The carriage house has fun, lively decor, including a comfortable bedroom and a nicely equipped kitchen/ sitting area. The high ceilings are a nice touch. The house was clean and well kept. While we didn't use the outdoor patio (at the base of the stairs, under the overhanging porch) it looked like a good place to hang out and chat. An outdoor shower is available there as well.

This carriage house is in a great location, near the back of Watercolor. A state forest is located right across the road, so you can sit on the porch and "chill" - reading or watching for birds or other wildlife if you wish. It's neither as noisy nor as heavily traveled as some of the streets closer to 30A. Yet, if you want to visit the restaurants, shops, Watercolor Beach Club, or Watercolor Inn, the bike ride (the owner's bikes were available for our use) across the Western Lake footbridge is a quick 5 minutes. Seaside is just a few minutes further on the bike. The Watercolor "Frog" Pool is just a few hundred yards away, if you prefer a quieter pool scene than that found at the Beach Club. There is an abundance of restaurants within a short drive. Also, the drive to the nearby supermarket is a quick five minutes, bypassing the traffic congestion in Seaside when you "head out the back way."

The owner was very helpful - he worked with us when our originally requested dates weren't available. Also, the concierge service interaction (getting the keys, Beach Club passes, etc.) was trouble free.

Overall, this is a great place for a couple to spend some "R & R" time - I would definitely recommend it to friends.
