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.

Beautiful home and absolutely wonderful location!! Steps from Seaside shopping and restaurants. Living area was great and host was very attentive and responded quickly to questions. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was well-appointed, the beds were comfy, the linens were fresh and seemed new. The kitchen had all the accessories we needed. I liked that there are 3 porches for everyone to spread out and enjoy. The location can't be beat. It was an easy 5-10 minute walk to the pools/beach, so we didn't need a golf cart. The host was friendly and responsive with all our questions. Our family would definitely consider staying here again! Thanks, Alexa!
The home was just the right size for our group (2 adults and 6 teenagers). The large table in the kitchen was perfect for meals and game nights. Cute and comfy living area for lounging. The location was the best part. My daughter and her friend used the bikes, but the rest of us enjoyed the short walk to every place we needed to go... the beach club, shopping, restaurants, beach, etc... Loved the location.
We had a great stay! The house was perfect for our multi- generational family vacation with 6 adults and 1 toddler. Nicely decorated plus cookware, games, toddler bed, etc etc. which made packing easier! The location is perfect for a 5 minute walk to Seaside and short walk to WC beach and pools. Also, quick and responsive communication with the host. Thank you!

Beautiful home with everything you need. It is so close to Seaside food trucks and shopping and watercolor beach club, too-very quick and easy walk over. Lots of great porches, and nice that bedrooms were on the lower floor.

We loved the location and the large gathering area upstairs. Easy communication and comfy beds. Only small suggestion would be better garbage bags for kitchen lol
