Vacation 2024
The check in process was easy, the location was great, the room was beautiful with amazing views and the weather was perfect. However, the room was not the cleanest, the cookware was peeling, the patio table was filthy and all the chairs in bad shape with one completely broken. The hide a bed was sagging in the middle and very uncomfortable to sit on, but the worst was the beds, very hard and creaky and very uncomfortable. I would not recommend this room to friends.

I don’t think the owner knows or cares about his property. Location is good but the property is not really. Mold spots by one of the bathrooms, the front door was not really closing , tv didn’t work but the worst were the mattress. All 3 of them really really bad, uncomfortable to be on because of the spring noises. Overall we had fun because of the beach but we’re not going again in this condo.

The condo was spacious and had the best views!!! But it needs a good deep clean and the box springs or mattresses (not sure which it was) on all the beds need replacing. The slightest movement on all the beds had the most annoying noises. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay!!

The place was super nice and spacious, the communication and check in prior was easy. There were some sheets that weren’t the cleanest. The location is perfect with easy access to the beach. Overall, would stay there again and very pleased with our stay.

Amazing view
Pros: the wrap around balcony provides amazing views of the beach and lagoon side. The unit has a lot of room for a large family. Cons: the unit wasn't up to par in cleanliness when we arrived and we actually spent some time sweeping/moping the floor ourselves which isn't something you desire when arriving at your destination. The beds in the unit create a loud cracking sound when you get in and out of the beds. Water dispenser from the fridge didn't work

Not a great vacation
Condo was not clean when we arrived. Walking across the tile floor barefoot meant black dirty feet on everyone. No mop or broom in the condo. Dryer was broke when we arrived. We reported it on Sunday and it was not fixed until Thursday. Smoke detector started beeping on Tuesday and this was reported to maintenance, took them until Thursday to repair. Shower head in master bedroom was broke. We put a piece of cardboard in it to hold it in place to be able to take a shower. Previous tenants put dishes away dirty. We had to wash every dish before we used it. Kitchen sink had a water leak the previous week and smelled something awful. Would rent again in but not this unit.

Amazing view but horribly kept room
Love Gulf Crest. Have stayed there 4 different years but never this room again. Pros: View was AMAZING. Wrap around balcony with a beautiful Ocean View and a beautiful night time city view. Tiki Bar and workers were amazing. Room was short on Pots and pans to cook if that’s your thing but management was great on that issue lol and brought new. Cons: Room was filthy and there was shattered glass on the floor when we got there. Room floor was dirty enough that it was turning our feet black. Wore sandals in the room most of the time. All the dishes were dirty and disgusting. Found out why when we tried to do dishes all it did was flood water. Dryer was broken and didn’t dry clothes so pack extra if choosing to stay. Internet password was wrong and the contact information given was no help getting it working. Normally not an issue but we had 2 rainy days where it would of been nice to have internet to watch tv or for late at night since we are night owls until 2am or so (the main tv also had horrible burn across the tv) There was a new security guard that was getting on to kids for standing at the edge of the pool and jumping in. Not diving but jumping. When asked about it she said it was Florida Law that went into effect in 2022 that you can’t jump into a pool. When shown that law was for diving she insisted that diving and jumping were the same thing. All in all I love Gulf Crest and recommend it but do not recommend this room.

Very disappointed
Thinking that the amount if money paid to stay on the 23rd floor of the condo to which we have stayed for several years twice a year in different units. This init was the biggest disappointment of all. Floors were dirty,cobwebs on the ceiling,none of the 4 tvs works at all, the kitchen sink leaked with a pan to catch the water and smelled like mold,the guest bath sink dripped constantly. I reached out via email and by phone to edci property management. No response from email at all and when i called the lqdy said someone would be there to fix the tv issue the next day....no one ever stayed. I qm locql within 50 miles of PCB and would never recommend this company or this unit.

Cannot beat the views but the condo needs work.
My family and I travel a lot and have stayed in many different condos through Vrbo etc. This condo was definitely not up to par on what we are used to. First, ECDI charges YOU the credit card fee (if you choose to use one, so add that onto your total). When we arrived the check in process was relatively easy, but knowing where the parking spot was could have been easier. We ended up just parking on the top level to make things easier. When we got to the condo at first glance it’s beautiful. The only major difference is the couches are no longer the red leather (I would update the pics so people know). The master bathrooms toilet paper holder was broken when we got there. The mermaid room was missing the Roku. Be aware that there are a very limited amount of towels (no beach towels at all). The kitchen sink is not correctly mounted therefore it leaks. No cleaning supplies at ALL so if you spill anything or want to clean up after yourself bring some or go to Walmart. All of the beds creak anytime you move. Master armoire doesn’t have any hand pulls on drawers. Door on bunk beds was missing. Sand in drawers in mermaid room. No decent knives to cut fruit or even a cake with. I would not stay at this specific condo again but the Gulf Crest condo community areas was great!

Beware of Emerald Coast-ECDI
These are the issues we had upon arrival: Clothes dryer did not work, ice maker did not work, range door broken(will not close),3 bedroom TV's did not work , black mold and mildew in both bathrooms, bathroom stool loose(missing screws, wood shim holding in place), bathroom faucet leaking, all bed box springs worn out(squeaks every time you move), very dirty(large amounts of dust on cabinets, floor and ceiling). I reported these issues to Sarah on08/13 and she stated she would have someone out right away. Someone arrived that day and said he had to get parts and would be back to repair. Never saw him again. Another company came out on 08/16 and stated he would get parts and return. We checked out on 08/17. I called Sarah after we returned home and she said she would refer this to her manager. Her manager, Rebecca, contacted me via email on 08/31 stating she would like me to email her with the issues we had and that they would like to make situation right and try to fix this. I responded back to her on 08/31 with the information she requested. I did not her back from her so I sent her another email on 09/12. She replied on 09/14 stating to let her know if I would like to speak with her further to get this resolved. I have sent numerous emails and made many phone calls to Rebecca with no response. We went to the beach with no ice for our coolers, returned to wash our clothes and beach towels....no dryer, went to cook dinner...no oven, went to bed and could not move because of worn out box springs that squeak.....no sleep. This is not the vacation we were expecting. I ask Rebecca to at least have the courtesy to respond. I would be careful using ECDI, as they don't follow up or follow through. Also, be aware there is a bar right by the condo that plays loud thumping music all night long until 2:00-3:00am. This could be a nice condo if it was maintained. The views are excellent.
