Our three-generation family of 10 stayed in this home for a week over fall break and absolutely loved it! There are so many homes to choose from in WaterColor, and with a lot of time and experience staying in the area, here are some of the differentiators for this one:
1. The outdoor area is large and rare for a home of this size. The Weber grill is excellent, seating comfortable for a party of this size, and the relaxing water feature is an added bonus. In addition, the outdoor living area backs up to open space, making it very private. As a family, we spent a ton of time in this beautiful space.
2. The outdoor porches are outfitted with furniture that's actually usable. The floating daybed on the second floor, as one example, was a place where many of went to relax and read.
3. The location can't be beat. This home is a three minute walk from the Camp Watercolor pool, a five minute walk from the tennis facility, and a five minute bike ride to the beach/Seaside.
4. The kitchen is truly outfitted for a cook. Making meals in the house was simple because it was overstocked with kitchenware and supplies.
5. The lot that the home is situated on is a rare bonus because there is only a home on one side and the rest of the house backs up to wooded open space and trails. Many WaterColor homes have dark interiors because they're surrounded by other homes. This home, especially the kitchen/family room where you spend most of your time, is filled with light. In October (when we were there), you can see the colorful sky when the sun sets. It's truly a beautiful lot.
As far as the appointments in the bedrooms, living room, etc? They meet or exceed what you would expect in a WaterColor home. There was plenty of space for the ten of us in the house, and we could have easily added a couple more kids with the same result.
One more thing worth noting: our family has rented over 30 homes over the years on VRBO from both individuals and management companies. Our whole family would agree that working with Sanders Beach Rentals has been the best experience of any entity we've rented from. They are truly a five-star property manager, so much so, that we've already booked in WaterColor with them for our fall break next year (something we've never done before with any of the homes we've rented).
If you rent this home and/or work with Sanders, you will love your choice.
