We absolutely loved staying in this home. The location is perfect between the beach and camp watercolor. When my son lost his wristband, Miki quickly helped us get it replaced - her communication was amazing before and throughout our stay. The home is beautiful and was perfect for our family of four. We cannot wait to go back and will stay here again!

The Cozy Cottage was perfect for our family of 4. Ideally situated in the Watercolor neighborhood with easy access to Seaside via multiple walking paths just outside the back door. Biking throughout the neighborhood to town/pools/trails was a highlight. The neighborhood trolly is a fantastic convenience - just download the Watercolor Trolly app. Publix was a quick car ride and they do a wonderful job keeping the store stocked for one of the busiest times of year (July 4th). The home absolutely felt like our home away from home. We plan to return in the future! 🫶

From start to finish the overall experience as well as excellent. Jane and I have stayed at multiple homes in Watercolor over the years and this ranks among the very best. When we call Watercolor Jane’s Happy Place, the home is a big part of that experience. We look forward to the next visit, and we hope it will be at Miki’s property.

Beautiful cottage nestled in the trees. Private and very little traffic. Fun paths through the trees to walk to downtown center and fun bike paths everywhere! Close to shops, beaches, pools, chapel, and places to eat. Very clean home that has wonderful art work and comfortable furniture. Highly recommend!

Amazing place and location. Was perfect for our family of four. Well appointed and the location is a perfect fit for being close to town, the pools and tennis courts. The foot path out of back porch was a perfect shortcut into town that my girls loved. The owner is also very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful, clean and spacious home with everything you could need and in a great location! We loved taking the free trolley to the beach and beach clubs and the short walk to all of the restaurants and shops in seaside. The owner is wonderful and made sure we had a great stay and all of the information we needed. Cannot recommend this home enough.
