Panama City Beach is beautiful. The views from the condo were amazing! The condo was well equipped with what we needed for our stay. However it was somewhat dated and needed some minor repairs.

I was so pleased with this property. It had such a wonderful view with the balcony on three sides. I loved all of the windows in the condo. Our family had a wonderful vacation and I would love to return to this condo.

This condo is nice and would stay here again. The guest toilet had a leak but was fixed promptly. The guest tub may need the drained cleaned because it seemed to be backing up. The main bath could use another set of wash clothes and towels. Also could not locate any pot holders in the kitchen so had to fold kitchen towel to get pans from oven. Since it was a family trip, we did cook but the room had all necessary items you’d need.

Had a family group of 6 stay here the week before Memorial Day. 2 las of 2023, 3 adults and a 16 year old. Everyone loved the condo unit and talked about staying here again. Condo isn’t the newest, but was in great shape with all amenities working. We would love to be guests of the Masons again in the future.

Except for the fact there were only 3 chairs on the balcony, this condo had everything we needed. It was clean and the furniture was in great shape. The kitchen provided all the things we required (although, the refrigerator door hinges need to be place on the other side). If a more complete set of furniture were on the balcony, we would rent this unit again.

Our family has been vacationing in PCB for 12 years, and this condo is by far the best we have stayed at. Just a few of the things we loved: *Plenty of space for our group of 10 *Large balcony with great views *Corner unit with lots of windows and natural light *Short trek to the beach with a ramp access, so no stairs to haul a heavy wagon up and down. *Short wait times, if any wait time at all, at the elevator. We have stayed other places, that had 40 minute waits. *Corner unit allows space by the door to leave sandy shoes and smaller sand toys outside to try to keep some sand out of the unit. *Clean. The unit and Gulf Crest as a whole were clean. *The staff was friendly. *Pools were spacious and well maintained. *Parking garage was easily accessible and easy to navigate. *Owners were quick to respond to any question I had.

What a great experience in this 3 bedroom corner condo! Everything was just as described and check in was a breeze. Condo has plenty of room and everything you need. My favorite was the wrap around balcony - amazing sunsets from this 8th floor unit! I cannot wait to come back to this condo for our next vacation. I did not want to leave!

We stayed at this property a few years ago, and fell in love with the end unit being able to look down the beach while cooking (breakfast, lunch, & dinner). The owner had since then replaced the carpets in the living/bedrooms. I have mixed feelings about the cold floors, but way easier to clean, also nothing a pair of house shoes won't fix. The bunk nook is great for kids of all ages. The bed room with the two twin beds can work for or against your stay, so plan accordingly for sleeping arrangements. Meaning, if you have three couples staying with you, and they wish to snuggle with each other, one couple will need to be on the pull out couch. :) The condo was very clean for our stay, Bravo to the cleaning crew. The soap bottles at each sink was appreciated as well. Like all rentals, there were several small issues, but nothing that would dampen the trip. The patio door wouldn't lock, but they are so heavy, that we didn't have to worry about smaller children opening them. And if the door isn't closed all the way, during a windy day, it will make a constant "farting" noise, which can add to excitement and entertainment for young, children (and older men) at 6:00 am. The owner was very easy to work with and communicated well with any questions or concerns we have. We had a few questions and concerns, and at no point did we get an impression that we were "bugging" them. As for the kitchen supplies, you shouldn't have a need for anything, other than a whisk. A whisk was the only thing that it was lacking, and that is saying something as much as my family likes to cook on vacation. Also, a bonus to keep in mind for future trips, a condo with a good coffee maker is key, and they had a great one. That also, the fact that they had two coffee pots, which allowed us to make a pot of Decaf (for the ladies) and Full Strength (for the kids and men). The stove even had a warm setting on the back eye to keep it warm during the morning while everyone was waking up. We certainly enjoyed the stay and look forward to returning.

This is our second year staying at Gulf Crest and enjoyed it again just as much! The location is perfect...far enough away from the traffic but close enough to get out and go to Pier Park several times a week if we choose too! Already looking forward to going next year!
