This home treated our large group of 7 adults and 3 littles perfectly. The home has four private en-suite bedroom/bathrooms along with a pullout sofa alongside a bunk bed set. The home was beautifully furnished; all beds and linens very comfortable. The home provided adequate linens, towels, kitchen ware as needed. Packets of laundry and dishwasher soap were provided, enough for our week long stay. Be advised, there were no spices (salt/pepper) or any other food items provided. Many homes that we have stayed in prior have kindly provided the common spices which is always appreciated. Checkin in was a breeze and the use of the bicycles and golf cart was great fun for our family. I give this home the highest recommendation noting that communication with the property management team was exceptional. They were extremely responsive to our flat tire on golf cart and a leak on the refrigerator. We thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities provided in this home and the watercolor community. A great getaway if you have small children to entertain. We hope to return very soon.

We arrived at the house and found all was good with parking, the golf cart and the access to our activities in Watercolor!
The children had the pool which was great for them. All the kitchen tools were available and in good condition for our use.

We had a great week at the property! The location was great- a quick walk to camp watercolor & about 10 minutes to Seaside. The golf cart was a huge perk with the property. The parking passes helped save on parking as well when driving to the beach club! We would definitely stay again!

Manager's Response

Thank you, Ms. Condellire! We love hearing that you will stay with us again, which is the greatest compliment we can receive. We hope to host you again very soon.

There were many little things that added up to quite a bit and most of it were things that they said they were aware of but had not relayed it to us. We arrived on a Sunday and then the following Monday was Labor Day, so they were not able to attend to anything until Tuesday which is understandable. When we arrived some ladies were setting towels out, they said they had removed all the decorative pillows off bed to wash the cases and they were not dry. I don't believe this home was rented before we got there (as they confirmed) so not sure why this happened, anyway the cases were never returned and beds had just pillow cases on them. Upstairs Bedroom, toilet paper holder was coming off of wall, the same with the towel rack above the toilet. Master bath upstairs had no plug in the sink, and the faucet was loose and not glued down, so it wobbled. In every bathroom there was some hot/cold knobs missing from either the sink or the tubs. The bunkroom bathroom cabinet door was broken (again they were aware of it), broken at hinges. Downstairs hallway bath screeched every time the light came on (again, aware of it and said they had it on order to be fixed) We needed lightbulbs for two lamps, a clothespin was holding the roman shade in living room up because it was broken. The firepit outside didn't light at all and then when it did, it lit very high. The washing machine was very moldy around the rims, just need to be cleaned. The carriage house and bunkroom area rugs both had red stains in them. A cabinet door in the kitchen was completely missing and again they did know it but said it was on work order to be done. We notified them of all these things and they sent someone to fix two things, the toilet paper holder and towel rack and then my husband said they closed the ticket on all other things. The house is in a great location and we enjoyed the golf cart and bikes and it is decorated nicely but all of these little things are items that should be in working order and for the rental price we would expect things to be well taken care of and in good working order.

Excellent stay at Morning Star

Our two families thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Morning Star late July '23. House was clean, well appointed, and super functional. Despite being a rental, just about everything was well taken care of and 30A Luxury Vacations were absolutely amazing taking care of our minor little needs, with excellent communication. Would definitely stay here again, but you DO need the golf cart, as you're in the back of the neighborhood but close to Publix. It is much quieter in this portion of Watercolor, which is what we wanted. Super close to Camp Watercolor, which is great.
Some minor things to tweak for next guest:
Many kitchen cabinet doors were off the hinges, as well as a few upstairs vanities. New hinges or reconnect the doors to the hinges.
Ice maker was blinking red and needed a new filter.
Cleaning company used should pay attention to the corners of the showers, getting that deep clean, as well as making sure the golf cart is at least sprayed off.
I parked in the driveway for a week over top of an ant hill unbeknownst to me, so that made for a fun drive home to Georgia.

Otherwise, amazing stay and great house!

This classic four-bedroom home with timeless curb appeal sits on a sun-dappled corner of Pine Needle Way in the premier Forest District of the Watercolor community. Designed to be both endlessly luxurious yet completely laid-back and welcoming, this quintessential coastal vacation home has tons of space— including a separate carriage house— and a plunge pool. There are also four bicycles and a golf cart fit for six for getting around. This is your family's new happy place on the Emerald Coast, located close to the Watercolor pools, the sandy beaches, and lots of delicious local restaurants and shops.

A super-charming front porch leads into the first-floor GREAT ROOM, where white shiplap walls and many windows make for a bright and open social space. The LIVING AREA includes a crisp, slip-covered sofa, four armchairs, and a large, mounted HDTV. Next to the living area is a formal DINING SPACE with a dining table that seats eight underneath an elegant chandelier.

The KITCHEN comprises stylish dove-gray cabinets, pristine quartz countertops, and timeless white subway tiles. In the center of the kitchen is a convenient island with seating for two, and the premier appliance suite features a Wolf gas range, a specious refrigerator, a dishwasher, and an in-drawer microwave.

The FIRST BEDROOM, located just off the living area on the first floor, features a chic king-size bed and an HDTV. This level also includes a FULL BATHROOM. Upstairs there’s an open space with a BUNK ROOM that includes a built-in twin-over-twin-size bunk, a sleeper sofa, and a LAUNDRY NOOK with a full-size washer and dryer.

The PRIMARY BEDROOM SUITE is a private oasis with a balcony, lots of natural light, a gorgeous king-size bed, and an ENSUITE PRIVATE BATHROOM with a soaking tub, step-in shower, and dual vanity. Another GUEST BEDROOM on the second floor has a king-size bed and a FULL ATTACHED BATHROOM.

The CARRIAGE HOUSE is a lovely, flexible space perfect for in-laws or older children. With a king-size bed, a sleeper sofa, and a kitchenette, this is an entirely private flat that will also keep guests close to the main house. There’s also a FULL BATHROOM with a step-in shower.

Back at the main house, the backyard is pure coastal bliss, complete with a PLUNGE POOL, an OUTDOOR SHOWER, and a LOUNGE AREA with a fire pit and a gas grill. With a location that keeps you just moments away from the sparkling Watercolor resort area and the world-famous Gulf of Mexico beaches, you’ll adore every moment you spend at this sumptuous home-away-from-home.
