July 4th at Stress Free
What a great experience house was amazing and clean and everything we needed was. Watercolor as a property was awesome kept our 5 kids busy. Seaside & Watercolor are walkable as long as you are somewhat active and if not the golf cart and bikes are great to get around on. Cannot recommend enough.

Wonderful Stay at Stress Free!
We had a perfect vacation at Stress Free. The house completely met our expectations and was as advertised on the website (no surprises!). Check in was easy and the house was super clean upon arrival. Communication with the management company (Dune) was exceptional -- thorough and timely. My kids really enjoyed the pool in back and we enjoyed the trails for running and walking. Everything was in close proximity to this property and we enjoyed much of what Watercolor had to offer in terms of the pools and beach. We had a few minor issues getting things to work in the house (lights, the gas fireplace) when we arrived, but Dune responded quickly and sent somebody over to assist us on Christmas Eve. We really appreciated the attention to customer service. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay at Stress Free again.

Phenomenal!
We loved everything about our stay at Stress Free! Lucky us that our 360Blue rental fell through and they had no inventory. VRBO and Dune Vacation Rentals to the rescue! This place is 5 stars! We all loved every minute and found ourselves hanging around the house instead of going to the pool or beach some days. We had other friends over one evening, and one remarked "let's make the owners an offer they can't refuse!". Beautiful home, beautiful property. Thank you guys so much!

Great Place for Extended Family Vacation
Stress Free was a wonderful place to stay for our large group of extended family. We enjoyed the roominess of the house, the top of the line appliances, the pool & screened porch. We enjoyed riding bikes to the beach. Checkin was easy. The staff at Dune was very attentive. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful home
Our family had a great time at this first class home. Only suggestion would be changing to a salt water pool instead of chlorine. It was too strong for our kids eyes. Great area and managers were first class. 5* home and amenities.
