We sleep 10 people in beds so no one has to worry about drawing the short straw and having to sleep in the living area.

Well you don't have to do it in the kitchen like most of the other units. We have a separate large laundry room with a FULL SIZE washer and dryer, utility sink and lots of extra storage cabinets. You spoke and we listened! We just updated the dining area with new table and chairs with seating for 7 AND we added a stand alone bar top table that adds seating for 2 more! The whole family can now enjoy dining together. We also added a small table and 2 chairs to the Master Bedroom so you have a place to sit while putting on your shoes and an extra spot to charge those electronics you just couldn't leave at home. Luggage racks are now in all 3 bedrooms giving you a place to rest that suitcase so you can dig out the swimsuits and flip flops! If it's a rainy day you have no need to worry as we've also added an Xbox One so you can still play those video games

Paradise found here

This vacation rental was even better than pictured. The view was insane, like pretty much ocean front. The rental had plenty of room for everyone, and was very well appointed. We had everything we needed to cook a home cooked meal or just order in for the evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation here for the week.

Our Review

Michelle was a pleasure to work with and answered our emails very quickly. The property (A301) was perfect for our family, 10 persons in all! The view from the balcony was awesome!! The ocean was rough most of the week with a couple of double red flag warning days due to tropical storm Hanna, however the pool area received a lot of use from our family, especially the grandkids. Tiki Bar received some use from the adults!! Whole family and especially our 2 y/o grandson, enjoyed seeing the different aircraft flying everyday and the maneuvers they showed. God Bless our Military keeping us safe!! The family is definitely talking about next year.

The best condo at Waterscape!

We are a family of 6 (4 children). We have stayed at Waterscape multiple times and this condo was by far the best we have stayed in. The view is amazing! The condo was stocked with k-cups, spices and basically everything we would need for cooking. The closet is full of beach toys that our kids loved! Most condos come with 2 beach chairs and an umbrella. This unit comes with 4 beach chairs and 2 umbrellas to use each day. There is even 1 hour of kayak or paddle boarding included each day! The condo was clean and exceeded all of our expectations. Last but not least, the owner is amazing to deal with! She went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful vacation. I

Gorgeous view, great location, great space

Great location, easy access. Short drive from the airport. Beautiful ocean front view of a beautiful beach. Great outdoor pool area (no indoor pool). Master bedroom and bath are phenomenal. Kitchen was well stocked. Condo is a good little walk from the parking garage, but there were carts for use. Coffee, candy, a water bottle, and some sunscreen were provided which was nice and appreciated. Beach towels and trash bags NOT provided. And note that 4 beach chairs are included, but they are first come, first serve so getting to the beach early to reserve your spots is necessary. There was a tropical storm on the day of our beach wedding and the Waterscape Resort staff were amazing with helping us come up with a Plan B on very short notice. They were so sweet and hospitable. Overall a great stay and we hope to return!

Perfect for Families!

This place was perfection! It was evident upon entering that this condo is listed with 100% accuracy. The kitchen was laid out wonderfully and stocked with anything you may need. The bathrooms were enormous, the king master bathroom could be a bedroom it was so big. The bedrooms were so comfortable and had breathtaking views! The entire condo was decorated beautifully and very clean. Matter of fact there is nothing I could even begin to complain about. The kids loved the sand toys and bunk beds as well as the outdoor pools and hot tubs! There were little things everywhere to make you feel at home including k cups, a bowl of candy, condiments, beach chairs, cooler, and frequently forgot items! Michelle was quick to get back to us during booking and to answer any questions making everything from booking to check out so easy. We can't wait to come back! Thank you Michelle for making our little Boy's Adoption trip so special, we are so grateful! -Sarah, Michael, and Hudson Hilgefort
