in several and this was by far the best!!! Will definitely be getting this one again next Summer.
