About this property

Morning Star — Coastal luxury w/plunge pool, golf cart, & carriage house

This classic four-bedroom home with timeless curb appeal sits on a sun-dappled corner of Pine Needle Way in the premier Forest District of the Watercolor community. Designed to be both endlessly luxurious yet completely laid-back and welcoming, this quintessential coastal vacation home has tons of space— including a separate carriage house— and a plunge pool. There are also four bicycles and a golf cart fit for six for getting around. This is your family's new happy place on the Emerald Coast, located close to the Watercolor pools, the sandy beaches, and lots of delicious local restaurants and shops.

A super-charming front porch leads into the first-floor GREAT ROOM, where white shiplap walls and many windows make for a bright and open social space. The LIVING AREA includes a crisp, slip-covered sofa, four armchairs, and a large, mounted HDTV. Next to the living area is a formal DINING SPACE with a dining table that seats eight underneath an elegant chandelier.

The KITCHEN comprises stylish dove-gray cabinets, pristine quartz countertops, and timeless white subway tiles. In the center of the kitchen is a convenient island with seating for two, and the premier appliance suite features a Wolf gas range, a specious refrigerator, a dishwasher, and an in-drawer microwave.

The FIRST BEDROOM, located just off the living area on the first floor, features a chic king-size bed and an HDTV. This level also includes a FULL BATHROOM. Upstairs there’s an open space with a BUNK ROOM that includes a built-in twin-over-twin-size bunk, a sleeper sofa, and a LAUNDRY NOOK with a full-size washer and dryer.

The PRIMARY BEDROOM SUITE is a private oasis with a balcony, lots of natural light, a gorgeous king-size bed, and an ENSUITE PRIVATE BATHROOM with a soaking tub, step-in shower, and dual vanity. Another GUEST BEDROOM on the second floor has a king-size bed and a FULL ATTACHED BATHROOM.

The CARRIAGE HOUSE is a lovely, flexible space perfect for in-laws or older children. With a king-size bed, a sleeper sofa, and a kitchenette, this is an entirely private flat that will also keep guests close to the main house. There’s also a FULL BATHROOM with a step-in shower.

Back at the main house, the backyard is pure coastal bliss, complete with a PLUNGE POOL, an OUTDOOR SHOWER, and a LOUNGE AREA with a fire pit and a gas grill. With a location that keeps you just moments away from the sparkling Watercolor resort area and the world-famous Gulf of Mexico beaches, you’ll adore every moment you spend at this sumptuous home-away-from-home.

Wonderful Stay!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great week at the property! The location was great- a quick walk to camp watercolor & about 10 minutes to Seaside. The golf cart was a huge perk with the property. The parking passes helped save on parking as well when driving to the beach club! We would definitely stay again!

Excellent stay at Morning Star
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our two families thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Morning Star late July '23. House was clean, well appointed, and super functional. Despite being a rental, just about everything was well taken care of and 30A Luxury Vacations were absolutely amazing taking care of our minor little needs, with excellent communication. Would definitely stay here again, but you DO need the golf cart, as you're in the back of the neighborhood but close to Publix. It is much quieter in this portion of Watercolor, which is what we wanted. Super close to Camp Watercolor, which is great. Some minor things to tweak for next guest:Many kitchen cabinet doors were off the hinges, as well as a few upstairs vanities. New hinges or reconnect the doors to the hinges.Ice maker was blinking red and needed a new filter.Cleaning company used should pay attention to the corners of the showers, getting that deep clean, as well as making sure the golf cart is at least sprayed off.I parked in the driveway for a week over top of an ant hill unbeknownst to me, so that made for a fun drive home to Georgia. Otherwise, amazing stay and great house!

Brigid P.

Disappointing
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a nice stay but we feel like the home was overpriced for what we got. It seemed beaten up a bit...dusty, animal fur on outdoor cushions, and just a little dirty all around. We had friends stay near by who paid a lot less than us for a much better home with 20 ft ceilings, cleaner, and more square footage. Our house had bad water pressure, a drain that didn’t drain, and the “pool” had several issues. It wouldn’t heat and was murky.
