Place was gorgeous and very clean. Perfect for two people. Kitchen had everything needed for cooking. Outdoor space was excellent. We didn’t use the beach chairs but glad they were available. Bed was a little soft for our taste but comfortable. We would stay again.

Great family getaway!

The condo was perfect for our needs and we loved staying right next to the Beach Club! WiFi did not work the entire time we were there, so that was the only issue since we needed to work from the condo from time to time.

Labor Day Weekend Trip

This home was very nice with great views and had everything you need in a home! It is very close to the beach house. The location is perfect to get to all the other beaches and towns in no time. It's also right around the corner from Seaside, where the food trucks are amazing! We highly recommend this property. Working with 360 Blue was very easy as well. They were always very helpful.

Cute unit but smelled musty/mildewy and the owner had removed all the window handles on casement windows so it’s impossible to air it out (there were no screens on the doors). Also the wifi wasn’t operational. They had jammed the router into a drawer so it didn’t work. Finally, the next door units are under construction so the noise began at 7 AM.

Convenient

The property was nice, but the bed was very uncomfortable. I think it’s time to invest in a new mattress, when I lay down, it felt as if I were rolling to the middle of the mattress. Also, there was construction all around, which would have been nice to have been made aware of. The workers were always in our way every time we left the property, sometimes blocking the elevator. One time, we had to step around many large trash bags that were blocking the elevator entrance. It did not feel safe to go in and out without my husband with me. Location was convenient We had a good amount of rain, so having a covered patio or balcony would have been nice as well.

Small piece of heaven

This was our second time staying in this property. It is a 1 bedroom upstairs and downstairs is den with pullout sofa (however we brought blowups this visit bc pullout was excrutiatingly uncomfortable.) The kitchen and bathroom is also downstairs, along with a porch. Location is key, right off of 30A, next to beach club, Watercolor shops and restaurants. We had an issue with a window and it was promptly looked after and fixed. Look forward to going back!

Perfect Location

We’ve been coming to Watercolor with our kids for the past few years, but this time decided to come down WITHOUT the kids for a long weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. You can’t beat the location - right across the street from the Beach Club and FOOW. The new pools are awesome and the beach/water was the nicest I’ve seen it in years. The condo itself was nice, but we had a few issues during our stay. The issues were minor and were shared with the property manager, but overall, we had a great stay. Hope to be back (with or without kids) very soon!

November 2021 Stay

We love staying at Watercolor & chose this condo specifically for the upstairs balcony where the sunsets were amazing! And honestly this was the best part about the condo. When we entered there was definitely a musty smell that another guest had mentioned. It is in need of updating regarding decor & appliances & bathrooms. With the cost of the rental we were a bit disappointed over all. 360 Blue was very attentive & called several times to see if we needed anything so that was great

September 2019 Stay

We took a few days as a family of 4 to our favorite spot on 30a - seaside:) this was our first time staying at watercolor. The unit was overall very nice with a couple of blips. The sleeper sofa was not at all usable but we called and were sent an air mattress which was appreciated. We had some plumbing problems when we first arrived - the upstairs sink was clogged.. but we called and it was fixed promptly. The upstairs toilet did not work very well and so we called and someone came out. That issue was not fixed and so we were down to one bathroom to use at that point.

Great location, disappointing customer service experience

We recently stayed at this vacation rental, and unfortunately, my experience was far from ideal. The biggest issue was that the air conditioning stopped working multiple times during our stay. With the hot weather, it made the place uncomfortable, especially at night. We tried reaching out to the 360 Blue the first time the unit went out (late one evening after a long day in the sun and a long travel day before) multiple times to report the issue, but the response was slow, and when we did hear back, there was little they could offer that late at night. We ended up having to book another room for the night, obviously being exhausted and not wanting to wait around in the heat for maintenance to see if it could even be fixed. The poor customer service was really frustrating. It seemed like the host wasn’t really concerned about the inconvenience we were facing. For a rental that promises a comfortable, relaxing experience, it was anything but.I’ve stayed in plenty of rentals before, and I’ve never encountered such a lack of responsibility. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves both their maintenance and customer service.Overall, I wouldn't recommend staying here unless you're sure the issues are fixed, and you’re prepared for a potential lack of support if something goes wrong during your stay.

