Many of the communities along 30A are continuing to expand, so many more individuals can come enjoy the crystal blue waters of the Panhandle. Unfortunately, a side effect of this is construction and all the items that come along with it, such as noise, road blocks, etc. We understand this can be inconvenient for our guests, which is why we have chosen to make all possible guests aware of the possibility of this during their beach vacation. As most of this is outside of 30A Cottages realm of control, we are not able to offer discounts/compensation for any noise complaints, road blockades, etc. during a guest's stay. Please reach out to a team member with any questions you may have!

NOTE: When booking, please provide the correct number of adults and children that will be staying in the home. WaterColor requires a wristband for all guests 5 years and older, to allow access to the amenities (pool and beach) so you must provide the correct number of guests to ensure everyone will have access to the community amenities. We are not able to provide additional wristbands after your arrival, so it is imperative you inform us at least two weeks before your arrival if there is a change after the time of booking. The HOA will not allow more than 12 guests in this home at any time, and they will not issue more than 12 bands per stay. No exceptions can be made.
NOTE: Golf cart rentals in WaterColor must be made through The Electric Cart Company and will be limited to a certain number of vehicles (approximately 45 per week) throughout the community at any given time. Only one cart may be rented per home and rentals will be granted on a first-come, first served basis. Please contact Electric Cart Company directly for availability and pricing.

We had a great family vacation. The property is in close proximity to all Watercolor and Seaside have to offer. The home accommodated our party of 8 adults and 4 children. The screened in back porch was a fun place for everyone to gather. We would definitely stay there again. The only disappointment was upon arrival the refrigerator was warm and we found out it takes about 48 hours for it to cool down completely which was disappointing when we arrived with a weeks worth of groceries. We will be sure to plan for this on any future rentals at this property.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear your family had a great vacation and that the home worked well for your group of adults and children. It’s also wonderful that you enjoyed the screened-in porch as a gathering space—that’s one of our favorite features as well.
We really appreciate your feedback regarding the refrigerator upon arrival. We understand how inconvenient that must have been, especially with a full week’s worth of groceries. Your note is very helpful, and we’ll be sure to look into this so we can better prepare the home for future guest arrivals and avoid that situation moving forward.
Thank you again for staying with us—we’d love the opportunity to host your family again in the future!
This was our first time in Watercolor/Seaside (and 30a for that matter) and the stay could not have been better. The house fit our group of 4 adults and 4 kids perfectly and the pool was an absolute must have. 30A Cottages made the trip a breeze and we hope to book with them again in the future!
Thank you for your review! We're glad you found the property enjoyable and your experience smooth and hassle-free. We’d love to welcome you back again soon!
A wonderful home in a great location . Communications with the management were speedy , friendly and efficient . Would happily stay here again 😊

Loved our stay at 157 Scrub Oak Circle! The home was beautifully decorated, high quality, and in excellent condition! All bedrooms with private baths were large and extremely comfortable. The open living space including the outdoor covered patio with large eating area, and the lovely pool with outdoor table, chairs, and chaise lounges was enjoyed daily! We definitely hope to rent again in the future!

Thank you for the feedback Jana! We are so glad that you had a great experience staying in Beach Bliss. I could not agree with you more...this is the perfect house! I think my favorite feature is the accordion doors to the outdoor dining but it is a close tie with that amazing Master Bathroom! Haha! Please let us know when you are ready to come back to the beach and we would love to have you. Thank you and we hope to see you again soon! ~ The Staff at 30A Cottages & Concierge
Everything was great about Beach Bliss. It is a beautiful home and the management company was very responsive to all of our needs. They could use a few more nonstick pans for cooking as not all cooks are familiar with Cast Iron cooking and it would be helpful to have a larger washer and dryer especially now that Watercolor Inn doesn’t provide towels at the beach so we had to wash most days.

Outstanding location. Well furnished and open floor plan. The accordion style patio doors opening to the enclosed deck quickly became THE spot to congregate. Loved the six burner stove. Ample room for the 11 members of the family that traveled. The house was close in proximity to pools, shopping, dining and recreation. Would highly recommend.
The home is beautiful and roomy! The neighbors are very close by so know that when in the pool you can see neighboring guests. It was not a bother for us, but worth noting. It is a bit far into the watercolor community to walk places if you have little ones so if you’re looking for a walkable location that is also worth noting.
This was our second time to stay here and really enjoyed both times. Only problem we had was the refrigerator took forever to cool down. We bought food first day and it took two days to finally get cool . Other than that it’s an amazing house. Highly recommend
We enjoyed our time at this beautiful vacation home. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely go back to this house when we want to visit the beach.
couple of things that needed some attention were too many fire ants in the house, the freezer door needed extra extra pushing to stay close, the remote control for the pool light and water feature didn't work and the association never send anyone to fix it.
Other than this we loved this amazing modern house. Thank you for sharing with us for our family vacation.

