The house was so incredibly beautiful and perfect for our two families. It was cozy and relaxing. It included everything we needed for daily cooking. The location was perfect for us bc of the quick walk to the club and easy access to the main road. We will definitely stay here again!

Awesome news! Please come back again - Exclusive 30A
We needed a centralized place where our daughters could have freedom to explore on bikes and we moms could swing on the porch ant talk for hours. Close to everything and felt like a home away from home.

Great house located extremely close to watercolor club and beach! Only about a 5-7 minute walk. Only issue was small kitchen (all adults so it was a bit of a cram) and lack of cleaning supplies/cooking supplies. Other than that it was great! Loved the loft upstairs if you have kids.

I have never stayed in a prettier Watercolor home. The porch is perfect and now I want to build a similar one at my own home. We walked or took the bikes everywhere we wanted to go. The beds were very comfortable too. We want to come back soon!

We're so glad you enjoyed it! Hope to have you back!
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. It was so cute and charming. A short, 3 minute walk to Watercolor Resort was really convenient. We used the bikes that came with the home and rented a couple extra. We also rented a golf cart during our stay which made getting around Watercolor and Seaside a breeze. We rented kayaks and efoils at Western Lake and played tennis at the tennis center. All in all an amazing trip. This home was right in the middle of it all.

Excellent property. We really enjoyed our stay, and would return without question. Note the front room rug is quite slippery and poses a genuine safety risk. Placing a pad underneath would solve the problem by stabilizing the rug.

Exactly what we wanted!
The home on Buttercup was exactly what we had hoped for - just like the photos! It was spotless upon arrival - clean, immaculate and beautiful! The owners had fresh palm leaves throughout the home, and it just felt warm and inviting with their little touches. The home is so close to the beach, club and seaside - we could easily walk everywhere- prime location but not a lot of cars or traffic. Amazing front porch, den, and bedding. Lots of character. We love, love this home and hope to stay again soon. Thanks Exclusive 30A for making everything so easy and tasteful.
