Family vacation
We stayed at watercrest 1607 for 7 days. We were able to get into the room earlier than 4 which was awesome. Upon arrival everything seemed cleaned. The view was excellent the outdoor patio furniture was nice. On the down side the beds were very uncomfortable. The couch had an odor I could not sit on it. In the master bedroom on the right the comforter had a stain. The cleaners did not check the microwave because there was an old cup of coffee with cream left from previous guest. The furniture was out dated. Watercrest was nice overall. They kept the pool up. Overall we had a good stay. Probably would not be a repeat customer do to the condo comfortably.

Wonderful stay
This property surprised me and exceeded my expectations. I've paid substantially more for condos in the general area and this one was nicer. We were visiting during the height of spring break and this property was a hidden refuge away from all of that. Elevators were fast , never a long wait.

16th Floor Paradise
We had a very pleasant stay the Watercrest. It was quiet and we had plenty of room for our group of 6. It was a great location easy to get out of. We had all we needed. The balcony view was beautiful and we had plenty of seating for our group of 6. The condo had all we needed. We will be back.

Great Girls Trip w/hot water issues
The condo was as pictured/described. The view is wonderful! There were 7 of us and everything was very accomodating except the hot water. Not sure if the hot water heater was going out or what, and yes, there were 7 of us, girls, yes, but until the 3rd day, none of us, not one of us had had a decently warm shower. Communication with the condo owner and the maintenance manager was easy and great! All phone numbers are good with a quick response. The problem was acknowledged and fixed quickly. The cleaning expectations are a bit much when the cleaning fee is including in your stay. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Senior trip saved!
After a horrible experience with another host/booking site cancelled our booking the day before we left, this host saved our senior trip for me, my son and his friends. Everything was fantastic at the condo and the host was phenomenal!! We will definitely use them again.

Great Stay!
This was our last family vacation before our son and his family deployed to South Korea for two years. We had such a great time!
The condo had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The kids loved swimming in the pool and the hot tub. Thank you Sherry!

Excellent!!
Great sized unit and perfect location. The ocean view was stunning!’ Property management was very nice and responsive. They called to check in with us several times during our stay. One suggestion would be to update the mattress in the master BR-quite uncomfortable but everything else was great. We will be back!
