We loved this property. You cannot beat the location. Communication with the manager was impeccable. The amenities were so useful, especially the bikes and golf cart. We would definitely stay here again!

Les points faibles : Propreté, communication, exactitude de l’annonce
We were very disappointed with our stay. As frequent visitors to Watercolor, with teens and toddlers, we purposefully choose a home with a LSV/cart amenity as this property advertises. Upon arrival for our five day stay, we identified the cart needed a repair that should have been recognized and resolved before our arrival. We were without the cart for the first two days waiting on this repair to be completed. On the fourth day, when exiting Camp Watercolor with the kids, we found the cart disabled ("booted") by the Police due to an expired vehnicle registration, temporarily stranding us and causing the unnecessary waste of our time to resolve the citation and return the boot equipment. We lost the use of the cart for another day waiting on the registration to be resolved. During the course of these events, the property manager and owner were were not very responsive, hard to communicate with, and showed little empathy. It took effort to get the property manager on the phone regarding the "boot" situation, and when on the phone she did not understand the situation or how the terms "citation" and "registration" related to the situation. The owner, once involved, did not communicate well, and had to be repeatedly asked for updates. Other amenities were also not as advertised. All of these issues could have been avoided with basic property management. Needless to say, we did not experience the downtime we expected at the Downtime property.

We had such a lovely week at Watercolor. The house is in a great location and well maintained (few minor things but the rental company stayed on top of it). The LSV was so fun to drive around and the bikes got great use as well. Few things to know….The house provides beach and pool towels. If you go to the Beach Club or Camp Watercolor they will give you towels there. There were two broken down (but still useable) beach chairs that we brought with us to the beach club one afternoon. I gathered these may have been left by past renters. It would be great if the house provided 4 beach chairs and maybe an umbrella as the rentals can get pretty pricey. All the pools are heated through late spring. There is a pool two doors away from the house (Dragonfly) that’s lovely and typically very quiet. You can not enter it from the back of the house, only the front.The keypad to get into the house is on the side door. We got in late the first night and it took us a bit to realize we needed to drive around (west Wisteria ln), park in back, and then access the side door. More general info on these types of things would be EXTREMELY helpful from the management company. Also a key or way to enter through the front door would also come in handy. There is a keurig machine as well as a drop coffee maker.Nice starter set was left in each bathroom and kitchen which was great. Nothing needed to check out but lock the door which made departing so much easier! Great time and highly recommend!
