Our family vacation was exceptional this year with a stay in Watercolor and the Stress Free house. The house was really extraordinary with plenty of room for all 13 of us to spread out. Beautifully decorated and with a fabulous kitchen, the house was very comfortable and in a perfect location — close walk to Seaside and a tram’s ride to the Beach Club. There was plenty to do with bikes, walking trails and small pool in the back yard. I mistakenly left a few things behind on our departure. Dune realty couldn’t have been more accommodating in helping me get them returned. Great experience all around!!

by Dan & Kathy
5/5
Stress Free is the perfect place to enjoy Watercolor. The house is perfect for hanging out with grandkids or a group of adults. The screened in porch is wonderful for having lunch while taking a break from hanging out poolside! It’s also great for playing cards while listening to the rain The house has so much to offer - a spacious kitchen, dining, and living area Four bedrooms with king beds and full bathrooms give guests plenty of privacy. Also the third floor has a great sleeping and hangout area The casita is an added bonus- one of our family members was able to work up there and avoid any distractions coming from the kiddos It’s a great location with convenient access to Watercolor beach club and Seaside It’s been our Family’s favorite vacation

Couldn’t imagine a better home for a luxury vacation to 30A! We have stayed at many properties in Watercolor and this is the new unanimous favorite of our entire family. The house is stunning inside and out and it is clear that it is impeccably cared for. Every room is just perfectly decorated and in pristine condition and the art is amazing. The pool was so nice and the golf cart worked great. It was so fun staying a week here and no one wanted to leave. Can’t wait to return. And Dune was the best property company we have dealt with. Everyone was so nice and helpful and communication was clear and professional. A perfect trip to 30A!

This home offered much more than we expected. Beautifully decorated, fantastic art work and the best floor plan imaginable. Everything you could possibly need was provided. We worked with Alicia from Dune Vacation Rentals. She was very responsive during our check in and throughout our stay. Five star service!

Stress Free exceeded our expectations. The pictures are beautiful, but truly don’t do it justice. It is stunning, impeccably clean, and well stocked. We had plenty of room to spread out and we loved the pool area. It’s shaded and so nice to have with smaller children. Alicia was so helpful and accommodating. One of our bikes got a flat and it was fixed in 2 hours. Thank you again! We will be back!!

We have consistently appreciated the service from Dune Vacation Rentals - this was our 4th time to rent one of your properties. The broken (unusable) kitchen dishwasher was a huge inconvenience for a group of 15 people. The one working dishwasher was in another room and very inconvenient. We would ask you to consider giving us a discount on renting again next year. Please let us know as we are exploring rental options for next year. Thank you.
Amazing stay, gorgeous home, attentive service

Alicia made our stay perfect from texting even before we arrived to assisting after we checked out. The home is so beautiful, yet comfortable at the same time. It was well appointed and we had everything we needed for a great beach vacation. The home stands on its own, but Dune’s service made it even better!! You will not be disappointed.
Wonderful family home

We had a fabulous week at Scrub Oak Circle with our family of 16. Beautifully decorated and well stocked home. Dune was staff was incredibly helpful and responsive. Not a single detail was missed with our service. Location was perfect for trips to Publix, walks to seaside, and bike rides over the boathouse bridge to beach.

Stress Free is a great house for a large group. It was very tastefully decorated with great artwork. You will not be disappointed. I had not rented through Dune Vacation Rentals before, but I have to say they are excellent. They respond rapidly, and Alicia specifically was most helpful.

5/5
We had a perfect vacation at Stress Free. The house completely met our expectations and was as advertised on the website (no surprises!). Check in was easy and the house was super clean upon arrival. Communication with the management company (Dune) was exceptional -- thorough and timely. My kids really enjoyed the pool in back and we enjoyed the trails for running and walking. Everything was in close proximity to this property and we enjoyed much of what Watercolor had to offer in terms of the pools and beach. We had a few issues getting things to work in the house (lights, the gas fireplace) when we arried, but Dune responded quickly and sent somebody over to assist us on Christmas Eve. We really appreciated the attention to customer service. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay at Stress Free again.
Wonderful Thanksgiving week!
by Lawrence
5/5
This home is beautiful and was perfect for our family group of fifteen. The heated pool and outdoor fireplace area was a big hit, as well as the third floor bunk room and ping pong table. We enjoyed using the gourmet kitchen to prepare our Thanksgiving meal and there was plenty of room for everyone at the large dining table and porch table. Any small issue or question was promptly taken care of by the property manager. We will be back!

House is fantastic. Perfect for our large group of adults and kids. Having a elec vehicle was a game changer and we won’t think of renting again without one. Only negative was the bikes were old and beat up. Chains came off every time we used them. Newer equipment would have been better.
MANAGERS RESPONSE:
We have had our new bikes on order and paid for since November 2019. The Covid pandemic has really created a huge problem with deliveries from overseas. Thank you for your understanding.

This property is amazing and truly "stress free." We had the best time celebrating our Dad's 60th Birthday with a large group and this house was perfect for it. We enjoyed the usage of golf carts, bikes and most importantly the great hanging out space. We will definitely be coming back!
Stress Free
by Shannon
5/5
Stress Free is appropriately named. We had five household and four generations all housing together. It accommodated all our needs fabulously. The location was perfect to bike to the square or to the beach. The gourmet kitchen so well furnished for those wanting to cook. The bathrooms were gorgeous, the bedrooms were spacious, and beautifully decorated. Everyone in our party loved the home, the location and the amenities. It was a delightful week, and we will be back! And thanks Dune for being responsive to all of our needs!
Great home
by Patrick
5/5
Our family had a great time in this wonderful home and location in watercolor. Only suggestion might be to change to a saltwater pool instead of chlorine. It was too strong for our kids eyes. No complaints on the home and service from the property managers. They were all first class.
Management Response
Patrick, thank you for the kind review. We are happy your family enjoyed Stress Free. We are sorry to hear the chlorine levels in the pool were high, this must have been a malfunction in the equipment as this is a salt water pool. We will investigate to make sure this is corrected going forward. We hope you and your family come back again soon!
