Great spring break
I took my daughters in two friends to watercolor for spring break. I never saw the upstairs. The girls occupied that. The downstairs was pristine. Bed was soft and cozy. Shower was great. Property was immaculate.I woulda’t hesitate to stay there again. One thing: there is a golf cart that is listed as An amenity. . There is actually a charge to Use the cart as I was notified after the process. That should be explained clearly in the listing.

Perfect House and Perfect Location!
Came to the property with 10 of my girlfriends!! The house was perfect! We had plenty of space, everyone had their own bed, and we were close to everything we wanted to do! We were able to take the golf cart to the beach, pool and seaside for dinner! The property manager was really easy to communicate with! We will definitely be back!!

Lovely cozy home in Watercolor with all the best amenities!
We absolutely loved our relaxing week in Watercolor with our family! There is so much to do and so much beauty to behold! We loved being able to ride the golf cart or bikes from Vacayzen everywhere we wanted to go. We could easily go into seaside to get coffee and donuts or eat lunch and dinner at the restaurants and food trucks. We had the golf cart to go to the beach club everyday with all of our gear. We will definitely come back!

Fantastic property
This is a gorgeous home. Plenty of space for two families to spread out. Perfectly stocked with kitchen accessories (could use a few more dish towels) and bathroom linens. Having the golf cart made it so easy to move about Seaside and Watercolor. We also loved being so close to Publix (a 6 minute walk or easy bike or golf cart ride with paths).

Beautiful home!
This house was stunning!! We did have a couple issue- AC in upstairs and golf cart, but a quick text to the manager and they sent someone out right away. Wish the porch swing was in the downstairs porch instead of the one off the bedroom, but not a deal breaker. This was my dream home. Thank you so much!!

Wonderful Weekend Getaway!
This was the perfect location for a mother/daughter getaway. The house is beautiful and perfectly furnished with absolutely everything you could need, but I think that the screened in back porch was my favorite spot, overlooking the beautiful green belt. The perfect spot to drink coffee and listen to the rain!

One of the best
We travel often and this was one of the best Vrbo’s we’ve used. Honestly, we all tried to think of something we didn’t like about the stay and we couldn’t come up with anything. You can easily get to the beach, watercolor pools, airstreams, and restaurants using the golf cart. We didn’t use our car at all during the stay. The house was equipped with everything we needed to cook meals and had a ton of pantry and closet space for our belongings. We loved having the screened in porch where we could sit and watch the kids play in the backyard. The management was a pleasure to work with and quickly resolved an internet issue we were experiencing. Can’t wait to go back!

Blessings by the Sea
Our family has been to Watercolor several times, and we keep returning because we love the area. Our first time with iTrip. Again, LOVE Watercolor and the beaches along 30A, but our trip was riddled with hiccups that really took away from our experience. The welcoming email goes to great lengths to make sure you don’t arrive prior to 4PM. We took that seriously and planned our 12 hour drive accordingly. Upon arrival, our rental had not been cleaned yet. Needless to say, our crew of 8 was tired, hot and very disappointed to have to sit out in the van and wait. The staff was very apologetic, which we expected, but when you hammer the point home about arriving after 4 PM and we do, our place should be ready. Anyone who has been to this area knows that the grocery stores are packed and run out of items, but you can’t go shop for food until you’ve unloaded your luggage. Not the best way to start things off. The place was advertised as a super host rental, but I think some things really need fixing/replacing/updating to fit that description. The icemaker in the freezer did not work ( freezer was cold just broken icemaker). This has happened to us in the past, yet the rental agency made sure tomprovide us with ice everyday if we needed it, so as not to inconvenience us on our vacation. Those little things make a difference. Also, we had no internet service upon arrival. This was dealt with the next day. Two days in the power went out for most of the day (really worried our food would spoil). Odd thing is, other homes next to us still had power. After that, the internet did not work again and was 36 hours before that was fixed. The staff was responsive to these mishaps, but to be very honest, when you spend this kind of money, you expect your amenities and services should be in better condition. Sad to say, I would not return to this rental, though we will certainly return to Watercolor in the future.
