Amazing vacation in an amazing house!

Our family and some friends stayed in Watercolor the first week of August and we rented this beautiful home. Words can't describe how much we loved the house and how it elevated our vacation experience. The pool/hot tub, gourmet chefs kitchen, open layout, bedrooms, kids bunk room and entertainment system were some of our favorite features. The owner was great to work with and always prompt to answer any questions we had leading up to and during our trip. Absolutely plan on going back!

Perfect Watercolor !!

Heaven Can Wait is the ideal Watercolor home! So close to all of the pools and the Publix! Just a short bike ride to the beach club. Beverly was quick to answer any questions that I had throughout the booking process. The house was clean and VERY well stocked. The backyard splash pool was a bonus! A lovely property through and through. You will not be disappointed!

Perfection!!!

Staying at Heaven Can Wait was the best decision for this trip! The house is BEAUTIFUL inside and out. You can tell there was a lot of love put into making this feel like a home. We had more than enough room for our group and by the end of the week we all wished we could stay longer! The pool was a huge bonus and sitting on all the porches was very relaxing. It was a great location being close to the grocery store, yet right in the heart of the neighborhood where you could ride around and explore the pools and paths. Beverly was AMAZING and so helpful! It was such a relief to know we had a host that was available for any questions, we appreciated that so very much. We hope to be back, this place was such a gem!!!

OUTSTANDING!

This is the best quality house we have ever stayed at. There was a gracious amount of dishes, glasses, cookware, utensils, etc. I could go on and on about the quality of this home. High end appliances such as Wolf cooktop and oven, sub zero refrigerator, ice maker and wine cooler, Cuisinart coffee pot and Kruig coffee maker. Quality furniture, custom made drapes and bedding. The pool and spa were wonderful. The owners were just a text away and responded quickly. The Rosenmans know what they are doing with their rental and were so accommodating for our every need. We could not have had a better experience. Thank you for a great week!

Best stay ever!

Our family of 9 had the most amazing week at this gorgeous watercolor home. It was perfectly appointed and well located. Everything we could possibly need was provided in the kitchen and throughout the home. Proximity to seaside, watercolor, and the Publix was clutch. We enjoyed the pool and hottub and there was plenty of room for us all to spread out and enjoy some private relaxation time as well. The host, Beverly, could not have been more accommodating. She answered any queries promptly and was incredibly easy to work with. We will definitely be back. Don’t hesitate if you have a chance to book this property. You will be thrilled!

Heaven Can Wait - Perfect Family Vacation Home!

This property was everything promised and so much more! The age of our family members ranges from 10 to 70! Each and everyone had an incredible time. The home was clean and neat and included wonderful amenities. The spacious island kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances and the open kitchen/family room floor plan worked perfectly for our family. The private pool and bar-b-que grill were a hit too!The homeowners provided excellent detailed written instruction for check-in, check-out, and neighborhood amenities. We had a wonderful, memory-making vacation that will be fondly remembered for years to come. I highly recommend "Heaven Can Wait" for anyone wanting a combination of first class quality, location within the community, decor, amenities, and comfort! This property deserves 5+ STARS!

Heavenly!

Thank you for opening your gorgeous home to our family! As a design enthusiast, I was blown away by the your home’s beauty and interior design details. The layout worked perfectly for our family. Grandparents downstairs, kids and grands upstairs. Our grand daughters loved their bunk bed room! The location was perfect—one block from Camp Watercolor and an easy golf trip to Publix. This was our first trip to Watercolor and I was worried about being so far from the beach. But, with double red flags most of the week, we were able to enjoy all of the amenities this beautiful community offers. The best part was all of the fun memories made with our family!
