Beth was a wonderful host and the carriage house was perfect for my husband and I. Loved how you could call the open air shuttle to take you anywhere in Watercolor. Location was perfect. Just a short bike ride from Seaside as well. Can’t wait to return!

We loved our stay at the carriage house. Everything was wonderful! The carriage house is clean and comfortable and beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfortable. The Watercolor area has so many amenities and is easily walkable. We loved having access to Watercolor Inn. Beth was a wonderful host and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. It was a birthday to remember.

Such a wonderfully appointed space to relax and unwind at the beach! Everything was aesthetically pleasing with every detail and amenity thoughtfully curated for guests. The beach club access was wonderful and allowed us to have pool access before check in and after check out. Beth has to be the nicest and most thoughtful host we've ever encountered!! She was the highlight of the stay! We will definitely be back!

I don’t even know where to start! Beth and Randy were amazing hosts, not only was everything on the listing 100% accurate, but they went above and beyond in every aspect of our stay. The place was spacious and incredibly clean, it was by far the best sleep we had on our roadtrip! The amenities that came with the room were amazing, my kids still talk about the slides at Camp Watercolor! Beth was so gracious and flexible with our early arrival and just made it all a breeze. My kids had the best time and none of us were ready to leave when the time came. This was the first time our family went on a trip without extended family, and it will always hold a special place in our hearts. We are so grateful for all the memories that were made and we all agree we want to come back every year - Thank you so much Beth and Randy!

The carriage house is very nice and close to everything in Water Color Resort. Beth was an amazing host giving us lots of ideas to do things with our kids and place to eat. We recommend renting a golf cart as its fun to zip around the neighborhood with them. The trolly at Water Color is also great as well. We will be back!

Molly and Scott were absolutely amazing! Our railing pulled away from our main home to the carriage house and came down after 25 years while they were staying with us and they actually went above and beyond to fix it brand more than new!! Who does that!? They did!!! Best guests ever! And Happy 40th to these two!
