Great location

We enjoyed staying at this beautiful home that was convenient to both Watercolor and Seaside. It rained everyday of our trip but we had a great time spending time as a family in the home playing games, cooking and watching movies. The house was perfect for our family as my mother had a nice bedroom and bath on the main level and my kids loved the bunk bed room. Access to a golf cart, bicycles and the beach club also made our trip more enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Great VRBO in Watercolor, FL

Property is very cool. Open living space with kitchen. Great front and back porches with nice BR on first level. AMAZING Master Suite on 2nd level along with the other guest bedrooms. Plenty of bathrooms. We also enjoyed having access to the golf cart. A bit easier to get around in than a car. Finally, the response from owner/manager was fantastic. I usually heard back from them within a minute or two!

Great property and rental

This is the perfect house for a family with children. It can comfortably sleep 8 people including children and the layouts of the rooms provide flexibility in sleeping arrangements. The house is even more beautiful in person then the pictures. It was so nice to have some starter amenities (dishwasher pods, toilet paper, trash bags, etc..) already there for us. There were even plenty of beach toys and chairs left behind by others to enjoy. This property is super close to camp watercolor and right next to Publix. The golf cart was perfect for our large group and the bikes were an added bonus. Overall this was such a great family vacation and we would absolutely stay at this house and with Sanders Rentals again!!!

extended family vacation

Beautiful family home with plenty of space and bathrooms for everyone! Love the bunk room! Only complaint was the backyard was not pet friendly and two families brought dogs and picked this house with fenced in yard specifically for the fenced in yard! disappointed to find a "swamp" instead... Had a minor issue with golf cart on the first day but management was QUICK to fix it and everyone was HAPPY afterwards!! Loved the location of the property - close to all the pools and a short cart ride from the beach...which the kids loved. Very easy to book and check in and out of was super simple which I personally find a vacation in itself - -

This property was beautiful! It was the perfect size for us and we really enjoyed having a backyard. The fire pit was a wonderful touch that we used quite a few times. The kitchen had everything we needed cooking wise! The place was very clean and smelled great when we arrived. The bunk room was so cute and perfect for our 4 & 5 yos.

Comfortable House in Convenient Location

We have stayed at various Watercolor properties over the years and chose this Royal Fern location because we decided to bring our dogs, which this property allows. The fenced back yard and closed porch worked well for us and the house was clean and spacious. The golf cart was a great feature as it allowed us to get to the beach and to the tennis courts easily. We comfortably fit 6 adults and 2 teens, and 2 big dogs without any issues.
