This was perfect for our family. My sons and their children, ages 4-14, all enjoyed the amenities of Watercolor. My oldest grandson enjoyed fishing in the pond, which was about a block away. Convenience to the camp was a plus also. The house was spacious and beautiful. We had a problem with the air when we arrived and someone was there within 15 minutes to fix it. The only suggestion I would make is to have an 6 seater golf cart, since not allowed to rent another one.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review! We're so glad Better by the Beach was the perfect home for your family and that everyone, from your youngest grandchildren to the adults, enjoyed everything WaterColor has to offer. It's wonderful to hear your grandson had fun fishing in the nearby pond and that the home's proximity to Camp WaterColor made your stay even more convenient. We're also happy our maintenance team was able to respond quickly and get the air conditioning issue resolved shortly after your arrival so you could get back to enjoying your vacation. We appreciate your suggestion about a larger golf cart and will be happy to share it with the homeowner for consideration. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. It was a pleasure hosting your family at Better by the Beach. Thank you for choosing Dune Vacation Rentals, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable stay on 30A!

Perfect property location close to Camp Watercolor. Never used our cars once with bikes and golf carts being provided. Grocery store and other shopping is close. Lots of kids books, toys and TV options. Check in and communication were beyond expectation. Alarms on all doors that lead to pool was ideal since we had four toddlers. Property was very clean. We cooked several meals utilizing a very well stocked kitchen. Will return!!
