This house was perfect for our family vacation! We had our elderly parents with us so it was great to have two full bathrooms and two bedrooms on main level. It was also nice to have my immediate family with kids on the second story. The pool was clean and temp was perfect.

Thank you for your review! We would love to host your family again!
Property was great everything worked, we like the location. House layout and sleeping arrangements were perfect.
Only negative would be the property condition could use some TLC, nothing major, its just showing wear/use.

Glad you enjoyed the home!! Thanks for staying with us!
We loved the house and the location :) Management was great too, very helpful and nice! The house was stocked with pots and pans needed to cook for a large family. The location was amazing, being next to the woods with a private pool was perfect. Only reason why I didn’t give this house 5 stars is because the cleanliness of the house wasn’t the best when we arrived. We really enjoyed our stay!

Thank you for your review! Please tell us when you arrive if the housekeeping wasn't at the level expected and we will certainly send housekeeping back out immediately so your vacation is not interrupted. We will make sure this doesn't happen again and speak with the team. Glad you enjoyed the home!
We had a fantastic time at this property! We utilized the guest house and it seemed it hadn’t been cleaned in a while, but that’s the only negative feedback I can give! Jessica was absolutely amazing!! I would definitely use this company again because of how great of a communicator she was!! Everything was there when we got there and the trip went to smoothly!
We had a great stay for our extended family spring break trip. This house was perfect for multiple families, with ages ranging from 75 to 4. The downstairs bedrooms are great for those that may have challenges climbing stairs, and upstairs has lots of room between the two queen bedrooms and bunkroom. The en suite bathrooms provide plenty of privacy, and the extra half bath is nice for large groups. This house was very functional and clean and we loved all the amenities of the Watercolor community. The beach and pools were all great.
This is the 3rd time we stayed at this property. We love all the room, the private pool and this year we rented the guest house! The man agent company was great! Well stocked house. Only suggestion is maybe some newer furniture in living area. Not very comfortable to sit on:(. We will be back! This is our go to place!

So happy to heve you back! We will look into some new inserts for some of the furniture. We have ordered new slip covers so this is a good suggestion to compliment that. See you next time!
House worked out perfect for our family vacation of 8 adults. Rented extra bikes to utilize each morning exploring the 30A area. Property in the rear of Watercolor which might not work for everyone but we loved it. Had a plumbing issue upon arrival and Sandpiper quickly fixed it. Sandpiper’s communication was outstanding. Will utilize this property manager again.

This is so great to hear! Thanks for the wonderful review!
This property was a good value for Watercolor but could use some TLC. Beds were comfortable but dining chairs were not. Can sleep quite a few but we had 7 adults and couldn’t imagine more people staying than that. May is the perfect time to visit Watercolor- beautiful weather and not quite as crowded.
Our stay was amazing. The house was well equipped and extremely comfortable. The listing description was very accurate. Everything was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed everything from hanging out in the living room for game night to puzzling at the kitchen table. The private pool was excellent after a day at the beach. I highly recommend renting a golf cart since the drive to the beach is about 8-10 mins. The house is super close to the community pools and also grocery store. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review of Cove Hollow and so happy you enjoyed the home and 30A!!
Parking a real issue for 2 cars, no porch lights, whole area just too crowded to enjoy, house itself nice

We are happy you enjoyed the home and will check on the porch lights! Typically February isn't that crowded and a great time to visit 30A. We are sorry you felt differently.
Loved the house, very clean and great kitchen for cooking large family meals. Only complaint was the TV carrier, Mid Com. There was no channel guide and we had to change from channel to channel one at a time to find the program we wanted, it was frustrating. Would definitely book it again.

Thank you for the review. I'm sorry you had trouble with the TV and channel guide. We are putting in a laminated channel guide to help future guests. We hope you come back again soon!
This was our second time staying here. We love the area and all the amenities the neighborhood!
We love this area and all the things there is to do. We traveled with our daughters, their spouses and our grand daughters! Second time staying here! It’s well stocked and very family oriented. Only suggestion I have is the furniture needs some extra cushions:).

Thanks for the feedback and we have ordered those cushions :)
Cute house! Our family was there for my son’s wedding so we rented the guest house as well. The property manager quickly responded and was very accommodating. I would definitely rent this house again!
Not enough time to enjoy this comfy & quiet property. Plenty of space and a great place for family.
The pictures didn't do it justice! 2 bedrooms on the 1st floor...perfect for those who can't climb the stairs. Walking distance to a great pool and the grocery store just a short drive away. Property Manager was super responsive...even when we had an after maintenance issue. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Thank you for your wonderful review and glad you enjoyed the home!
This was a great location in Watercolor where there was very little traffic, but was in close proximity to Eastern Lake, a short walk to the beach (via the bridge over Eastern Lake) and close to the Watercolor pools. We had 9 family members of varying ages (2-76) stay and the house accommodated us all very well. The kids thought the pool in the back was a great bonus.
We had an excellent time at Cove Hollow! The house is beautiful, clean & roomy. We rented the cottage house, and it was the perfect fit for my sister, brother-in-law & their 2 small children (earlier bedtimes than the teens). The pool is quite small, but it was perfect for a relaxing hang out after a day in the sun. The teens loved using the outdoor shower. The en suite bathrooms were great & allowed lots of privacy. We had 15 guests and we fit in the space well- no one ever felt crowded. We will stay here again!
