Clean and Modern

The Watercrest building is in a great location close to Saint Andrews State Park. The elevators in the building are speedy, which is rare. The unit was clean and modern. The bedrooms were spacious and the kitchen had all the needed equipment for cooking, although there were no staples. The laundry machines were modern and worked great.

Very clean and nice. Beds super comfortable, futons in the living room comfortable with toppers. Great beach/ocean view from balcony over looking the pool with beach access. If you plan to cook a lot the oven is very slow heating and not a lot cooking utensils/sharp knives. Over all loved this condo!

Family Spring Break Trip

My family of 6 stayed at this condo and we all enjoyed our trip so much and had such a great vacation! The condo was beautiful and we were all so comfortable and had everything we needed. The beach access was amazing and we loved being able to view the beach from our huge patio! Due to the weather, the beach was not as warm, so we decided to use the pool and it was nice to have an alternative for the kids. Nice clean big pool and the water was a nice temperature.
