Great condo. Loved the location and convenience offered by the Water Color community. Parking was close and easy. Only issue with the condo was the very poor TV reception, lack of access to standard cable channels, very difficult to navigate the channel applications and options. This needs to be addressed before we would stay there again.

Nice Property, Great Location!!

Found this great location gem several weeks before our last-minute trip to Watercolor. The location can't be beaten, overlooking the Beach Club, Beach Happy Cafe, and local shops/boutiques. Fairly quick walk to Seaside and 2 bikes were available for use. Definitely get a golf cart, as Uber/Lyft can be hard to come by in the area. Our condo fit 6 guests comfortably, and we had plenty of room. Great 5-day stay!!

Great Location

Condo is a little dated, but great location. You have to wedge the oven door shut to use it, they washer is extremely loud, and the tv is old and barely usable. You really can’t beat the location though- especially to the beach club. The rest of the condo was in great condition- just in need of a bit of repairs. Would stay again.

Perfect for a Family trip to Watercolor

There is so much to love about this place. You’re literally above a coffee shop which was so convenient for mornings. It is such a short walk to the beach access, the Beach Club pools ( with full bar and restaurant), and Fish Out of Water restaurant. You’re also super close to Seaside. The bedrooms are huge, and feels so much larger than just a 2 bedroom property. It was really perfect for our family. We are already trying to plan another trip to stay at this same property. I felt very comfortable having my 1 year old and 3 year old there.

Terrific stay

Great location, walked to the beach and the beach club. Enjoyed being close to everything in Watercolor and being so close to Seaside. Bikes that come with rental were in terrific shape - looked new. Adults and kids enjoyed the flexibility of riding bikes. Home was exactly as described, very comfortable and roomy for our family of four. Light above shower was out upon arrival and the mgmt had someone there within an hour.

The condo is very worn! Very poor communication

The condo interior needs to be repainted, it looks very worn. 2 holes in the ceiling of den, broken furniture and stained carpet. The washing machine is so loud that it can not be run while you are inside the condo. We had 2 communication issues. We were. not told where the bikes where outside the condo. I left a voicemail and sent an email, but did not hear back until the next day. There were bikes everywhere so there was no way to tell which bikes went with what condo. One afternoon we heard a knock on the door. It was a man saying he was there to replace a bathroom sink in the 2nd bedroom. We had never been told there was a problem with the sink or that anyone was coming to replace it. We received a text after he was already there that he was coming. I had 2 children taking afternoon naps. Last thing you want on vacation is someone in your rental with you especially during nap time!!

Excellent location!

Great location and the property was very spacious and comfortable. The property is well maintained with plenty of extra supplies for the beach too (chairs, etc). Only recommendations are that the back parking lot is very dark at night. They need more lighting. And the towels need a little upgrading. Only two wash cloths - and they were very worn. But a terrific property. We would rent again!
