Home Sweet Home: A Note From The Homeowner- We bought WaterCastle with another family years ago and couldn’t be happier! From the moment we stepped inside, it felt like it was meant for us. It’s the kind of place where the pace slows, and fun starts right away. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach, Beach Club, and biking trails. We love being close to restaurants and shopping, especially the Wine Bar for pizza and drinks, with The Candy Shop next door for the kids. The Boathouse Pool and marina are around the corner, offering paddleboarding, sunsets, and pool time. We also enjoy taking the bikes or golf cart to Camp WaterColor, the tennis and pickleball courts, or Seaside. Inside, we’ve created spots that fit our rhythm—ping pong in the garage, porch hangs, game nights, and lazy breakfasts at the kitchen island. The house had charm from day one, and over time, we’ve made it our own. The neighborhood is friendly, laid-back, and full of people who love it here. WaterCastle is our place to reconnect, relax, and create lasting memories.

The house and location are great! Kitchen well stocked which is a plus. One improvement needed is the cleaning service. As well as cleaning upholstery on furniture.

Watercastle was perfect for our family. Spacious and in a great location. You can walk out the front door and be on the beach in less than 5 minutes! The house was beautifully decorated and had a nice homey feel. We can’t wait to go back! Royal destinations was a great company to work with as well. Very prompt in response and willing to help!

The house was perfect for a mother daughter trip. It was nice to have the ping pong table, golf cart and lots of space. The moms enjoyed coffee on the porch and wine & yoga in the crows nest! The location was ideal for us! Easy walk to the beach and shops and dining. The only thing we would suggest is to stock the house with essentials like salt, pepper and olive oil.

We do offer a complimentary start set of supplies that you are able to enjoy until you are able to make it to the nearby grocery store. Due to sanitary concerns, we are not able to offer spices.

Great for a large group. We had 5 children 5-14 years old.7 adults 32-83 years old!!! 3 people stayed in guest house over garage, it was great because they could come to main house by way of upper deck, only complaint the lower mattress was not comfortable for my 2 daughters that slept on it.

Thank you Patty for your great feedback! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Watercastle, located in the Watercolor neighborhood! This home is in the perfect location, just 4 minutes away from the beach and even closer to shops and restaurants! We are so happy to hear you and your family enjoyed the spacious carriage house. Watercastle is the perfect home for large groups of all ages, it sleeps up to 16! Aside from 4 complimentary bikes, the home also has the option to add a 6 Seater golf cart! Golf carts are the best way to get around Watercolor and 30A! We appreciate your feedback on the mattress and will be sure to consider replacing it in the future. Thank you again for your great feedback! We would love to see you again, at Watercastle!
We have stayed at many houses accross the country, and this house, in our opinion, was one of the best house we have stayed in. This house far exceeded our expectations. It was exceptionally clean and located within easy walking distance to the beach, shops and Restaurants. There was no detail that was not attended to. The house looks far better than the pictures. I had a couple of questions during our stay and was able to actually speak to a representative who promptly answered my questions. We will definitely stay at this house again when we return.

We had a fabulous vacation at Seaside in this house where we had 14 people for a week. The house has a great location! Maybe a 3 minute walk to Watercolor beach access and pool and 10 min to the food trucks. The house has plenty of bedrooms- the kids loved the bunk room- and the young adults loved the carriage house. We enjoyed the large living room and kitchen and spent lots of time on the decks. The lookout space was a favorite hangout for the kids. We loved the ping pong table and foosball! We did rent the golf cart for the week and that was perfect to take the grandparents around in and go to the grocery store. Beds and pillows were very comfortable, there were plenty of towels and even some extra pillows in the closets, which was nice. Downsides- the main downside was just that the couches and chair fabrics and couch pillows needed a good cleaning/refreshing. The sinks in the carriage house were slow and there was 1 full sized and 1 small fridge- so we just bought what was needed for the day. Probably not a problem if you have a smaller group. The management staff was prompt to respond, which is always nice. Overall, we loved the house, the location and the comfort. I would definitely rent this one again!

We are happy to hear you had a nice stay at WaterCastle, Darcy! We are glad you were able to take full advantage of the great proximity to the beach access, community pool. and Seaside that this home offers. We apologize for the hiccups you encountered with the couches and chairs and will certainly relay this to our team. We are glad our team was able to address any issues you had within a timely manner. We hope to have the privilege of hosting you here on 30A again soon!
The house was beautiful, inside and out and there was plenty of room for all of us. My only negative is that the cleaning crew didn't clean the floors properly. They were kind of filthy. Otherwise the location was perfect, so close to the beach and resort. Would definitely recommend it.

We stayed at Watercastle for our sons wedding. It was absolutely perfect. Very spacious, clean, comfortable. The outside porches were perfect for relaxing. It was quiet in December. The location was great, close to everything and easily accessible by golf cart and bikes. There are a lot of steps to keep in mind if you have an elderly person with difficuty walking. We will definitely go back

Thank you Leslie, for your 5 STAR REVIEW!! We are very happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay at Watercastle, located in Watercolor! Watercastle is just a small walk away from the beach, restaurants, and shops! This home is perfect for groups, it sleeps up to 16! The carriage house provides a perfect space for guests to enjoy their time together, but also time apart! Watercastle has 2 floors, 3 with the crows nest! The crows nest is the perfect spot to enjoy the sunset! Luckily, the first floor has 3 bedrooms, which is great for those that don't want to go up the stairs multiple times! Watercastle is the perfect home for any occasion! Thank you again for your amazing review on Watercastle by Royal Destinations. We would love to have you back again soon!
