Beautiful House

The house was beautiful and perfectly suited for our families!! Loved having the pool! And the security of the alarm for back door. Enjoyed the covered front & back porches and nice neighborhood. The house was very clean and all of the beds were comfortable & kids loved the bunk room and little closet rooms off the bunk area. Bathrooms were beautiful and liked having tubs & showers. Kitchen was a great size, only thing missing were scissors which would’ve been handy. And great space for dining :) The ONLY thing that would’ve made this even better would’ve been a golf cart to come with the property. We called late about booking a golf cart since it didn’t come with one and only got to use it for a few days of our stay. Still would give it a 5 of 5 🤩

Grand Vacation

We really liked the house and the pool. Disappointed in the bicycle maintenance. The man came on the 3 rd day and was rude and didn't service all the bikes like i had asked. One of our group had to push a bike all the way back from town. Also spa never worked .... overall we were pleased!!

The house is very noisy.

People walking up or down the stairs, or walking around upstairs is very noisy downstairs. If you are trying to sleep downstairs you can hear every step. I have always had a downstairs bedroom, with teenagers upstairs, and this was the first house with a noise problem, which was disappointing because it was the most expensive, and smallest.

Pool & hot tub

The house was absolutely beautiful. It was very clean and well appointed with everything we needed. The backyard area was private surrounded by beautiful trees. We used the pool every afternoon after visiting the ocean and the hot tub in the evenings. We would definitely stay at this lovely home again.

Nice little place

Had a lovely time here. The house needs some paint in spots, and there were some extremely minor maintenance issues, but I was made aware those were scheduled for repair soon. Overall, a very relaxing and enjoyable stay…would definitely book again.

Least favorite

We’ve stayed in Watercolor many times and this house was by far our least favorite. The smoke/heat alarm would go off every time we cooked ANYTHING. When maintenance came they had to take the whole thing off because it would not stop beeping. So we spent the rest of the trip with no smoke or heat detector. The pool alarm deactivate button on the outside of the door was broken so every time we entered the house the alarm would go off and we had to deactivate it from the outside. The downstairs master bedroom closet was missing a door handle. The house is equipped with a Sonos but there were no instructions on how to operate it. Anything we watched on the screen downstairs played in the speakers in the upstairs master - again no instructions on how to operate that either. The cooking it utensils were a mess - some were broken. We pushed a sofa back a few inches for a better view of the television and the dust and dirt that was under the sofa was shocking. The places where the walls were touched up were very visible but really the entire place needs a new coat of paint. Furthermore, we messaged several times and waited outside for the property manager to give us the “ok” to go in but no response was ever received. Eventually we just went in. And when we checked out it was via text and we received no response to that either. A few of the owner’s cabinets and closets were also left open by the cleaning crew. All of our prior stays in Watercolor far exceeded this home’s rating for us.

Watercolor Stay

The heated pool was a great addition to a the house! The only issue is that it seemed to be in some sort of transition and was very stark with virtually nothing on the walls. It didn’t feel cozy like a home, obviously a rental house vs other places we have stayed in Watercolor.

Great getaway!!

We had a fantastic stay at Royal Fern. We had plenty of room for the kids and family to feel rested. The pool was wonderful- it was a bit messy from a tropical storm but dune sent someone over same day to get it cleaned up and ready for us. We enjoyed all of the Watercolor amenities (camp watercolor & beach club) everything was so kid friendly, clean and wonderful. Having the first floor king with a full bath was perfect for grandparents who came with us. We would definitely stay here again!!

We greatly enjoyed our stay! The home was beautiful and well equipped.

Beautiful home and great location

However, outside furniture was damaged, worn, and cushions faded and molded. Dishwasher wouldn’t clean dishes. Outdoor grill is about to collapse. Housekeeping had not dust mopped under the beds. I’d stay here again but as a property owner myself...some things needed updating and repair.

Lovely home, great for a family

We loved our visit to watercolor. This home is lovely and the pool/hot tub are great. This was our first time travelling with our youngest out of a crib, and the little side room off the bunk room was perfect to give him a dark quiet space. Management company was helpful and responsive.

Decent home. Clean. Pool wasn’t clean when we arrived. Street was busy

We have owned a house in Watercolor and rented for years. This house is a decent property but I would probably choose elsewhere. It was clean. The outside area needs some work with outside lights, light in hot tub wasn’t working so it was very dark at night. I bought some outdoor candles so we could see. And the pool was dirty when we arrived. The grill was dirty. They had just fixed the HVAC when we arrived. Overall it met our needs but since we know the area, I would choose another home.
