Guest access
WaterColor was named the #1 family vacation destination in the US, and was also recently on the cover of Southern Living magazine! WaterColor is one of the most desirable neighborhoods on all of 30A! This charming neighborhood of the 'Emerald Coast' along the Gulf of Mexico is known for its white sand beaches and Caribbean-like waters, casual-Southern vibe, beautiful coastal dunes, great water-front dining options, and friendly people. It is a 500 acre community with award winning tennis facilities, and acres of parks + gardens + fountains + pathways throughout!
Conveniently located right next to the town center of Seaside and Grayton Beach State Park in Santa Rosa Beach, this neighborhood of charming coastal homes and mature tree-shaded streets is the place to be!
Nestled in WaterColor’s residential area, the WaterColor BoatHouse sits on the Western Lake, a coastal dune lake, and is where you go for water adventure rentals and experiences of all types! Rent kayaks, SUP boards, canoes and more! They have lesson, tours, workout classes and fun experiences for all ages!
WaterColor is such a beautiful community, and there are so many ways you can explore! Walking, biking (4 adult bikes are provided at the house), paddle boarding and kayaking. (can be rented from the BoatHouse which is just a short walk!).
If you need more than the 4 bikes provided, the WaterColor Bike Barn, located next to the BoatHouse, is a convenient walk to pick up a bike and spend the rest of your day exploring the area’s extensive woodland trail system. There are miles of scenic nature trails through preserved state park forests and around the area's coastal dune lakes. If you prefer sticking to the pavement, pedal through WaterColor’s residential lanes and enjoy the shaded roads. Stop for a glass of wine at The Wine Bar around the corner, then continue your tour taking in the gorgeously-designed homes of this exclusive waterfront enclave.
There are lots of LSVs in the area since they are street legal on the majority of Highway 30A!
Guests will have inclusive access to the new Camp WaterColor facilities! This entire establishment is geared towards kids and has: main butterfly pool with monarch slide, caterpillar pool (zero-entry + children's area with skipper slide), lazy lizard pool (zero-entry + lazy river), lifeguards on duty, The Canteen restaurant + bar, basketball court, playing field, and playground.
Additionally, guests will have access to the newly expanded + renovated WaterColor Beach Club. It features a huge main pool and lounge area, additional pool deck with even more lounge seating, and third pool area with zero-entry (perfect for even the littlest kids!). It also has dining service available, and a sunset bar, Costa Chica. All of these amenities have beautiful views of the Gulf!

A Location
Location is unbeatable, with easy access to all that both Seaside and Watercolor have to offer. 5-10 min walk into Seaside, yet you still get access to all of the Watercolor amenities. Quiet, shady street. We stayed as 6 adults and 5 kids/babies and all fit very comfortably. Great house with lots of amenities, like access to the golf cart (makes it very easy to zip over to the grocery store, for instance). Comfortable furniture and beds. Would definitely stay again.

Great location
We loved our stay in Watercolor! Everything was so convenient - just a short walk or bike ride to anywhere you could want to go in Watercolor and in Seaside. The pool at the house was perfect for the rainy/cloudy days because it was heated and worked out perfectly for the kids. We would stay again!

Great location for both Seaside and Watercolor.
Loved the location, the enormous patios, included cart and bikes. The ability to heat the pool in the cooler months is another differentiator. Hard to go wrong with this place.

Wonderfully located beach house
We had 8 adults and 2 kids. House not crowded at all. Plenty of inside and outside seating. Golf cart made getting around in the community very easy. Beach club was an easy walk. House was exactly as expected. We plan on returning.

Great Watercolor Stay
Our family really enjoyed our time at this home. This was the best location of any of our Watercolor stays so far - a quick, 5 minute walk to the beach or beach club pool, and a short golf cart drive from the camp watercolor pool and seaside. There was more than enough space for us all, and the heated pool truly made the trip. One note - the grill did not work, even after maintenance came to take a look. We just barely got the burgers cooked, but luckily they finally did more or less.

Perfect Paradise
Our stay here was an absolute dream. From the moment we pulled up to the moment we left, everything was perfect. This house is much bigger than what you see in pictures. The pool was wonderful and very warm, the weather was in the low 60s at 50s at night and we swam everyday and every night. The neighborhood is gorgeous. We cannot wait to come back. Thanks again for this dream come true vaca!
