Wonderful home for large family gathering!

This home is the perfect home for a large gathering!! Our daughter got married in Watercolor and this home was the perfect place for our family to stay. We had more than enough space for everyone. The porches are such a great place for the adults to hang out and everyone really enjoyed the game room with Ping pong, pool, and a GOT pinball machine! Another plus was how close it is to the new Camp Watercolor pool/lazy river. The kids and teens spent a lot of time there -and the lazy river was a hit for all ages. It is also very close to the tennis courts which was nice. This is a great home in a wonderful location!”

Louisiana Purchase

I took a large group of women to Watercolor and stayed at Louisiana Purchase. The house was wonderful. Very large rooms well furnished, most with porches off of them. We all loved the house and the surroundings - close to lots of great restartants. You cam walk to the beach and to Seaside. The property management was extremely helpful. Kitchen was supplied well . All in all a fun experience. ”

Amazing House

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beach. The house comes equipped with everything you need, including plenty of bikes to get around. Great location right beside the tennis courts and an easy walk to the restaurants and shopping. Beautiful furniture, lots of porches, fun game room with ping pong, billiards and pinball machine. Had a blast and hope to be back!”
