You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Watercolor w/Carriage House, Kids' Loft, Bikes & WC Beach Club/Pool Access

Located in Phase III, Lake District, Stuck in the Sand is the perfect place if you like peace & quiet while at home, yet want to be close to all the action. With very little traffic on the street & alley this location is perfect for kids to ride bikes and play outside. They can also explore in the state forest that borders our home to the north... watch for deer and bears! Western Lake and miles of walking paths are just at the end of the block. By crossing over the lake bridge, it's just a five-minute bike ride to the beach. The Phase III "Frog" pool is just 2 blocks to the east and is usually very quiet compared to the Beach Club and Camp Watercolor.

Professionally decorated at a standard well above a typical rental, one guest has described it as having a contemporary beach/loft feel. This home is for the guest that desires, appreciates and will take good care of a "step above" rental. Original art from the owners' personal collection adorn the walls. Enjoy the canvases of local artist Justin Gaffrey, the 'Cuban Picasso' Jose Fuster and other pieces from around the world.

The main level features a custom kitchen that was just updated January 2022, with large island to gather & cook. Weekend chefs will enjoy the Wolf & Sub-Zero appliances including ice maker and a wine cooler, as well as All-Clad cookware and almost any other kitchen tool you may need. The open floor plan keeps the living & dining areas connected yet comfortable with large families. Some of our best art is featured under museum lights for a sophisticated ambiance. Enjoy watching the game on the screened porch that also includes another dining table and more casual seating. The laundry room is conveniently located by the back door to drop wet beachwear upon entry.

Walk up the sun-lit stairs and say hello to our mermaid, Rebecca who keeps a good eye on the house. She stands under the gorgeous glass chandelier that sparkles day and night. In the front portion of the second floor are 2 guest suites, both with queen beds and ensuite bathrooms. Both have access to a front porch furnished with Adirondack chairs. The master suite sits to the back of the house and includes a large walk-in shower as well as dual sinks and a walk-in closet. At the top of the stairs there is an office area (complete with printer for your convenience) that leads to a large side porch that features a swinging daybed, perfect for your afternoon nap or settle down with a good book. The breeze and view overlooking the forest are wonderful.

A spiral staircase leads to the third floor loft that has four twin-beds and a TV/seating area that is a great place for kids to sleep and play. The loft guests will share the larger guest bathroom that has a dual entry to accommodate both areas.

The carriage house is light & spacious with 12' ceilings. It features a large covered porch, complete kitchen and a separate living room and bedroom. There is a king size bed and full bathroom with tub.

In the backyard, enjoy the outdoor fire table on the patio and the outdoor kitchen with large BBQ, sink and plenty of space to cook. The bar table seats 4. There is an outdoor shower located under the carriage house stairs to rinse off salt & sand.

4 Adult Bikes are included.
The "Pool Fee" is the charge for the amenity wristbands that allow access to the 5 Watercolor pools including the Beach Club and Beach access. Watercolor offers a golf cart "trolley" service in season to assist trips to the beach or anywhere else in Watercolor. It's perfect for larger groups and little ones!

Please feel free to contact us to inquire about details important to you, or how we can make your vacation the best possible.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Wonderful home!
What a beautiful home! Accommodations were very comfortable and there were plenty of places for our group to gather. Kitchen was well appointed and the grill was great. We enjoyed the amenities of Watercolor. We loved the proximity of the pools and the beach and all the lovely walking paths. My family is voting to return.

Great House, Great Owners, Great Location
We had a wonderful time at this house. We've been coming to Watercolor for 15 years and have always enjoyed our time there. This house did not disappoint. Communication was great with the owner, and the house had everything you'd want in a Watercolor house. We enjoyed being in a quieter part of the property adjacent to the state park. Highly recommend this house and we'd love to come back.

Wonderful experience at Stuck in the Sand
This is a beautiful house that has all of the amenities of Watercolor included-bikes, towels, Beach Club and Beach access. Although it is in phase 3 there is a short cut to Beach Club and Beach if walking or riding a bike. The Carriage House was a nice bonus to accommodate our party of 11. The property manager responded to issues immediately (burnt out light bulbs, sticking screen door and air conditioner board was hit by lightening during our stay). The house also has top of the line cooking equipment. We really enjoyed the artwork/decor. We definitley would recommend this property for a peaceful beach vacation!

Outstanding vacation
We had such a wonderful time on our trip. It rained the majority of the time we were there which allowed us spend a lot of time in the house. The house was beautiful and most importantly clean. There was room for everyone and no one got in anyones way. The location was great, we rented a golf cart which was a lot of fun for the kids. Sharon was very kind and helpful leading up to the trip and during. We had forgotten some clothes at the house and she went out of her way and made sure it was mailed to us. We will definitely stay here again.

Exceptional Property in Quiet Area
This home was beautifully appointed with original art and very nice furnishings, yet they were utilized in a way that made us feel very comfortable and at home. It was also very well stocked with anything we could ever need in the kitchen, and we did a lot of cooking. The outdoor spaces and porches were lovely - plenty of room for our family to spread out. Travel by foot or bicycles provided us quick access to the most popular areas of Watercolor, yet we were in a very peaceful and naturally scenic area. The owner kindly and quickly responded to the only small concern we had. We’ve been coming to Watercolor Memorial Day week for several years, and I think everyone was in agreement that this was our best trip so far.

Everything we expected and more
Such a great property. We loved all of the outdoor living spaces. Plenty of room for everyone to space out. Kitchen was well equipped and we really appreciated the “extras” that were left by other guest. It was nice to have spices on hand instead of having to go out to buy them for 1 or 2 dishes.

Wonderful vacation
This was a great house for our group. The set up was nice. The only thing that could be improved would be the entertainment system. One tv did t work at all and the others were pretty small and outdated. Not a big deal as we weren’t in the house a ton but just an observation. The home owner was very gracious to let us check in a few hours early and she was very responsive to messages.
