We loved the house. However, it was not clean upon arrival and we had to make two requests for it to be cleaned. We were very disappointed in the bike rental service as well. Overall we loved the home, but were very disappointed with the management services by Blue 360.

Great location and house for our family vacation

Watercolor is magical and we loved being there this time of year! The house was great! My husband and I went along with our 2 boys. We had extra space for friends or family if needed. The outdoor spaces were pleasant to have coffee or wine while enjoying being outside. In our opinion it’s the perfect area of Watercolor; an easy bike ride to the beach club, camp watercolor and seaside. The house was clean and well kept. Check in and out was easy and you can tell the company is large enough to professionally launder towels but still paid attention to the small details like fresh palm fronds in water in the dining room. The only thing that could’ve made it just a little better is the master was slightly more difficult to control the temperature than the rest of the house. It wasn’t uncomfortable in the August heat though! We’d definitely come back.

We had a fabulous stay at 9 Lyonia Lane! The weather in early April was perfect for swimming and activities outside. We enjoyed riding our bikes that were provided to see the houses, trails, pools, shopping district and beach. Everything we needed for our stay was provided and check in/check out was totally hassle free. The house was picture perfect, and the porches were dreamy! The porch bed and bed swing were favorite spots for reading in the morning. The walk into town was effortless and was a pleasant walk past the nearby tennis courts and through the picturesque church grounds. The proximity to Sea Side town lent itself to daily walks for ice cream! The location of the house is perfect because you feel you are in the serene neighborhood but are within walking distance to Sea Side town for shopping and within an easy bike ride to the pools, grocery store and beaches. The nearby tennis courts are fun to watch as well. We would definetly come back!

Sea Breeze review

Overall the house was good and as advertised. The floors were not clean upon arrival but everything else was nice and clean. I wasn’t too concerned because we arrived right at check in so maybe the cleaners felt rushed because they were still there working. One thing to take not of because I read it in another review but I brushed it off...The Master bathroom is not ideal to say the least. The shower is SUPER tiny that even my 6 year old complained. You basically have to stand with your nose touching the wall, and forget about trying to shave. The sinks are pedestal sinks (no storage) the only storage you do have is the medicine cabinets. There’s no where to set anything except a tiny 6x6 square That wouldn’t even hold a blow dryer. We aren’t ones to ever complain because we travel a lot and know not everything will always be perfect, but the master bath could use a complete remodel/reconfiguration. We loved the porches, the other bedrooms, and the proximity to the pools and to the beach. It’s a good half way point. Thank you for the hospitality!

Fabulous home. Great location. Perfectly stocked and best porches for hanging out with the family. The room positioning was great for us too. With the older kids all upstairs - the downstairs was perfectly maintained for together time. Easy walk or bike ride to everything. Could not have been more perfect!

House Needs Updated

We have been coming to Watercolor for 17 years. Unfortunatley, this house needs updated. The cabinets are peeling, bathrooms are outdated. The master has a super small shower. The best part is the back deck. It is a great space to hang with the family. The cushions are old however, and need replaced. The location is fantastic. The TV's are incredibly outdated. The master bedroom is a small laptop monitor. There are many nicer homes in the community I would recommend for the same price.

This house is awesome! One of the best things is the location. You are away from the hustle and bustle of Seaside being located on a quiet street in Watercolor yet only a 5 minute walk from all the shops and restaurants. Also a pretty easy walk to the beach. The house has a remodeled kitchen and was very clean upon arrival.

We had THE BEST time at 9 Lyonia Lane. We spent so many mornings drinking coffee and reading on both the front and back porches. We loved walking over to the tennis courts and biking to Camp Watercolor. The house was perfect! Our girls especially loved playing upstairs and sleeping in the bunk beds. The swing on the front porch was a hit too. It’s the perfect house for families. We were so comfortable. The grill was perfect for a nice, relaxing dinner. We will definitely stay here again!

We LOVED our week in Watercolor- absolutely perfect. 9 Lyonia Lane was truly amazing- highly recommend! We can’t wait until our next visit. The home is lovely- so beautifully decorated and comfortable- the owners thought through every detail! We adored both porches- used often along with the grill. Ideal location to Seaside, the pools and beach. Our favorite was the newly renovated Beach Club- I included a photo from the pool. Thank you for the bikes which we used every day. The management company provides the best customer service! Oh! Best 4th of July Firework Show we’ve ever seen (Seaside)!!!

Love the house. This was our second time in this house and fourth year visiting Watercolor. But felt deceived because we were not told about the main pool being closed. Big disappointment. We hung out there everyday in our past visits. If we had been given a discount or refund for part of our stay it would have made up for it but only got a call saying sorry. It was too late to change once we were already there. Not good business to not be up front with your guests.

We had a great time at 9 Lyonia Lane! The house was in a great location- an easy bike ride to all of the pools and beach. This house is perfect for two families because of the two master suites on the first floor. Our girls loved the bunk room, and we spent a lot of time on the two porches. The Beach Club was really nice and convenient and right on the beach.Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. We have stayed in Seacrest before, and although we enjoyed it, Watercolor is our new favorite place!!

It was very convenient with the app to get in and out and take care of things like the bikes and chairs. We will definitely come back!

We have stayed at many other properties in the area. A few using 360 Props. This is THE cleanest home we have ever stayed in, hands down. Not sure if its a new service u r using or if its just luck of the draw, but we were very pleased. This home had everything we could have asked for and very very convenient location to all that we like to do.

We had such a great vacation. House is gorgeous. We absolutely loved both the lounging porches. We enjoyed several meals and naps on the porches. House is on a great lot with a backyard area. Close to tennis courts. Short walk via trail to shopping, dining and beach at Seaside and easy drive or bicycle ride to Watercolor Beach and pools. House beautifully decorated with lots of nice touches to feel like home.

We enjoyed our stay and would like to come again. The House is very clean and well maintained. The 360 Blue App with all relevant information and the keyless door lock are very convenient. Bicycles are a major mode of transportation in Watercolor/Seaside. Resort Facilities, the beach and the Seaside Town Center are only a short ride away. We did not use the car at all. The perfect place to relax.
