About this property

Exquisitely decorated and immaculately maintained three bedroom, four bath cottage on a cul-de-sac in Watercolor. The home features an enormous great room which opens onto the front screened porch perfect for entertaining, a very well equipped gourmet kitchen, master on the main level which opens onto a sleeping porch, full laundry room, and two additional bedrooms with full baths upstairs. There are two pull out sofas in the great room and an outdoor shower. No detail has been over looked in this fantastic family home which fronts a private park like green space perfect for family lawn sports, sipping cocktails, reading, or picnicking.

Cozy up to the wood burning fireplace in the winter months or open the French doors throughout the house and enjoy the beautiful warmth of the gulf breezes most of the year. Close to everything and in the heart of Watercolor resort yet located on a private cul-de-sac.

You really do get the best of both worlds!

Overall good house

The house was clean and adequately stocked with all the things you need for a fun comfortable vacation. Our main complaint is that we couldn’t get the TV to work in the living room and had to share a remote with the main bedroom and could only watch our streaming platforms, no live TV/cable. This probably wouldn’t have bothered us much except the elite 8 games were on and we weren’t able to watch them in the living room. In addition, the dish washer and the washing machine and dryer were on the small side for a house that sleeps 10. But overall the positives outweigh the small negatives and I would stay at this house again!

Lovely home in great little neighborhood

This house had way more room than we needed for three of us. Beautifully appointed, we really enjoyed it. The grassy area out front was perfect for teens to play various sports.

Another great stay

This was our second time to stay at this property for our annual family beach vacation. This home is perfect for our family of six. Location is great, clean, well-stocked and comfortable. The property owner is responsive and easy to communicate with. We will definitely stay here again next time we return to Watercolor!

Private and relaxing

We very much enjoyed our stay. No complaints. I have stayed at many Watercolor properties. This one was on a private street across from a green space, so no cars at all coming in front of the house. All parking is in back. Only suggestions I would make would be to move the swing bed to the front porch as it is not used in its current location, and put a keypad entry on the back door since that is where you park. Overall great stay and we’d use this property again.

Beautiful, clean home! Highly recommend!

Our family of six adults stayed in this gorgeous home in Watercolor and had the best time. The state of the art kitchen was a bonus, as well as the four bikes that were available for us to use throughout our stay. The owner was quick to respond when we reached out and ensured we had a great vacation. This home was furnished with all the cleaning supplies and extra garbage bags, washing detergent, and paper supplies we needed. EXCELLENT STAY!

Family Beach Trip

Our family has stayed at numerous Watercolor properties and this one is definitely the best so far. It was the perfect layout and size for our family of 5, was super clean, and had all the comforts of home. Eddie, the property owner, was very responsive when we had questions. We will definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!!

Thanks for a great stay!

We had a great trip! The house was perfect and just the right size. And what we didn't realize is that the layout is perfect so the people upstairs don't wake up whoever is sleeping in the master bedroom. Well-stocked kitchen. The washer and dryer are small, but no other complaints. Easy and relaxing, would stay here again. Thanks Eddie!

Destination wedding

Overall, we were pleased with the house. Very clean. The internet was very slow-almost impossible to download anything. TV in living room was tiny and very difficult to find stations to watch anything. We had to change smoke detector batteries because of beeping. Beds were very comfortable and bathrooms clean.

Great house in Watercolor!

Our stay was wonderful! Eddie and Kimberly’s house is beautiful and the kitchen and laundry room had everything we needed. Everything was fully stocked, the house is beautifully built and communication with Eddie was easy and efficient. The screened in porch was our favorite spot! We also especially loved the big lawn area in the court in front of the house. My husband and son played lots of catch. Thank you!

Peaceful and Relaxing!

This house is located in a very nice community - it was very quite and peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed the front porch and spent most of our time on it, when we weren’t at the beach. We were taken a little by surprise with the house being 2 stories though, stairs aren’t really toddler friendly, but we managed. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed our vacation!!

Lovely Watercolor home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your home. Wonderful location, it was perfect for our kids to ride bikes and scooter around the loop as well as play out of the lawn in the evening. Another bonus is the location of the Master to the other rooms, it’s not on top of each other so it was easy for our toddler to nap while the others played.

Nice home! Honest host!

This home was perfect for our family! The location is near the shops at Watercolor Crossing and Camp Watercolor. The beach is a short, but not practically walkable distance from the house. The home is as described, clean with appropriate amenities. We left a few valuables (both in terms of cost and sentiment) behind at checkout but the owner was responsive when contacted. Between Eddie and housekeeping, all items were recovered and shipped to our home. It's nice to rent from trustworthy folks! Thanks Eddie!

Wonderful Home and Location

This was the perfect size home for our family, and we absolutely loved the location on its own private park/culdesac. The kitchen was lovely, and the front porch was relaxing. The primary bedroom was expansive, and the secondary bedrooms were very roomy! We feel so fortunate to be able to stay in this wonderful home.

Fabulous Stay!

This property was really perfect for our group. It’s tucked away in the cutest neighborhood, close to Publix and Seaside area. Really enjoyed the perk of all the Watercolor access…. Parking, pools, beach club, beach, etc. was really enjoyable and easy to use! House has 4 bikes and room for 2 cars, but there are free parking slots throughout the neighborhood to use. Really enjoyed our stay here!

Perfect location!

This property is beautiful. So perfectly located. A short walk or very short bike ride to Camp Watercolor. Close to Seaside as well and lots of options for eating meals out. Nice kitchen for cooking in. The house is laid out nicely with the main bedroom downstairs and other rooms upstairs. Each bedroom had its own restroom. The house was very clean. The property owner responded quickly to any questions. We would definitely recommend this property. A great place to make many family memories!!

Great house near Camp Watercolor and a short bike ride to the beach

This was an excellent house in a perfect neighborhood. Exactly as described and about a 10 minute bike ride from Seaside or the Watercolor beach. You'll have access to Camp Watercolor which is very close (pool with slides and lazy river) or bike to the Watercolor beach entrance which also has a large pool including an adults only section. You can book chairs and an umbrella on the beach for the week ahead of time. This house comes with bikes and is very close to Publix and a bike shop if you need more. We had an issue with the A/C and Eddie had a repair man there by the afternoon. Well stocked kitchen, screened in porch where we ate dinner every day and a porch swing that my 12 year old reclined in daily. We would definitely stay here again!
