About this property

Quintessential Watercolor Beach Cottage

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!

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!!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
