We just got home from our stay at in Watercolor. The house was very cute, and we were very happy at first, then things sort of started to go downhill as the week went on. The first or second night I went to give the kids a bath and the stopper at the bottom of the tub wouldn't move because the tub plug was broken/ disconnected. So, we had to send a message to them to come and fix that so we could bathe the kids. Then we kept noticing the temperature throughout the house kept changing. So, we said something to the maintenance guy, and I guess the owner of the house likes to control it. Then at night it was getting so cold, we tried to turn up the temperature and there was a code placed on the thermostat to control it. Well, the kids were freezing and there weren't any blankets in the house, so my husband ran up to Publix and bought beach towels. The other issue was the back deck kept giving our kids huge splinters. They need to put a coating on the top to stop the wood from splintering. My poor son has splinters all in the bottom of his feet and he refused to let us get them out. Lastly, there were a lot of scratches and dings on the walls and woodwork, I was a little surprised parts of the house were so well taken care of when touch ups for paint were clearly not done all that regularly. Also, the previous people left toys and some makeup under the vanity in the master bath, I was surprised to see the cleaning people didn't clean any of that up.
So, with those being my negatives, I should also say some positives.
- The location is great. You are about a 7 minute golf cart ride over to camp watercolor, but, everything over by camp watercolor is so crowded that it made it not very enjoyable. I would recommend staying close to the house and just doing Dragonfly pool.
- Close to Publix!
- Close to seaside BUT the golf cart is a fairly simple one and it only holds enough of a charge to go to seaside once and back before you need to charge it again.
- The house is very nice, and beds and couch is comfy.
Long story short- We would not stay in this exact house again. But we would stay in the neighborhood.
