Amy : We had a group of ladies down for the Seaside School Run. We have been coming down for many years and this was one of our favorite rentals ever. Great, quiet location, easy access to community amenities, groceries, and Seaside. 360 Blue could not have been more attentive and helped us with the few things we asked them to take care of.

Property Manager Response: We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your time at the beach for the Seaside School half marathon. We appreciate you choosing 360 Blue and hope to see you back again next year!

Kelley : We could not be more pleased with the outstanding service and the beautiful home we rented through 360 Blue! They responded to every single question or request promptly and genuinely wanted to help make our stay more enjoyable. Also, we avoided extra fees by not using VRBO, etc. Highly recommend! We will always use 360 Blue when we return to the gulf!

Property Manager Response: We are delighted you enjoyed your stay in WaterColor and enjoyed working with our team. It was a pleasure having you stay with us; thank you for choosing 360 Blue!

Michelle T: The house was great! Perfect size for two families and extremely clean!! The only negative was the bike rentals that we handled through 360 blue. The bikes were in VERY poor condition and one of the child bikes was not working. It took two days to have this remedied which really interfered since we enjoy taking family rides. I would suggest booking your own bikes through one of the various rental companies down on 30a. Also, 360 blue no longer includes the one hour rentals at the boat house for kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding. We always looked forward to that feature year after year and we're sad to learn they no longer included that even though it was included in the description when we booked. Overall, a good house that we very much enjoyed!

Property Manager Response: Michelle, We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us in WaterColor. We appreciate your feedback and we will share this with our property management team. Thank you for choosing 360 Blue. We look forward to hosting you again soon.

Kristen M: The house is great! However the TV volume wasn't working the entire trip in the living room. We called customer service multiple times over the span of two days and no one answered to help us. The bikes are not well maintained. The chains are incredibly rusty and need to be greased. They came off twice on one bike because it was rusty. The seats are cracking and absorb all the water from the rain so your clothes get soaked when you ride. Great proximity to watercolor, cthe beach and seaside. Seaside is an adorable town. The beaches aren't overcrowded. I didn't like the beach chair setup at watercolor. They put so many chairs out with zero room in between and the chairs are not well maintained. But all in all the home was comfortable and very well maintained. Bring dish soap and laundry soap as they only supply enough for 1-2 loads.

Property Manager Response: Kristen, We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us in WaterColor. We appreciate your feedback and we will share this with our property management team. Thank you for choosing 360 Blue. We look forward to hosting you again soon.

Kurt D: Had a great week staying at Ken's Cottage. House was the perfect size for family with a couple of older kids or a bunch of younger kids. Being close to the camp is great location. Everything about house was great. If there was only 1 negative is outdoor areas of the house were not as conducive to outdoor dining/ gatherings.

Valerie G: Despite the tropical storm and big crowds, we enjoyed our stay in Watercolor. The house was very nice, but on a busy road and far from everything but the Watercolor Club. The bikes were clunky & not well maintained, but we loved the beach shuttle. Everything in the area is way over priced! Unbelievable that a watered-down margarita at the pool bar is $15.

Property Manager Response: Valerie, We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us in WaterColor. We appreciate and value your feedback and we hope you can visit us again soon. Thank you for choosing 360 Blue.

Jennifer L: We loved staying at Kens Cottage! The beds were comfy and the house had everything we needed for our family of 4 - even games, puzzles, and beach chairs! The kitchen had everything needed to cook up a gourmet meal and all the serve ware you could need to entertain. It was a skip over to Camp Watercolor and a pleasant bike ride to the beach club. We plan to rent this same house again next year. My only complaint was using guest services for things like bike rentals. We suggest going straight to the vendor and working with them directly in case you run into any issues.

Property Manager Response: Jennifer, We are so glad that you loved staying at this home in Watercolor. We agree that it has everything needed for families to enjoy their vacation, and the beach chairs are a great addition. We appreciate your feedback about bike rentals as well, and we will share this with our management team. Thank you for choosing 360 Blue and we hope to see you again soon.

Mark J: My family of 4 stayed (2 kids 12y & 14y) at Ken's Cottage in August. This was our 5th time to Watercolor and always have a great time. Kens cottage was perfect for us, close to the b-ball court, camp watercolor, biking to seaside and the beach club was really easy and enjoyable. Large enough for us to have plenty of space, but still cozy. This is our 3rd visit using 360 Blue and they make everything so easy. Highly recommend using them.

Property Manager Response: Mark, we are thrilled that you and your family enjoyed another great vacation with us in Watercolor! We agree that the location of ""Ken's Cottage"" is hard to beat since it is so close to the awesome Camp Watercolor! Perfect for families with kids! We love hearing that 360 Blue is your go-to rental agency and we look forward to helping you plan your next stay with us!

Kimberly E: Great cottage. We only had 4 adults but could have easily had 6 adults and 2 or 3 children too. Excellent location; close to everything especially new Camp Pool which we loved. Only problem at all was one bike was missing when we arrived.

Property Manager Response: We are so glad that you all enjoyed your stay with us at this amazing home in Watercolor! We agree that it is perfect for the entire family. We apologize for the missing bike upon arrival, we will be sure to check with our vendor to see what happened here to ensure it does not happen in the future. Thank you for staying with 360 Blue, we hope to see you again soon!

Gregory W: Nice Location. Camp Watercolor not complete as advertised. Problems with TVs, shower curtains were eventually taken care of.

Property Manager Response: We are so sorry that the Camp Pool was not what was expected during your stay. We were not made aware by the HOA of what would be lacking after opening until guests started to use the facility. We are glad that the issues within the home were corrected in a timely fashion and we hope to have the pleasure of hosting you for another Watercolor getaway soon!

Thomas S: Watercolor is a lot of fun and we were thrilled to stay here. The unit had bikes (a ton of them) but they are apparently not for guests to use. You really need bikes with this unit - it is pretty far from everything. We rented 6 bikes which made the rear overly crowded with bikes. The kitchen was sparsely equipped and was missing some common items to cook with but we enjoyed it. The beds and bathrooms were great. Would have liked better front porch furniture, was cheaply done and below what we are accustomed to. Had an operable grill which was a plus.
