The house was not only perfect for our family of 12 but the location was amazing. In watercolor but so close to seaside.

Wayward Sun is a lovely place and at a great location. It is close enough to the beach AND Seaside that it is walkable, but we enjoyed the bicycles that came with the house and rode our bikes everywhere. It was so convenient to just bring ourselves and our sunscreen and bike 4 minutes over to the Beach Club to pick up towels and go to our beach chairs/umbrella that we rented.
Ann was a great hostess, very responsive to questions.
Word of advice: definitely lock up the bicycles with the provided locks. Teenagers to just pick up random unlocked bikes and “borrow” them, they just leave them somewhere else.
Next time we go to Watercolor we will be staying again at Wayward Sun!

We’ve stayed in many condos in the area over the years, but this one was our favorite! The location is terrific! The condo itself is beautiful, and the owner, Ann, was very helpful throughout the process. So many extras, such as bicycles, dedicated icemaker, hooks in all the right places. There is even a library for renters to take a book and/or leave one. Also, there was plenty of hot water for when everybody wants to take a shower when getting home from the beach in the afternoon, unlike at some of the condos we stayed at in the past. I’m going to try to stay here again next year if possible!

We have been vacationing in Seaside/Watercolor the past five Summers, and this home is by far our favorite. The location can’t be beat, and the house is so clean and welcoming. Ann was so responsive and made sure everything was ready before we arrived. We will definitely be back

We couldn't have asked for a better location, house or host. Every detail of the home was perfect and you could tell the host went to great measures to make sure of it. We've rented several houses in the past but never a place where it truly felt like a home and not a rental.
The kitchen couldn't have been more well-stocked - it had everything we needed and more! There were extra pillows and blankets, chairs and a wagon to take to the beach, and a library of books. I could go on and on. The host, Ann, was a delight and handled any question we had cheerfully and promptly. It is the only property I've ever taken the time to review and was by far the best home we've ever stayed in. I'm already looking forward to our next stay here!

We stayed her for Spring Break with 7 teen girls and 3 moms. Chose the house because of the location and the number of rooms. Each adult had her own master suite and shared the bathrooms with their daughters. There was also a powder bath and hallway bath. The teens slept in the bunk room and the teen lounge. The bedrooms were roomy and the beds were very comfortable. The size was perfect for us and we loved the roominess of the kitchen and family room. From the back porch we walked a path that led straight to the Seaside shops within a couple of minutes. We were also close to the Water Color Beach access and either walked or rode bikes to the beach.
The landlord was easily reached by text with questions and luckily we did not have any problems while there. Highly recommend this house!

Wayward Sun is a wonderful property. Great location, close to Seaside and other amenities. House was roomy enough for our family of 10. Loved sitting on porch in early morning, listening to the birds sing and watching the squirrels play.

This house is great! Part of our group had stayed here previously and raved about it! The house was comfortable enough for our group of 12. Ann was so sweet to work with. Would definitely stay here again. And soon!!

We've stayed in Watercolor/Seaside for many years and each year at a different property. Wayward Sun is near the top of the list of properties we've stayed at. The owner was very responsive and helpful. The home itself has a very good layout for a 2 family stay (we had 9 total with 5 teenagers) and is in good condition. The real draw of Wayward Sun, and maybe most importantly, is the location. It's tucked back in a back ally and while it is Watercolor, it's a 5 minute walk from Seaside square. The WC tennis courts and Seaside church are steps off the back porch in fact (a very short walk through a beautiful wooded area). It's a short bike ride to the beach/WC Club/Boathouse also. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone and I'll be looking to see if it's available when we revisit WC/Seaside again.

The home is perfectly located and the rooms and exterior are smartly furnished with conversation and play areas. It was easy to communicate with Ann who manages her home. The watercolor amenities were close by and we had a short cute directly into Seaside as well. Great family home! Very cozy and well stocked.

It was our second time to stay in this home. It is a great house in the perfect location. We all had an amazing week of family time!

The house is in an ideal location to walk to town or take 5 minute bike ride to the pools/beach. It was located on a private drive with a cut through path to town. There was plenty of space and the house was extremely clean. I highly recommend!

Ann's home was perfect for our family. Everything just as it appears in the pictures. Comfy king beds in each bedroom and a bathroom with each. Lots of privacy for each group and large community spaces on both porches, the kitchen and in the living room. Well stocked kitchen with groups in mind. Location in Watercolor is halfway between the Beach Club and Camp Watercolor. Easy biking or walking to the town area too. Communication with Ann was easy and prompt. Cannot say enough good things about our experience on this trip.

Paradise in Watercolor
After a long, delay filled day of travel, walking into this house instantly lifted our spirits. The home is even better in person than depicted online. It is spacious and charming, filled with many little touches that really make it a special place. The amenities of Watercolor can't be beat, the ocean front beach club was our favorite. The location being a quick walk to the town center of Seaside an added bonus. Hope to return again soon!

We have absolutely no complaints! Great house for a big family and located right in the middle of Watercolor. It was the same distance to the beach club as it was to the camp water park. We had all ages and wished we could have stayed longer!

This was our first time to 30A. There were 9 of us. We weren’t sure if the kids would like Camp Watercolor or the beach more. We decided on this house because it is exactly halfway between the two and I’m glad we did. I loved that Seaside is 1 street over with the food trucks and shopping super close but you get to use the watercolor amenities. We all thought the house was better and bigger than it appears in the pictures which almost is never the case. The owners response time is so fast. I would highly recommend this house.
