We loved the property. Plenty of space for everyone. It had very comfortable beds and furniture. We enjoyed the plunge pool too. The golf cart was so handy for getting around the amenities of Watercolor and Seaside. The location was perfect. We would be happy to stay here again!

Amenities and all
We absolutely loved our stay. From the moment we walked in the accommodations for two families exceeded our expectations. They had everything from boogie boards to beach, chairs, and umbrellas. We were even able to grill out. The icemaker came in so handy as well as the extra beverage refrigerator.

As advertised! Great location. Management Company was on top of everything!
Great stay for the thanksgiving holiday. We own a house around the corner and needed a second place for extended family. Beach Habitat was excellent to work with and house was in great condition.
