Beautiful home, well maintained clean and well stocked. Quick golf cart ride to Camp Water Color which our grandkids loved. Only a 6 minute ride to beach. Dragon Fly pool just up the street was an excellent option if you want a quiet relaxed setting for a change of pass.

Best house

The house was perfect for my family. It’s one of the very few houses that is dog friendly and has a golf cart. We used the golf cart so much!! It was a huge plus to have. The setup was wonderful with a bedroom downstairs for grandparents and upstairs where my husband and I and the kids slept. The house had tons of space and the fenced in backyard was great for our dog. The front patio was also so nice and it had a gate so the kids and dog could run around. It’s 2 minutes from camp watercolor and about 5 minute golf cart ride to the beach. Publix is about 1 minute away. The street was really quiet which was nice. We really enjoyed our stayed here so much we want to book for next year. We usually like to try out different houses each year but I think we found our favorite house!! The management company was also so great and was quick to respond to any questions we had. They also post videos on how to use the golf cart, grill, key bar for the door, ect. 100% highly recommend!!!

It's about the house and the folks at Sanders

We have rented with Sanders for years, and staying in their houses are consistently great experiences. 134 Royal Fern Way was no exception. What was exceptional was the support we received from the people of Sanders when the unthinkable happened, our son at a local gym weightlifting broke his arm in two places. The folks at Sanders were very, very helpful, even bringing us a foldable chair that kept our son’s arm above his heart as he slept to reduce swelling. We are very grateful to the people at Sanders. Their professionalism and service is extraordinary.

Accommodations were spotless, well-equipped, in excellent working order, and many extra amenities were included. The location was ideal for being close to the beach, pools, and local spots but far enough away to not be in the noise and crazy of the crowds. We will be back!

We had a wonderful time. The property was spacious, well equipped, in excellent working condition and very clean, especially as it was pet friendly. We would definitely consider renting again in the future. Many thanks. Staff was so easy to work with, arrival and departure instructions were clear and thorough. While we had no issues during our stay, I?m sure that all would be handled promptly and efficiently if there were any. Great job!

The property was modern, very very comfortable, and super clean Beds are always an issue with us and these were great. Linens comfortable and plentiful. The golf cart was a major plus for scooting around Watercolor. Our pups were just as happy as we were. Backyard enclosed and they loved exploring. It was not a walk to the beach since it sits at the back of the Watercolor property, but it was close to a Publix and quiet. It is central to almost all of the Emerald Coast.

It's a beautiful place and it was very clean for our arrival. There was only one problem, which didn't effect us at all.We could not make the ice and water dispenser work. So, rather than call, we just put bags of ice in the freezer and drank tap water. No problem.The Master Suite in this property is amazing and gave my wife and I a complete escape from the 4 college students staying with us. Everyone was very responsive and also very quick!
