Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was simply The Best! The home was well cared for & made you feel so comfortable during your stay. Floorplan was open & very accommodating. Too hot this year to enjoy the yard with fire pit & chairs but definitely enjoyed all the many screened porches & golf cart. Kitchen/dining area was large & nice to enjoy family breakfast & lunches. Host was also easy to work with.

Kallie’s Korner was a magical place for our family! It’s a beautiful home with plenty of room for everyone to have their space. Spotless and well stocked this home also has multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy including 2 screened porches, a fenced backyard with fire pit, an open front porch and large open upstairs porch with a giant bed swing! The house location is perfect for everything you want to do. We really enjoyed having use of the golf cart and bikes. The management company was perfect- great communication etc. Wonderful that each bedroom has its own bathroom! We will most definitely return!

Our Favorite House in Watercolor!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Kallie’s Korner is a family favorite! The house is gorgeous and has it all! There are two huge porches to choose from. The lower porch is screened in, while the upper porch is open air. The view from both is framed with large trees - it was fun choosing which porch we would relax on during the week long stay! The house comes with a golf cart and set of beach cruiser bikes - so you don’t have the hassle of arranging to rent these items separately. The house is located right by an entrance to the lovely trail paths that wind around Watercolor. Kallie’s Korner has a pleasant, calm, and inviting feel. We can’t wait to come back to Watercolor, and definitely plan to stay at Kallie’s Korner again.

The house was on a quaint street and easily accessible to the beach via the provided bicycles or golf cart. Everything was super clean and we loved the floorplan. The primary bedroom and bath were perfect and also had a private patio that was ideal to work and have coffee in the mornings. The front patio with dining table was great for breakfast or dinner while getting to say hello to the passers by. We loved everything about this house!

Nice Property with some minor maintenance issues

Overall, we enjoyed our recent stay at this home. We found the house to be clean and was a great setup for our group of 6 people. Having the golf cart that held 6 people was extremely helpful. It was challenging to find a home that was also pet friendly, and this home was great for that!Cons: while we did enjoy our stay, we did have several small maintenance items - more than we have typically had at other homes. While none of them were "deal breakers," it did feel like several small things. We called on a couple of the issues, and did receive a quick, friendly response, which was much appreciated. But we didn't want to have to keep calling and having people inside the home during our stay.On our day of departure, at 9am, a maintenance person just walked right into the kitchen unannounced with bags of linens! We did not have to check out until 10am and were off-put that someone would just come in prior to checkout without knocking!Maintenance items - upstairs shower drain in king bedroom was very backed up (to the point that it nearly overflowed when taking a shower); Roku tv did not work in that same bedroom (tried switching out the batteries and remotes); Clothes dryer did not work well and took hours for us to dry a load of laundry; Outlet to the outside golf cart was not working (we called about this and someone came to fix it, as we noticed the golf cart was losing its charge); Laundry room light burned out and bathroom lights flickering in bunk bedroom.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're so glad to hear that the home was a good fit for your group and that the golf cart was helpful during your stay. It's also great to know that the home being pet-friendly was a big plus for you! We sincerely apologize for the maintenance issues you encountered. While we strive to ensure everything is in top condition, we understand that having several small issues during your stay can be frustrating. We’re also sorry about the unannounced entry from our maintenance team—this is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we will address this internally to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We truly appreciate your patience and your kind acknowledgment of our quick response to some of the concerns. We'll make sure to address all of the maintenance items you mentioned to ensure that future guests don’t experience the same issues. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more seamless stay next time!

Great location near Camp Watercolor

House was perfect for our family (4 adults and 3 kids, plus our furry friend!). Great porch areas to relax, nice big table to eat as a family. Golf cart worked great and was super convenient to be able to get around the Watercolor area and Seaside. Loved that our kids and the grandmas could walk to Camp Watercolor, and even to Seaside using the nearby trails. House was clean and just as advertised. Would definitely stay here again!!

A little disappointed in this house.

First of all, we were told there were two parking spots for our two cars. One of the spots was taken by the golfcart that had to be plugged into the socket at all times when not using. This left us without anywhere to park our car. Very important to us because when we finally found a spot somewhat near our home (parking is VERY limited in Watercolor), we weren't able to use our car for fear of losing the spot. Secondly, we were never told we had to preorder the beach chair setup, so when we arrived, they were sold out, which means you have to be up and at the beach, in a long line, daily, to reserve your chairs. We needed six chairs, which cost $260/day! These came with 3 umbrellas, and they set them up way down the beach, in rows, right next to stranger's chairs, in the 3rd or 4th row. No way to get first row or bring your own chairs or umbrellas. If you want to do this, you have to set them up at a different location. Everything is very crowded in Watercolor. We only found one restaurant in the area that takes reservations. Mimmo's Italian Restaurant. Very good. Wait times for dinner is sometimes up to an hour. The golfcart that comes with this house is very old and in need of repair. The brakes needed replacing, which they couldn't do while we were there for the two week. The Watercolor pool's famous "lazy river" was broken during the last 4 days we were there, which made the other pools VERY crowded. There are never chairs or shade available.

Dear Susan, We thank you for taking the time to describe your experience at Watercolor. We always want our guest to have a wonderful vacation and we are sorry for any inconveniences you experienced at the resort. Yes, July is extremely busy in all resorts along 30A. Some have to purchase beach chairs a year in advance to get a good spot. I know this can be frustrating at times. We have also looked at the parking situation. You can squeeze a golf cart between the house and trash receptacle . It is a tight squeeze therefore; you can park 2 cars. Also, all repairs you mentioned about the golf cart have been repaired. These carts do take a beating late in the summer . Often times carts can not be serviced due to the quick change over on Saturdays in the summer. We are thankful that we were able to service the cart during your stay. In many cases when a golf cart goes down it takes weeks to get back if it has to go to the shop. We do our best when this happens to try and resolve any issues without having to remove the cart. As far as the Lazy river goes, from time to time something may cause guest not to be able to an amenity. I know Watercolor works hard to get these resolved as quickly as they can. We hope that you will reconsider Watercolor again in the future? We would love to offer you a repeat guest discount. Perhaps coming in May of the firs part of June be a better time. Its not as crowed . Again, we thank you for choosing Sanddollar One the best team on 30 A
