Wonderful stay

We greatly enjoyed our week in this beautiful home. We were able to check in a few hours early on our first day, and found the property to be perfectly clean upon arrival. There was plenty of space for our group of 10 (5 adults, 5 children), and we loved all the beautiful screened porches. The location was perfect, as well!

Family Vacation

We loved our stay at this house in watercolor. We had 3 families total with my parents, my wife and I with 2 teenagers, and my cousin with his 2 kids under 10. Plenty of space for everyone with room for another cousin or two that could have joined us. Having a separate upstairs living room area was great for the kids so adults could have a space downstairs. Super close walk to everything in seaside for food and shops. ~8-10 min walk to the beach club. We rented a golf cart for the week and had a blast getting to all the places. Warning though, if you want a golf cart, watercolor forces you to rent from only one place in town that was ~$200 a day. Then parking is ~$25 a day around the beach club. (New in 2024) The trolley is close by the house and that could definitely be used easily too to get to the beach when you have your hands full of stuff. We would come back for sure!

Seaside vacation

Great property, we've stayed at 4 now over last 5 summers (less Covid year) and this is at the top. Spacious house, tons of outdoor sitting space, great bedroom spread and bathrooms. The upstairs is huge, lots of room and privacy in each room. Lots of sitting and gathering space inside upstairs and down. Of all the outdoor spaces, we used the downstairs screened in porch the most - right off kitchen and den. As to access to beach, to go to town/restaurants/beach, you walk out the backdoor, the cut through is less than 50 steps to the right, and in 2 minutes you are at beach and restaurants/shopping. As for beach each day, we chose to drive less than 2 minutes and park, always found parking, and used the beach club access where the pool was. The house provided us waterproof bands for the week and we used those every day to access. Very convenient, you could walk from house but if taking a lot of stuff (coolers/boogie boards), golf cart or car is better simply for logistics. Never used the bikes, but they are there if you want them. Owner was responsive to the few things we needed. Otherwise, great place to stay, we'll probably hunt this one down for next year if it's available.

Fabulous stay!

By far one of the best houses we’ve ever rented in 25 years of visiting this area for summer vacation. The location was ideal, just a short walk in to Seaside for meals out with all the amenities of Watercolor. Our extended family of 12 will definitely be back!

Beautiful, well appointed home in convenient location

Our family enjoyed a week in this lovely home. The property managers were wonderful to work with. It was so nice to have bikes that we could ride to camp Watercolor or just for fun. It was a short walk to Seaside and an easy walk to the Watercolor resort. Guests in this home are provided wristbands to gain admission to Camp Watercolor and the Resort. The only reason I didn't give 5 Stars for accuracy of the listing was that some of the pictures of the outside were inaccurate. Also, a hot tub was listed as an amenity but there was no hot tub that we could find at either Camp Watercolor or the resort.

Gorgeous!

Absolutely beautiful! The house was perfect for what we wanted. Got so much use out of the screened in area off the kitchen! Perfect distance from Watercolor and 30A walking. Golf cart a must, we all enjoyed it. Weather was awesome all week. Talking about booking our next stay, just not during fall break. Too many unsupervised kids.

Wonderful in Watercolor!

The home is beautiful - beautifully decorated, quiet, and well maintained. The location is close to both Seaside and Watercolor amenities, which is really convenient as we attended a Seaside wedding during our stay. Several light bulbs were out in one of the bathrooms (makeup had to be done elsewhere), and the fridge didn’t get really cold, but other than those minor inconveniences, everything else was terrific. Reported both to the management company and they said bulbs had to be ordered and sent someone over to look at the fridge. .

Perfect in every way!

We enjoyed our time in the home as much or more than our time at the beach! Beautifully decorated, comfortable beds and plenty of areas to relax and visit with one another. Location central to Seaside/Watercolor/Publix. You’re 5-10 minutes from everything. The grill was easy to use, and top notch kitchen made cooking and eating in very simple. Mgmt company very courteous and helpful when needed. Hope to be back soon!
