AUGUST SPECIAL!!! Private Pool ~ OUTDOOR KITCHEN & FIREPLACE ~ FAMILY OASIS!!!

We have vacationed in Watercolor for the past 5 years and each time have rented a different home. We chose this particular house this year for 3 main reasons: 1) pool; 2) location; 3) price. The pool by far was the biggest selling point since we'd be sharing the home with another family, both of which have small children. Our intent was to swim before and after the beach each day, the kids were REALLY looking forward to this. When we arrived the pool was as hot as a jacuzzi, an adult could barely get in it, let alone children. The problem persisted for at least the first 3 days of our 6 day stay. We were in contact with the property manager and while being responsive, was not addressing the problem in a timely manner. No pool maintenance company was ever sent out to inspect the equipment and the property mgr was only attempting to adjust the temperature thru some sort of a phone app. She claimed she was contacting the equipment manufacturer as well but never heard anymore about that except for this mere mention. We were never given updates, we had to constantly ask. On the 3rd day we wrote again, informing them the pool is still too hot to swim. The response we got was "WHAT! Its 93 degrees." Somehow we were supposed to be happy the pool had cooled from 106 to 93....you would hardly put small children in a pool at that temperature, especially after a day in the sun. We vented our frustration and even requested the owner extend us some sort of a credit for this inconvenience....It was ignored and has been ignored to this day. We are reasonable people, things break, we get it. It was how the issue was handled that was disappointing, We rented this house for the use of the pool, I want to be perfectly clear. And it couldn't be used for at least half our stay. On top of that we could not get the tv outside working the first 3 days. Instructions were sub par and we later discovered the correct tv remote dead in the wrong drawer. We were told their AV guy was out of town. Sorry, that's inexcusable also...have a backup when he's traveling (yes he called but someone needs to be on site). Outside of these issues it is a very nice house, inside and out. The AV guy eventually showed up and was very pleasant and apologetic also.

I came here for a weekend get away with my daughter. Because of the layout of this home and the amazing laid-back nature of watercolor I was completely able to unwind.

We had 4 beautiful sunny days at the beach. We grilled outside, swam in the heated salt water pool and relaxed in the hot tub.

We biked everywhere. I loved biking to Almavida to get coffee in the morning with amazing views of the ocean ! My daughter loved their pastries .. The beds were comfy.

The house seemed brand new. But my daughter wanted to spend every waking minute we were not at the beach outside !

We will be back! Wanting to return to Watercolor really soon.

This was my first visit to the area from California. I have fallen in love with 30A. I could not get over the color of the water here. The restaurants were amazing and stopping in all of the beach towns was fun. Having this home as our base was a sanctuary at the end of each day. Coming home to an immaculate house that had an outdoor sanctuary was the highlight of our day after spending all of our days at the beach and beach club in Water color. We loved sitting in the hot tub, playing board games by the fire by the outside table and watching movies outside. Because the home is neighbored by trees on one side, it is a completely private oasis. We cannot wait to come back and make more family memories.

I wish I could transport that backyard to my own home ! And outdoor kitchen with a fireplace and a hot tub and saltwater pool is a dream ! I’m top of all of this being able to bike into Seaside and to the glorious beaches of 30 A is truly a dream come true .

We grilled we watched TV outside we played in the pool and took walks on the beach daily . We are already booking our return visit !

I have stayed at many beach houses but this one takes the cake. The house has been recently renovated and the furnishings are new and modern. We rode our bikes to the beach, enjoyed the local wine festival and Saturday farmers market. The beach is glorious and a bike ride away. Some days I did not want to leave the backyard however with the hot tub, salt water pool, tv and outdoor kitchen I spent many lazy days in the glorious backyard. Will definitely return to wanderlust in Watercolor.
