The house creates a sense of home. The furnishings, high ceilings and porches create peace and calm. So convenient to both Watercolor and Seaside. I would definitely stay here again
The house was incredible. The hosts were very responsive to any questions and the location could not have been better. Every thing about our stay was perfect.

We had a great stay! Great location. There was lots of dishes inside the house so we were able to cook and grill out often. Plenty of space and great living spaces. Perfect house for our family vacation of 12! The owner was also very gracious and responsive and answered any questions I had.

Perfect distance from Seaside. We walked or biked to the market everyday. Easy bike ride to the pools. So much room and multiple places for people to have their own relaxation space as needed was a big plus. Overall, fantastic place and highly recommended.

We have stayed in several places on 30A in recent years with our children, and this was far and away the best. Watercolor beach club and camp watercolor access is huge, as is the ability to rent a golf cart. We will be back.

We loved Watercolor and Staying at Forest of Dreams! We had never been to that area before and found it to be an exceptional location. Close to pools, tennis, pickleball and walking paths. Very close (walking distance) to “downtown” Seaside. The house was clean and comfortable and the wristbands were very convenient to pick up. It was a great stay!

The house was in the middle of everything, a great location for our stay. We had an issue with the fire alarms in the middle of the night, and the maintenance company was there within 20 minutes of calling and fixed the issue. Highly recommend!
Owner was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions. The house was clean with everything we needed. We enjoyed the bikes and the Watercolor Trolley was very helpful in getting kids and beach gear to the beach.
Would definitely stay there again.
