Great location for all things Watercolor

The house was just the right size for our group. It’s about a 5-minute walk from the beach club and the same from the boat house. You can bike up to Publix and get into Seaside easily, too! Highly recommend.

Great house & great location!

The house was exactly as it looked online. The location is a walk/really short bike ride to Seaside and Watercolor beach. We had 2 families of 5, and there was plenty of room. The communication with Shelly about the house was easy, and very responsive. I would stay here again!

Perfect for Our Family

Shelly's place was perfect for our group of family and friends on spring break. We had a total of 8 - 4 teens and 4 adults. Close walking and biking distance to Seaside and Watercolor beaches and town centers. House was beautiful with everything we needed and Shelly and Deanne were very responsive if we had a question or needed anything. We would definitely rent again!

House was fine. Needs some refurbishment. Strong fish smell when we checked in after being cleaned. I am sure given its location and size it gets lots of use and it shows. Watercolor is great spot for any family vacation.

Great property, technology aspect not so much.

Property was great! Internet and tv service was terrible. The men wanted to watch several football games during the weekend and we just had to cut them off because of the glitchy tv. We also had to unconnected our phones from Wi-Fi because nothing would load. Other than those two issues, the stay was fantastic!

Summer vacation 2022

Location was great with easy access to all the pools and beach club. Overall house was comfortable with plenty of space for 10 of us. While the location of the house is nice it is on the busy street with roads three side of the proposers, it can be a little loud at night. The listing notes bikes but we did not get those and the owner ghosted us until the last night there regarding other minor issues. Would also recommend renting a golf cart in advance along with confirming bikes. Tram service was nice but it was down for portions of the stay. We would consider staying here again as overall it was an enjoyable stay.

Comfortable house for large family

The living space was lovely and well decorated. The house should have been better stocked with basics for a vrbo listing. We as renters had to go purchase bath soap as it wasn’t supplied in any of the bathrooms, nor was extra toilet paper. There was no broom to clean the floor, could have used more tall garbage bags for the kitchen, the WiFi was spotty with the incorrect password provided and the television was pixilated which made it difficult to watch.

Annual Girls' Trip

The property is truly amazing. It is so convenient to the beach club, restaurants and shopping. It is beautifully decorated and exactly as pictured. We had just a few small issues I would like the owner to be aware of. We couldn't lock the carriage house when we left each day in order to secure our belongings, and if you arrive on Sunday, you have to go Monday to pick up your wristbands yourself. We were notified of this but not sure where to go to do that. It seems like they could have been picked up on Saturday and left for us. We finally figured it out. These were very small issues, and definitely not deal breakers. We loved the house and would definitely stay there again.

Perfect location for family beach trip!

This house is not only stunning, but in an amazing location!!! Our large family stayed here this year for our family vacation and could not have been more pleased. The house is so well put together and maintained and had plenty of space for all of us. The guest house added great space as well. The kitchen is a little small for the size of the house, but we still cooked/ate most of our meals in the house. It is a short walk to the beach and a short walk into seaside town center— our family walked into seaside every morning for coffee and pastries. The only downside was the new watercolor beach club was suppose to be open by our stay (Memorial Day 2019) but we didn’t find out it wasn’t completed until we arrived. But we went to the camp watercolor pool, which all the kids loved but it’s not as close to the house. There is a complimentary golf cart shuttle that will pick you up and take you to/from the pool which was nice When the beach club does opens, you really won’t be able to beat this house and it’s size/location. The property manager, DeAnne, was very responsive and helpful. Overall, it was a great experience and we would love to return!!

Pure Perfection!

This property was even better than we imagined! We had 3 families fit comfortably in this stunning home and the included carriage house. It has all the bells and whistles with attention to detail and all of the conveniences of home. The location is perfectly situated close to Watercolor Beach Club, The Lake House, and Camp Watercolor. We enjoyed lovely walks to Cerulean Park and the kids got their ice cream fix at The Candy Bar. We had a perfect week decompressing and enjoying much needed family time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home, and we will definitely be back!

Why they chose this property

This is our Happy Place!!! From the first time we visited WC, we fell in love with it's the tranquil beauty. Having the beautiful white sandy beaches in the front of Watercolor and the photographic scenery of the lake and its landscape in the middle makes Watercolor such a special place. The house is beautiful inside and out, so comfy & in the perfect location. It's full of some of our best memories!! We
welcome you and your family to borrow our home, experience Watercolor and make some of your own favorite memories too!!

What makes this property unique

The location of the house is one of the top reasons to stay here~it's one of the main reasons we purchased the home. Not only is it located in the front of the resort, Phase 1, so it's literally a few blocks from the beach, but it sits on one of the largest lots, on a corner, so the openness of the lot and the convenience of the house to everything; both the beach/Watercolor Beach Club & Seaside (there is a main cut thru to Seaside adjacent to the house), Marina Park, and Western Lake~ Also, the
biking/walking trails are just across the street, all which make it truly a unique location! The full size bed swing on the far end of front porch is also a favorite :)
