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.

Great family vacation!

We loved staying at Alexa's house in Watercolor. The location couldn't have been better! It was central to the beach, lake, camp watercolor and Seaside. We walked/biked everywhere! We loved how we could walk to Seaside for dinner so easily. No need to worry about driving and parking. We had issues with two of the bikes and the next morning Alexa had two brand-new bikes delivered. She was fantastic! It was a little chilly our first few nights in town and we wished the house had some extra blankets. But besides that the house was just perfect! We can't wait to come back and stay again soon.

This was a great experience! There were some minor housekeeping items to address upon arrival. But they were all resolved quickly by our host. Our host was very accommodating and helpful. We loved everything about our home. Location was perfect. The openness made it the place to be with our son and his friends. The front and back porches are amazing! I would absolutely stay again. It was awesome!

Ringing in the New Year

Our family spent a wonderful week on 30A after Christmas through the New Year. The house's location was perfect. close to tennis center, Seaside, and the "downtown" Watercolor amenities. The bikes included with rental made Camp Watercolor, Grayton and the beautiful trails accessible. The house has large front and back porches and two gathering areas on main level which made the property perfect for our crowd. Property manager was extremely responsive. Loved our time there. Will definitely return!

Perfect House - Perfect Location

This property fit our needs in every way. House was very clean and was just how it was described. We rented a golf cart, but really only used it to go to Publix. Everything else was either an easy walk or quick bike ride away. I had a couple questions about the bikes and the owner immediately texted back. Communication was above average before and during the stay. We will definitely stay here again.

Thanksgiving at the Bech

Our house was perfect for a Thanksgiving holiday. I searched for a place with a big table and a fireplace and a good location to Seaside and Watercolor’s pool and beach. The pools are heated to 83, so we could enjoy swimming. Bikes were fun, and Christmas activities put us in the Christmas spirit. Alexis, the host, was amazing.
