Staying at the Inn is great because you have your own pool just for Inn guests--all other pools are INSANELY and obnoxiously crowded. So if you are staying on property at a house, not at the Inn, good luck with enjoying the pool. Staying at the Inn, however, was very low key and enjoyable.
Great time. Biggest and really only criticism is that the beach is overcome with tight umbrella and beach chair setups. Feels like a money grab. Only front row can see the ocean easily and no other options. For the cost of staying at the inn, it should include a couple chairs and umbrella at the beach as it's a beach resort. Ive been to many beach resorts at a lesser cost and this was the first time i experienced this. We came FOR this beach and spent no time on it. Too inconvenient and detracted from the beauty of it that was advertised.
Incredible hotel stay! I don't believe we have ever had a better stay at any hotel. The newly remodeled Watercolor Inn is beautiful - everything is brand new, including the attached restaurant, Fish Out Of Water.
All personnel were friendly and helpful. Room service personnel brought freshly-baked cookies every evening. Pool is wonderful. Location is very good, being a short walk to Seaside.
We will never stay anywhere else on 30A.
This was possibly the most welcoming and well appointed room we have experienced in all of our travels. Very comfortable bedding but the moment we walked in, we were wowed. Only booked a standard room so didn’t expect the amenities, roominess, convenient hooks around the room which were incorporated into the lovely decor. Welcome basket of treats and a Treat Suite on each floor were a nice touch. Everything was conveniently located and a great spot to walk to Seaside to explore. Just loved the Watercolor Inn.
The staff was very friendly . Hotel lobby is a bit dated but the rooms are clean and have wood floors and a large bathroom. The view from the room was a gorgeous ocean view from a balcony with 2 high adorondeck chairs. Very quiet.
