We had an amazing stay. No problems at all. The guy was very communicative the whole time before the trip answering any question we had! 10/10 recommend staying here if you go to pcb lovely place and beach front view!
We had 9 friends staying and the condo was very spacious. Check in was easy. Location was great. Beautiful view in the morning, with wrap around balcony. Will definitely stay here again
Our stay with GulfCrest was nothing short of amazing. The views were breath taking, with more fun than we expected! We will definitely be coming back. Our 5 children ages 2 up to 7 were in heaven with our week at Gulf Crest and the smiles on their faces for the week could never be forgotten or replaced!
This condo is absolutely stunning! The view is out of this world! The condo was very clean and had everything you could need. Including beach toys, chairs, etc. it was in the perfect location. A short drive to anywhere you would need to go. Everyone was so polite. We felt very safe here and will definitely be returning!
We have stayed at Gulf Crest now for the last 5 years and couldnt be happier with them. The location is perfect. The view is unbelievable. We wouldnt stay anywhere else. We already have another vacation booked at Gulf Crest for September and cant wait.

Very nice and spacious condo.
We loved our stay here! The location is such a hidden gem! It is right on the beach, every room has a balcony, and the windows are amazing. The balcony wraps around the building and gives you a full view of PCB. You will have a whole view of the ocean from the kitchen. The photos don't do it justice. The pools and hottubs were perfect and cleaned every morning. We would LOVE to go back! My only suggestion is to bring your own paper products and household supplies. We needed things like paper plates, plasticware, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, hand soap, oven mitts, kitchen sponges, laundry soap, dryer sheets.

Reviewer Comments:
The room was very nice and supplied good but when we arrived we had to clean the floors and toilets, they were both very nasty especially the toilets
The condo location was excellent with many restaurants and activities for teenagers to do within walking distance. Views were amazing. Plenty of room for 8 people plus other friends who stopped by for dinner. Only recommendation is to add some mirrors in the condo. The only mirrors were in both bathrooms. A mirror in the bedroom would be helpful when everyone is getting ready.
The condo was nice and spacious for our family. We had 8 total. Beautiful views. Beds were very comfortable for everyone. The bathrooms could use some updating and the cleaning service could do better. Floor was still dirty and the comforter in the master bedroom was dirty. Other than that it was a great place to stay. Parking was good (we drive 1 tons) and loved that it was gated. Super friendly staff. We will definitely be back.

Reviewer Comments:
The balcony is the best for watching the sparkling ocean. Like the separation of the master bedroom from the rest of the condo. The furniture needs replacing. The chairs by the kitchen bar are in bad shape. The sofa and chairs in living room need replacing also. Love the location and beach here. Pool area is very nice and easy access to beach. Kitchen is large with plenty of room. Overall a great experience.
The check in process was easy. The floor was gross. It turned our feet black very quickly. It needed to be mopped badly. The shower in the master bath drained extremely slow leaving water backed up when showering. That is so gross, especially in a rental property. The handles for both showers seemed as if they were going to fall off at any minute. There were no trash bags, no laundry detergent, dish detergent, extra toilet paper, or even hand soap in the condo. We had to go and buy all of that. There were about 4 coffee mugs total, which would’ve been okay if there was a way to wash them either by hand or in the dishwasher. There were 2 kitchen towels total (not enough for 7 people for 5 days at all). The location was great and the view is amazing, but not having simple things for guests makes it seem like the host didn’t really care about your experience.

Absolutely Beautiful....a review from last year talked about construction noises at 6am. Yet in the description not one mention of a 3 story home being built next door, Not one picture shows this at all...when you set down to eat all you see is silver roof blocking your view of the beach....All the beds were very comfortable but the living room couch and chairs were cheap and very uncomfortable...Overall great experience

10/10 on this place. The condo is super nice and spacious. Well equipped kitchen and a closet full of beach accessories. It was a super quiet facility with security present at all times. We loved everything about it and hope to return again next year to this exact same condo! If I had to make one complaint it would be that the sliding door to the balcony from the living room is quiet hard to open and was a hindrance to my elderly parents.

This is a fantastic condo for a family - beautiful views - enough space. Although we didn't need them the bunk beds were well built - the best I've seen. Only draw back to unit is no third bathroom - really needs at least a half bath. Gulf Crest Condos are located just in the right spot and the people in the office and security are wonderful even if you didn't rent from them.
