Beach Perfection!
We had the most perfect week at Tina’s condo. The Gulfcrest complex was excellent. Extremely clean grounds, pools were sparkling, hot tubs great, Tiki Hut had great food and drinks. Beach service was wonderful. The location is incredible with fast access to restaurants, groceries, activities and shopping. Many places you can walk to, which we enjoy. The condominium was spotless and offered every amenity. The furnishings lend perfectly to the relaxing vacation ambience. So many spots to chill and enjoy the view from many sides. We loved sitting on the front balcony at night and watch all the activity. Beach side balcony had perfect views and gorgeous sunsets. We couldn’t have asked for a better week at the beach. We will definitely book again.

Perfect Location
The condo was very pretty. We loved the wrap around deck and all the open windows with the ocean view. There were plenty of bed linens and towels, it was very spacious, and within walking distance to restaurants, beach shops, and the go carts across the street. The owners had everything we needed in the condo for a comfortable stay.

Roomy condo
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the three bedroom, two bath condo on the 14th floor. The views are great of the ocean. Everything was clean and tidy upon arrival. We did not lack anything in the condo in the kitchen or the bathroom. Tina was easy to contact when the code for the door didn't work... Turns out we were 20 minutes too early, but it was adjusted promptly and we got in right away!

Beautiful condo!
We really enjoyed our stay in the Gulf Crest 1401 unit. It was beautifully furnished, clean, and conveniently located. The bed was comfortable and rooms were spacious. The fact that items such as spices, coffee, and other basics left by previous tenants were there for our use was great! Thank you for a great week at the beach.

Review of Confo
Most beautiful view of the ocean we have ever had and we have been going twice a year to a beach for almost 40 years! If there was a fault and certainly we could live with it— the mattress cover and sheets did not fit the king size bed in MB and stayed wrinkled and wadded up as we slept on them. As I mentioned before those on street side complained of too much noise and disturbed sleep. We certainly would rent again. Beautiful condo and more good restaurants that we had days to eat in them We went to a different one every night! Thank you for your help at sort of the last minute. Covid keeps us not knowing what to do in many situations.

A Slice of Paradise
Beautiful beach. Superb balcony view. Comfortable stay.The condo is clean, tidy, and well-appointed. There is plenty of space for multiple families to stay comfortably. The kitchen is incredibly spacious and equipped with modern appliances. We ordered groceries that were delivered to the doorstep, simplifying the meal process and allowing for maximum beach/pool time.The view from the 14th floor balcony is spectacular. We were able to catch plenty of sunrises/sunsets and we’re able to enjoy a glass of wine once the kiddos were sleeping.The beach itself is lovely - sugar sand shores and beautiful gulf waves. Access is easy and direct from the pool area. There’s also an option to rent chairs/umbrellas.There are two large pools and two hot tubs. We never wanted for chairs alongside the pool and utilized the shaded picnic tables near the pool as a respite from the sun during midday.Lastly, after dealing with crowded elevators and long wait times at other high rise condos, I was pleasantly surprised to find the opposite at Gulf Crest.I can’t say enough about Tina’s Treasure@’d recommend it to anyone!

Great accommodations, minor repairs
We enjoyed our stay at Gulf Crest 1401 for the third year. The views are stunning and the condo is large for our group. The owner is great to work with and is very responsive. The combination lock to the main door had some periodic issues but other than a slight annoyance, it had little impact. Mid-stay, the kitchen sink wouldn't shut off completely and had a steady drip. These were reported after our stay and hopefully will be easily resolved. Some of the pots and pans probably need to be replaced but all of the necessities are provided. Overall, we would book again if returning to the same area.

A Wonderfully Relaxing Vacation
We loved our time in PCB! These were the best vacation beds we've ever experienced-each one was SO comfortable. The view from the balcony was simply amazing. We saw dolphins and skates and other sea creatures every day. During our stay the keypad on the door stopped working and the a/c started making some crazy noises. The owner responded immediately and both problems were fixed in record time. We would return for sure!

Second Stay
Great little unit and plenty of space to spread out. We stayed in 2017 and 2020 and a hurricane blew in with us both years. Despite that stunning display it was still a perfect time of year for a trip. Beautiful beach, tons of places to eat and the owner was on the spot with anything we needed.

Gorgeous Condo...A few mishaps
This was our second time staying in this condo and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo is beautiful and we love the location. We were notified prior to arriving that the washing machine was broken and would be repaired while we were there (it was fixed on Tuesday). We were satisfied with that. During our stay, the garbage disposal was not working, the inside door handle to the condo broke off, and the main bathroom faucet handle was leaking onto the sink counter. The door handle was reported immediately and was fixed within hours due to the owners quick action. These mishaps were minor and did not affect our overall vacation. We are confident the repairs will be made. The owner is great to work with and is prompt in responding. We look forward to future trips to PCB and another stay in this condo.

