Such a beautiful home, ideal location and well communicated instructions. The concierge, Melissa, was amazing and so helpful. Will definitely return to this house.
This was our first time in Watercolor and we could not have picked a better spot. The home was flawless. The sunsets from the deck were breathtaking. Home is a short walking distance from the center with restaurants and shops. Absolutely one of the best homes we have ever stayed at.
This Beach House was everything we had hoped for and more!! The house was beautiful and filled with beach views and is open so you can visit with friends and family and not be crowded! Water Color and SeaSide restaurants and shops are within literally a couple minutes walking distance. We will be back asap and will be def staying at this house again! This house was perfection!
We've been traveling to the 30A area with our family for ten years and thi property was one of the most beautiful, yet. Walking upstairs to the grand and open plan living space was breathtaking. We spent so much time on the porch just watching the ocean. The home accommodated two couples, grandma, and our two kiddos. Conveniently located within walking distance of Seaside and the resort. We will definitely plan to stay here again!
The location could not have been any better. You are walking distance to both Seaside and WaterColor. The private beach is just steps away from the back door. We had an amazing time.
This home was immaculate, spacious and had an incredible view from the porch. The home is a very short walk from both the Watercolor Beach Club and "downtown" Seaside. The property manager, Nada, was prompt, thorough and courteous in her responses. We couldn't have asked for a more turn-key experience in Watercolor!
Had a wonderful week at this property. The location can't be beat and gulf views from the kitchen/living area are fantastic. The property comes with four designated chairs at the beach, which is a big advantage for the 30A area.
This is our second stay at Second Sandbar. We love the location, the house and Watercolor. The house has everything we needed for the perfect getaway with family. The house is beautifully appointed and comfortable. The kitchen has all the needed utensils and cooking items if so desired. We will be back next year!
I have been coming to the area since I was a 6 year old kid. We have stayed all over through the years but never right here. This is an absolutely amazing place and was perfect for our family. Everything was handled efficiently and as presented. And while we tend to like to try new places, when we come back to this area we will most definitely try and stay right here.
