Sun Haven | Lake District, Watercolor, FL 257 Scrub Oak Circle Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459
Dune Vacation Rentals Presents: Vacations at Watercolor reflect simpler times – taking bike rides, building sand castles, eating meals together, and enjoying quality family time. "Sun Haven", located at 257 Scrub Oak Circle, was designed to reflect these times. Built in vintage style for the health conscious, this fabulous open design is perfect for family getaways and only a few minutes away from the Town Center, Seaside, the Frog pool, the Boat House, and, of course, the Gulf. As an added bonus, Sun Haven includes a Golf Cart/LSV for your use!
A spectacular kitchen, designed by a Le Cordon Blue-trained chef, with pink Northstar retro appliances and a huge, strikingly white island, form the heart of the home. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area with a French Farm House table and dreamy white Great Room with flat screen TV/DVD. A screened porch just off the Great Room makes a great place for breakfast in the morning or drinks in the evening as you watch your neighbors pedal by. Fabulous art by several local artists highlighting local color is displayed throughout. The full laundry room is on the first floor as is a powder room. There are two master bedrooms, both with king-sized beds. The bedding and the mattresses were specially chosen for nights of sweet dreams. The master on the first floor features Lilly Pulitzer curtains and a large built-in desk. The chandelier-lighted master bath has a spacious walk-in shower, a distinctive claw foot tub, and a double vanity. The screened-in porch off this bedroom overlooks a park and trail and is perfect to enjoy a private cup of coffee in the morning or cocktail in the evening. The upstairs has three bedrooms (including the second master). Two of these have custom-built bunk beds. The first sleeps three (with trundle), has a built-in desk and vintage theater chairs. The second, right next door, sleeps five (with trundle). All bedrooms feature flat-screen TVs, and this one also has a DVD player, so the kids can gather here for movie night if the parents are socializing downstairs. The kids' bath has a walk-in shower and whimsical farm-style sink. Just down the hall is the second master with a second bath. Access to a huge screened porch is available both through this bedroom and from the hallway. For the health conscious or allergy sufferer, the entire home features Guardian Air to purify the HVAC, filtered water (a Culligan system), with an additional spa filter in the kitchen, hardwood floors and tile (in the baths), and low or no-VOC paint. In addition to these features, this home offers an outdoor shower to wash off the sugar sand after a fun-filled day at the world's most beautiful beach.

We had a fabulous stay ! The property manager communicated very easily with us. The home is lovely- we loved the charm of the pink retro kitchen and it was very well equipped. I would stay here again !
Great host! Beautiful, spacious, well-kept home! Table tennis, golf cart, bikes, nugget ice maker, huge kitchen…couldn’t ask for much more. Great spot. Looking forward to a return trip.
This property was perfect for our two families. Combined we had 5 children ages 2-9. It was a great location and perfect set up. The decor was perfect for a beach vacation. The kitchen was stocked with anything you may need for making meals and was very organized. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sun Haven!
Wonderful visit to this cozy and well appointed home. Great location and great communication from the rental company. Beds were not the most comfortable, but everything else was top notch.
Your Comments My family loved the Sun Haven. Spacious and fun with a great location in Watercolor. Golf cart was huge bonus as well. Easy access to store and beach and shopping. Very comfortable home with spacious rooms. Loved the screened in porches as well, could barely tell they were there visually. Highly recommend. And the management was fantastic, truly responsive and super accommodating. We will return soon!
We were crazy about this house! It was so pretty and filled with natural light. We love Watercolor and this was our 3rd time visiting. This house was amazing. Literally my ONLY suggestion would be to:
1. provide a knife set (we grilled steaks and had to share a massive knife! lol)
2. There wasn't a pantry, or the one we saw was locked. So we rearranged some cabinets to store food.
Otherwise we thought the place was perfect! Thank you so much!

