Love this cottage in Watercolor
We’ve stayed at this house 3 years in a row and we love it. Great location and perfect size for our family of 5. We have 3 small kids and there is everything we need, including a secret play room! The house is always clean, well stocked kitchen etc and we will be back for years to come!

Great for kids
We found this place was perfect for us. We have 4 boys ages 1,4,5, and 13 and it was great. It was stocked with baby gear and toys. The older kids had puzzles and games and lots of space away from parents. It was a manageable walk to the beach with them all in tow.

Great time amidst construction
We love WaterColor and always use 360 Blue. That said, the construction was ongoing for three days outside our front door. Window shaking bull dozers and constant beeping from utility trucks in reverse unfortunately put a dent in our relaxing and made it unable to use the front porch. Construction began at 7am each morning and lasted til 6pm. When you have a 2 year old you spend lots of time indoors. I would recommend you find out which of your property neighbors are undergoing construction and notify the renter before they book a home. Other than that great trip!
