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. Four 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.

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 23, 2026
Thank you for your feedback! Our home, like most of the other homes in Phase 1 of Watercolor, is a bit older (built in 2007). Phase 1 is the original section of the Watercolor community and the closest to the beach. We love that these homes have their own character and charm and are part of the original history of Watercolor. We prioritize the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of our home and are always making improvements to keep it comfortable and welcoming for our guests. As with most well-loved vacation homes, there can be some scuffs and signs of normal wear from guests enjoying the home, and we will certainly consider refreshing the paint in the near future. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and hope you were able to enjoy all that Watercolor has to offer!

House was beautiful and clean! Host was very responsive! The location was perfect! Less than a 5 minute walk to the seaside shops and 10 minute walk to Beach club pool or Camp Watercolor pool! The trolly made trips back home from the pool in the afternoons even better with never more than a 5 minute wait.

Thank you for your feedback. Our home is a two-story property, with all bedrooms on the first floor and the kitchen and living space located on the second floor. This layout is specified in the listing description so that guests can determine whether it is the right fit for their group before booking. As with any multi-level home, some sound between floors is possible, and we're always happy to work with guests during their stay if there is anything we can do to make their experience more comfortable. Many of our guests specifically love this layout because the second floor living area provides a beautiful, bright, and spacious gathering space for families and groups to relax and spend time together. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope you were able to enjoy the many amenities Watercolor has to offer!

This property was absolutely immaculate and beautiful! Terrific value for the money. The beds were comfortable. The home was spacious and well laid out. The kitchen had every gadget and tool you might need to prepare a delicious meal. But the house also was easy walking distance from all of the restaurants and shops in watercolor as well as Seaside. I could not have asked for a better vacation!
