Great Stay at Coziest Guesthouse by the Beach

This is a great property for a couple visiting Watercolor! The bed and bedding are fantastic, the small kitchenette is fine for two and the sitting area, bathroom are all well maintained and nicer than any high end hotel. Grocery and some restaurants are within walking distance which is a bonus.All Watercolor access is why you go to Watercolor and the WC Beach Club is one of the best, if not the best on 30A. WC Trolley was great and we never waited more than 5 minutes for ride to the beach club. This a great cottage! Highly Recommend!

Fantastic vacation!

We spent spring break week at the carriage house. So much to do in Watercolor and surrounding area. Highly recommend 30A and Tom & Leslie’s property. Two bikes provided and two wristbands for beach club. Be sure to inquire about best restaurants in area - excellent recommendations!

A short vacation stay with my son and his family and friends staying at a house close by.

Superb location close to everything. Great for one or two people who don’t plan on spending time inside but outside in the spectacular Watercolors amenities. Comfortable bed wonderful shower, nice comfortable sofa and table and chairs. A short one and a half block walk to ample parking.

First Watercolor experience

Wonderful spot in the best family friendly community. Beautiful amenities in carriage home and community. A bit crowded-but it was spring break season! Great time with many of our home town friends that also traveled down to seaside.

Great getaway for a couple

Perfect spot for a couple. Great size space for a couple, with king size bed, living room area, and kitchenette. Plenty of towels, which was so helpful for our longer stay. Parking is close by, but not right on site. Bikes could use updating, as unable to adjust due to salt air/age. Otherwise, fantastic place! (Golf cart rentals are now also available thru a specific company—ask about this. We were not aware of this change in Watercolor.)
