Fantastic house in a great setting

Everything about the house was top notch. Plenty of space, well equipped kitchen, heated private pool which was fun in the afternoons and six person golf cart. Responsive help from the management team when we ran into issues with the garage code. Would highly recommend.

This is our third time renting from 360Blue and we couldn't be any happier with the service. Our first two rentals were in Watersound and our most recent was at Duneswale in Watercolor. The house was stunning and fully equipped to meet all of our needs. The Watercolor community was fantastic and close to everything. We cant wait to come back again next year, but hopefully for two weeks, as one week was not enough time in paradise.

Beautiful home. But the place was not well cleaned. For the price you pay, you should have a spotless place and excellent service. We ran low on toilet paper the last two days, juggling between bathrooms. We also ran out of paper towels and napkins around Wednesday. We asked for more but none were delivered. The floors were really dirty if you looked underneath tables and counters, etc. Leaves in the backyard had not been raked out so they constantly were getting in the pool. The pool lights were out so we had no lights at night. The replaced the lights on Friday afternoon. The doors on the entertainment center were falling off, creating a hazard for feet.

We apologize that you had a less than stellar stay with us in Watercolor! We are very sorry for the lack of cleanliness and maintenance issues you experienced and would have been happy to send someone out to address anything and everything that concerned you. We at 360 Blue strive for excellence and would have loved to have made that right during your time here. In regards to the toilet paper and paper towels, we only supply enough for the first full day or two, everything thereafter we ask the guest to supply. We will be sharing your valuable feedback with our team and we hope you can join us on the beach again soon!

Impeccable home! We conducted our ladies retreat, and DuneSwale delivered a variety of personal spaces for self reflection and the opportunity to power down. The communal spaces were equally welcoming. The home encouraged openness, authenticity and lots of laughter! Thank you to 360 Blue for your responsiveness to our guest needs...everything from towels to beach yoga. Your staff was friendly and professional. Thanks Emily for making our holiday a memorable one. See you in September 2019.

I've been to Watercolor twice before but for only a few days. This is the first time we came as a family and rented a home for a full week. The house was perfect and your application is so great as it offers all the information needed. This is an amazing area for a family and we want to come back every summer! We loved the swimming pool and so did Lila!
