Nice House in quiet Dragonfly
We had a great stay! The house was clean, the AC worked great, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had plenty of dishes, utensils, etc. and there were beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards and floats in the garage. The location was a little away from the action but we liked it as it was quiet. We even had the Dragonfly pool to ourselves a couple of days. Everything was very easy to get to by golf cart or bike. We had a couple of issues with the golf cart and beeping smoke detectors but they were addressed and resolved quickly. A couple of the bicycles could use some maintenance and the grill lighting mechanism only worked for 1 burner. But we were able to light with lighter. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would choose the property again.

Comfort for multi generations
We were all comfortable with enough space to have our alone time when needed. The location was perfect for all to walk to the local pool. The golf cart only registered 55% battery power. Not sure if it was a real problem or just not reading correctly. We used it periodically, so we had no problem. The only downside to these homes is the bedroom downstairs is small. Hard to move around in for older folks, but bed is comfy and they did best they could with space. We personally like more space in the bedroom.

We enjoyed our time at this house and were pleasantly surprised by how much we loved this location in WaterColor. It was great to be so close to Publix.

Beautiful Place
The house was absolutely gorgeous. Pictures are accurate. Location about 1/2 mi to beach. Golf cart was extremely helpful and was our main mode of transportation. Access to the Beach Club was one of the main highlights. If you like the beach and pools don’t rent a place without access to this amenity. Communication with manager was superb. Highly recommend

Enjoyable
Property is a ways from the watercolor beach access so the golf cart is a must….especially with small kiddos. Beware of watercolor municipality issuing tickets in the middle of the night for parking on the “landscaping” (pine needles and mulch). House doesn’t have enough access to parking…advertises two spots but then there is a 6 seater golf cart to also put in the driveway. Garage access would make that much more convenient. Overall house was clean but the hardwood needs a good scrubbing.

Had 2 families of 4 and it fit perfectly. Kitchen appliances could do with an update and bathrooms are slightly small but we enjoyed it thoroughly! Had an issue with AC on the first day and maintenance had it fixed within the hour. Great service from Exclusive 30A!

Little piece of Paradise
We enjoyed our stay here so much. Everything was provided as listed. Great home, great bedding, nicely stocked kitchen- could use plastic cups and bowls for kids. Enjoyed being 2 doors away from Dragonfly pool as it was not as busy as other pools during peak summer season. Golf cart and bikes made everything accessible, would definitely recommend!

Watercolor is PERFECTION!
It has been 20 years since we stayed in the Watercolor community. It is an ABSOLUTE DREAM! This home is fabulous! Spaces are perfectly situated for a large family. A bed for every one! Perfect common areas and even an office! Bikes for rides to the pool, beach, grocery store, etc. Golf car for easy travel within Watercolor as well. The property managers were the most responsive of any I have ever seen when I had questions. We will be back!

Need to figure out the parking. We had two spots allotted but one slot taken up with a three-seater golf cart. Very difficult to find a parking spot.

Beautiful Beach House
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: The house was as beautiful as the pictures online. The house was very clean and well taken care of. When we weren't enjoying the local restaurants, I really enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. A great gas stove with nice pots and pans. Very convenient to Publix and a short walk or golf cart ride away to great shopping, eating, or the beach. Surfing Dear is just down the road and was our favorite meal of our trip. Great area for runners and bike riders. I enjoyed running through Watercolor and down 30A. Perfect summer vacation!

Beautiful Home
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sanctuary by the Sea #37 is a beautiful home and we enjoyed the extra room it provided our party of 10. Outside the parking is very tight for 2 vehicles in rear with the golf cart but fortunately the parking in front of the house was adequate. While everything about the house was terrific, as a prior WaterColor homeowner in the 360 Blue management program, we expected a few things like coffee, extra rolls of toilet paper, etc to be furnished. These are minor disappointments and we will simply bring coffee and other essentials for our next visit.
