Hi, Brooke. We are delighted that Fins Up was the perfect home for your 4th of July getaway. Thank you for being our guest; we hope to welcome you back to WaterColor soon!
We had a wonderful stay! The home was well-kept and clean. The sleeping arrangements were comfortable. We really enjoyed the area and found this home was well-worth the money! Access to the Beach Club and beach was incredibly convenient for us, and would absolutely stay here again. My only comment on improvement is changing “Views of Western Lake” in the title as it is a little misleading. The description regarding “wooded views” is more accurate, though you are literally right on 30A so expect traffic noise during all hours. This still would not change my high rating though, as that was tolerable to be right where we were. Also, host communication with 360 Blue is A!!

Brought our 3 boys here for Spring Break and Watercolor is our new favorite place on 30A! Walking distance from condo to beach club was ideal. Quiet enough at night but easy to walk to Seaside for live music, food, and drinks! We would definitely stay at Fins Up again!

My husband and I spent 4 nights celebrating our 25th anniversary. We’ve been to Watercolor many times, but only the second time by ourselves. The location was perfect. We arrived and only moved our car once. Every thing we did was within walking distance. We walked to seaside almost every day and enjoyed the very short walk to the Beach club and the beach.

We had an amazing time and didn’t want to leave. We are already planning another trip back.The location was perfect and convenient enough to walk everywhere. It was clean and the pictures were an accurate representation. The only suggestion I have is that it might be time for a new mattress in the master bedroom. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a group of two 12 year olds, a 17 year old, an 18 year old, and two adults on a family vacation. We thought the location and quality of the condo was very good and loved riding bikes and running around the area for exercise. The food options were plentiful for our 5 night stay. My only disappointment was a lack of useful cooking utensils in the unit (for example the skillet was tiny) and major seaweed in the ocean during our stay. All in all we had a wonderful time and felt that as for family vacations (which we do a couple of times per year), this was the most "relaxed" I recall ever being.

The condo location was perfect but the condo pre-arrival cleaning staff could use some improvement. When we arrived, the refrigerator was not turned on. We turned it on, put our food in, but then it reset itself to "OFF" a couple of hours later. (Why was it off to begin with?) The kitchen floor was sticky and there was a sham with vomit on it in one of the bedrooms. I will give kudos to the maintenance team, as they came right away to take care of these oversights. I would stay at these condos again, but next time will request to ensure that the place is totally clean before we arrive. Watercolor is a fabulous family community and we loved the beaches, restaurants, activities, and the feeling of safety for our kids while we were there!
