Watercolor is a traditional, cozy beachfront home waiting to greet you with the sun's pastel morning colors and bid you goodnight with vivid sunsets and a star-filled sky. The house features Brazilian hardwood floors, stylish shiplap and an abundance of natural light.

The first floor features a bright vaulted living space anchored by a custom fireplace and sided by a wall of beach-facing sliding doors. It flows into the handsome dining area that easily accommodates ten and provides a wet bar. The nearby multi-chef kitchen boasts a sizeable island with plenty of prep room and breakfast bar seating as well as high-end stainless appliances, well-stocked kitchen necessities, custom cabinetry, and granite counters. Enjoy making and savoring meals here or step out onto the covered porch where you'll find not only a hot tub and rocking and lounging chairs, but also a deck with a teak dining set and grill. From here, a private boardwalk leads onto the beach and into the ocean.

Back inside, a large, first floor, built-in library offers many books and movies. (Games and puzzles for all ages can be found on the upper level.) A Queen bedroom offers a walk-in closet and has a tiled bath, with a large walk-in shower, just outside its door. Across the hall, a Queen Suite, with a California closet and full bath (with a soaking tub) grants private access to the home's back porch.

Upstairs, a loft with skylights is furnished with two extra-long Twin beds, each with a trundle. While these Twins are ample for an adult, this area's conversation/ TV space makes it an ideal spot for kids. Beyond, the Owner's Suite dazzles with panoramic views from inside or out on its private porch. The master suite features a king bed, a large walk-in closet, granite vanities and a sea glass tile bench shower with rain shower head and wand.

Please see the amenities list catering to all members of your family. TV's are located in each bedroom and the family room.

Whether enjoying swimming, building sandcastles, dolphin sighting or stargazing, you're sure to create wonderful lifetime memories at Watercolor.

Very clean and the kitchen had all the little items that you needed. the location was just right for enjoying the sunset. the only thing I would like to see is an updated golf cart. It was very slow and the headlights so bad that driving at night was very difficult.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was wonderfully equipped for a week at the beach. Great kitchen had everything a person could need to cook up some wonderful meals. Loved not having to bring beach chairs, umbrellas and toys etc.. House had it all! The only downside was the early construction at the home next door.

Nice place, but showing wear

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House needs a little TLC. Somewhat worn, and a few fixtures/appliances were broken or inadequately working. Mold on outside of house. Not enough empty cabinet/refrigerator space for renters. Good location, though. Would recommend it simply for that.

The Perfect Vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house could not have been more perfect! Having worked all of my life in the forest products industry, specificly hardwoods, I greatly appreciated the high quality of the interior. The functionality of the decks virtually brought all of the positive aspects of the oceanfront location inside. The quiet and rest expected at this time of year was greatly exceeded! We have never felt so relaxed and rested. This was truly the perfect vacation!
