DETAILS:
Welcome to 179 Pine Needle Way in the Forest District of WaterColor. This is a perfect summer vacation home for your family of up to six people. From the moment you step on the front porch, you will see that this home has been genuinely designed for the perfect beach vacation. Start your day with a morning cup of coffee out on the porch as you watch people drive by on bikes. Come late afternoon, it's a perfect spot to gather with an ice cold drink and catch up on how everyone spent the day. With four upholstered easy chairs and ottomans, it's a great spot to put your feet up and relax.

Step inside and enjoy the inviting beach home vibe and chic contemporary décor. The floors are all dark hardwood while the furnishings and wall colors are light, comfortable, and soothing.

The heart of any home is the kitchen and this one will not disappoint you. With white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and light countertops, everything you need is at your fingertips whether the kitchen is simply a place to serve catered meals or you love to cook gourmet dinners that will be savored. With room to seat eight, breakfast, lunch, or dinner can be a true family affair.

Step outside the back door and into your family vacation paradise. There is a small, enclosed back porch which leads down to a barbecue lover's dream — a huge grill area, which features a gas barbecue grill, additional burners for cooking, and a fridge. And just beyond is your own private yard complete with swimming pool! The fenced in back yard is also perfect for small children.

The bedrooms in this house are truly spectacular and offer a variety of spacious accommodations for your family or house guests. Two bedrooms — each with its own private bathroom, one has a bathtub and the other offers a small stall shower, and features king size beds. The third bedroom sleeps four with one set of bunk beds and a trundle as well as its own bathroom with stall shower. All bedrooms are light, airy, and guaranteed to offer a perfect night's sleep after a busy day at the pool, beach, or out and about exploring in the WaterColor community!

Our experience

Property was great had issues with toilet in one of master bedrooms. Chain came off every time you flush. Both Master beds were very squeaky. Otherwise, the place was very pleasant and super clean. Great location and being able to ride bikes or use golf cart was fantastic.

Great location but had some hiccups

Upon arrival, in the middle of the night, we entered the side door with alarm. Both kids were sleeping and the alarm just kept blaring. Turns out it was a pool alarm (not mentioned) that will only be shut off by pressing the little round button by door and closing the door. Needless to say, this took about 30 mins in the middle of the night to finally figure out while unloading and by now both kids were wide awake and crying. It would have been nice to have some sort of heads up on the checkin info. That’s wasn’t really a big deal but the next morning I had to call maintenance for a mop because the place wasn’t adequately cleaned. There was white film left all over the bathtubs and sink areas so i just gave it a quick once over myself - just Incase. We rented the house basically for the private pool. Unfortunately, the pool is almost useless due to all the mosquitoes. The moment we opened the back door you could see them flying around. We checked in on Wednesday and they couldn’t get someone to come spray until the following Monday. It did help a bit but still not enough to enjoy it like we planned. Our daughter is allergic and had over 8 bites just from one swim the second day we were there. The house backs up to some wooded area which is the cause for the mosquitos. During a routine pool cleaning the pool guys informed is they pulled out a baby copperhead from the skimmer - so just keep your eyes peeled. Lastly, we rented during the pandemic so planned to social distance as much as possible with the pool and cooking. The oven wouldn’t preheat all the way because the oven door wouldn't close all the way. All-in-all, the house is so charming and we made the most of it despite the issues we had. The rental company tried to accommodate all the issues in a quick manner and the maintenance guy was super nice. The location was great and about a mile away from the main watercolor pools and beach access. We probably wouldn’t stay here again just because of the pool scenario, however, if that’s not of importance to you - the house is really cute and love that it’s all one level with the kids.

Great Vacation Rental

Home was as described in listing. Loved having the golf cart! It made it very easy to get around. Would recommend. The only downside was that the outdoor kitchen and pool were essentially unusable because of mosquitos. Having the pool screened in would correct that problem. Also, while we were there the property next door was being renovated. The contractors would block the driveway almost daily. And, when they spray painted the front porch, they didn't hang any tarps up to keep the overspray from covering our black SUV. Luckily were able to get it off .

Beautiful house!

This house was awesome! We enjoyed our stay so much. The property was clean and well maintained. We had some great meals at the Red Bar and The Bay and the House was so pretty, we spent many hours just lounging around and relaxing. The management was very helpful and responsive and my kids had a blast with the bikes. So nice to hop on the golf cart and go to the pool or Seaside.
