This home could use a little better organization of the kitchen but most of all the house needs to have a golf cart as part of the rental. I would rent this house again but making sure I had a golf cart would be a must.

This home was perfect for 2 families with 6 children—great location and close to Camp Watercolor! Renting a golf cart is a must, which we did. A digital keypad would have been much easier for guests. Also recommend perhaps stocking the kitchen with more essentials. Overall, it was an excellent stay!

We stayed in this beautiful home March 2024. It was a great location as it was very close to camp watercolor for our grandchildren. Large bedrooms and a spacious kitchen. Beautiful screened in porches. Living space with television was a little small to accommodate our group for comfortable sitting. We did rent a golf cart as well which was a must for traveling to the beach.

We had a wonderful stay at this house. It was our first time to stay in Camp District and it was the perfect location to be close to Camp but also near the Beach Club, Seaside and the Town Center. The house was perfect for us, we had so much room for the 4 adults and 3 kids. My only recommendation would be to put a digital lock on one of the doors and the physical key was kind of a headache. Very small problem, just a suggestion. The house is wonderful!
Property was clean, layout was perfect for our group. Would stay again!

Great stay for Songwriters at this home. Lots of advance communication made it a seamless experience.
First time to watercolor and it was amazing. The house was incredibly spacious and was just a great home. The home was prime location to everything including publix and seaside. i do recommend getting a golf cart which we did and i highly recommend that! We had our family car there but with the golf cart we did not use it once.
Great home and great trip. We will definitely be back!
This was our first time to Watercolor in 10 years and what an outstanding job they have done with the Community. The Camp District is great for younger kids and we were within walking distance of the Camp District Pool. The House is fabulous because it has 4 Bedrooms, each with a King Bed. Most of the 4 bedroom rentals do NOT have King beds in all 4 Bedrooms, this is a huge plus. In addition the Kids bunk room is perfectly situated on 2nd Floor. Everything in the Unit worked great, had a small issue with downstairs TV remote, but they came to fix during out trip. We rented an electric golf cart from 3rd party and this was necessary to get to and from beach with young kids. Overall this is a fantastic unit and one we will rent again

We came as a group of 9 for spring break and a 40th birthday. Our group included 9 people with kids from 5 years old to 15 years old. The location is perfect and convenient. The house was clean and laid out nicely to give the younger kids and teens the space that they needed. The porches are wonderful front and back and upstairs and downstairs. House was clean and had everything that we needed except a crockpot pot which I purchased and left for future guest. We would definitely book this house again. My only complaint is the 9 am checkout. 10am would have allowed us less rushing the day that we left. We had to make one maintenance call for broken bikes, they responded right away and the bikes were repaired quickly.

Reviewer Comments:
Pros - This home is in a great location in Watercolor, close to pools, Publix and other amenities. The bathrooms are beautiful with large showers and lots of counter space for sharing. The kitchen is also spacious with high end appliances. The property management company is top notch. We had great communication both before and during our trip. We had a few minor issues that were resolved promptly and efficiently. Con’s - If you are traveling with a large group, there are some challenges. For one, the living room space and furniture is sparse. We traveled with a group of 12, 9 of them were boys/men aged 16-55. The sofa seats 2- 3 at most, which made it an uncomfortable space to hang out together in the evenings. The kitchen is also very under equipped for a home that sleeps 12. Trying to cook multiple meals for 12 proved difficult using the equipment provided and we eventually gave up and resorted to ordering more take out. This may or may not be important, depending on the size of your group. Summary - this is a lovely, beautiful home with great access to Watercolor’s top notch amenities. It’s managed by a very professional group that operates with great clarity and communication. Consider the size of your group and what you may like to do in the home - hanging out together, cooking meals, etc. to determine if it is the best fit. We had a great time at Watercolor and will look forward to a return visit soon!
House was fantastic! Location was great!! Amenities were perfect!!! Awesome time!!

We had two families stay here. One from TN and the other flew in from AZ. It was spacious enough for all. The home is decorated beautifully. Beds were comfy.
It was good! The house was adequate for us all. We had to rent extra bikes and a 6 seater golf cart. We also had to furnish spices, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dish and dishwasher soap, bath soap, and more. It was on a busy street.
Home is gorgeous! Space is perfect - all king masters with private baths. Upstairs loft and living space add even more space and privacy for teens. Outdoor spaces for everyone. Great location! House does not have a golf cart but we used the courtesy golf cart shuttle and it was so fast and easy and Jeff and John are a delight! The beach club is not far by bike or shuttle. We would stay again!
Top notch property had all we needed for a great stay. Family and kids loved it.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay @ 1312 Western Lake Drive in Watercolors. The selling point for us was all the bedrooms had king beds. Everything in the house was clean and well stocked. The house is very close to several pools and within walking distance to Publix. Beach Habitats 30A was very responsive through the entire process of renting and checking out. They communicated very well as far as the "why's" of several of the rules of the property and Watercolors which was appreciated. Referrals to baby equipment rental and golf carts was very helpful and utilized. The house was very quiet considering we had 8 adults and 4 children under 4. We enjoyed our stay very much.
We had SUCH a wonderful time....the location was ideal for kids. The Camp Watercolor pool is only one block away...this pool is perfect for kids of all ages. And the house was BEAUTIFUL...even better than the pictures. All of the outdoor porches were utilized on a daily basis. We will be back!!

The house was lovely for our girl's weekend in 30A. All of the king bedrooms had their own ensuite bathroom, which we we really enjoyed, and there were several indoor and outdoor areas to hang out. We took full advantage of the Watercolor amenities and loved being able to bike aware from the central location of this home. Kitchen was not equipped with any cooking ingredient staples, so be prepared to buy/bring them. Same goes for beach towels, you'll need to bring your own.
