The best stay!

This house was nothing short of amazing. My family was SO happy here. The neighborhood is beautiful and has so many family friendly amenities (multiple pools, tennis, beach). The home layout is perfect and decorated so beautifully. We absolutely loved staying here and are already talking about when we can go back! Thank you so much for allowing us to use your beautiful home!

Family Trip to Watercolor

This is a beautiful property. It’s located on a quiet street, free from traffic and fairly close to the pool and camp watercolor. The house was well stocked and there was a lot of sleeping capacity. This was by far our favorite property at Watercolor.

Beautiful Watercolor Cottage

What an amazing house for our first time visiting Watercolor. July is a very busy month and the location of the house was perfect to escape the crowds and is situated back in a very quiet cul-de-sac. House is very spacious with an amazing open concept kitchen/family room. We definitely plan on visiting again!

Spacious, grand, accommodating home.

It’s an exceptional property. Very accommodating to our family of three couples and 5 children from 1 to 9. Spacious and 3 porches. A golf cart for that kind of group is important since the beach club is a considerable walk with kids. The walks to the Camp Watercolor and the Frog Pool are doable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
The home is nothing like it was represented online. Porches had not been cleaned, bathrooms were in disrepair. Linens I am assuming were clean but really didn't look it. Cushions on all the furniture were stained and needed to be addressed. The rug in the main living area was ripped and needs to be replaced. Just not up to standards for Watercolor at all. Management company was not interested in working with us and indicated that they had sent someone back out to clean it and it was approved but we couldn't even tell it. We ended up leaving the property for another management company. I would suggest that the owners inspect your property frequently as this management company isn't taking care of your home. I have attached photos for further proof that this home was disgusting. We were working with 30A Cottages but will not rent from them again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re so sorry to hear that your stay didn’t meet expectations — that’s never the experience we want for our guests. The homeowners had just departed prior to your arrival, and the home was in great condition. The guests who checked in right after your stay also shared a wonderful review, which makes us confident in the home’s overall upkeep and cleanliness. We did offer to send our housekeeping team back out to address any concerns during your stay, but understand that you chose not to move forward with that option. Still, we truly appreciate your comments and have taken another look at the property to ensure it continues to meet the high standards we strive for with every guest.

Summer Vaca

We loved staying at the Playmoor House. It is beautifully decorated and has plenty of space. The kitchen has all the necessities for cooking. The location is a quick bike ride or walk to Camp Watercolor pool and a 5 minute drive to the beach club. This is our first time to Watercolor in the summertime and we loved it. We have been 2 other times over spring break which we stayed at the Watercolors Resort and a different property. We would definitely consider this property again the next time we come back!

We loved staying here for spring break. The house is beautiful, well stocked, and had nice touches like the bundles of firewood for the outdoor fireplace and the bikes that came with the house.

Amazing Stay

We had a Girls Weekend and it was amazing!! We had 7 women stay the weekend and this house could not have been more perfect. It is beautifully furnished with every amenity you can imagine. It was chilly so we had a fire in the fireplace on the back porch and it was wonderful. The kitchen is well equipped and supplied. There was plenty of space for all of us to relax and plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms for privacy.

Beautiful, spacious house, minutes from anywhere you want to be.

The care that the owners and management company has is obvious from the moment you walk in the door. A generous amount of windows lets in plenty of natural light and surrounding beauty. The open floor plan was perfect for our group, yet the bedrooms are located in such a manner as to provide privacy when needed. We were initially concerned that this location would be a considerable distance from where we wanted to be, but that wasn’t the case at all. Everything was close and easily accessible and our neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. Thank you. We’ll be back.
