Thank you for choosing to stay and book with Scenic Stays 30a. We are thrilled to hear about your great experience at this property. We look forward to your next trip in the near future.
Super location and so fun with bike rental! Watercolor access was fantastic. Small issues with WiFi and electric on second floor, but not enough to ruin our stay. Hope to be back soon.

We are so sorry to hear about wifi and electric! We are happy to hear your stay was still great! Thank you!
This property is well maintained and it was spotless when we arrived. The house is well stocked and has thoughtful extras (ice machine, board games, extra pillows, fan). The only warning is that the top bunk in the bunk room is very close to the ceiling and I wouldn’t recommend having kids sleep up there but only than that the house is perfect for a 30a getaway. Close to everything, easy to get in & out, quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend this property!

We had a wonderful stay, despite the reasons for us being there (funeral). Only downside was the shower stopping up. Looks like previous stays brought in a lot of sand.

We have been coming to Seaside/Watercolor once a year for 22 years to bond with all our children and grandchildren. It’s a very important experience to us. This house was nice and large but had a nonfunctional freezer and a broken step to the screened porch. Everything was clean except the main floor. It was probably swept but not mopped.

Thank you so much for staying with us! Feedback like this truly helps us pinpoint where to improve! We have since had maintenance out to fix these issues for future stays and would love to host you again!
The house was fantastic and beds were so comfortable. A little far from the beach but nothing a short car ride or bike ride did not take care of.
Was told by Scenic Stay that there was 6 bikes. When we got there, there were only 5 bikes. I called Scenic Stay. They said the listing says 4. Told her what I was told and she said she would check into it and call me back. Never heard back. Rented the 6th bike. Dishwasher took a little bit of a special touch to get it to run. Outside of just those two little things, our stay was perfect! Would highly recommend this house.

Beautiful, Well Maintained Property
I enjoyed my stay at this quite rental. While it was just me, I do not hesitate to recommend this house for larger groups. I loved the children's bedrooms with the bunk beds. Adorable. Great family and play room upstairs.

Been coming to 30A every summer for 8 years. My family loves staying in Watercolor, I suggest going to the beach club via Western Lake drive instead of 30A because the traffic in Seaside starts early! We enjoyed our stay and management was very responsive to any need.

Dear Amber,

Nice house with well stocked kitchen. We go every year or so to this area/ and have stayed in many vacation rentals in this area. My only complaint is I wish people would stop listing closet like room s with a bunk bed as a bedroom. It was clearly not a bedroom ; just list it as what it really is. One of the bathrooms had a tub clogged with hair; would not drain. Management was very prompt to fix that problem. We appreciated that. We found the other bunk room with triple bunks cute but the top bunk s would not fit even a seven year old; they would sit up and hit their head on the ceiling. So this made two beds really unusable.and our kids love bunks. We didn’t feel the house could sleep the maximum that it listed. It’s a lovely home though! Kids just slept on the floor!

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay! The home and location is truly fantastic for your beach vacation. We do include the bunk room as a bedroom only due to it being nestled away from a common space. We are also so glad to have maintenance out in a timely fashion as we take pride in rapid responses to any issues that may arise. We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
We have stayed in WaterColor many times over the years but this was our first time in the Crossings section. It was REALLY far from the beach and town center. We loved the house but we definitely will not stay that far away again. The house had super comfortable beds and a great floor plan. The rental company was extremely helpful as well.

Beautiful house. Very responsive & helpful management
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was very clean, comfortable, and spacious. The house is beautifully decorated and updated. We did have a few problems. The upstairs A/C was not working when we arrived. We contacted management and the A/C was fixed that night. We didn’t have WiFi for a few days. It was a little more complicated to resolve, but management was dedicated to giving us access to WiFi. A broken tv remote and a blender without a blade were replaced very quickly. Management always responded quickly and made sure the issues were resolved. We were happy to discover beach towels, bikes, and boogie boards at the house. I definitely recommend this house and would love to stay there again!

Great well-maintained property. Home layout worked great for large group. Kitchen was well stocked, however, needed a blender. A little further from the beach than we typically like to be, but we made it work.
