Even better than expected

Perfect house for us and our teen son with several of his friends. We all had plenty of space. The house was lovely and well-appointed with a stocked kitchen. We especially enjoyed the walking trails, proximity to the beach and relative calm of the neighborhood. We hope to be back and would highly recommend!

Annual Family Beach Vacation on 30A

Rental company was great to work with! Nice home, layout & location was perfect for our group of 10! Everything was in good working order, plenty of dishes & cookware for our large group, but short on wine glasses & needed 2 more chairs around dining table. House could use a deep cleaning! Use of 7 bikes was a plus, especially since there were no golf carts available for the week!

August 2022 - Making Memories

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time overall at the Making Memories home. The house was a perfect size for our group and in a great location. The house was clean, however there were areas where it could have been cleaner, there was dust and spider webs on lamps and under beds. Also the bikes were not in the best shape, I did call and ask the bike company to replace a few bikes, but they did not get to us during our stay. However we used the ones that were there and had a great time riding to and from the beach.Overall I would rent the house again and recommend it to others.

Good location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall this was a good property but had some room for improvement. The location is good just down the street from Camp Watercolor, sports fields, and fishing pond. Easy walking and biking distance to the rest of Watercolor and Seaside. The five bikes provided worked well. The kitchen was amply supplied with dishes and pots and pans. Bring your own soaps, shampoo, paper towels and toilet tissue because they supply very little. The mattress in the carriage house needs to be replaced. On arrival we found the Wi-Fi was not working but we were able to determine the router was connected incorrectly and fixed it. The gas grill was disgustingly dirty and was incorrectly connected to the propane tank. When we got it going it actually briefly caught fire from all the grease we had to burn off before we could use it. And the trundle bedding had apparently had not been changed because it had crumbs in the bed and cockroaches visiting those crumbs so we did not use that bed. But aside from those few issues the house was in good condition, had adequate furniture and we enjoyed our stay.

Pros-clean, good set up for our family, good location, nice kitchen appliances. The bedding and pillows were poor quality. The first floor bedroom was freezing and there wasn’t a blanket. You need a larger trash can in the kitchen.

It was such a treat to sit on the front porch watching our children enjoy their bike rides. In addition, the proximity to the sand path leading to the soccer field & pool was so convenient! Can't beat a family kickball game!

Old and dated

Property is in a good location near Camp Watercolor, but it needs serious updating. Multiple things need replacing or updating: Upstairs toilet was broken, dryer took 3 hours to complete a load, pots and pans for cooking were limited, bed sheets were very limited (including none for the fold-out couch). For the price we paid per night, I expected a lot more. For virtually the same price, I would recommend 176 Red Cedar Way.

2022 Spring Break

Absolutely loved this property. It was perfect for our 2022 Senior Spring Break. We had 10 graduating seniors and 4 adults who were looking for a low key, relaxing week to make some memories before heading to off to different colleges in the fall. This could not have been more perfect! House was large, comfortable, and more than we imagined. We cooked a lot and the kitchen was well stocked. Watercolor Beach club was the favorite spot for everyone during the day. Thanks again,,,, we will be back!

Called the management company every day!

Great location and house perfect layout for my family. However, I called the management company every day! We had to address several issues upon arrival, which should have been previously taken care of… gas grill & 1 bike broke, front door wouldn’t lock and back deck slippery and water pooled between garage and deck. Lightbulbs needed to be replaced, only one dish towel and 3 wine glasses were provided. It was filthy upon arrival, dirty towels, floors, bathrooms so had to have it recleaned. I wish I could have contacted the owner directly, I will not rent this property again.

GoodBye 2020

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a blast at this home. Location was great, and having 4 king beds all with ensuites was perfect, for 4 adult couples. Plenty of room for all. We loved all the outside seating areas and were able to eat dinner by the fireplace outside, in Jan, it was wonderful. Having use of the garage was amazing and being able to keep the bikes there a bonus. We had a few issues with the home but Oversee where on it! They sent people out afterhours as we stayed over a holiday weekend! One call was all it took each time. Thank you

Perfect Family Getaway

The house was perfect for our 3 families that stayed in the house. There were a handful of issues during our stay but most were addressed after making them known. The house needs some attention but admittedly we arrived at the end of a busy summer for the house. The location in watercolor, seconds from Camp Watercolor, and a quick bike ride to nearly everything you need made this the perfect setting for all that we could ever want. We recommend the management company to provide some closer oversight of the house in order to address a handful of details that need attention. Otherwise, we loved the house, would recommend it to anyone, and would stay there again!

Making memories stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: While the house was beautiful, there were some concerns. The air condition stopped working overnight, resulting in a very uncomfortable night’s sleep. The dish washer wouldn’t work, had to hand wash dishes. The toilet downstairs clogged several times. The main TV and one in carriage house did not consistently work.

Overall good....

We enjoyed our time at this property. However, the 1st floor ac did not work for the majority of the week. We were always able to get in contact with the property manager about the issue. Each day fact would send someone to repair it. Once or twice it seemed to work. But mostly it wouldn’t cool below 72. We liked the location, the beds were comfortable - overall a good trip!