Absolutely fabulous!
Tina rescued us from a unit that truly would have made our stay miserable. We are so grateful. We were ready to just leave and go home when she came through for us. When we opened the door this beautiful light filled space greeted us with fabulous ocean views from every window in the main living area. Being an end unit the deck wraps around three sides! Where do I start? Tina was wonderful to work with. The unit is lovely and well equipped and we added a few things to enhance our stay and yours! It has everything you need right down to pool toys! I am a retired realtor and believe that if you are enjoying where you are you look after it like you would your own so there are some nice new outdoor cushions etc. Kitchen is excellent and such a pleasure to cook in as you look out at the water! Beds are excellent. The building is full of friendly people and many snowbirds. They have happy hour on Monday and Friday so it was a great chance to get to know people. Management of the building is excellent and they are cleaning all the time. Great location directly on the beach with pool hot tub and exercise room. When you are on the deck you feel like you are on a cruise ship as all you see is water ! Lots and lots of activities for families and children. Lots of great restaurants! Our favourites are Saltwater Grille. Runaway Island and Firefly. For breakfast Broken Egg and First Watch. You could not go wrong with this condo! If you come please live here gently and look after it because I will come back! It’s a gem! The sunsets have been magnificent ! Thanks Tina for everything! We would welcome you in Nova Scotia!!!!’

Amazing Vacation
We visited Panama City Beach for the first time and absolutely loved it! Our condo was beautiful and had everything we needed and more! The location was excellent, close to activities and restaurants! We really enjoyed our stay. Working with Tina for the condo rental was excellent too. She was responsive and easy to work with. A great perk was the combination door lock so we didnt have to worry about keys. The game room in the facility was under repair while we were there but that didn't really impact our stay. We can't wait to visit again next year!

Beautiful views, simple and spacious.
Loved the end unit, never heard traffic outside and we had a large group of party teens next door. Condo was very comfortable and spacious. Kitchen had everything we needed and then some. We have been coming to PCB for 10 years now and this was hands down my favorite room. Had my husband, myself, 3 of our children and 2 of their friends, and 2 grandchildren and never felt cramped or on top of anyone.

Amazing!!
We stayed at the Gulf Crest Condominium the last week of march. The condo was absolutely perfect. The layout, appliances, furniture and beds were nice and up to date. The view was absolutely stunning. No better view on PCB I am convinced. Tina made our week that much better by being organized and professional. I could text or email with any questions. I felt safe and confident staying with her, and we will be booking there again. It felt like my second home. Thank you for giving my family a week in paradise!

Tina's Treasure Is Truely A Treasure
Our family goes most every year so we have stayed in quite a few of the available condos. Tina's Treasure is one of the best we have stayed in. The unit is well layed out and family friendly as well as completely equipped, modern and clean. Having an assigned parking place was a definate plus and made going and coming a piece of cake. I was impressed with how secure the property is. There are codes to get on the property as well as to and from the beach and a security guard everyday at the pool area. With plenty of tables and chairs in the pool/hot tub area and having the beach chairs included with the rental (definate plus) it was easy to take advantage of both areas without any hassels. The snack bar in the pool area was great for reducing the number of trips upstairs when you have kids that seem to always be hungry or thirsty. One of the highlights for the kids was an on site visit from Gulf World. They came with a couple of their "critters" for a hands on up close experience. The location is perfect. Close to grocery stores, plenty of activities for kids near by and a lot of really good resturants. I recommend Dat Cajun, Mo's Barbeque and Hook'd for smaller low key type dining and Runaway Island, Pineapple Willy's and J Michaels if you don't mind larger crowds. We got fresh seafood for eating in at Shrimp City. Fresh, locally caught and they will steam and season your shrimp for you. A little pricey, but definately worth it. If you want to try parasailing ask for Capt. Marv. He and his crew were awsome. We had a fabulous time and if I had to find one thing that was a negative it would have to be that we had to leave. Thank you Tina for a wonderful vacation !!!

What an amazing trip! Our condo was in the perfect location. The beach wasn’t that crowded. We had 2 beach chairs with an umbrella ready every day. The hotel had 2 pools and 2 hot tubs which were cleaned daily. Our condo was very spacious and could accommodate more than 10 people (if needed). It was very clean and updated. It had everything we needed and more. I would definitely go back. Tina (owner) was very friendly and easy to work with.

July 4th at Gulf Crest 1401
Loved this condo! The corner unit has a great layout. Loved having the laundry room right when we walked in to store all of our beach gear. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Lots of pots and pans, cutting boards, pitchers, dishes, etc. The balcony was huge with great furniture. There was even furniture around by the other bedrooms on the front side of the unit. Being on the corner, we had a nice breeze most of the time. I loved how private it felt. We really enjoyed the speakers too! A very nice perk. The master closet was big and all closets had plenty of hangers and extra pillows and blankets. The kitchen was spacious and we loved all of the bar stools. Loved the keyless entry. Almost a must on my list. Makes things so much easier. The air conditioning cooled the condo quickly and kept it nice and comfortable. We’ve come to PCB during the July 4th week for years. This was the best fireworks we’ve seen. Almost 2 hours of beautiful fireworks on each side of you! Another perk was a DJ played all day on the 4th at the Tiki Bar which made it a really fun atmosphere. We didn’t use sofa bed but the beds were comfortable. Trying to think of complaint but really can’t. Check in day wasn’t great. The elevators were out in the garage and the main elevators were so overwhelmed the wait was forever. But check in day is always hectic. After that the elevators were fast. No problems at all. Simple check in at front desk. We usually stay closer to Pier Park but liked this much better. Parking was more convenient and everything we needed was close. It didn’t hurt that we had perfect beach conditions. The water looked like a swimming pool all week. Super clear. Not one bit of seaweed. Just beautiful.