Overall an enjoyable experience- close the pool and beach. Amenities worth the slight inconveniences of condo. The unit was not cleaned properly before our arrival. Items left from previous guests, shopping bags on back of doors, toys under coffee table, mess on balcony, bathroom floors not swept. Reached out to rental company without resolution. Water pressure want great and upstairs showered leaked. Luckily we spent most of our time outdoors.

Great week away

The distance to the beach and Watercolor beach club was fantastic as were the convenience of the bikes at the property. We just wish it was explained a bit better that there were no inside stairs between the units and wished there had been communication prior to when contractor/handymen stopped by to assess some windows on the first floor and asked if they could come inside to see it from the inside… but otherwise everything worked out and we had a great week!

360 Blue is a terrible organization. Communication is terrible, cleaning crew was terrible

When we scheduled our vacation we stated we were coming from New Jersey and asked to gain access into the property early. Our flights were early. We were told yes we could. We arrived and called and we were told by a representative of 360 blue to check back at 230 it was finishing up being cleaned. We called again and were told by Brittany, ( she said she was the boss,) that no we could not. She said it was not cleaned. So we had no choice but to wait. Bad timing, bad information, we just rolled with it. We were in the parking lot when the 2 cleaning women arrived. TALK ABOUT APPALLING!!!! With COVID especially. These 2 women carried in a roll of paper towel, a bottle of spray cleaner and 2 rags. I TOOK PICTURES so can back up my account of the details. They were inside less than 15 min. Then stood out front on their phone. They left with the same supplies they came in with. When we finally gained entry to the condo...well lets just say it was not clean. Thats putting it nicely. I purchased cleaning supplies to clean the bathrooms and kitchen. I even checked the closet to see it there were other cleaning supplies they could have used in addition to the one bottle of spray. NOTHING Folks Im not sure how much you pay 360 blue for the care and cleaning of your property... but it was bad. The glass top table was filthy and full of sand. The floors were sticky, there were black finger print marks all over the bathroom door on the main floor. How do you rent a condo to anyone in that condition? We are in the middle of a PANDEMIC and that is 360 Blues idea of cleaning? I WILL NEVER STAY AT ONE OF THESE PROPERTIES AGAIN! Yes... one would ask why didn't we call..... BRITTANY the self proclaimed boss was little help when we arrived so my expectation was low. There were no instructions what to do with the trash if you were in a condo...the instruction sheet appeared to be geared more towards folks who rented homes. Half of our stay, there were white trash bags from another renter sitting by the walkway. They were there at least 3 days. On the balcony outside the master bedroom were...what could have been lovely chase lounge chairs. The cushions were completly shredded and filthy. This was our first BAD experience renting through VRBO. The resort was lovely. The 360 Blue management company could care less.....and its reflected in every aspect of communication we had with them from initial contact to the cleanliness of the condo.

Excellent location, cute condo w/some issues that could have been easily fixed

Cute 2 floor condo in Watercolor in perfect location to beach club w/a small view of the Gulf. We would’ve rated this condo a 5 star if it weren’t for some minor issues. Downstairs ceiling fan didn’t work & same tech came twice to assess & fix. Guy had such an attitude & don’t understand why come twice to fix & doesnt. A/C unit was leaking so much water at times a full pitcher in less than an hour. But did have a drainage so I guess that was ok but could’ve easily communicated that it’s normal??? Last called in major problem w/ants mainly in the kitchen w/times 100s crawling in & our kitchen cabinets. Sent them pics of it & never got a call back after 3 messages. We just dealt with it as wanted to enjoy our vacation. The condo clearly has some issues & definitely need to be remedied for the next renters.

Great condo and location. We loved biking everywhere and short walk to the beach club. Having beach chairs in the condo was helpful as there is extra charge for chair service at the beach club. Pull out sofa is almost unusable as bed - please consider replacing it.

We loved the location! Master was awesome, bikes were nice, beach club is amazing.We want to strongly suggest you replace the pull out couch. The pull-out and the couch itself are unbearable to sleep on. We also had an issue with the dishwasher not probably cleaning the dishes.
