106 Spartina Circle is overall a nice home. It is well located across the street from Camp Watercolor so it is great for young kids. The layout is also nice. The home itself needs some maintenance. There was a broken board on the deck which was a safety concern especially with young children. The maintenance company did come replace the board 4 days into our trip. There was a sewer smell in the downstairs bathroom at certain times of the day and the guest house was musty. The return air vents were dirty and several lights needed bulbs which we bought. None of the dimmers on the light switches worked. It just seemed like the home needed some TLC and a deep clean. I am sure this is a challenge when you have back to back renters. For the money, I was hoping for better.

Overall, this property was good. It accommodated our group of 11 well as far as size. The bed layout was not ideal for our group as we didn't realize the beds were only Full not Queen (except for the master). The master was roomy but being on the 2nd floor was not easy for 70+ year old grandparents to maneuver up and down. The bathroom was nice, but the hot water broke the day we got there so they had to shower in other rooms for a night or 2. They did remedy the problem with 2 days. The location was excellent however, literally steps from the Camp Watercolor pools which we used daily. Not a very far bike ride to the beach, Publix, or the boathouse 5-6 mins or so. The bikes however were a major issue. They are property of the house and not rented out through the bike agency there so since 4 of them were not ridable (gooey handles, rusty tire, rusty frame and chains, flat tires), we had to go rent more bikes to accommodate us (which was not cheap when you're staying a week). Another issue was that although the golf cart had been advertised as an add on, it wasn't until we had already booked the property that they told us it actually wasn't available. This was annoying since we had elderly grands with us and a nephew who was recovering from surgery. To add to the frustration, the very nice golf cart was parked in one of the very limited parking spots at the house. We couldn't move it since it was locked and covered. There was only enough space for maybe 3 cars if you played tetris but with the golf cart taking up one it made a few family members have to park really far away. It was also difficult to get property management to give us more than 2 parking passes, which they never did do. There were a couple maintenance issues that will need to be fixed before renting, a big hole in the flooring outside of the carriage house, wobbly barstools, and most of the locks on the exterior doors will randomly lock you out/not open. The grill was nice to have, and we used it quite a bit. Also, the carriage house was a blessing to get away from noise. So, overall, we did enjoy our stay. Most of the issues we could overlook because we were just happy to be with each other. I would say that if the issues mentioned were resolved, I would recommend this house.

Location great. Overall great house - swing chairs are fun; a few issues of note biggest one being internet which was shotty - welcome packet says internet outages not their issue and someone did try to come to fix but it was a nagging problem throughout the week - on avg. had to restart internet at least once per movie when watching Netflix at night. Also ice machine nice touch but note it’s loud when the water is filtering into the ice maker if you’re sitting in the kitchen. Only other point that they may want to fix are the bikes - which were all pretty banged up: overall hard to pedal, two had handlebars that had sticky gunk on them - listing said there were 8 that came with the house but only 4 there and really only 1 that was rideable - ended up renting bikes down the street for $75 each for a few in our group. Otherwise great trip.

I would definitely recommend this home in Watercolor. The layout of the home and location near the community pool were fabulous. We did not want to come home! The only hiccup we had was getting the codes for checkin. That is an easy fix for the rental company and did not materially impact our stay. We also had to ask for a bike pump bc all of the bikes’ tires were flat. But I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
