"Wonderful! - Enjoyed our first trip to Seaside/Watercolor! The condo was great - a perfect location. Easy access to everything; pool, beach, the square. The bikes were so nice and we really liked the Watercolor beach access. Private enough to avoid crowds yet close enough to the square to walk to enjoy everything that Seaside has to offer!
The condo was awesome! We enjoyed coffee and cocktails on the patio everyday, and had more than enough space for our group. The linens and beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed and we had everything we needed!
RealJoy was great as well - clear communication and very responsive.
Highly recommend!"

Easy biking to wherever we wanted to go. Only wish we could have seen the gulf better from the balcony but the dunes and vegetation prevented that."

"Watercolor early May 2022 - Excellent property in a great location.
There are two suggestions: The floors were not as clean as possible as anyone walking barefoot inside the property quickly found out.
The second issue was not being aware that there is an exclusive provider of golf carts for Watercolor (Electric Car Company). This is fine as long as you know; we had reserved a cart from a different company ahead of time and found out when arriving that they are not allowed in the community.
On another note the clothes dryer did not work well.
Overall the property is great and would definitely recommend to others and stay there again!"

Aaron, Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback regarding your stay. We apologize for the confusion regarding the golf carts.

Great location, close to Watercolor amenities and just a quick walk or bike ride to Seaside. We had an initial problem with our amenity cards not being left under the door mat as promised - Realjoy mgmt company blamed it on Watercolor security, security referred me back to Realjoy. That was a frustrating way to start the trip, but it was resolved. Overall we really enjoyed the property and had a wonderful trip!"

"Wonderful Place (minor issue with Water Color) - As far as the property goes it was fantastic. 10 steps from the pool and easy beach access. Wonderful restaurant on property right next door and walking distance to dining across the street.
My only real complaint is against Water Color itself. They limit the amount of golf cart rentals to 45 for the whole Water Color Community. So it books up months in advance, thus not great for any last minute getaway. This also means far more bikes and posed a problem for parking in the underneath parking because there were so many bikes that people would leave bikes blocking parking spots for cars since it was crowded and hard to get them out of the way."

Hey Ben, thank you for your feedback of this beautiful Watercolor property. We're happy you enjoyed the easy access to the beach and the fabulous eateries within walking distance!

"On the Beach! Roomy! - Rented for long weekend getaway. Home is right next to the resort inn, but it has its own (heated!) pool. First thing noticed was that it has great floor space and is wide and airy. We rented bikes and there is all kinds of interesting places to bike to. We ate out a lot as there's many options (Bud N Alleys was delicious, close, and a favorite, although pricey. Packed at sunset!) One night we cooked in, and the kitchen was great and it was romantic fun.
The beach is just over the one sand dune (close!) and the dune cut down the wind at the pool. December, at the beach!
Covered parking for my convertible."

We enjoyed time on the beach, which is incredibly easy to access from the property, as well as several of the pools, lunches at The Beach Club, tennis lessons at the nearby resort tennis center, and we rented bikes for the entire family so we could ride together each day. We highly recommend this property and we were very impressed with the property management company as well as we experienced no glitches or problems.

"Fun Birthday with Family - Second year staying here and loved it again. It was perfect for our group. A large well stocked kitchen and lots of room in the den. Downstairs bedroom is good so that everyone is not right on top of one another. The master suite area is very spacious and comfortable. The dunes have grown up to the point where you can't see the sand anymore but you can see the ocean. Enjoy having my coffee on the deck and listening to the waves. Very relaxing.
We walked over to Seaside and watched the sunset from Bud and Alley's to celebrate son's birthday. Great time."

"Kathleen Owen - My family and I recently visited Watercolor and would definitely recommend #9 to our friends and family. It is in a great location, conveniently situated near the town center, restaurants and beach access. This unit is on the ground floor with easy access to the pool and parking. We liked that the covered parking spot kept our car cool and made it easy to unload luggage and groceries. We loved the close proximity to the pool and which made it easy with the kiddos wanting to go back and forth.
The furnishings and decor were excellent and provided the perfect retreat! My only complaint would be the towels provided, but the other linens like the bedding were wonderful! Another great stay in Watercolor...we will definitely be back to #9!"

"One of the best locations in Watercolor! - I stayed in this lovely townhouse for a long weekend with my family and a few extra teenagers. We had plenty of room and the location could not have been better. It is as close to the beach as you can get at Watercolor. Everything was right outside our door -- access to the beach, shops, restaurants and a semi-private pool. We hardly used our car the whole time we were there! This townhouse comes with covered parking which is nice because not only could we keep our car covered but it provided a great place to keep our bikes and paddle board. We really enjoyed it and would love to stay here again in the future!"
