We had a great trip! This property was so unique and beautiful. It had everything that we wanted and needed. It was located within walking distance to all the main activities and the clubhouse. It was an absolute treat to stay here! We all enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. Thank you!
This is a great property for multiple families. It is basically two separate living spaces and has plenty of room. It has just been updated, and the location can't be beat. We will look for it again next time we want to come to Watercolor!

Thank you for your lovely comments about this property, Kara! We would be delighted to have you come stay with us again!
Ursa Major/Minor was perfect for our stay in Watercolor. The accommodations were perfect for our group with the ability to congregate in Ursa Minor and rest in Ursa Major. Parking was easy and Exclusive 30A was great to work with and quick to respond! Watercolor is so beautiful it is almost hard to believe it is real and all of the amenities are just a few steps away from the house. We loved it!

Thanks, Kimberly! We'd love to have you stay again!
This house worked great for our group. Aging parents downstairs away from the loud kids upstairs. The house is beautiful and in a great location close to the beach. Walking distance to everything.
The house has a few small maintenance items that need addressing but nothing that prevents an enjoyable stay.

Thank you so much, Brandon. We loved hosting you, and we hope you come back soon!
The neighborhood is impressive. We spent a surprising amount of time on the bike trails. The beach was just a few blocks away. There were also great food trucks and shops nearby.
We booked both units to get the entire home for our family. Great patios. Loved watching thunderstorms from the perch on the roof.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. Excellent location and things were clean and cute. The layout is a little odd and the main living space has a bedroom kind of in the middle of the space separated by a screen. We made it work but it's something to be aware of.

quiet street but close to everything! the porches were most popular for our group. From the porch, you can almost always watch the park and its many visitors. The house layout is odd but everyone slept comfortably.

Rental location was great a few blocks away from the beach club. The house was missing essentials to cook with such as oil, salt, and pepper.

Reviewer Comments:
The house is located close to the beach club. The bikes that were included made it easy to get to restaurants and shops. The upstairs of the house is connected with an outside staircase which was fine for teenagers, they had their own space upstairs. Living room and dining room very comfortable to fit a group.

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed a couples getaway week-long stay. Ursa Major & Minor provided the perfect balance of both private and shared spaces. Space for the early risers downstairs to gather for coffee before an early morning beach stroll. While other folks can work upstairs in that living/kitchen. Dinner on the porch and wine in the crow’s nest up top! A nice shady walk from house to the beach, pool, shopping and restaurants. Highly recommend this unique property!

Reviewer Comments:
The outside of the house has been updated. The bathrooms leave much to be desired. Reminded me of college dorm showers from 30 years ago. The A/C worked nice, and always a plus for a beach rental. If you are a regular in the area, it’s not the traditional watercolor inside beach house, so just be prepared for that. I’m not sure if eclectic is the right word, but it’s different. Having the main area downstairs was odd for us, but worked. It was not ideal for the couple that stayed in that bed because no door to their (bedroom). It’s in a good location and it was nice to bring our small dog.

Disappointing Relative to Listing
Bit disappointed for sure, given how expensive the property was. The house smelled really bad when we arrived, which we texted management about but didn't get a response. We flushed out the disposal and some other areas and it went away after 12 hours or so (which was a lot given our stay was 72hrs). The couch was covered in stains and the pillows were clearly there to cover them up, so it felt a bit gross. The listing also is not very clear at all that it's two separate condos, with an exterior stairwell connecting them, and it does not make clear at all that the main bedroom is in the living room. Overall not very pleased, and particularly frustrated by how much we were charged in cleaning costs relative to the cleanliness of the place when we showed up.

We really do appreciate the feedback on this property and will make sure the entire team is aware. As far as the listing goes it actually does state that the downstairs is a studio apartment. I'm so sorry if that was confusing to y'all as that was certainly not our intent! A studio means all one room and the listing states "privacy divider" in the studio. This property is in the park district which is extremely popular because it's a 3 minute walk to everything! But we do price this home at a great value. We certainly hope you all enjoyed the beach and the wonderful amenities at WaterColor!

Reviewer Comments:
Great location. The property is quirky (having to go outside to go upstairs). Outside terraces are fabulous. Inside modern decor not my first choice. While clean and ready, the downstairs had a moldy odor probably due to a leak under the bathroom (should be easy to remedy). Upstairs was clean and fresh. Biggest drawback upstairs is lack of a place to put clothes for an extended stay. Only stayed two nights so we managed out of the suitcase.
