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. The property can sleep up to 10 guests, but is most ideal for up to 6 adults and 2-4 younger children.

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 beach settings.

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!

Can’t say enough positive things about the house, it’s location (just walk out the back door and you’re at the seaside shops in minutes) and the host! We really enjoyed our stay and with young kids, the convenience factor to both seaside and the watercolor amenities were HUGE! Highly recommend.

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.

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!

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!
