Second Visit!

This house was amazing. This is our second time staying here. We made lots of memories and had a great time. The upstairs screened porch is probably our favorite porch. We had so much fun being here and hope to come here again.

This is my first time in WaterColor and it has been a great time with family. This home is a lovely home for a big family and it was close to everything. We are having a great time. Awesome home, loved the location!!! We all had a great time and slept like babies!

Thank you for hosting our family! We love Seaside/WaterColor and make the trip down here annually. This is the perfect family vacay spot. Your home is one of our favorites we have stayed in. We are currently expecting the 1st grandchild and plan to book you home next summer when the sweet angel is earthside. Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing your home. We made beautiful memories once again here in WaterColor. Your home is serene and beautiful, and a great collection to our memories here. We loved going to Camp WaterColor, the Beach Club, and the Boat Club. This has been the perfect spot and we would stay here again!

We so enjoyed our week at Far Niente! The home was lovely, perfectly situated on a quiet part of West Lake Drive, so a quick walk to the Beach Club and the beach. Our three grown children and their six children, six years old and under, had plenty of room to gather and to spread out. Many happy memories were made. This is our third year to come to WaterColor; we'd love to stay again at Far Niente!

My family had a wonderful time at Far Niente. We enjoyed relaxing in the screened-in porch, but we also loved getting out and exploring. We saw a lot of deer and other wildlife. Camp Watercolor was fun and we loved Duckies too, In all, it was a great family trip and we made a lot of great memories.

What a wonderful home! We enjoyed a summer vacation before our daughter went to college and created lots of amazing memories. Thank you so much for being a part of that!

What a great house. Thank you for allowing us to stay. WaterColor is such a great location. The teenagers had a blast. This is a nice secluded location but close to the action. A great safe place for kids. Great library. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing your beautiful home. It was perfect for our two families with 4 teens and 2 tweens. Plenty of room for everyone. It was the perfect family vacation. The staff was also super attentive and helpful. Loved the book selection as well. Until next time!

This is our second visit to your lovely home! Our multigenerational family group has enjoyed another memorable visit. Your comfortable, spacious home provides for making family memories. We love the beautiful natural setting and the spacious floor plan. The kitchen is well equipped and the decor adds to the pleasant ambiance of Far Niente!

Three generations of family all found Far Niente to be a wonderful, accommodating vacation home for the week of May 16. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. The views from the back were delightful and the large dining room table and porch table were the location of numerous family meals shared. We loved the well equipped kitchen and how close we were to the beach!

Giant bedrooms and baths? Check! Spacious kitchen, multiple porches, and Wi-Fi? Check! Grill and too many TVs to count? Check! Beautiful view of the lake, a short walk to the beach and steps away from the Boathouse and pool? Check, check, check! This house was perfect for two stressed-out families to get away from it all. It is centrally located without being in the thick of things. Our kids loved biking to the Boathouse to go stand-up paddle boarding and fishing, and it was so easy to walk to the pools and beach. The house is giant, meaning that our vacation was free of fights over the bathroom or what to watch. And all the art is fabulous! We hope to return this summer. We loved seeing all the wildlife by the lake, and the bunk bedroom was perfect for four mischievous children. Far Niente is by far the best place we have stayed, and we cannot wait to come back! And P.S., the on-demand water heater is AMAZING!

Our family enjoyed our experience here tremendously. The grandchildren could not get enough of riding bikes. It is wonderful to know they are safe riding bikes from the beach to camp Watercolor back to the house. The location is wonderful. All families were able to space out when needed. Thank you for sharing your home.

A wonderful week for our family of ten adults and two small children. Loved the family time together in the kitchen, living and screened porch areas. Very quiet up here beside Western Lake. Enjoyed all the Watercolor amenities. We'll be back again!

We enjoyed a short Fall respite at Far Niente. The layout of the home was very thoughtful in being able to spread out while under one roof. The outdoor porches were perfect to enjoy the pleasant weather, and the gas fireplace came in handy a night or two! A neighborhood cat must've just had kittens; our little ones enjoyed watching them frolic outside, but weren't happy with Mom and Dad when they found out they couldn't take them back home! WaterColor is a wonderful development; this was our first time here, and we enjoyed many hours of biking through and discovering all the little parks, playgrounds and pools tucked away.

We had such a nice time at your lovely home. We've stayed at several other WaterColor homes throughout the years, and Far Niente has been by far the best!

What a wonderful stay we had at this fabulous house! Far Niente was absolutely perfect - location, amenities, design and layout. Our two families had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy privacy. The kitchen is a dream, and the screened porch overlooking the lake was well used. We enjoyed many meals and game playing there (and grilled some delicious fresh seafood!). Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us; it was a magical vacation!

Far Niente...the essence of doing nothing and enjoying it...and that is exactly what we did! What a wonderful home, lacking nothing at all for guest comfort. The backyard privacy overlooking Western Lake was so serene; we spent a lot of time on the screened porch just enjoying nature. We can't wait to return!

Wow...what a gorgeous home! We arrived for our early spring vacation to an immaculately clean and well-maintained house, with a management company that was wonderful to work with; you can tell they take care of their rental homes as if they were their own. We wanted for nothing while on vacation and hope to be able to return next year. Thank you for making our holiday special!
