Perfect vacation spot

I can’t say enough about the property management company and the ease of renting this property. They were very accommodating. The condo is in a great central location- short walk to the Watercolor resort and Seaside.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view from the deck is beautiful. It's very nice to have a more private pool just a few steps away. Unfortunately, the house was not very clean upon arrival- particularly countertops, tabletops, windows, floors, and sitting surfaces. The hot water heater is not sufficient for the unit. Showers had to be planned and staggered to avoid cold showers.

Great location and beautiful space

This unit fit our family wonderfully with my in laws, plus our college kids with their friends, and our tween. Enough space for us all. It’s a great location within walking distance to restaurants and shops and the pools. While the sand dune is beautiful that is my only thumbs down, was to not be able to actually see the beach from the unit. You can most definitely hear the waves and see a little bit of water from the balcony but no beach view. The watercolor area is a great place and the unit provided four bikes to explore which we took advantage of. We will be back.

Beachside #5 condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: One matter of concern. The night before we departed I saw 2 large cockroaches on the kitchen floor about 1 inch in length. Very disturbing. I also had about 5 bug bites on my leg, three of which were in a straight line on my left thigh. This made me wonder if there might be bed bugs. We had a wonderful vacation, but concerned about these issues.

Location is the best

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at Watercolor Beachside 5.The condo (practically a house) was comfortable with all the amenities we needed. The location was amazing so quick to walk into Seaside. The views are beautiful. Appliances all worked well. We were 4 adults and 3 kids with ample space. Community pool was warm and so close. Thanks for a great stay. Only critique was regarding brief (ONLY 20 min) delay entry into the property. We know staffing is tough these days, but had frozen items when we arrived at 5 PM.

Watercolor Fall Break

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the townhouse. It was centrally locates and well appointed. My only slightly negative comment, which the owners cannot help, is that you cannot see the beach because of the dunes. You’re view is completely blocked. My other note is that the elevator for the wheelchair is outside, so to get from the downstairs bedroom to the upstairs living space in a wheelchair, you have to go outside and come through the garage. It worked fine but when we arrived I couldn’t find the elevator in the unit and we panicked before discovering the community elevator outside.

Good getaway, large space.

Nice place. Very clean. Access to beach is superb. Has a decent view of beach from 2nd floor balcony. Lots of utensils. Nice bedding. Plenty of bath towels. We enjoyed the layout. We were contacted by the Mgmt company for repairs that we did not schedule (bed slats broken and door lock repairs). And though scheduled (interrupting us) neither appointment was kept and we were left ghosted by the repairman. Didn’t bother us much, but as others mentioned, there are no beach towels, nor beach gear. The water wash off for the beach is at the pool. And, the Wifi was bismal during our stay. Some of the patio furniture needs a little TLC. For a week stay, they could offer a little bit more for soap, paper products, etc. For the premium price, there are better stays in Watercolor. 3.5

Good but could have been a lot cleaner

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the most beautiful and yet DISGUSTING property i have ever rented. I have been traveling and renting condos for close to 40 years. This was the most gross and disgusting property I’ve ever been to. If you wereCovid cleaning all the handles etc there would be be a ring of hunk around every light switch and cabinet/drawer handle in the place. I would not give current housekeeping a hard time. This is years and years of disgusting funk splattered On the walls and everywhere else built up. This place needs a deep deep cleaning. It also needs a new air conditioning system. We loved spending over $7,800 and sweating to death in the 75 degree air every night. Absolutely insane. Also get a new keypad. It’s broken and not fun to be locked out with little ones. Beautiful location and easy access to the beach and 30A. Beach was right out the door. We loved watercolor.

Poor Management and Not Well Equipped

You are required to download an app to get simple information for the property. A single email would have sufficed. Check-in: 5:00 PM check in sucks out loud. When we did get the code, two of the three doors did not function. One was deadbolted from the inside and the other completely inoperable. It took us some time to locate the third door by the parking spot to finally gain access. We alerted the management company the day of check in, and they did not send anyone until we called again two days later. Overall, check in was a cluster. The property was as described, clean but minimally equipped. NO BEACH TOWELS - the VBRO listing says towels are included, only to get a last minute text to bring your own! The property includes the bare minimum of bathroom towels for the number of people the beds accommodate - no service for our almost week long stay. The bathrooms have no mats, so you are burning towels just to have something to step on out of the shower. For the price and length of stay, ONE roll of paper towels, a few trash bags and only two rolls of low-rent toilet paper per restroom were inadequate. Bottom line, we didn't expect to spend a few hours of our vaca getting basic supplies for us and our guests. I really wish I could rate our stay higher, I do, the location and property were perfect for our mission. The terrible check in, lack of basic supplies, and count down texts for the early check out made us wish we chose differently. I recommend the property owner reassess the management company and amenities provided to your high-valued guests. I wish I could say for the property, we will be back, but we will not. Looking at different options for next year.
