The property is nice in a great location. There was an issue with the wifi not functioning when we arrived but the management company took care of it in a timely manner. Recommend this property and will probably stay here again.

You are required to download an app to get simple information for the property. A single email would have sufficed. Check-in: 5:00 PM check in sucks out loud. When we did get the code, two of the three doors did not function. One was deadbolted from the inside and the other completely inoperable. It took us some time to locate the third door by the parking spot to finally gain access. We alerted the management company the day of check in, and they did not send anyone until we called again two days later. Overall, check in was a cluster. The property was as described, clean but minimally equipped. NO BEACH TOWELS - the VBRO listing says towels are included, only to get a last minute text to bring your own! The property includes the bare minimum of bathroom towels for the number of people the beds accommodate - no service for our almost week long stay. The bathrooms have no mats, so you are burning towels just to have something to step on out of the shower. For the price and length of stay, ONE roll of paper towels, a few trash bags and only two rolls of low-rent toilet paper per restroom were inadequate. Bottom line, we didn't expect to spend a few hours of our vaca getting basic supplies for us and our guests. I really wish I could rate our stay higher, I do, the location and property were perfect for our mission. The terrible check in, lack of basic supplies, and count down texts for the early check out made us wish we chose differently. I recommend the property owner reassess the management company and amenities provided to your high-valued guests. I wish I could say for the property, we will be back, but we will not. Looking at different options for next year.

We had 2 negatives-for the amount people we had not enough paper products. We ran out of paper towels and toilet paper. Our unit had roaches in it.

The property was in a great location and perfect for our family to have plenty of space and fun. We enjoyed riding the bikes that were available.

The location was amazing so quick to walk into Seaside. The views are beautiful. Appliances all worked well. We were 4 adults and 3 kids with ample space. Community pool was warm and so close. Thanks for a great stay.

Only critique was regarding brief (ONLY 20 min) delay entry into the property. We know staffing is tough these days, but had frozen items when we arrived at 5 PM.

This unit fit our family wonderfully with my in laws, plus our college kids with their friends, and our tween. Enough space for us all. It’s a great location within walking distance to restaurants and shops and the pools. While the sand dune is beautiful that is my only thumbs down, was to not be able to actually see the beach from the unit. You can most definitely hear the waves and see a little bit of water from the balcony but no beach view. The watercolor area is a great place and the unit provided four bikes to explore which we took advantage of. We will be back.

I can’t say enough about the property management company and the ease of renting this property. They were very accommodating. The condo is in a great central location- short walk to the Watercolor resort and Seaside.

My family has been doing Destin/Seaside for 20+ years and this is our second unit rented at Watercolors Beachside. By far and away the worst experience in all our vacation rentals. We choose to rent these Beachside units for convenience to the beach and the amenities they provide. We pay for a “home away from home.” We arrived and the condo was as expected, spacious with a great location. We unloaded our groceries from Costco (stopped on way into Florida) and Publix from our coolers to the refrigerator. The following morning we realized the freezer and refrigerator were not cold at all and so we rushed to save what we could and placed everything back in the coolers and rushed to get ice. Threw out what was wasted. Contacted Royal Destinations who sent a repair guy out. He said he fixed it and for us to load our cold items back in the refrigerator so we did the shuffle again. Luckily, we checked the refrigerator prior to going to bed (several hours later) and could tell it was still broken so we pulled everything back out and rushed to get more ice (another shuffle). Maintenance came out the following afternoon and put a temporary (joke was on us) small refrigerator in the dining room and measured for a new refrigerator which they said they would deliver the following day. Nothing the following day - new refrigerator or communication. The following day I called them to find out we would be getting a new refrigerator on Friday evening (our last day). They arrived during our Friday dinner to install, oblivious to the inconvenience they were causing. Was offered a few hundred dollars (for the inconvenience of the week) off of a rental we’ll over 10K if I would not write a negative review. Keep the money. I would rather let someone else know what to expect if something goes wrong, and that is NO sense of urgency to correct the issue. Lowe’s, Best Buy, and Home Depot ALL had refrigerators available immediately but we didn’t have one all week? Other issues:1.) Incorrect Wi-if information given by Royal Destinations. 2.) Front stove burner only partially lights. 3.) 1 potholder for the entire unit to cook with. 4.) Son has 3 bug bites we had to take him to the Dr. for when we returned home. Dr. has diagnosed Bed Bugs. Contacted Royal Destinations and waiting for a response to their investigation. Based on our weeks stay and lack of communication and lack of action to resolve our issues, I do not expect any follow up.

The location was wonderful. Very close to the beach and private pool. The living room furniture is very comfortable and can seat a lot of people. Unfortunately, the unit was not clean when we checked in. There was sand all over the floor, coffee in the coffee pot and a disposable razor was left in the shower. However, management did respond quickly to this and had housekeeping come and sweep and the floors. Overall we had a very good stay, it is just disappointing to arrive to a dirty unit.

I have been traveling and renting condos for close to 40 years. This was the most gross and disgusting property I’ve ever been to. If you wereCovid cleaning all the handles etc there would be be a ring of hunk around every light switch and cabinet/drawer handle in the place. I would not give current housekeeping a hard time. This is years and years of disgusting funk splattered On the walls and everywhere else built up. This place needs a deep deep cleaning. It also needs a new air conditioning system. We loved spending over $7,800 and sweating to death in the 75 degree air every night. Absolutely insane. Also get a new keypad. It’s broken and not fun to be locked out with little ones. Beautiful location and easy access to the beach and 30A. Beach was right out the door. We loved watercolor.

Condo has an open floor plan and plenty of sleeping space.

The place was great. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is due to construction around the property and club house that I feel like I should have been made aware of. Once construction is done I would for sure stay again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the townhouse. It was centrally locates and well appointed. My only slightly negative comment, which the owners cannot help, is that you cannot see the beach because of the dunes. You’re view is completely blocked. My other note is that the elevator for the wheelchair is outside, so to get from the downstairs bedroom to the upstairs living space in a wheelchair, you have to go outside and come through the garage. It worked fine but when we arrived I couldn’t find the elevator in the unit and we panicked before discovering the community elevator outside.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is amazing!!! First the location is ideal, especially with small kids getting all the gear to the beach..access was so simple and then the private pool was so great to avoid the watercolor crowds. The inside of the property was very spacious and beautiful. We kept commenting on the couches and how everyone was able to have a seat, recline, cup holders....we all want this for our own home. A few minor maintenance issues that Royal Destination addressed. Bailey was also super great in booking and sent great communication. We would book this again in a heartbeat and we have been booking in Watercolor for 11 years. This was by far the most convenient property and even though not a stand alone house still was spacious for multiple families and kids!!!

My only complaint was that the kitchen was not as clean as I would like. The baseboards were not clean and neither was the kitchen floor. We did not have a broom so I had to use the vacuum for the hardwood floors. Otherwise, I would stay in this condo again and would suggest that the cleaning crew do a better job of preparing the unit.
