Beautiful unit and excellent for families! It was impeccably clean and had the best AC of any unit we have stayed in to date! Beds were very comfortable and updated master shower was great. Walking distance to many restaurants was a plus. All appliances in the kitchen worked and it was stocked with everything we needed. Although there are 23 floors, the elevators are incredibly fast. If you forget something in your unit you can go back up and down in less than 5 minutes. Worlds of difference than other places we have stayed where you spend a lot of your day waiting on elevators. View from the balcony never disappoints. Would definitely book again.

Great stay

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.

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!

Great family spot!

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.

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.