We loved having your lovely family and are looking forward to your next visit! We have added knifes to the home and appreciate your bringing that to our attention! You are welcome back any time!
We've stayed at Watercolor or Seaside for the last 5 years and this was definitely our least favorite property.
We love Watercolor and have stayed at Seaside in the past as well.
When we arrived we had plans to meet friends for dinner and on our way out, found out that the Golf Cart wouldn't work. Apparently, it had been serviced and left in tow mode. The company came out the next day and 'fixed it.' When we tried to use it after they left later in the day, the front wheel wouldn't move. Another fix and another day lost on the Golf Cart. This continued with poor battery issues and found out the outlets that were charging the golf cart were not working properly.
The door to the downstairs guest bathroom wouldn't close. We had them repair it the next day but even after the repair, it would slowly slide open while you were using the bathroom.
Only one side of the toaster worked.
By the way, this is not a chef's kitchen. The appliances are chosen because of their pink color and not because of their functionality.
We had to google how to use the Smelg coffee machine - turns out you have to push the power button quickly twice to start brewing coffee. They did have a Keurig but we prefer to make a carafe.
The vent hood barely worked to suck up any smoke forcing us to open the windows when we cooked.
Overall, this is a lower level property than the price justifies. PS - internet kept going out as well.

Thank you for taking the time in leaving us a review.
We are very sorry about the issues with the golf cart. There had been a lightning strike directly to a home at the other end of the street and many houses in the neighborhood experienced issues with appliances, tv's, outlets, and lights. We thoroughly checked all of the lights, tv's and breaker box and found no issues, but, unfortunately, we did not check the outdoor outlets. As you mentioned, the outlet the golf cart was plugged into was not working, which was due to the lightning strike. We are so sorry this wasn't discovered prior to your arrival. The other issues with the golf cart were handled quickly when reported.
We did have a technician over quickly when the pocket door issue was reported for the bathroom. We were not aware that you had any further problems with the door, or we would have sent a technician right out to address it.
This is the first report regarding the toaster and the range hood, however with these notes, we have installed a new toaster and have scheduled an appliance technician to check the range hood and make any necessary repairs. We do wish you had made us aware so we could taken care of them quickly during your stay. We keep most small appliances in stock, as well as most kitchenware items.
Feedback is very important to us, whether positive or negative, and we take it very seriously. We strive to provide our guests with wonderful experiences and we are deeply sorry that you did not have the experience we want our guests to have. Sun Haven is one of our most popular homes and has a long history of fantastic reviews and we will continue working diligently to provide great experiences.
We do hope to have the chance to wow you on your next stay.
Perfect for three generations, with private master suite on first, and 2nd floor suite as well as kids’ bedrooms. Darling house with retro vibe and great location close to all amenities.
We loved this property. The house is so adorable and very comfortable. We especially LOVED the ice maker. It was utilized so much. I would stay here again.
We thoroughly enjoyed the home and all of it's furnishings; there was ample room for our family of 10 to be comfortable. The outdoor screened patios were especially nice areas for us to hang out. Would definitely recommend this home. Watercolor was a lovely place to visit and hope to return in the future.
The house was bright, clean, and comfortable. Communication with the host was great. The neighborhood and amenities and amazing. We had a great time and will be back.
We had 2 families staying in this home, 4 adults and 6 kids, (ages 13-16), and everyone had an amazing time! The house was very comfortable and inviting. there was room for everyone, and the common areas were big enough for all of us to gather for meals, and entertainment! We loved having the golf cart for the adults, and all of the bikes for the kids! We will definitely stay here again
We loved the location, golf cart and bright and open spaces in the home. The outdoor seating areas, kitchen, quality of towels and supplies were all great. The home was clean and well taken care of. The only draw back was that the downstairs bedroom mattress was not the most comfortable.
Our family loved our stay in this house. It was very clean and a perfect location to the pools and beach. We had one issue, but the manager was very helpful and responsive. It was so great to have the golf cart to use to get around and we hope to visit again!
house was nice and clean. property owners had it ready for us an hour early as well to accommodate travel. We had one issue, but they communicated well and resolved it for us. having the golf cart on site is a plus for sure as well. would definitely stay here again.
We stayed here with a total of 4 adults and 2 babies (18m and 12m). The space worked perfectly for us. Kids had their own rooms. And both were upstairs. There are 2 bathtubs one up and one down. The upstairs tub would not plug up which wasn’t a big deal for us bc my son refuses to sit for a bath anyway! We were happy to see toys and games to help entertain the kids. And our husbands enjoyed some very serious games of ping pong on the upper deck! Golf cart was extremely beneficial. We would definitely stay here again.
