Great home!

We truly enjoyed our stay on Blue Stem lane. The layout of the house is perfect for families and the golf cart was definitely a plus. The beach is a hike but manageable with the golf cart. The proximity to Camp Watercolor was also a plus. This was our first time staying in watercolor (we normally stay in Rosemary) and we will definitely be back.

A gorgeous home well supplied with kitchen essentials, and pool toys. Better yet, the communication with the host was superlative, the best I’ve encountered. The house was spotless and so comfortable and relaxing. Looking at the map it seems the house is farther than most from the beach club, but the bike trail gets you there or back in minutes. Grab this one if its available and you’ll be glad you did!

Incredible Beach House

We have stayed in Watercolor a few times and this was hands down the best house we have ever stayed in. The kids loved the upstairs game area and bunk beds. Adults loved the kitchen and front porch. We are already planning our next trip and hoping to stay even longer. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

Awesome home!

The property was immaculate with many extras (normal size dish soap and laundry detergent, extra rolls of paper towels and toilet paper, beach chairs, ice chests, etc) that were much appreciated! The location was not far from our normal spots, but it was not as bikeable as we have grown accustomed to in years past. Also, we used the grill quite a bit, but had to eat inside because there was no table outside. These two comments were small things in the scheme of things. We would consider staying here again for sure!

Outstanding property and experience!

Property was beautiful, at least as nice as pictured. Also has everything you need for a great experience—towels, beach chairs and umbrella, bikes, and golf cart. Great selection of pots, pans, glasses etc as well in the kitchen. Property manager was super responsive when we had a couple minor issues come up, getting someone on site to help resolve in a few hours. By far the best rental we have ever stayed at - fantastic overall experience. Hope to be back in the future!

Best house in Watercolor yet!

We have been renting houses in Watercolor for over 10 years and this house was the best one yet. It is beautifully decorated and well appointed. The owners have thought of everything that guests might need or want for their stay. The house was very clean and the management company was so prompt in answering any questions we had, both before and during our stay. The location is excellent--a quick bike ride or walk over the bridge to the beach. The golf cart and pool were added luxuries. We have only the highest reviews for this property!

One of the best

Clean, comfortable, well-situated, perfect for families. Our only frustrations were the overly complex tv and lighting controls. We felt like we needed a week’s training course at MIT before our visit. Some towel racks in the bathrooms would have been nice as well. We loved having use of the golf cart but could have used some more bikes. Overall, a great property.
