First vacation with grands
We’ve had three grandchildren added in 18 months! We needed space and pool in back. This house had both. We also went to Beach Club and Kamp Watercolor so bracelets to get in were nice. We used the golf cart several times every day. The location of house makes it necessary to have a golf cart. I read another review suggesting taking extra napkins, paper towels, and dishwasher soap. We had enough dishwasher pods there, but I was glad I brought bath soap, paper towels and napkins. I did NOT bring extra toilet paper, and we ran out of that too! They only provide one roll per bathroom which isn’t enough for a couple staying a week.

We absolutely loved this house. We stayed with 7 adults and 2 kids under the age of 8. Everyone really enjoyed the pool and the screened in patio. The location was perfect and the golf cart was so great to have. We cannot wait to visit again.

Awesome stay in WaterColor
We really enjoyed the Emerald Tide home. The pool, golf cart and huge kitchen were the obvious highlights. The WaterColor Beach Club is a huge perk and makes you feel like you are staying at a resort. There was plenty of space for 3 families to spread out in the home. 2 of the 3 king beds were comfortable. The outdoor patio was also fantastic, although we wished the fans could move faster, as the weather was very hot and humid during our stay. One piece of advice: if you plan to cook you will have to bring everything, there were no spices or cooking oil available for use. Bring your own toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher and laundry soap, etc, etc. We will definitely stay at Emerald Tide again. Thank you for opening your home to us!

Wonderful!
Was a great stay! The only complaint was we don’t think the master bedroom sheets were changed, as we could still smell the perfume of the last people that stayed there before us. Not a huge problem by any means as we just washed them and dried them one day as we would come back for breaks throughout the day. Other than that it was a beautiful house and a great location despite being a little further from the beach. The pool/hot tub was awesome for sunburnt days and evenings too. We definitely would come back here if we ever make it back down to Florida!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house has everything we needed.

So amazing!!
Highly recommend this house! We shared this house with friends and we both had babies and there was SO much room and very kid friendly. We also had a 3 year old and the pool made me nervous but no kid can get into the pool area since the door knobs are very high to get out to the pool. GREAT house! Has access to everything!

Labor Day weekend stay
Overall we had a great stay over Labor Day. The house was very nice and very clean. The location was great, in a nice quiet area away from crowds but easy to get to them if you wanted. The bikes and golf cart were great additions. There was an incident with broken glass being left on the floor (I stepped on it barefoot, ouch) but I’m sure that was just a mistake from the cleaning crew. I also think it would have been helpful to include a map of the watercolor area. They left the amenity passes but it took us some googling to figure out exactly what we could do with them. A map and brief explanation of everything (where exactly beach access is, where the pools are, what camp watercolor is, etc) would have saved us some time and been appreciated.
