About this property

WaterColor Park District - Private beach access & amenities!

Welcome to Coastal Retreat! Tucked gracefully within the prestigious WaterColor community, this elegant four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence can sleep up to 10 maximum guests and offers an inviting blend of coastal sophistication and relaxed comfort. Thoughtfully designed across two spacious levels, the home captures the essence of beachside living with its open interiors, refined finishes, and seamless connection to the outdoors.

Ideally situated, guests enjoy full access to WaterColor’s private beach (0.3 miles away), pools, the Beach Club (0.4 miles), Camp WaterColor, and the famed Seaside amphitheater (0.25 miles)—all just moments away. Five adult bikes are provided for scenic rides along winding trails, and a complimentary seasonal trolley service adds to the ease of exploring the community. Everything you need is steps away. Golf carts can be rented from Electric Cart Company if desired, but definitely not needed due to the perfect location.

The first floor hosts all four bedrooms, each featuring a private en-suite bath. A serene primary suite presents a king bed with a custom headboard and a spa-inspired bath complete with dual shower heads. The second guest bedroom has a new king bed and private bathroom with dual sinks. The third guest bedroom has a queen bed and a private bathroom with dual sinks. A charming bunk room with full-size bunk beds and en-suite with a bathtub creates a perfect retreat for younger guests. A screened porch off the bedroom corridor provides a peaceful spot to enjoy the soft coastal breeze.

Ascending to the second floor reveals a bright, open-concept living area, where a welcoming lounge flows effortlessly into a gourmet kitchen fitted with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and slate flooring. Two adjacent dining spaces—one seating twelve, the other four—invite memorable gatherings after a day by the sea. Expansive porches on this level create additional opportunities for outdoor living, framed by the serene neighborhood landscape.

This WaterColor haven beautifully blends elegant design with a highly coveted coastal location, offering a refined lifestyle amid one of Florida’s most enchanting beachfront settings.

Beautiful home with everything you need. It is so close to Seaside food trucks and shopping and watercolor beach club, too-very quick and easy walk over. Lots of great porches, and nice that bedrooms were on the lower floor.

Adult vacation

Coastal retreat was a perfect Watercolor property. Alexa was so easy to work with and was so accommodating. We have stayed at homes in Watercolor and a seaside for 20 plus years and this location is perfection. The home was sparkling clean and exactly as advertised. I would certainly book this home again and would recommend highly to anyone considering a stay in Watercolor.

Extended Weekend With Family

We loved this property. Plenty of room for family of five. Took advantage of camp watercolor, the watercolor inn pool and the beach (using bracelets). Easy access to Seaside and Grayton Beach too. Alexa was fantastic and took great care of us. Will definitely reserve again. Highly recommend.

Thanksgiving at Watercolor

We had a great stay at Watercolor over Thanksgiving 2023- thanks Alexa! Alexa is very prompt to reply to all messages and made everything extremely easy. The house was super clean and great for our family of 6. The best part of the house is the location- just steps to the shops at Seaside! We hope to be back!

Perfect New Year’s getaway

We enjoyed this property very much. The location was perfect for an easy walk or bike ride to the beach club or the tennis courts. It is also ideally located to walk to Sea Side. The property accommodated our group of seven well. It was clean, and it was just as described. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the beds were very comfortable. Alexa was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions. We hope to stay here again in the future!

Seaside Fan Trip

Our stay here was great! The property was exactly as depicted in the photos. All bedrooms were downstairs in a long hallway, which actually made nap times and bed times easier for everyone. Upstairs was the kitchen and living area, and we all loved going up there and spending time together. The property manager was very responsive the few times I had to reach out (late checkout related). I did notice underneath the beds hadn’t been cleaned before our stay. I think the cleaning people may have forgotten to get under our bed. I still give it 5 stars for clean because everything else was clean! The water color membership was an added bonus if you’re bringing little ones. Beach days are long, so it was nice to change it up. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful relaxing MDW in WaterColor

Our group of friends had a wonderful MDW at this home! We were three couples plus an infant and caregiver and found the house to be the perfect size and location for us. It’s walking distance to Seaside downtown and the WaterColor beach club, and has multiple porches to relax on when you’re home. The host was extremely helpful and responsive as well. We would absolutely try to return, and highly recommend this home to anyone!

Amazing House!!!

The house is absolutely gorgeous and perfectly located. We visited with three generations of family and there was plenty of room for us to spread out. The kitchen is well stocked and we cooked every night and ate in the screened porch. It's a short walk to all the shops and beach at seaside and we biked to the pool and all over watercolor. Alexa was a wonderful host. She was very responsive and accommodating. We will be back!

Watercolor 24

Great visit! Nice property w plenty of room for 3 families. House was in a good location in Watercolor and the access to amenities w Bch Club and Camp Watercolor was nice! Property manager was very helpful! Only minor concern was we couldve used at least a few backup rolls of paper towel, tpulet paper and extra trash bag or two…and one of bikes was without a chain so couldnt ride it. Easy fixes. Great overall experience!
