WaterColor "Changes in Altitude" 80 Spartina Circle

First visit to the area for our family of 6 adults and we had a wonderful stay at "Changes in Altitude"! The home is lovely, well equipped, clean and in a great location close to the Camp Watercolor pools. Quiet neighborhood, plenty of space inside and out, and top notch finishings with comfortable beds. Spent a lot of time on the huge front porch swing! We had cards for access to the pools and the Beach Club, and both are great! We went to the beach every day. Many local restaurants and we ventured into Grayton a few times also. Kitchen and grill are perfect for whipping up fresh local fish and shrimp dinners. The golf cart and bikes provided were exactly what we needed to get around (although we used the Watercolor shuttle a few times to get to the beach). The bikes are well used and loved, but worked just fine, as did the golf cart. Lots of paths around the property to hike around also. We would all very much recommend this home for a stay in Watercolor, and hope to return - soon!

My family and I have been traveling to Watercolor / Seaside for the past 8 years (multiple times per year, in some cases). I was not impressed with the house compared to the others we’ve stayed in during our Watercolor vacations. The bunk beds were old, beds squeaked in all rooms, lights constantly flickered, missing light bulbs, some outlets didn’t work, our AC froze up, the fuse blew, the golf cart was in bad shape, the bikes were rusty, handle bar grips fell off constantly (causing kid accidents) and the seats were ripped. We had bikes stolen. We followed directions and protocol. Replacement bikes were not delivered for multiple days. The location is great but the house and items that came with it were not in the best shape. I expected more based on our past visits. I would not recommend staying here.

Derek, We are sorry to hear that your experience was anything less than 5 stars. We appreciate and value your feedback, and we have shared this with the property management team in an effort to make any needed changes for future guests. Thank you for choosing 360 Blue, and we hope that you will consider us again for your next beach vacation.

Had a wonderful vacation! Home was very comfortable and beautifully appointed. The golf cart came in extremely handy. Would come back to 80 Spartina. Beach club restricting towels to 1 per person is miserly. Should be 2 per person with limit of 8 or 10.

Property Manager Response:
We are so happy you had such a great vacation at 80 Spartina! The home is so beautiful and cozy! The golf cart is so nice to get around the community as well! Thank you for staying with 360 Blue and be sure to come back and see us soon!

Great location, but overall experience could have been better. We are seasoned Watercolor travelers...we come once or twice a year and have stayed all over. Location of this house is great - house itself is just ok- some furnishings are new, but most are not. This house will always be full during season because of demand, but I wouldn't consider it my top pick out of season when choices are a plenty. Our biggest problem was the golf cart. Received a call Thursday before check-in that the golf cart was broke and would not be serviced until Monday. I had to call 360 several times to find out status throughout the week and was finally told we wouldn't have it before check-out. It was returned without notice Friday afternoon and when we tried to use it Friday night, it broke down on Western Lake in traffic. The after hours hotline didn't answer right away and we had to abandon it on the side of the road. We still haven't received an apology for that evening or the credit we were promised for no cart!!

Property Manager Response:
Thank you for providing us with such valuable feedback. We understand that the amenity of having a golf cart is incredibly important to our guests. We are sincerely sorry that the absence of this golf cart impacted your stay and that the repair company did not entirely complete the fix before returning it unexpectedly. We hope that the compensation offered helped to lessen the sting. We hope that despite this issue you enjoyed your time at the beach with your family and made some amazing memories that will last a lifetime.

We loved everything about this house! It was perfect for 2 families of 4. There was so much space and the loft area upstairs was perfect for the kids to relax in after a day of beach and pool! The parents relaxed on the front porch - we didn't even have to leave the house after we got back from dinner. The kitchen was definitely gourmet and the grill was perfect. We are healthy eaters so we don't mind cooking in - the grill was great! The area is too perfect - you will never want to leave. We loved the bikes and golf cart - completed the whole stay. I didn't mind the bike or drive (in the golf cart) to the beach. The Camp pool is within walking distance - the kids loved this area the most. Boys played basketball at the courts until the older kids arrived then they stayed at the pools or beach. We will definitely come back and rent this same house!

