This condo is lovely and comes with everything you need! Well stocked kitchen, nice supplies of extras like coffee, laundry detergent and bath products. Beach towels and chairs were ready to go, as well. The owner is super nice and helpful. Condo is next to the very nice pool. Big grill for use in pool area, too. We loved our stay!

Beautiful Condo & Great Location
We were very pleased with this property! You can’t ask for a better location as far as the beach is concerned! I feel the condo is more beautiful and spacious than the pictures suggest. We did do a fair amount of cooking in the kitchen and we had all the supplies/appliances we needed. The RO drinking water at the sink was a great surprise! There were plenty of beach toys to entertain the kids and enough chairs and umbrellas to keep us at the beach all day. Julie was an amazing communicator! This being our first stay in the watercolor area, I appreciated her in-depth email and links to businesses/items we may want to reserve as our trip approached. We also had a small issue with the door code at check-in, and she texted back immediately and resolved it! I’m already looking to grab a week next summer at this condo because my family can’t wait to go back!

Great experience…
Everything was perfect! The accommodations were lovely and just as promised and owner was knowledgeable and accommodating to work with. The resort with all the pools and Kids camp was fabulous. There was something for everyone. It is a very family friendly environment. Great food, shopping and an understated ambiance. We will be back!

2nd stay here was as wonderful as the first!
This was our 2nd year in a row staying at Beachside Dunes! From the moment we walked in it was obvious the cleaning crew had done a great job preparing for us. The vacation home is so accommodating with king side beds and a big living space for us to all gather in. The open kitchen is great for allowing whoever is in the kitchen to still be included. We will most likely visit this great vacation spot again!

Perfect location and size for family vacation!
Julie’s place is amazing! Perfect location for easy beach access. It was great to have private pool so close with showers to wash off sand. We appreciated the access to all watercolor amenities as well. The condo itself is beautiful and clean and spacious enough for multigenerational family. The condo was well stocked as far as kitchen needs and extra blankets and towels. We had everything we needed for the beach as well. She had chairs, umbrellas and toys for the kids. Julie was so responsive and helpful. We can’t wait to come back again!

Fantastic home and location
One of the best and great owner! Loved the home. Fantastic quiet location. Walkable to restaurants. Great wine bar across the street. Kids loved the beach and pool and you can walk to grayton state park for snorkeling. Great decorating in the condo made us feel at home.

Wonderful Location
This condo was decorated very nicely and was very clean. We really felt at home. The location to the private beach was fabulous. Being able to use the watercolor Inn amenities was great as well. We were able to walk into the town of seaside for dinner. The owner was very responsive and answered all of my questions very quickly and made wonderful suggestions. I would definitely stay here again. We had 6 adults and a baby and had plenty of room and everyone had their own space. Definitely recommend.

Beyond Expectations
This property is everything we hoped for and more for our young family to experience our first beach trip together! The condo was simply perfect for us. Whether we wanted to spend time at the beach, the private pool, or take advantage of the Watercolor club amenities, everything was so easy! And when the Florida rain storms rolled in, we hunkered down and played games (provided), streamed movies, or napped while we listened to the rain outside. My wife and I both commented that we haven’t slept that well in years! There were a couple very small things we had to reach out to the owner for, but she was incredibly responsive and kind and had things fixed/addressed within a couple hours. Our only regret was not staying for two weeks!

Watercolor Oceanfront Family Memories
This place was everything it says & more, it's gorgeous w/ the wrap around covered porches w/ the ocean & pool as your views. The walk over is just steps away, lots of beach equipment like toys, chairs, umbrellas for your enjoyment. The owner, Julie, was the nicest & most helpful responsive owner of any place I have ever rented before (and we have stayed down here for many years) The place looks practically brand new inside, 3 great comfy king beds, 2 bump beds, plus there was a pack & play & high chair for our granddaughter. The pool right next door could not be more convenient after a day at the beach. Right next door to the Watercolor beach club, 1 min walk, if you want more pools. Across the street from shops & restaurants, the location is perfect!!!! Thank you Julie for a perfect Family vacation!!!!
