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.

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!

Love this house + amazing location!

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.
