I welcome calls from potential and current guests before and during their stay, at any time, and as often as they wish. It is important to me to maintain strong communication and to respond to messages and calls immediately.

My husband and I consider it a pleasure to offer our condo for beach vacations. We go down several times a year to ensure that the place is maintained to a high standard. It’s very important to us that it is in good condition for each guest. I rely on my housekeeper to keep me informed of issues when she arrives to clean. I also encourage each guest to let me know me if something needs attention.

If you would like to make a reservation, you may do so by using the instant booking button. I will respond to you immediately (if its late in the evening or the middle of the night, I will respond in the morning). The first payment is due upon booking. The rental information and documents will be emailed to you shapely after booking using the email that you provide on vrbo.
If you are interested in my condo, but not ready to book it or have some questions, you may send me an inquiry through vrbo on my page.

UPDATE: THE HOT TUB OUTSIDE IS NOW OPEN AFTER RECENT APPROVAL BY THE HOA BOARD. IT WAS TEMPORARILY CLOSED DUE TO CDC GUIDELINES FOR COVID.

Please note: There may be a time when a short closure is needed for the pool or hot tub due to sanitary issues or repairs, although this is normally not a problem.

Excellent Spot, Wonderful Stay!

We’ve stayed in different spots along the panhandle for years, but have found our favorite!This unit is a great size -lots of space!- and is very nicely furnished & decorated. Furniture is comfortable. Kids loved that they each had a queen size bed. We didn’t use the provided beach gear but looked like it was in good condition. Appliances are updated. Kitchen had everything we needed and then some! Included beach chairs are such a bonus…the attendant assigned us a spot for the week, so nice to not fight for space!We were hesitant to be on the second floor because other places we’ve stayed were busier and noisier, but this was great. Enjoyed morning coffee and evening drinks on the balcony and didn’t feel like it was too close to the pool deck or hot tub. And being just one flight up made for quick, easy access to the pool and beach! If our travels bring us back to this area, we’ll definitely return to this spot!

Wonderful Condo

We loved this condo, from the views to easy access to beach, pool, tiki bar, walking distance to my favorite place Gypsea Crepes. Very clean, spacious, clutter free, comfortable beds, and my favorite part the balcony and lounging chairs, I loved them, very comfy and relaxing. We spent time in the balcony every night feeling the cool breeze with the best view of the moon. Enjoyed the beach service and the additional chairs and umbrella provided by the host. Ms. Jeannette was a super host! she responded quick to all of my questions. By far the best condo we’ve stayed in PCB. Definitely coming back! Thank you for having us.

An amazing unit in the perfect location!

We loved our stay in this unit! It was incredibly clean and spacious. There was a fully-stocked kitchen with nice appliances, big beds in both bedrooms, beautiful bathrooms, and amazing views of the beach! The balcony had plenty of seating and a great table where we enjoyed many meals. We loved the ease of accessibility to the pool and beach. Parking was easy and the condo itself was located close to many great restaurants and shops. I can’t say enough great things!

Wonderful Condo

We had a great vacation staying in this wonderful 2nd floor condo. Everything was nice and updated the master bath was just awesome. Beautiful views and on the best and least busy part of Panama Beach. The owner was very easy to work with and couldn't have been better. Thank you for letting us stay in your great condo and sorry it me so long to write this review.

Comforts of home but, beach side!

We opened the door to this amazing beach condo and were immediately impressed!!! We knew at this point that we were at our home away from home!!! Beautiful, updated decor made it nice to even be in the unit not just the beach!!! The 2nd floor unit was convenient for walking to the pool or of course taking the elevator! We look forward to our next visit there!!!!!

The condo was clean, huge, and spacious, as was the balcony with an amazing view of the gulf and great outdoor furniture for everyone. The Kitchen was gorgeous with granite counters, stainless appliances and a large island. The main living space was huge! We had a wonderful time and Jeannette was great to work with. And the beach chaise set was included every day, such a great perk!! I recommend this condo to anyone and give it an A+. We will be back!

Great Place-Better Owners

This unit is the nicest unit my family has ever had the pleasure of staying in while at PCB. The view off of the balcony is simply amazing. Unfortunately our stay was cut short by a mechanical fire which forced the evacuation of the entire building. Ms. Lougee could not have been nicer in trying to help us find another place to stay and working out a refund for our canceled trip. My family will definitely be back to this unit. If you are looking for a great unit in PCB with an even better owner-this is it!!

Best Experience!

We just enjoyed a week at this incredible condo on Fall Break! Last year during Fall Break we stayed on the other end of Panama City across from Pier Park and this year decided to try on down for a quieter experience. It exceeded our expectations! The condo is extremely nice and we loved being on the second floor with small children. The complex is very clean and well taken care of. The owner Jeanette was INCREDIBLE! She answered all our questions and made sure that we had everything we needed throughout our stay. I have rented through HomeAway several times throughout the years for different locations we have visited and have never had the wonderful experience from an owner that I have had with Jeanette!

Hard to beat!!!!!!

The condo unit was wonderful. The views where great, 38 ft. of balconie Wow. The complex was really well maintained, great staff. If you prefer to be higher this is not the place. But for us this was perfect. We could walk up and down the stairs with ease, not waiting for the elevator, unless we needed it. Jeanette was great, made everything easy. Know complaints.This was just my wife and I, but could handle 4 or more. Loved it.

About the host

Why they chose this property

My husband John and I bought Watercrest 208 in January 2014 with the understanding that we would need to do a full renovation. We purchased Watercrest because wanted a condo in a small condo complex located in the quiet end of the beach on Thomas Drive. The renovation took almost 3 months, but the result was worth the wait. John and I had so much fun working together to plan and
complete the decorating project. We hope that our guests will be pleased the look and feel of the condo!