We could not be more thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your stay with us! We completely agree that this home is perfect for everyone in the group and the location is wonderful! Thank you for joining us! We hope to see you again very soon!!

We really enjoyed the house, ten of us stayed there very comfortably. The kitchen was fully stocked so we could prepare our thanksgiving dinner with no problem. The only complaint we have was the couches and love seats in the family room, they are very dirty, have tears in them and frankly very uncomfortable, the love seats kind of lean forward, not the quality you expect in a nice expensive home. The 360blue staff are wonderful to deal with, anything you need they will deliver and deliver quickly. I love staying in Watercolor because I am confident they take care of everything!

Property Manager Response:
We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us in Watercolor! We agree that this home is a great option for larger groups and accommodates everyone's needs. We are happy to announce that the homeowner has replaced the furniture in this home to add to the comfort! We are so thrilled that your experience with 360 Blue was a positive one, we hope to host you all again soon!

House is very nice. The pool that is close is closed. Had I known this, we would not have stayed here. Also there is NO oven mits or kitchen towels. When trying to get hot pans out of the oven or wash dishes, we had to use bath towels. We had a great time though!

Property Manager Response:
We are so glad that you enjoyed your vacation with us in Watercolor! We are so sorry for the Camp Watercolor pool, we do have that information listed on our website and it was originally supposed to be done by summer, however, they had to extend that work to add on a few more additions. Next year Camp Watercolor will be the place to vacation! We also apologize that there were not any oven mitts or wash clothes. We do have extras available that we would be more than happy to bring you. We hope to see you again soon!

Water color is a great place any time of year. This home is well appointed and the beds are very comfortable. We had a great time and enjoyed this home. Just a note to the owners, one of the up stairs bath tubs has a slow drain and the master bath seems to have some sort of mildew like smell. Not a big deal but if I were the owner I would want to know. Great place, as advertised. Can’t wait for the update on the pool.

Property Manager Response:
We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay and are pleased that you found the home well appointed and the beds so comfortable! This lovely home is the perfect spot for a WaterColor vacation. We are happy to report that both the drain and mildew smell issues have been resolved. Thank you so much for the feedback and we hope you come stay with us again soon!

The house was lovely and in a great location; close to Publix and a quick bike or golf cart ride to the beach club. The wifi, and thus TV, were not working the first 3 days we were there as new cable had been recently laid throughout Watercolor. I was disappointed in 360 Blue Properties handling of this as it was not corrected until I contacted the media provider myself. 360's compensatory offer was minimal and I still haven't been reimbursed. The lack of wifi and TV did lead to some more bonding time in the evenings but this is not what was advertised and it's a bit sad that 360 Blue Properties couldn't have just called the wifi provider and solved the problem on their own. The ice maker quit working the last 2 days we were there which wasn't that big of a deal but the floor is buckled in front of the machine which leads me to believe this is an ongoing issue. Lastly, I think that it would be nice to have a notebook with instructions for the stereo, DVD player, remotes. The instructions provided

What a beautiful photo! We do apologize about the WiFi issues you were having during your stay. Mediacom is doing a lot of upgrades throughout WaterColor to help accommodate the growing community. We hope that despite these issues you were still able to make some amazing memories at the beach. We are thrilled that you chose to stay with 360 Blue and we hope to have you back at the beach again soon!

What a wonderful spring break. We had 7 beautiful, sunny days and throughly enjoyed the renovations that made the house feel special. We look forward to coming back again soon.

Property Manager Response:
Thank you so much for choosing 360 Blue! We hope to have you all back soon!

We had another awesome stay (last year was our first experience). Loved the location with the pool & facilities close by so our kids could leave and play basketball with the other kids. We'll definitely come back!

Property Manager Response:
Sounds like everyone had an amazing time! Thank you so much for choosing 360 Blue. We hope to have you back again soon!

Great location. The proximity to camp watercolor is amazing. House has a few small repairs throughout. But overall it's wonderful. A great vacation week. After 12 straight years, we'll definitely be back for lucky #13!
