Overview
House, 3 Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths, (Sleeps 6-8)
The vision of WaterColors Southern origins, the respect for the existing natural features and the intimate small-town planning is what you will see while vacationing in WaterColor.
The two-story house is tastefully and comfortably decorated and gives you the sense of being 'at home' the moment you walk through the front door. The two king-bed master suites upstairs each open onto their own large balcony for complete privacy. A third bedroom with a queen bed on the first gives enough sleeping space for the kids or a third couple. Each bedroom has a private bath. While sitting on the front porch you can enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine while overlooking a park.
A short walk to the neighborhood pool or a 15 minute walk to the beach and enough activities for all ages keeps everyone happy. Walk to the town center for dining and entertainment or drive to any one of many world-class restaurants located on Scenic 30-A.
We provide passes to all pools and beach club. We also provide 4 adult-size bikes and if you have a need for child-size bikes, we work with a company that can provide the appropriate bikes and/or equipment. The house is well supplied for your stay with beach towels, chairs, toys,, and just about anything to call our home YOUR home!
PLEASE CALL FOR AVAILABILITY
Everyone deserves a special getaway, let WaterColor be yours!

About Pam Oertel
Ken and Pam live in Tallahassee, Florida, and built their Watercolor house in 2005.
We can't find enough time to spend in Watercolor so enjoy sharing it with others.
Pam Oertel purchased this house in 2005
Why Pam Oertel chose WaterColor
Destin is a short drive from Tallahassee, making it a perfect weekend getaway. Once there, however, it is hard to leave!
What makes this house unique
The peacefulness of WaterColor and the numerous activities -- whichever you want. The many golf courses in the area and the dining is superb. We can bike to so many places we rarely need a car.

Great stay!!
Beautiful house, comfortable beds, beautiful beach, great fun to ride bikes throughout the community!
Perfect vacation house
My family (includes my wife and 2 small children) recently stayed here and were blown away at the beauty of the area and the home. Not sure what Chews is talking about...my 2 year old walked to the beach and didn't complain so I would not put too much stock in that review. However, bikes should be your primary mode of transportation. We parked our car and barely used it during our entire stay (except for some groceries and a trip to Rosemary beach). Rent this place and you will not be disappointed!
Perfect family vacation
This was our first visit to the Seaside/Watercolor area, and we will definitely be back. We loved this house. It was quiet, beautiful, and we felt extremely safe. We parked our car, and we didn't have to use it the remainder of the week. We could easily bike and walk everywhere with our 2 daughters (ages 1 and 2 1/2). Maybe "Chews" can't read a map or gets lost easily, since I am by no means a marathon runner, and had no trouble pushing a stroller to the beach. Pam was very accommodating, and she made sure we had everything we needed. Watercolor is a fantastic town for a family vacation, and this vacation home was perfect.
LOVED THIS PLACE!!!!
We rented this house in October of 2015 and had a blast. We had 5 adults and two girls under 3. We rented one of the bikes with the cub carrier for the week and the girls loved it. It was the perfect way to see the area. I really liked how the house was on the edge of the neighborhood, there seemed to be a lot of noise coming from houses in the center of WaterColor at night. The house is beautiful and we really enjoyed the upstairs balconies attached to each room. The kitchen was great, the bar is big enough that we were all able to sit around the stove while my wife cooked dinner and we weren't in her way. The owner, Pam, was a great help directing us to rentals and advising us that WaterColor only allows 30 golf carts on the ENTIRE property. It saved me a lot of money and it was nice to have rentals taken care of beforehand. Perfect beaches, perfect house, perfect location, and perfect weather made for an amazing week. I Highly recommend this place.
Response to Chews
WE LOVE THIS HOUSE! First off, it is very clear from the description of the house that it is located "off the beaten path," which my family found to be very nice, since it is much quieter than the rest of watercolor. It is located next to a lovely park and a preserve, so if peace and quiet is your thing, this house is perfectly situated. Pam is extremely helpful and friendly and goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is absolutely as perfect as possible. I do not understand "Chews" complaints about the walk to the beach. It is a 15 minute walk on a flat surface, you may take a well maintained and landscaped path all the way to Watercolor towncenter and the beach. I highly suspect anyone without a major disability would have trouble making this walk, especially one who is a "marathon runner" and "professional cyclist." I suppose some people just look for things to complain about. The house is comfortably furnished and the beds are the most comfortable I've ever experienced. I was so well-rested after my stay I didn't want to leave. The kitchen is easy to cook and entertain in, there is a roomy dining room table for family meals. However, there are so many fabulous restaurants nearby I don't know who would want to eat in! I highly, HIGHLY recommend this house!! 10/10
Perfect
A perfect home with all the amenities. Great rental experience. Will return!
