New Year Trip

by Codi McGill
We had a great trip between Christmas and new year‘s eve. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, the showers are wonderful with endless hot water. We enjoyed our time at this house and were pleasantly surprised by how much we loved this location in WaterColor. It was great to be so close to Publix.
Thanks for booking with us, Codi! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the home during your stay. Let us know when you're ready to re-book! ??

Great House for Families!

by Janet Rowland
This home is beautiful and so convenient to Watercolor, shopping, Seaside, and the beach! We loved it! Had 2 families of 4 and it fit perfectly. Kitchen appliances could do with an update and bathrooms are slightly small but we enjoyed it thoroughly! Had an issue with AC on the first day and maintenance had it fixed within the hour. Great service from Exclusive 30A!

Great place to stay!

by Lori Thelen
We had a great stay in Watercolor at the Sanctuary by the Sea. Home is great, loved the space and close proximity to Dragonfly pool. The beach and other pools are a bit of a distance but using the golf cart makes everything accessible. We would definitely reccommend.

Beautiful Home

by Steven Bass
Sanctuary by the Sea #37 is a beautiful home and we enjoyed the extra room it provided our party of 10. Outside the parking is very tight for 2 vehicles in rear with the golf cart but fortunately the parking in front of the house was adequate. While everything about the house was terrific, as a prior WaterColor homeowner in the 360 Blue management program, we expected a few things like coffee, extra rolls of toilet paper, etc to be furnished. These are minor disappointments and we will simply bring coffee and other essentials for our next visit.
Thanks so much, Steven! We would love to have you again!

Beautiful Home

by Diane Osborn
This is a gorgeous house. Furnishings are very nice and comfortable. There was an issue with the golf cart, we were informed the day before arrival that it was not available and we had to pay $600 to rent one for 2 days which we were not happy about but understand things happen. We still were very pleased with everything else and would stay here again.
Hi Diane, I do apologize about the cart. When they are damaged by prior guests, we have them repaired as soon as possible. Sometimes that happens within a day or so, and sometimes it takes a week. Thank you so much for the positive review, we would love to have you back!

Great time in a nice house

by Maria Miller
We really enjoyed our stay in Watercolor and in this house. It had everything that we needed and was very comfortable. The few hiccups we had were quickly addressed and fixed. We loved sitting on the screened porch in the evening and watching people drive and bicycle by. The golf cart was very useful getting us around the resort as were the bicycles! We are already planning our return visit next year!
Thank you for the review, Maria! We look forward to having you back!

Great Home!

by James Gendreau
The ladies loved the house, wood floors, big bathrooms, clean, washer dryer, just all you could want and a golf cart to ride the community or go to the beach! Fantastic!
We're glad everyone enjoyed it, James, thanks!

Beautiful Beach House

by Michelle Mickwee
The house was as beautiful as the pictures online. The house was very clean and well taken care of. When we weren't enjoying the local restaurants, I really enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. A great gas stove with nice pots and pans. Very convenient to Publix and a short walk or golf cart ride away to great shopping, eating, or the beach. Surfing Dear is just down the road and was our favorite meal of our trip. Great area for runners and bike riders. I enjoyed running through Watercolor and down 30A. Perfect summer vacation!
Thanks so much, Michelle!

Awesome home but a little far from beach

by Patricia Josephson
We loved the home but had a few concerns. There isn’t a shade on the upstairs master & the morning sun streamed in waking us up pretty early. Home was awesome except washer wouldn’t spin the water completely out. A little further from the beach than expected. Overall we enjoyed our visit.
Thank you for the feedback, Patricia. We're always making improvements to our homes and would love to have you back!

Beautiful House

by Sandy Tucker
This 5 bedroom house was just perfect for our family of 10. Conveniently located to Publix grocery store and Seaside strip. The only problems we noticed were that the showers would fill up ankle deep and we noticed very small ants coming up through the sink in 1 of the bathrooms (upstairs, bedroom with balcony). They would be in the sink bin and vanity. Also, it would be awesome if the amenity cards would be included with the rental of the house. The golf cart & bikes were great for the teenagers. We did have to call about the bike locks because they wouldn't unlock, but maintenance instantly came and replaced them with new locks. Overall, it was a very nice house and we would definitely go back.
Thank you for the feedback, Sandy! We've made a lot of improvements to the home and hope to have you back!

Watercolor vacation

Lovely home

by Bridget Botto
We enjoyed our week here and thought the home was comfortable and spacious. It is close to Publix and a pool, which was very convenient. A public beach access is a 5 minute golf cart ride directly down 395. However, there are quite a few flights of stairs to the beach if you have children, elderly, and chairs and umbrellas. We drove east on 30a about 10 blocks to a public access with parking and a ramp down to the beach. Our teenage children enjoyed the proximity to Seaside for eating out and socializing. They took off on their bikes like we did when we were growing up. It was great to relive a bit of the good old days!
Thanks so much for the positive review, Bridget! We would love to have you back!

Perfect Location for a Perfect Vacation

by Tammy Holley
Well, no trip is perfect, but this one was close to it!!! The house is very clean, spotless should I say, and the location next to Dragonfly Pool is hard to beat! Even though you are not right on the beach, it is refreshing to be away from the crowds! The golf cart, bike rides, and walks around the neighborhood make this trip even better! Beautiful landscaping and lots of places just to relax! I can't wait to go back again!!!
Thanks so much, Tammy! (:

Sanctuary by the Sea

by Julie Szabo
A beautiful home, with perfect layout for families. We enjoyed our stay here. Could use blinds on all windows in bedrooms, so one can sleep in! But other than that, it was a great house.
Thank you, Julie!

Sanctuary by the Sea

by Timothy Kenfick
This is a lovely house. However management is lacking. The electronic entrance to the house is at the back door and hard to find in the dark if you don't know where it is. Garage door opener was dead so no access to golf cart. 2 of the 4 bikes broken. Front door lock broken had to use the screen latch to secure the house. All in all a great house.
I'm so sorry to hear this, Timothy! Please reach out to Guest Services if you ever experience issues such as these so we can have them taken care of ASAP! Thank you for leaving a positive review, and we hope to see you again for another chance to impress! 🙂

Family Time at The Sanctuary

by Edwin McConnell
Very nice property. Even though we prefer a location closer to the beach, we made the adjustment to the distance. The golf cart was a huge plus.
Around 10 minutes to the beach area by Golf Cart through Water Color.
Another plus was the close proximity to the pool.
Thank you, Edwin, we are happy that you enjoyed your stay!
