Welcome to Pocketful of Sunshine, a relaxed‑luxury 5‑bedroom, 4.5‑bath retreat in the heart of WaterColor designed for families and multi‑family groups who want both comfort and convenience on 30A. From four private king suites to a dedicated bunk room and included golf cart and bikes, every detail is crafted to make your time together feel easy, elevated, and unforgettable.

Step inside to a bright, open floor plan where coastal‑inspired interiors create a calm, welcoming backdrop for your stay. The main living area offers comfortable seating for gathering after beach days, while the adjacent dining space and generous breakfast bar keep everyone connected during meals and game nights. A fully equipped chef’s kitchen with premium appliances and high‑end cookware makes it a pleasure to cook in, whether you’re preparing a big family breakfast or a laid‑back dinner at home.

With four king suites and a true bunk room, the layout is ideal for multi‑generation trips or two to three families traveling together. On the first floor, a primary king suite features an ensuite luxury bath with a walk‑in shower, offering a convenient retreat for those who prefer to avoid stairs. Upstairs, a second primary king suite offers a spa‑style shower and private feel, joined by two additional king bedrooms with their own bathroom access. The dedicated bunk room features a twin‑over‑full bunk plus a twin daybed, comfortably sleeping up to four kids or teens, and there is a bonus built‑in twin bunk on the second‑floor landing that little ones will love. In total, the home sleeps up to 12 guests, including children and infants, without anyone feeling crowded.

Pocketful of Sunshine comes thoughtfully stocked with the amenities that make WaterColor so special. Your stay includes a 6‑passenger GEM golf cart and six adult bikes, giving you effortless access to the WaterColor Beach Club, Camp WaterColor pools and slides, multiple community pools, tennis, pickleball, dining, and shopping. WaterColor HOA wristbands for guests ages 5+ are included with every stay, so you can enjoy private beach access, resort‑style pools, and miles of scenic trails without extra amenity fees. Back at home, unwind on the screened porch or upper balconies with your morning coffee or evening wine, rinse off in the outdoor shower after a beach day, and take advantage of high‑speed Wi‑Fi, smart TVs, and a full laundry room for longer stays.

Set in a quiet, park‑like corner of WaterColor, the home offers a peaceful sense of privacy while keeping you just a short golf cart or bike ride from everything you came for. The Beach Club, Camp WaterColor, community pools, and scenic boardwalks are all within easy reach, with Seaside, Publix, dining, and shops only minutes away along 30A. It’s the kind of location where you can park the car and truly live by cart and bike for the week.

Whether you’re planning a cousins’ trip, a multi‑generation family getaway, or a celebration on the coast, Pocketful of Sunshine is designed to help you slow down and enjoy the moments that matter most. Settle in, spread out, and let WaterColor’s trails, pools, and Gulf sunsets become the backdrop to your family’s favorite memories.

This place was amazing! The host went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable! Perfect location to anything you need. My personal favorite was quiet time with coffee on the screen porch reading. We will be back, our extended family in NJ has already requested to be put on the invite list! Thank you for sharing your home.

Thank you so much for your kind words — it truly means a lot to us! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Pocketful of Sunshine and that you were able to slow down and enjoy those peaceful mornings on the screened porch! And the pink duck you left for us absolutely made our day — such a fun and thoughtful surprise! We love little touches like that and will be sure to keep it as a special reminder of your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’re especially honored that your extended family is already talking about coming back — we would absolutely love to welcome you all anytime! Thank you again for choosing our home and for taking such great care of it. We look forward to hosting you again soon!

Our stay at a "Pocketful of Sunshine" was great. The property was up to date, clean, and as advertised... It provided a lot of nice small amenities in addition to the normal things you would expect. For example, on the night stands they had wireless cell phone chargers, there were Alexa music controls in every bedroom as well as TVs. The coffee maker handled both pods and ground coffee. One of the local Watercolor pools is only a couple of hundred yards from the house.The Host was the main highlight in my mind. Every minor question was answered and taken care of immediately and she went out of her way to ensure our stay was beyond expectations. We would definitely stay here again and recommend the house to anyone wanting to stay in a house in Watercolor that included full access to all the Watercolor facilities.

Beautiful house and neighborhood. We enjoyed all of the various pools as well as the beach. The Trolley service to the front door really made it easy for the family to ride to the beach with chairs and umbrellas. We loved our time in Watercolor. We will return!

Great place for our family!

We all loved it! This was for our 50th wedding anniversary, and all our children and grandchildren came. The kids loved the beach and Camp Watercolor, the adults loved the great dining in the area, and we all loved the house - it was perfect for us! We had a problem with the door lock when we arrived, but the owner took care of it immediately. Everything else was perfect! We will certainly look at coming back when we have another special occasion.

A Beautiful Watercolor Home!

We have been coming to Watercolor for years and this is our favorite house yet! Sharon is very communicative throughout the process and super helpful with any need. Our children are young and were over the moon with be playhouse and dollhouse upstairs! We also loved having upper and lower screened porches. The golf cart was great and one of the nicer ones we have had. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!
