WaterColor Beach Home w/ Resort Amenity Passes, Sleeps 8 + Free Tickets!

Tucked away in WaterColor’s Turtle Ridge neighborhood, “Rise and Shine,” offers the best of both worlds: a quiet corner lot within easy reach of 30A and the vibrant town of Seaside.

Natural light fills the home’s living quarters through windows and transoms that run the length of the home, where indoor space flows easily to the outdoors. The covered wraparound porch — one side screened with convenient kitchen access — opens at the front of the home to a well-kept green space, trail, and natural park area.

“Rise and Shine” offers coastal cottage charm and detailing through its hardwood floors and shiplap walls. Brimming with light, the 3rd floor opens into a wonderful tower space, equipped with a wet bar, daybed, TV and balcony overlook: a perfect place to curl up, take an afternoon nap, or lose yourself in a book.

“Rise and Shine” offers 3 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and a 4th bath on the main level. The 2nd floor master bedroom overlooks the park green, dotted with trees.

Another green, designed in a perfect circle shape, sits behind the home. While this property allows sanctuary, it boasts one of the closest access points to WaterColor Crossing, with Publix grocery store, Pizza by the Sea, and a new Perfect Pig Restaurant on the way.

Dragonfly Pool is just a stroll down Wisteria Way and offers an outdoor grilling area. All other WaterColor amenities can be reached on bike. Enjoy nature trails that meander around Western Lake. Traverse boardwalks over scenic neighborhood landscapes. Spend evenings with friends and family in Seaside. Then retreat back to your peaceful corner of WaterColor for rest … until the next day of fun at the beach.

The WaterColor Resort Amenity Passes provide access to all WaterColor pools, along with entry to the Beach Club, for up to 8 people.

Sleeping Arrangements:
2nd Floor, Bedroom 1: Queen bed, TV. Private bathroom with dual sinks.
2nd Floor, Bedroom 2: Queen bed, TV. Private bathroom with tub shower combination.
2nd Floor, Bedroom 3: 2 twin beds, Private bathroom with shower.

Nice house with lots of room. We walked or rode bikes into town or to the beach daily. We had a problem with the hot water heater. At times we didn’t have hot water.

Close to Publix

We loved our little October getaway so much that we e tended our trip a couple of days. House is lovely. I didn’t realize that all bedrooms were upstairs and we were wishing for more of a master bedroom with a king bed. We made it work though and enjoyed our stay.

Great Watercolor Property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Benchmark was excellent to work with. Location was amazing with an easy walk to Publix and the Perfect Pig. I would recommend that the owners not have a lock out closet in the kitchen and use it for a pantry since there was no pantry space. I would also purchase an outdoor table for the covered porch area.

Thanksgiving 2022 at Rise and Shine

The house was perfect for our stay ,except the hot water was sporadic and the ice maker did not work. We had to report these problems a few times and the response was ok. These problems were the only damper for our stay. I don't know if we will use this service again.

Dissatisfied and cannot recommend

Property is dated (FFE needs to be replaced) and there are only 3 useable bedrooms. The 3rd floor bedroom doesn’t cool down and the balcony door doesn’t lock. It needs a minisplit to properly cool the space. Tankless water heater needs to be installed as it takes over 2.5 minutes for shower to heat up. Air quality needs to be addressed. The pillows and comforters were lumpy and super thin. No dressers to store your clothes while you are there. Once it is remodeled and a good interior designer is hired I think it would be a good place. Otherwise, it’s only suitable for a family of 4 or 5 and it’s priced way too high for that.

Skip This One & This Company

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I love leaving positive reviews but in this case, I just can’t.For starters the house was not clean, there was blood on the wall in master bath, as well as on the freezer door next to the opening for the ice machine. It was gross.Second, the listing is misleading. It’s advertised with a queen size bed in the master bedroom and in the guest room, however both beds are only a full size, making the largest bed in the house a full and not a queen or king that you would find in other rentals. And a full size master bed does not comfortably accommodate two adults.3rd. The kitchen was nonfunctional during our stay. The oven and the microwave were both kaput. Although the management company knew of this issue prior to our stay, they did not bother to notify us so that we could consider other accommodations. When I contacted the company about the issue, they stated they could refund 10% of the cost after the trip if the oven was not repaired in time, however this was another very misleading statement, as they only refunded 3% of the base rent, which was a mere $150. When someone is paying $4,100+ for a vacation rental house they expect the kitchen to be functional. Our tradition is to cook during family vacations, but unfortunately the issues with the appliances made this impossible. We found ourselves having sandwiches for every meal because of the nonfunctional kitchen, and because the restaurants were just too far to bike or walk to for every meal. The company did put a 2nd microwave and toaster oven in the house, however these makeshift appliances were dirty and took up the entire counter area, making it junky and crowded.Lastly, the last night there the fire alarm went off at 1:30 AM for twenty-five minutes. I called the company, but just received an answering service. We had to wake up very early the next morning, needless to say, we did not receive a restful nights sleep. So yeah, this place is not what it could be.

Worst Experience with a Rental Company Ever

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: WARNING: FALSE ADVERTISEMENT AND FILTH FROM BENCHMARK:Does spending thousands of dollars to receive DISHONEST, DIRTY, and UNPROFESSIONAL treatment sound like your dream vacation? How about finding someone else's stained underwear in your bed? Dirty linens and garbage on your floor? Blood stains and makeup on your pillows and sofa? Does spending the first day of your vacation at the store buying cleaners and new linens and bedding followed by three hours of scrubbing sound good to you? That's what you will get with Benchmark.Do you expect the photos and house description to be accurate? Not with Benchmark. When we called to explain the photos and description stated there was a king bed in the home, the response from Benchmark was : "I just rent the homes, I don't know what's IN them." We had called Benchmark at least five times during our one week vacation and was always told "someone will get back with you." We called Benchmark several times since we have been home, and still no response. If you are wondering what all the one-star reviews are about? Trust them. We travel to 30A at least three times a year and have never had these issues with any other agency. Benchmark is a scam who cares nothing about the homes they manage or their clients. We asked Benchmark to reimburse us for the costs incurred due to the filthy and dangerous conditions in the home. We asked them to move us to a place with a king bed or reimburse us for FALSE ADVERTISING. They couldn't care less. It's been four weeks, and still no response.

Dirtiest vacation we have had in Watercolor

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we arrived at checkin time, the house had not been cleaned. We thought maybe they just missed some areas but upon further inspection the sheets had been changed and that was it. The floors were sandy, counters were dusty, bathrooms dirty, hair in drawers, porch was not cleaned off, most dishes had stuck on food and just about everything else that could be dirty was. They sent a second crew that cleaned the bathrooms and mopped downstairs but there was still another couple of hours of cleaning we did after.We called Benchmark and were told a supervisor would call us back. Mainly they were unaccommodating and did not have much on customer service. The first one complained to us how many houses they manage. The second one said there was nothing they could do. We then contacted the owners who copied Benchmark and we were told a manager would call us but we have still not heard back from them.The house is cute and in a good location. Unfortunately the mismanagement of the property overshadowed the potential of this property.

Benchmark management was fantastic. We shipped our son’s fishing rod and they placed it inside our rental and it was waiting for us when we got there. (Thanks Lisa!) I would recommend Rise and Shine and would stay here again!
