Overall Rating: 
Watercolor never disappoints! Mint Julep was a good house for a much needed getaway with plenty of space to spread out and a perfect location for all that Watercolor has to offer! Overall, a positive experience. However, there were a few things that did not meet expectations. While the house itself was just right for our trip, it is in need of some deep cleaning and perhaps some refreshing. Granted, a house in the rental pool takes a beating and we were there after what likely was a very busy summer but much of the furniture in the living area and on both porches needed attention. The grill was not usable in its current state. Finally, the bikes that were availble to us definitely had seen better days! None of this was enough to mar the experience but probably deserves attention to live up to the Watercolor standard.

We had a wonderful stay in Watercolor! The house was perfect for our group of 10. The neighborhood was very quiet and we loved the porches. The Watercolor amenities were awesome! Of course we love the beach but the kiddos really loved all of the pools too! We rented a golf cart and it made getting around everywhere a breeze. We look forward to our next stay!

Spent a week here in Watercolor. Spacious house with good location to amenities & beach. A couple of slight negatives: mold on tile in master bath, 1/2 the burners with grill not working properly and microwave that would spark a fire in foods (!). Maintenance request also took ~24 hours. Maintenance guy was very friendly and promised to take care of the issues for next guest. House has 3 patios with one screened one and one with a swing which is very cool!

Great location for Beach Access and to avoid some of the crowds. Having beach chairs and umbrella available was really convenient!! Loved the house with two porches!

Vacation with some family. Great location! I agree with other review. Bed is really high. Would take that into consideration when renting again. Comfortable living room and patio. Upstairs comfy too. Could use a deep cleaning. Overall would recommend.
Property Manager Response:

Great house, super location near beach and restaurants. Comfortable furniture and our favorite-the screened porch. Only negative is the master bedroom bed is so high that you need a stool to get in and out of! Especially an issue for older people. Enjoyed our stay!
Property Manager Response:
We are so thrilled that you enjoyed your stay in this beautiful home! We could not agree more, the screened in porch is a highlight. We hope to see you back soon for your next beach getaway!
House has a great layout. It needs to have a deep clean. It was dirty and the sofas were stained. The master shower had mildew all in it. The cushions on the porch were mildewed as well. The cable needs to be updated to High def. Hope this will be addressed for the next guests.
Property Manager Response:
We deeply apologize for the frustration you felt during your stay with us in Watercolor. We will be sure to share your valuable feedback with our entire team in hopes to correct everything you mentioned. Thank you for staying with 360 Blue, we hope to see you again soon!
We absolutely loved our stay at The Mint Julep. All of the rooms were comfortable and floor plan was perfect for kids to run around. The porches on both floors were all great. This house was perfect for walking to Seaside and Watercolor inn and shops. We loved our vacation!
Property Manager Response:
We are so thrilled that you had such a wonderful vacation! The photo you shared is absolutely adorable! We agree that this home is perfect for families and is in a great location! We hope to see you all again very soon!
We had an absolutely fabulous week. And since we had been switched over from VRBO to 360 Blue I was VERY skeptical and SO wonderfully surprised. We had zero issues. The biggest concern we encountered was with young people riding bikes in the dark with no lights and carrying speakers playing very loud and vulgar music. Watercolor is going to have to address this issue!
Property Manager Response:
We are so excited that you had such a fabulous week! Thank you for sharing the picture of your beautiful family. To know that you were skeptical and ended up being wonderfully surprised with 360 Blue makes our day and we are grateful for the kind words! We love our guests and our level of service to them is our priority. In regards to the lack of lighting on the streets and the loud music-we have addressed these issues with WaterColor, and hope that it will be better next Spring Break. Thank you again for your feedback; we are really looking forward to helping you plan your next trip to stay with us!
