A Home away from Home

Review Submitted: 01/10/12
I have stayed in this house several times now and it just seems to get better and better. The new addition is fabulous. We loved sitting by the fire on chilly nights and the dining area is perfect for a large group. The kitchen in this house is remarkably well stocked. I have had several rental experiences that felt more like camping due to a poorly outfitted kitchen. This house is equipped for the sophisticated cook, down to an egg-poaching pan! I continue to appreciate the location of this house. It is close enough to easily ride my bike to the beach club, but out of the heavily trafficked area so that my children can play and ride their bikes in relative safety. There is a small cul-de-sac directly across the street that a younger child can ride around in very safely. Of course, proximity to Publix is always appreciated for last minute runs! I truly knew that I felt at home here on this past visit. I was ill for a few days and normally would have wanted to be at home in my own bed. I thought about going home early but I was so comfortable in my room (not even the master) with the sound machine to block out the noise of the house when I wanted to sleep and the great TV when I didn’t, that I decided to stay. Reading on the porch swing was a great way to spend my day when I wasn't yet up to a full day of activity. A few days later I was better and my vacation turned out great. This isn’t a vacation house; it is a vacation home.

High Tide...Take Me Away!

High Tide is absolutely fabulous! Normally we stay on the water, and I was worried that I would miss that, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Watercolor resort community has so many things to do from great pools, walking trails, and playgrounds…yet it is very quiet and secluded. When we wanted to go to the beach, it was very easy to get there, and Debbie and Tom even have beach chairs, kids toys, and a picnic basket to take along. The home was like being at our own home and it was the first time we didn’t miss something…such as the comfort of our own bed, kitchen capabilities, or entertainment. The owners have paid a lot of attention to the details in this beautiful home from the furnishings to the local art that gives it a fantastic beach feel. The front porch swings were wonderful as was the newly finished back porch and both allowed us to enjoy the tranquility that this home offers. This home has everything you need and the owners go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your stay. We will definitely return!

Amazing vacation at the beach

My second trip to this wonderful house over the Christmas break was even better than the first, and I thought the first was fabulous. This home is perfect in every way. The owners have equipped the house with all of the amenities that you would ever want or need from the fully stocked kitchen to fine bed linens. The location is quiet and peaceful and just a short walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. I will definitely be returning to this lovely house next year as this is by far the nicest rental I have ever stayed in!

Best of Times

Our family stayed during Christmas at High Tide and thoroughly loved the house. The setting is quiet and yet close to everything. We loved the porches and particularly the fireplace room with big screen TV. Our girls could not decide whether they wanted the upstairs bedroom or the master downstairs. This home is so well equipped that you will need nothing to prepare any meal. Less than 5 minutes from the beach by bike, with plenty of lovely sites along the way. Need something at the grocery? You can scoot over and back in a flash. Oh, you will not be disappointed in any respect with this one. Tall ceilings and large rooms throughout. Great owner communication and so helpful in recommending places in the area. We will be back.

High Tide is one of the most fabulous homes in Watercolor. It truly has everything a renter would want! The kitchen is a cook's dream. The two master bedrooms are beautiful, as well as extremely comfortable. The upstairs bedrooms are perfect for kids or adults. The porch is amazing, and is a great place to have morning coffee. Overall I would highly recommend High Tide for anyone looking for a beautiful yet comfortable home to rent.

We have vacationed in the Beaches of South Walton area for many years, and this home was by far the best rental yet. The owners did a GREAT job making sure our stay was exceptional, from the spot-on recommendations to the follow up calls, they went above and beyond my expectations. The recent patio addition was one of our favorite features, as we spend most every evening enjoying the outdoor TV and fireplace, after cooking in the well-stocked kitchen. Without a doubt, we will stay here again.

What a beautiful house and so well equipped! I've stayed in rentals in this area for 15+ years and really enjoyed this property. The owners were great to work with and very helpful.

Great Outdoor Living Space

Our family stayed at High Tide during this past Labor Day holiday. The weather was horrible for a beach vacation but this house made up for it. We LOVED the outdoor living space!!! We ate meals out there, played board games, and cheered on our LSU Tigers on the flat screen!!! Would love to go back during winter to lite up the fireplace and make S'mores! Would highly recommend this home for multiple families. The bedroom set-up is great with each their own bathroom.

Perfect Anniversary Getaway

Staying in your Watercolor home was a wonderful experience! You all have gone above and beyond in furnishing and decorating your place. You certainly have something to be proud of! I would certainly consider staying there again; very convenient to the beach. We also enjoyed the bikes – nice amenity. Love your new outdoor room! I will recommend it to friends as I hear of someone heading that way! The owners made sure we knew how to reach them in case of problems or questions and seemed to care about making sure our stay was satisfactory. The Watercolor, Seagrove, Seaside area is a quieter stretch of beach and very family oriented. We actually used it as a getaway weekend to celebrate an anniversary, but hope to take the family back.

Our stay at High Tide was awesome. The house is so well equipped with all your needs. I enjoy cooking on vacation and the kitchen had all the bells and whistles unlike most rentals. The back porch is wonderful. and so secluded. We enjoyed our dinner at the long table then retired in front of the fireplace. It was truly a treat. The owners even equip you with blankets for cooler evening. The beds are awesome and the floor plan works for so many types of groups. They suggested a restuarant in Rosemary called Georges. It was delicious and the decor was very cool. Debbie and Tom have thought of everything to truly make your vacation a delight. Much thanks for sharing your home with us.