Sepideh, thank you for the wonderful review! We have taken the items you reported under advisement and are working to resolve them. Please come visit us again soon!
This house is located in a quiet area in watercolor, with great access to the beach, pools, walking paths, etc. The house was a great size for 5 adults and 4 kids. The kids loved the pool, we all enjoyed the screened in porch. The kitchen has plenty of space to cook, dine, etc. Beds were super comfortable and it was nice that they here was plenty of bathrooms. A few cons to the trip: low shower pressure, fridge did not get very cool, and we did see some bugs/roaches when we left food in the open trash (it was much better when we did not leave food out). All in all we had a great time! We loved watercolor and would definitely go back!
Beach Bliss is a wonderful home. The house backs to the trees and the bike paths. It is a straight shot to Seaside's square and an easy bike ride to the Watercolor Inn and beach access. The pool is a great size, we could have adults and kids in it without too much splashing issues! You are two blocks from the Frog pool. The back porch is wonderful. The bedrooms are all super private and spacious. Two washer dryers are great. We rented a golf cart and with the 6 bikes provided never needed our cars. Our three families had a fantastic time and would stay again in a heartbeat!

Thank you for your review Jennifer! WE hope to host your return trip soon!
Other than the freezer and ice machine being broken and the mold/mildew on outdoor furniture our stay was fine. Unfortunately, the outdoor fountain and lights to pool did not come on with the remote.
The fountain would have been nice noise to drown out neighbors. The maintenance guy, Randy; however, was phenomenal and extremely helpful! Thank you to Randy!

Taylor, thank you for the feedback! We did send out maintenance to resolve what issues he could, but some items fell outside of his scope, such as the ice maker which required a third party vendor. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of their scheduling regarding these items and were not able to get them out during your stay. Our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience that was caused.
The house is beautiful. Seriously, gorgeous. So spacious, beds and rooms are comfortable. Each room has its own bathroom, kitchen is perfect for cooking while chatting and enjoying drinks with friends or family. Pool is small, but did not bother us. Neighborhood is beautiful and house has 6 bikes- the beach is about 8 minutes away (in bike). We had access to the pool club, but we decided to stay at the beach. Hannah was super helpful and called a few times prior to check in with us. There is a high fee for early check in, that was true only inconvenience. Overall amazing!

Hi Alejandra! We are so happy that you loved Beach Bliss! We agree that the house is gorgeous!!! You are right that it makes things very convenient for each bedroom to have it's own bathroom - everyone gets his or her own space! We are so happy to hear that the kitchen was a great fit for your entertaining needs, because it certainly is the heart of the home! So happy to hear that you enjoyed the ease of access to the beach and the bike ride through the beautiful neighborhood! Most of all, we are overjoyed that we were able to help make your stay so memorable, and look forward to having you and your family stay with us in the years to come!! ~The 30A Cottages Family

Hi Sonya,
Unfortunately, the previous guest departing broke the marble vanity on 1 of 2 sinks in the master bath and we were unable to repair this in one day as this is something that would need to be special ordered, we did however let you know before check-in. You did make us aware on your 2nd day that the pool heat was not working, we contacted our vendor and refunded your pool heating fee. The other issues mentioned were not brought to our attention. We do apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused you. Thank you for staying with us.

The house was just okay. I would not stay at that property again for what it costs. Property management was subpar some were nice some were rude
There were roaches, ants and spiders in the house. It needs pest control to spray and the refrigerator/freezer was not working properly
Your pool service guy is very nice and helpful

Anita, we appreciate the feedback! You did report seeing fire ants, but not roaches. We made an appointment with pest control regarding this. We also mad an appointment with the vendor for the fridge/freezer, but they could not come out during your stay unfortunately. We attempt to resolve issues to the best of our abilities, but are at the mercy of third party vendors and their scheduling.
We have rented thru VRBO for past 8 years and have been very pleased . We usually have direct contact with the owners but not this time. Have to say this time , we were disappointed with four things :1) ice machine broken 2) microwave stopped working 3) Grill didn’t work 4) Nail exposed on stairs
I will say that the microwave and grill were replaced next day and the nail removed . Just think for the rental cost , this house should be in better shape ! Otherwise decor, location , pool excellent.

Thank you for the review! The ice was unfortunately inoperable due to a leak, which required us to shut the water off and schedule repair for that. We do our best to resolve issues within a timely manner once they are reported to us, but as this is a vacation rental maintenance issues are expected. Please come visit us again soon!
The house was fine. We got a text message telling us that the dishwasher repair man was coming so we thought that it was broken. After 3 days of texting back and forth we discovered that 30A Rentals were texting the wrong house. Nothing was wrong with our dishwasher. They had the wrong family down for our week so the wristbands were in short supply but were able to handle correct the mixup. Had a great week.

This house is on a quiet street in one of the newer sections of Watercolor. It’s just a couple of blocks from the Frog Pool and only a 5 minute bike ride to to the beach. The house was clean and most everything was in good working order. The only bad this was the beds are super soft, but that is just a personal preference thing.

This was our second time to rent the beautiful Beach Bliss home. The home is comfortable, large, clean, beautifully furnished and contains everything a group would need for comfort. The kitchen has high end appliances and all of the dishes, utensils, pans, etc. that one needs in order to work in the lovely kitchen. The beds are extremely comfortable. The home accommodates all ages from the children who love the pool to those of us who are a bit older and enjoy the comforts the home provides. The staff at 30A Cottages met every need we had and always with prompt replies to questions. We look forward to returning next year!
