Wonderful house and great location. Our Grandkids loved Camp WaterColor which is a short walk from the house. The GEM LSV was perfect for getting around WaterColor. Beverly is a great host and very responsive.

Best stay ever!

Our family of 9 had the most amazing week at this gorgeous watercolor home. It was perfectly appointed and well located. Everything we could possibly need was provided in the kitchen and throughout the home. Proximity to seaside, watercolor, and the Publix was clutch. We enjoyed the pool and hottub and there was plenty of room for us all to spread out and enjoy some private relaxation time as well. The host, Beverly, could not have been more accommodating. She answered any queries promptly and was incredibly easy to work with. We will definitely be back. Don’t hesitate if you have a chance to book this property. You will be thrilled!

Heaven Can Wait - Perfect Family Vacation Home!

This property was everything promised and so much more! The age of our family members ranges from 10 to 70! Each and everyone had an incredible time. The home was clean and neat and included wonderful amenities. The spacious island kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances and the open kitchen/family room floor plan worked perfectly for our family. The private pool and bar-b-que grill were a hit too!The homeowners provided excellent detailed written instruction for check-in, check-out, and neighborhood amenities. We had a wonderful, memory-making vacation that will be fondly remembered for years to come. I highly recommend "Heaven Can Wait" for anyone wanting a combination of first class quality, location within the community, decor, amenities, and comfort! This property deserves 5+ STARS!

Heavenly!

Thank you for opening your gorgeous home to our family! As a design enthusiast, I was blown away by the your home’s beauty and interior design details. The layout worked perfectly for our family. Grandparents downstairs, kids and grands upstairs. Our grand daughters loved their bunk bed room! The location was perfect—one block from Camp Watercolor and an easy golf trip to Publix. This was our first trip to Watercolor and I was worried about being so far from the beach. But, with double red flags most of the week, we were able to enjoy all of the amenities this beautiful community offers. The best part was all of the fun memories made with our family!

Thanksgiving 2023

This home will not disappoint - it is luxurious yet comfortable, spacious and well-stocked with items that make it feel like home. Beverly promptly responded to the only question we had upon arrival, and our pre-trip communications were made easy through the VRBO app. Beverly even reached out before our arrival to see if there might be anything special needed for our Thanksgiving meal preparations to ensure that the home's kitchen would have everything we needed to celebrate the holiday there. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to stay in this home. We have spent 12 Thanksgivings on 30A, and this home ranks at the top of the list of properties we have rented in the area thus far. We absoultely would stay there again.

Perfection!!!

Staying at Heaven Can Wait was the best decision for this trip! The house is BEAUTIFUL inside and out. You can tell there was a lot of love put into making this feel like a home. We had more than enough room for our group and by the end of the week we all wished we could stay longer! The pool was a huge bonus and sitting on all the porches was very relaxing. It was a great location being close to the grocery store, yet right in the heart of the neighborhood where you could ride around and explore the pools and paths. Beverly was AMAZING and so helpful! It was such a relief to know we had a host that was available for any questions, we appreciated that so very much. We hope to be back, this place was such a gem!!!

Absolutely stunning vacation home!

We had an amazing week together as a family in this beautiful Watercolor home. There were 14 in our family and each family had their own bedroom and bathroom, and the bunk room was just perfect for the 4 young girls in our group. The house is extremely well-appointed and beautifully decorated. The only challenge we encountered was the parking - we learned (after 3 citations) that we couldn't park our cars on the street in front of the house. We needed to move the cars in and out of the driveway to get the golf cart out. But would go back in a heartbeat!

Wonderful Watercolor vacation!

We had the best time on our vacation in Watercolor. The house was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 3 children. The backyard pool was perfect for our kids to play in. Camp Watercolor is soo close and we would walk there with our small kids. The home was well stocked and well cared for. Beverly was great with communicating and helping us plan all along the way. We would recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in Watercolor! For parents with small children I would mention that the curtains in the bedrooms are very high end and do a good job of minimizing early morning sun. We had a great experience.
