The house manager was very responsive and helpful. The home was spotless and gorgeous. The kitchen is fully stocked with all you could ever want and more. The pool is wonderful. We had our three children stay with us. Every day we rode bikes, swam at the beach and went to camp watercolor. Would stay here again.
Loved the house and all the amenities. It was a close ride/scoot to Camp Watercolor and the beach. Loved the community as well. Would definitely book again.
The house is perfectly appointed. We were a family of ten for Thanksgiving and loved cooking together, playing football and making memories.
The kids loved Camp Watercolor in the mornings - the slides and the lazy river, and the food and drinks.
The location of the house is perfect, as are all the amenities in Watercolor. We all enjoyed the GEM car, the pool and all the outdoor spaces! We took pickleball lessons at the tennis center, paddleboarded at the boat house, and rode bikes to Alys, Seaside and Grayton Beach Park.
The house is better than any five star resort. Steam shower, heated pool, espresso machine, pebble ice maker, high thread count sheetsâŠjust WOW!
Laurie is a delight and we feel so lucky to have enjoyed Thanksgiving at the Sandcastle!
This is our second year staying at this beautiful home! It is beautifully decorated and one of the nicest homes we have seen in Watercolor! Owner is super responsive with questions! I can see why she is gets a 5 star rating every time!!! This will be a yearly vacation for my family!
The home was even better in person! Unlike some of the other vacation rentals we have stayed it had everything (plus more) that we needed to enjoy our time. The kitchen was perfectly stocked to prepare big meals in.
We had 3 families-- each of the adult couples got one of the 3 bedrooms with king size beds that were plush and had ensuites. While the kids were able to all sleep in the bunk room, which they loved, with their own bathroom too.
They layout/functionality of the house worked perfectly, we were able to spread out when we needed too, nap in peace!, and also hang out together on the porches, by the pool, or in kitchen/living room together when we weren't at the beach or out exploring.
Ideal location to take the bikes or cart to literally EVERYTHING.
Laurie was a great host and we all agreed we would love to come back again!
We actually reserved and rented this property in January 2020 thinking we would have our annual family vacay in July 2020. Needless to say, covid health concerns, expected quarantines when we all returned home made this designated time not possible. Owner Laurie Redmond was extremely accommodating in rescheduling our vacay one year later in 2021.
Communication with her throughout the year and as we approached our vacay was so easy by email or text. She was always responsive to questions.
The home on VRBO site was so attractive to our large family. In person it was magnificent!
Every bedroom, porch, living areas and fabulous kitchen made our stay perfect! Watercolor Beach Club access, GEM car and 6 bicycles enabled us to get around easily and safely!
There is so much to do, beaches, kayaking, swimming in a multitude of pools along with our own backyard pool, a park at our front doorsteps, a bocce ball court, basketball and soccer areas for our preteens was so close! Watercolor Camp for the grandkids just a couple blocks awayâŠpriceless!
Family cooking and shrimp boils, birthday cake, steaks and fish on the grillâŠâŠ.all perfect!
Thanks Laurie!

House is beautiful, clean, well stocked and perfectly located. Laurie is one of the most helpful and responsive managers Iâve ever dealt with, and weâve rented a lot of vacation properties!
We had a great stay at the Sandcastle. The owner was excellent to work with and very responsive to any need. We had a wonderful time spent with kids and grandparents. We really enjoyed the kitchen area and it was great having a first floor bedroom for grandparents who aren't great with stairs. We wouldn't hesitate to choose this property again.
This house is in a great location in Watercolor (between tennis courts and Camp Watercolor). We have stayed in Watercolor many times and this house is a good oneâit has many amenities and features, including steam shower, sonic type ice machine, and a pool. Our family of 7 had a great time! Owner is excellent to work with as well.
We loved our stay-the house was clean and well appointed. The property manager was very attentive to a few issues we had during our stay. It was great to have the GEM car to get around Watercolor. Will definitely return and stay at this home!
Thank you to Laurie for all of your great communication!
Your house is beautiful, and even better in person than the pictures! The location is central to everything. The golf cart and bikes were essential to our daily routines and activities.
Laurie was always available to us for any questions or concerns we had before and during our stay.
We had an incredible 2 weeks and are already thinking about when we can return!
We love staying at this property. The owner is very helpful and responsive! It has a well-stocked kitchen, beautiful decor and all the amenities we needed. We would definitely choose it again!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed staying in this beautiful home! We had plenty of space and enjoyed all of the amenities the home provided. Loved the bed swing, the secluded feel of the backyard, and the proximity to the Camp Pool. My youngest was disappointed the Wii didnât work, but not a huge deal. Because of Covid-19, beach towels were not provided, so we had to buy our own towels at the store. We also had difficulty securing beach chair service, so we bought a couple extra chairs and tent so that we could set up our own area on a less crowded public beach. Overall, loved the house and would stay there again!! Donât want to forget to mention the amazing cleaning crew who cleans the house after guests leave. I accidentally left a very special necklace behind, they found it and mailed it back to me. So incredibly thankful for their honesty!!

We loved this house! It is so spacious. We spent the majority of the time in the house cooking, laying by the pool and enjoying the amenities. The location is perfect as well. It sits right across from a bocce ball court and is a short bike ride to the beach. It is perfect for big families or groups. Will be coming again!
This was our second stay at this property. The home and the owner are just fantastic...Definitely heads and shoulders above a typical beach rental. We will definitely return...Thanks so much!!!
