About this property
WaterColor Park District - Private beach access & amenities!
Welcome to Forest of Dreams, a beautifully designed retreat in the heart of WaterColor’s sought-after Park District. This home offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and charm, with easy access to all that WaterColor and Seaside have to offer. With 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and a sleeper sofa, the home can sleep up to 12 maximum guests.
Guests enjoy full access to WaterColor’s private beach, pools, and amenities, plus the ideal location: just 0.3 miles to the beach, 0.4 miles to the Beach Club, and a short 5-minute walk (0.25 miles) to Seaside’s vibrant square. Whether you stroll, bike (five adult bikes included), or hop on the free WaterColor trolley (seasonal), everything you need is just steps away. Golf carts can be rented from Electric Cart Company if desired, but definitely not needed due to the perfect location.
The open-concept main level floor plan creates a warm, welcoming space for gathering. Two cozy lounge areas, one for reading, one for relaxing around the TV, are connected by a gourmet kitchen with a breakfast bar for 6. A large dining table for 8 and wet bar make family meals a breeze. Step outside to the screened-in porch overlooking serene views of the preserved Western Lake forest.
Upstairs, natural light pours into all four bedrooms, each with its own private bath:
-Master Suite: King bed, spacious bath with claw-foot tub and walk-in shower, plus a private porch overlooking the forest.
-Second King Suite: Large sun-filled room, can serve as a second master.
-Guest Room: Two full beds, perfect for kids or friends.
-Bunk Room: Four twin bunks, always a favorite for younger guests.
Other Features:
-Open office with French doors leading to another private porch makes it easy to balance work and play during your stay
-Charming front and back porches with swings, perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails
-Gas grill and outdoor shower for beach days made easy
