Weekend Getaway

We absolutely loved our stay at the Carriage House! Michael was extremely accommodating and communicative before and during our stay. The location is ideal and as it's part of the Watercolor, the amenities are amazing. For a couple, this is the perfect spot and we couldn't recommend it more!

Perfect long weekend getaway spot

We booked this property for the long weekend of Fourth of July about a month out. Everything was perfect and exactly what my boyfriend and I needed. Mike was so easy to communicate with! We will absolutely stay again!

Perfect stay

The property was as advertised. Everything was clean and comfortable. I really only slept there, but it was great for that. I used one of the bicycles on my first day and it was great for getting between Watercolor and Seaside. I would definitely consider staying again.

Great location

It was a great location! Very close to everything you would want to see in watercolor! Very humid inside the unit. Almost everything we had remained damp the entirety of our stay.

Fantastic place, great location, peace, quiet, and beach

We really enjoyed staying here. Very quiet neighborhood, 5 minute walk to beach, dining, etc. Bike riding through Watercolor is really nice. Comfortable, well maintained place, nicely equipped kitchenette. Communication with owner was very responsive. Flat tire on one of the bikes that came with the unit, the owner compensated for renting one from the bike rental place around the corner. We needed a relaxing vacation and this was perfect!

Great location and value

This is the fourth carriage house we have stay at in the area in the past two years. It is the closest we have ever been to the beach and beach club. There are larger and nicer places at Watercolor but they are more expensive. I thought this was a good value, especially with the beach chairs and bicycles included.

Weekend at Watercolor

The Carriage House was the perfect place for a weekend trip for two. Michael was a helpful host and we were warmly welcomed with a bottle of wine and a note with useful information. The little kitchen was all we needed for making coffee and snacks. It was a hot, hot weekend so we were thankful for the cozy and cool space. Watercolor is a great resort. We didn’t leave the property during our stay; everything we wanted was right there. We really enjoyed using the provided bicycles to ride around the neighborhood.

Location, location, location!

I have stayed on a section of 30A for many years and this is the best location for the money. It is an older property so keep that in mind when booking. It is also the smallest place I have stayed, however, it is a carriage house so that is to be expected. I stayed here for the amenities and location as I spent much of my time at a conference and by the pool or on the beach. I am cautious of traveling alone and felt safe the entire time I was in the area. I parked under the house and rode a bike the rest of the time. This was a great experience and I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Murphey

Host profile image
Thanks so much for your intrest in our property! Our names are Mike & Laura Murphey, this property has been our vacation home for nearly 20 years. We live in Atlanta, our favorite pastime is taking care of our three grandchildren. Laura and I enjoy meeting new people and learning new things, hosting guests in our home is a great way to do that. We hope you enjoy your stay at Watercolor as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

The home is close to everything: hiking trails, beaches,the Beach Club and Western Lake. Personally,I really enjoy hiking the trail system that winds through Watercolor. But probably my favorite thing is walking through the parks with my my wife and enjoying the beautifully manicured grounds.

What makes this property unique

Boring, but true...location, location location. Take a look at where we are on the map...you'll pay a reasonable price to be close to everything in one of Florida's top resort destinations. As part of this package, you will receive two wristbands that give you access to all Watercolor amenties for a fee of $15.50 per day.
