Gorgeous Home and Wonderful Memories

We had an amazing Thanksgiving with our extended family at Heaven Can Wait. The home is beautifully decorated and everything we needed was there. The neighborhood is picture perfect and the beaches look like the Caribbean. The owner was great to communicate with and even made sure we had a turkey roasting pan! We loved it!

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!

Fabulous house and location!

We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home! The house was perfect for our two families and made our New Year's vacation better than we expected. Not only was the house amazing, we enjoyed the very close proximity to Camp Watercolor and the park. Plus, it was an easy bike ride to the tennis courts, beach, and restaurants. The owners were great at communication and very responsive. We could not have been happier!

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!
