We absolutely loved staying in this home. The location is perfect between the beach and camp watercolor. When my son lost his wristband, Miki quickly helped us get it replaced - her communication was amazing before and throughout our stay. The home is beautiful and was perfect for our family of four. We cannot wait to go back and will stay here again!

The Cozy Cottage was perfect for our family of 4. Ideally situated in the Watercolor neighborhood with easy access to Seaside via multiple walking paths just outside the back door. Biking throughout the neighborhood to town/pools/trails was a highlight. The neighborhood trolly is a fantastic convenience - just download the Watercolor Trolly app. Publix was a quick car ride and they do a wonderful job keeping the store stocked for one of the busiest times of year (July 4th). The home absolutely felt like our home away from home. We plan to return in the future! 🫶

From start to finish the overall experience as well as excellent. Jane and I have stayed at multiple homes in Watercolor over the years and this ranks among the very best. When we call Watercolor Jane’s Happy Place, the home is a big part of that experience. We look forward to the next visit, and we hope it will be at Miki’s property.

Amazing place and location. Was perfect for our family of four. Well appointed and the location is a perfect fit for being close to town, the pools and tennis courts. The foot path out of back porch was a perfect shortcut into town that my girls loved. The owner is also very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay again.

Why they chose this property

My family fell in love with Watercolor during our vacation in 2016. We made the journey back for a second vacation in 2017 and decided to look at a few homes including this gem. The charm and location of this cottage is perfect...the benefits of Watercolor and steps from the Seaside town center...
