The property was very clean and well kept. It was extremely close to the beach and great access to all amenities. The beach was fantastic. We did not use the pools but they looked well maintained. The only knock was the washing machine made horrible noises and was very loud. Little water leaked from the bottom. We were very happy that we had one but tried to do laundry with still daylight out so we did not disturb anyone. Other than that great property.

Great property and we would definitely stay again! Loved the two levels and it was nice and quiet. Our only complaint was minor around housekeeping/maintenance. A few light bulbs were out and we had to go buy toilet paper because there was only one roll upstairs and one downstairs and no backups. I called and left a message asking to have some dropped off but never heard back. Everything else was fantastic.

Thank you so much for your kind words—we’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the property, the layout, and the peaceful atmosphere. We’d love to host you again! We also truly appreciate you bringing the maintenance items to our attention. We’ll make sure those light bulbs are checked and replaced so everything is in perfect shape for future guests. Regarding the toilet paper, we do provide starter supplies for items like toilet paper, which is noted in the arrival email. That said, we’re sorry for any inconvenience this caused during your stay, and we also apologize that we missed your call—that’s not the level of responsiveness we aim for. Thank you again for your feedback and for staying with us!

The unit is tired. The ac upstairs is not that good. We were there 3 days really and had to buy Toilet paper. We had two half rolls noOther, sad at this price point. No fitness center on property (not good a this price point). Our second experience at Water Color, not nearly as good as first!!!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your second experience in WaterColor did not meet the expectations you had based on your previous stay. We want to let you know that the air conditioning concern upstairs was addressed and resolved by our maintenance team. We also regret the inconvenience you experienced with the limited starter supplies upon arrival. While we do provide an initial starter set, we understand how important it is for shorter stays to have adequate essentials, and we appreciate your feedback so we can continue improving this. Regarding the fitness center, access and amenities are determined by the community/HOA, and we understand how this may impact guest expectations at this price point. We appreciate your comments about the condition of the unit and will share your feedback with our team for review and continued improvements. We’re sorry your stay did not fully match y

Great place & Great Location

Very nice condo with very easy access to Watercolor Beach Club. Located in the third building down from the beach club, this unit is in easy walking distance to Watercolor restaurants and shops. The unit is pleasantly furnished and the balcony areas are well designed for privacy with nice screening from neighbors.

Convenient and Cozy!

Location was FANTASTIC! We traveled with our 2 year old and walking to the beach every day was so easy! Literally footsteps away from the beach club. The watercolor amenities are fabulous! We enjoyed the cozy treehouse feel of our apartment. It was clean and comfortable and very well stocked. The views from the top patio were awesome! We had a great stay and will plan to stay again.
