This was one of our best trips, due in large part to our beautiful condo for the week! It was clean, well stocked, and in the perfect location for Watercolor and Seaside. We also had access to all the offerings (including private beach entrances) of the Watercolor Inn. The condo itself was very spacious and included a lot of ‘extras, such as a floor fan for the bedroom. The bathrooms were extra large and the master suite had an awesome soaking tub! The wrap around porch was perfect for morning drinks, overlooking the fountains in the park. Communication was excellent and the best part…the air conditioner was the best we have ever had!!! We hope to return again soon.

Thanks so much for leaving a great review, Karen! We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Mari Lee By The Sea!
I have stayed in multiple homes in Watercolor over the years. This scores low for dishes - almost everything is plastic and teflon, there were no basics - salt, pepper etc. and every other place I have stayed at least had basic supplies. The AC is NOT great - you are lucky if it gets to 68 by 5 am. It does not properly cool. The sheets and beds are poor - who in this day and age uses 65% POLYESTER SHEETS? The hot water is luke warm at best. The best thing about this is the location. It can't be beat as it is across the street from the beach club.
We enjoyed the location of the property and the amenities of the Watercolor Inn. The ice maker made very little ice and there were no dish towels in the kitchen. That is really my only complaint. Some nicer beach chairs would be a nice amenity. I have stayed in much nicer, larger properties in Orange Beach and Rosemary and I really appreciate it when they throw in a $10 pack of toilet paper and paper towels and some dish washer detergent.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this property. Just a block from the Beach Club entrance, and about the same distance from the Lake, we could walk or bike to either really easily! Everything was spotless and we loved being on the porch spaces for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Seaside was only a 3 minute bike ride away, too! The property owners were quickly responsive to the one or two small things we needed to have handled. Love the simple rhythm of life in this little corner of the world.

Thanks for the great review! Glad you enjoyed your stay at Mari-Lee By The Sea.
Come back and visit again soon!
Great location! You can easily walk to the beach club, beach and town square. Right across the street is Scratch bakery where you can get fresh coffee and delicious breakfast. It is also a short walk or bike ride to Seaside. Recommend getting bikes because Watercolor has beautiful bike paths, especially en route to Camp Watercolor. Condo is also beautiful and spacious. Appreciated the dedicated parking spot. Loved the patio and peacefulness of the area. Read the listing closely because you have to bring all toiletries, dishwasher detergent, clothes detergent, paper towels and toilet paper. They do not supply enough to get you past 3 days depending on size of party. Check in and check out are strictly at 4:30 pm and 9 am respectively. Also - cannot accept Amazon packages. None of those items were deal breakers for the location and comfort of the condo.
We had been looking forward to our family Spring Break for many months and had high expectations based on the listing. Despite that, the experience surpassed expectations. The place was modern but still cozy; location to Club, shops and short walk to Seaside was crazy convenient; proximity to bike rental and trails was great too; parking was easy with back lot and street parking; decks overlooking town or park were great for morning coffee with my wife and communication from rental team was good before and during. As expected, the third bunk room is very small - perfect for middle schoolers but tight for my high schooler but he made it work. The master bath is so nice we’re literally going to copy much of it when we finally remodel our 1990’s version.

Thanks for the great review! So glad you enjoyed the condo and your stay!
This place was great for my family of four. Excellent location and amenities. The rental is very up to date and we miss hanging out on the back porch. We would stay here again. The kids enjoyed the room and bunk room.
