Forest of Dreams - WaterColor 30A Home - Steps from Seaside!

4 Bedrooms, 4.5 Baths, Sleeps 12

Forest of Dreams includes access to WaterColor’s private beach, pools and amenities. It is located in the heart of WaterColor with close access to the Beach Club, Camp WaterColor, Boat House and the beach. It is also steps away from the cut-through to Seaside, making it a short walk to the Seaside square in less than 5 minutes. The home can sleep up to 12. Kids will have fun biking the trails out the back door while the adults can watch from the porch swinging bed.

The downstairs open floor plan includes 2 lounging spaces, perfect for the whole family. The front area forms a cozy reading spot and the back surrounds the television. In between is the gourmet kitchen and breakfast bar for 6. The large 8-top dining table and wet bar creates the perfect gathering spot. Off of the main living space is a screened in porch that backs up to Western Lake with peaceful views of the preserved land that surrounds the lake.

Upstairs, you’ll find the 4 bedrooms surrounded with windows letting in natural light. The master bedroom and bathroom face the quiet forest and include a private porch. The bathroom is spacious with a claw-foot tub. Next is the full bedroom with 2 full beds. The bunk room has 4 twin bunks, so much fun for kids. The coastal facing front queen room is loaded with sunlight and beautiful views from the windows. Private baths are connected to all rooms.

There is also an open office upstairs with French doors that open into a private porch for those that want to stay connected to both family and work.

Throughout the house has rustic restored floors that came from a barn in Georgia.

One of the best attributes of the house is the front porch, which is great for relaxing on the swing and taking in the neighborhood activity.

Wonderful stay!
We loved Watercolor and Staying at Forest of Dreams! We had never been to that area before and found it to be an exceptional location. Close to pools, tennis, pickleball and walking paths. Very close (walking distance) to “downtown” Seaside. The house was clean and comfortable and the wristbands were very convenient to pick up. It was a great stay!

Water Color weekend
Alexa, the property manager, was extremely responsive and a great communicator. Having owned to homes in the past in Water Color, it was great visiting the area once again. The home was in very clean condition and is located just a few minutes from shopping, dining and all of the amenities of Water Color, Seaside and County Road 30A. The home has everything one needs for an enjoyable stay!

As advertised, great vacation spot for families
We have stayed in several places on 30A in recent years with our children, and this was far and away the best. Watercolor beach club and camp watercolor access is huge, as is the ability to rent a golf cart. We will be back.

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.

Location and quality
You ever not want to leave a good review because you are afraid others will then book your place? This is one of those. The location, the comfort of the house, the amenities…I can’t speak highly enough of them all and also the owner was amazing to work with. Any and everything was answered or told to us on the front end which made it so easy to check in, know where everything was when we got there, and an easy check out. We will be booking this home again.

Awesome rental
This was a perfect rental property. Contact person (Alexa) was super efficient and quick to reply. Location is perfect, place was spotless. Only thing that could have made it better would be if they supplied trash bags/toilet paper and a little detergent. It seems silly to buy that when you don’t need that much for your stay so you basically leave extra. We will definitely return!
