    We had the best time at this beautiful home. Best location on the beach if you have teenagers as you are close to seaside but within the watercolor limits. This house was decorated gorgeous, super comfortable and had everything we needed. Only tip. If you are renting a golf cart make sure you get an extension cord because the power source is quite far. That is my only complaint. Will def come back to this home again if we get the chance!!!

    This home met all our needs. The main level is just lovely as it the master suite on the 3rd floor. We would have enjoyed a bit better view of the gulf but we managed just fine. The home was very well equipped with all we needed.

    This house was so beautiful and very comfortable. Everything needed was provided just as if you were home The beach was so beautiful and convenient. The beach chairs and umbrellas were there for us everyday which made it much easier for us to enjoy the beach with little ones. Being steps to the sand was wonderful! Would rent this home again in a heartbeat!

    The house improvements were great, however, some of the new appliances not completely installed; hopefully all will be ready for use next summer.

    This house was the absolute best. The location was perfect for our entire stay. It comes with 4 beach chairs & 2 umbrellas so NO NEED to rent from water color inn. We didn't need the golf cart from Electric Golf. We had 3 bikes that came with the house. Our host, April, was an amazing communicator. We will be back next year!

    The house was beautiful and a great location. We all could walk to the beach, shop, watercolor pools or dinner. We had breath taking views while we sat on the deck for coffee in the morning or dinner at night. Great house to relax and make new memories.

    If you’re paying this much, there is a certain level of service you expect to see. This house fell short on every occasion, including the fact that it was filthy. The floors were sandy and it smelled of smoke. The linens smelled sour and musty. The towels bars were falling off the walls and the kitchen amenities were old, dirty, and had flecks of Teflon coming off in the food. Aside from the general condition of the house we had two main issues. First, we picked Watercolor because we needed golf cart transportation for our son who can’t walk far due to neuropathy from chemo. A few weeks before the stay, AFTER we paid for the golf cart rental, the rental company sends an email saying not to rent a cart since there was no place to charge it. We were very disappointed since this was the entire reason we picked this house (8 months prior) and not the one in Seaside which had comfy outdoor furniture and was a better size for our family. I called the office and a rude manager basically told me I’d need to talk to someone else since it was the weekend, but that there was no way I could have a golf cart there. I was shamed for not contacting them before renting it. What?? After finally reaching the right person, I was told that he would make it work and call me back. He never did. I called again and finally was told we could bring a long extension cord and it would work. (The issue is that the house is behind another house and you can’t park close to the house. Be aware of you have mobility issues.) Our second major issue was the washing machine. On Monday, the second full day of our stay, we tossed in wet suits- after all it is the beach. The machine immediately threw an error code. We called maintenance and that began a 5 day back and forth argument with them about the condition of the washing machine. After dozens of calls and texts begging for it to be fixed, it was finally fixed on Friday night. 12 hours before checkout. What a disappointment. We needed that washing machine for suits, clothes, and towels. Again, a big reason why we chose a vacation rental and not a hotel. The property manager did come and get some of the laundry that we were desperate for AFTER three days of calling and insisting. To be honest, her attitude and willingness to help will keep us from ever renting from this company again. She acted as if she was so put out by our need for laundry. In addition, no one will do anything all to help you if it’s not business hours.

    Took the kids and grand baby to the beach and had a ball ! Sea Dream in Watercolor was the PERFECT place ! Great location right on the beach with beach access right next to the house. Easy walk to Seaside & Watercolor. We also enjoyed the Watercolor pools and restaurants. We had perfect weather! Our grand baby loved everything but bedtime :)
