Spring Break Trip

We love Gulf Crest and have stayed in this building before. This condo was in a great location for our family and the views were great. The condo could use some regular maintenance and a bit better cleaning on the gorgeous patio and windows looking out at the view. We did enjoy our stay here and would look at staying here again in the future.

Very nice place to spend time with family. Only thing I found wrong was there was no ladder to get onto top bunk bed. We had fun. The location was great, away from the big crowds. Very secure place! I will be back next year.

I love Gulf Crest and stay there frequently. This was our first time staying in this unit and we will definitely do it again. Paula and her team were amazing!! The unit was lacking some essential kitchen supplies but Paula was on it and brought us everything that was requested. The room was clean and comfortable but tile floors are always hard to get super clean. The beds were very comfy and the kids raved that the bunk beds were too. The shower in the master bath was a plus too! Definitely a great stay and we will be back! Thank you Paula!

Paula was great! We drove through the night and were able to check-in early. The condo was clean and spacious. Gulf Crest is a great place for families with both older children (we had 3 high school seniors) and younger. Lots of activities within walking distance and a Wal-Mart too. Beach is gorgeous.

We so enjoyed our stay here and we will be back again! The place was comfortable, nice living room furniture with a comfortable pull out sofa bed, all the linens we needed. Close to the parking lot and close to the beach- since it’s only the 3rd floor. Beautiful view of the beach from here too. Paula was quick to respond and worked with us on our schedule and moving dates last minute due to weather. She was wonderful!

Beautiful condo in the perfect location. Didn’t have to fight for a spot in the beach. Had the option to rent chairs or bring our own tent. 2 pools so you could escape people you wanted to avoid. “Y’all know what i’m talking about.” If you have kids and want to get away from the Panama City crowd this is your place.

Perfect area for a beautiful view of the ocean and pool!

We love staying at Gulf Crest!! The pool area is always clean and security watches for safe playing for families with children. This condo unit was a perfect location. The kitchen does need some updating like the stove is old so the cooktop burners either cooks too fast or too slow and the oven temp is off too. The laundry dryer is set to shut off every 57 seconds with no notes to get clothes dry. The floors could have been cleaner upon arrival. Other than these few things...it was a wonderful stay. We would stay again.

1st Family Vacation

We have stayed at many condos at Gulfcrest and love the location. Unfortunately, we were not as impressed with this specific condo. Upon arrival, there was dirty laundry left out, food wrappers in the floor, dirty dishes in the dishwasher, & overall very runned down. The paint on the walls has numerous patches not finished, scuffed, or peeling. I had trouble getting in contact with the host and either got very delayed responses or no response at all. Our family enjoyed our family vacation but we’re disappointed in the quality of room we got.
