Definitely Not the Gold Standard

The interior space, decor, and location this home provided were very nice for a family of 10. However, the elevator was not working when we arrived on Sunday—an amenity we needed since two members of our family had impaired mobility, and we noticed that many of the kitchen utensils had been put away greasy and dirty. After calls to the property manager every day, the elevator was repaired on Thursday afternoon, but we were required to leave the beach and come back to the house and wait on the service man for three hours. The largest problem became apparent on Thursday morning when fleas were found in the second floor MBR and adjoining bunk room. We had NO pet with us. Management did come and set off a flea bomb. We requested maid service to come later and clean the rooms and bath connecting them and change the linens since there were fleas in the beds, which they did. Much to our chagrin there were still active live fleas that night and all the way until we checked out Sunday morning. When we called on Friday, we were told it just takes time to kill them—which may be true, however, 5 people had to move to other rooms. This rendered 2 of the BR’s and the only bathtub upstairs unusable for the last 3 of our 7 day stay. Management has yet to respond to our phone call or letter asking to resolve this issue, and of course the full rental price has been charged on our Visa. We have vacationed in Watercolor 5 times staying in 4 different homes, and never had issues like this before.

Gorgeous retreat

This is one of the most gorgeous places I have stayed in! It was in a perfect location to walk to Watercolor Beach Club. Plenty of room for 14 of us. It had everything we needed to cook or grill. I will definitely stay here again!

Stunning property, exactly what we needed

Gorgeous location adjacent to the lake and walking trail. We loved all of the comfortable outdoor spaces on every level of the home. There is enough space for a larger party to enjoy being together and equally as many opportunities to escape for some alone time. Perfect vacation spot, quiet, family oriented, spacious, and very luxe!
