We loved our stay at Anchors Up! Plenty of room for our family and excellent location in Watersound West. Just be sure to bring toilet paper, paper towels and kitchen trash bags with you. They provide a little but not enough for a week stay.

The house was beautiful and very comfortable. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept well. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. We biked to the beach and the pool. Location is perfect for what we wanted: proximity to the beach and great food and walkable areas, like Seaside. We are already planning to stay again! Definitely recommend!

The house was spacious and the neighborhood is beautiful. The beach gear selection was great and appreciated. The mornings on the porch were nice too-some cozy throws would be nice for those visiting in the winter time. The pantry’s little hidden nook was a cute hideaway for the kids. Surprisingly, the toilet paper and paper towels were low quality. A trip to the store remedies that, but in a home so well thought out, it didn’t seem appropriate.

Beautiful and very clean house

We loved the house esp the beautiful screened in porch. The neighborhood is so nice and quiet. We went in August and the beach was not crowded at all. Short bike ride to pool and boardwalk. Also loved that they had bikes for us to use. Thank you!!

Fun Fall Getaway

We loved our stay in Watersound West. This house was the perfect size for our family of four and the bikes were a great perk. We rode them every day to the beach, pool and down to Seaside. We had one small maintenance issue and the property management addressed it quickly. We look forward to our next trip back!

Great stay love Watersound

Excellent property & location! The house was amazing. Came with plenty of beach chairs, toys, & even a wagon. Perfect layout for a large family. The only issue was... the couch was pretty stained and ripped. Made me feel a little strange sitting on it. Other than that, property was spotless.

Nice House

The house was nice and we like the neighborhood. Having the bikes was great as we did not have to bring or rent any. The only negative comment I have is this place is very nice, but comforters/blankets were Bed pads/liners?? very odd.
