Thank you for such a wonderful review, Michelle! We would love to have you come back and stay with us!
We enjoyed our stay and will consider Watchtower Walk again for our next stay at 30A. The home was clean, comfortable and convenient. It was nice to have the golf cart for trips to the beach club and Camp Watercolor. Also nice to be next to walking trails for morning and evening dog walks. Would recommend for families traveling with a dog. The garden area is a small fenced in area with turf grass which was great for our dog.

We really enjoyed this home as our home base for a trip to Watercolor. It is near the trails which makes it easy to cut through the neighborhoods to get around. House was overall clean with just a couple of issues which the property management team handled. Golf cart was great and worked perfectly. Grill is a little rusty but worked. Amount of beds were perfect for our group and we enjoyed the small fenced in area to let our dogs out to potty when we couldn't do a full walk. Would book again!

The house was beautiful and the whole family had a great time. The furnishings were updated and gorgeous. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pots, pans, etc. We would definitely stay here again. The dishwasher racks could use to be replaced, but we made do. Other than that small item, we really loved our stay and the home was gorgous.

This home was absolutely beautiful! Lots of features we will use when remodeling our home. The only complaint about this trip, and it has nothing to do with this home, is I wish we knew more about the area before the vacation. It would be nice to recieved recommendations about renting attachments that allow you to bike with little ones. The beach is not a 5 minute bike ride as told, it's longer and you have to cross a busy roadway. Directions to the nearest pool from the home would also help!

We are so pleased you loved the home - it really is a jewel! Gorgeous interiors, upscale fixtures, and great amenities. Part of what sets Exclusive 30A apart from other rental agencies is our free smartphone app. Features include all the information you may need about the home, GPS driven information to the nearest pools, restaurants, and other neighborhood hot spots, and information about concierge services like bike rentals, beach bonfire experiences, and grocery delivery all from the convenience of your phone. Our Guest Services department is also available every day to answer any questions and provide additional information such as dining recommendations or other items of interest. There is also information provided on quickest routes to the Beach Club via the Western Lake path, which is a 5 minute bike ride.
This home was clean and perfect for our group of 6 adults, 1 infant and 1 dog. Nice quiet part of Watercolor, great proximity to Frog Pool down the street, surprisingly quick and easy walk to Tennis Center, Boat House, etc. We’ve stayed in WC a bunch of times, but never in this neighborhood and I had imagined it being further to get to the older neighborhoods closer to 30A, but the proximity from the home to the bridge across Western Lake to the tennis center was great! We didn’t use the golf cart too much, but it was helpful to have access on a few occasions. Kitchen was very well equipped - just a huge supply of dishes, glassware and silverware so you didn’t have to run the dishwasher constantly. Love the screen porches and used the open side porch for family hangouts all day long. Guest services were very responsive for the few small issues we had and rectified everything quickly.

Reviewer Comments:
Many windows needed window coverings. Some bedrooms were a good size, the bunk rooms are acceptable for small children- but not for teenagers. The bathrooms are VERY small, as are the closets. One bunk room needed the poles to move the window blinds up and down. some of the doors to the bedrooms were broken or did not even have a way to close the door and keep it closed without propping something up to keep it closed .
Response from VrboOwner on 9 Sept 2022
Thank you, Courtney. We have since fixed these issues and would love for you to come and stay with us again.
Overall a very nice place to stay. There was a few hiccups, though. There were not enough wristbands for the number of people that house can hold (apparently based on how Watercolor classifies parts of the house as a “room”). However the owners did their best to work out a solution, albeit about 2 days into our trip. Tip: If booking in Watercolor don’t just look at beds/rooms, also look at number of wristbands allocated. Also there were a few things that needed service or to be fixed. Having rented vacation homes before this seems quite common, and the management company was fast to get these remedied.
I loved that the house had a golf cart we could use, and will definitely look for this feature in my next rental in the area, as it made it super easy to load the kids, boards, and cooler and get to the beach or Camp Watercolor.
Would come back if the price is right.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Feb 2023
Thanks for the feedback, Benjamin. I wish we were able to provide more bands per household, as the number is regulated by the HOA. We appreciate your understanding as we worked out a solution. Thank you for choosing to book with us, we would love to have you stay again!
