After only a few steps inside "Stress Free" you will notice all of the unique details that were painstakingly selected to provide you with the luxury vacation of your dreams.
The custom kitchen, located on the first floor, is a chef's dream featuring a 6 burner gas stove, two dishwashers, and a gorgeous concrete range hood that is the focal point of the kitchen. The kitchen opens up to the living and dining spaces. The dining table, which seats 12, is crowned by an oyster shell chandelier and the living space provides the perfect location for the family to gather on the comfortable furniture and play games, relax or watch the big game.

Travel down the hall to the second master bedroom which has a king sized bed and ensuite bathroom featuring a beautifully tiled walk-in shower and double vanities. This master bedroom also has a private, screened in balcony where you can enjoy that morning cup of coffee or the late night breezes from the swinging day bed while looking out over the wooded area to one of the walking trails. As you walk towards the opposite side of the hallway, you will find a guest bedroom with a king sized bed and ensuite bathroom with a shower only. Just a few steps more and you are in the second floor den area which features a sofa and big screen TV, as well as access to the front balcony which is furnished with a swinging day bed and a table and chairs.

What a great experience house was amazing and clean and everything we needed was. Watercolor as a property was awesome kept our 5 kids busy. Seaside & Watercolor are walkable as long as you are somewhat active and if not the golf cart and bikes are great to get around on. Cannot recommend enough.
We have been coming to Watercolor for the past 9 years and this property is by far our favorite. The layout was perfect for our group. The design and attention to detail was amazing. We will definitely be back.
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 minor issues getting things to work in the house (lights, the gas fireplace) when we arrived, 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.
We loved everything about our stay at Stress Free! Lucky us that our 360Blue rental fell through and they had no inventory. VRBO and Dune Vacation Rentals to the rescue! This place is 5 stars! We all loved every minute and found ourselves hanging around the house instead of going to the pool or beach some days. We had other friends over one evening, and one remarked "let's make the owners an offer they can't refuse!". Beautiful home, beautiful property. Thank you guys so much!
Stress Free was a wonderful place to stay for our large group of extended family. We enjoyed the roominess of the house, the top of the line appliances, the pool & screened porch. We enjoyed riding bikes to the beach. Checkin was easy. The staff at Dune was very attentive. Would definitely stay here again!
Our family had a great time at this first class home. Only suggestion would be changing to a salt water pool instead of chlorine. It was too strong for our kids eyes. Great area and managers were first class. 5* home and amenities.
