Welcome to The Summer Palace, a recently updated, refined WaterColor retreat including a 6 seater golf cart & 4 bikes in one of 30A’s most desirable beach communities. The newest SPF 50 LLC managed property.
I searched for years for the right WaterColor home and kept finding properties that needed updates or had layouts that simply didn’t live well. This one was different the moment I walked in.
Over the years, I have curated upscale rentals from the ski slopes to the beach, across a variety of communities and styles. This home reflects everything I have learned along the way. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered with our guests in mind, combining comfort, style, and functionality in a way that feels natural and easy.
The floor plan is effortless, designed for the way people actually gather, relax, and spend time together. Open and inviting when you want to be together, yet with just enough separation for everyone to have your own space when needed.
The home features four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two half baths, comfortably accommodating up to ten guests. Sleeping spaces include two king suites, a twin room, and a spacious bunk room, providing flexibility for both adults and children.
Your stay includes four adult bikes, and ten WaterColor amenity wristbands, making it easy to explore the community and enjoy everything WaterColor has to offer.
The outdoor living is just as special, with shaded porches and a cozy fireplace that make mornings slow and evenings linger a little longer. We provide high thread count, luxury bedding and spa quality bath products.
Staying at The Summer Palace provides full access to the WaterColor lifestyle, including resort-style pools, private beach access, miles of scenic walking and biking trails, tennis, dining, and seasonal community events. WaterColor is known for its thoughtfully designed, resort-style amenities that make this one of the most sought-after WaterColor vacation rental experiences along 30A.
Guests enjoy access to multiple pools throughout the community, including the family-friendly Camp WaterColor and the nearby Dragonfly Pool. The private beach club offers direct access to the Gulf, along with dining and sweeping coastal views, creating an easy rhythm between poolside relaxation and time on the beach.
Miles of scenic walking and biking trails wind through the community, connecting parks, dune lakes, and gathering spaces. Tennis courts, green spaces, and seasonal programming add to the experience, making this an ideal family-friendly 30A beach house destination.
Conveniently located near Seaside, shopping, and dining, WaterColor offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and upscale resort living on the Florida Gulf Coast.
WaterColor continues to be one of the most desirable communities on 30A, offering a vacation experience guests return to year after year.
Guests age five and older are required to wear wristbands when using community amenities.
It is the kind of home that feels effortless from the start and hard to leave. The kind of place you will find yourself returning to year after year.

I can’t recommend this place enough! We came for fall break with our 3 little kids, my parents and grandma and there was plenty of space for everyone. Mary Beth was super quick and responsive to our needs. The golf cart and bikes were a definite plus! The house was so beautiful and clean. Our favorite trip to watercolor so far. We can’t wait to come back!!!

Absolutely Perfect WaterColor Stay!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Perfect WaterColor Stay!
This home was truly perfect for our family! We were traveling with young adults—girls and a boy—and the layout gave everyone the perfect amount of space while still having beautiful areas to gather and spend time together.
The outdoor swing was an unexpected favorite and such a fun touch! We also LOVED having the golf cart there and ready to go. It made getting to the beach and taking advantage of all the wonderful WaterColor amenities so easy and enjoyable.
And the home itself—gorgeous! Beautifully designed, comfortable, and located in such a stunning neighborhood. It really had everything we could have wanted for a relaxing beach getaway.
We made wonderful memories here and would absolutely stay again. We’re already looking forward to coming back! ⭐️

We will come back!!
We’ve stayed at several properties managed by this company over the years, and this home was another fantastic experience. The property was exactly as described — clean, well maintained, beautifully furnished, and thoughtfully stocked for guests. The layout worked perfectly for our group, with plenty of room to relax both indoors and outside.
The location was excellent and made it easy to enjoy the area, while still feeling peaceful and private. Communication from the management team was prompt and professional from booking through checkout, and everything about the stay felt smooth and organized.
One thing we consistently appreciate about this company is the attention to detail across all of their homes. Each property has its own personality, but they all share the same high standards, comfort, and guest-focused touches. We would absolutely stay here again in the future.

Good location, right by the grocery store, nice small community and short golf ride to the the pools and beach area. For the most part the home was clean…some sand in the bunk beds. Otherwise, clean home. Didn’t have much

The location was great, nice quiet area and spacious home. Owners definitely need to invest in upgrading many things throughout the home, particularly the golf cart (windshield was hanging off when we arrived so we didnt have one the entire time), tv's, dishwasher (bottom rack wouldn't pull out), cooking wear, we had to purchase 20 hangers to hang our clothes (left them there for others to use).

Property was very clean, well appointed and perfect for our girls trip. Our only disappointment was that the internet and televisions were not in working order and although attentive to our requests, they were unable to fully be restored to working order before our trip was over.

Beautiful home close to the grocery store
Home is close to the grocery store & Camp Watercolor. Loved having access to the golf cart for use since the beach is a good ways away. There is no door on the bunkbed room just FYI. Home was furnished with just about everything we needed. Had an issue with one tv not working, rental company came out & replaced it. No issues. Loved our time there!

We had a wonderful time in Watercolor. The house is incredible! very clean and spacious! The ice maker was such a nice touch for loading coolers and such for the beach! The only suggestion I would make is to change the door lock to a keypad. Keeping up with the key and having people go back to the house at different times made it difficult! Outside of that, it was PERFECT!!!!
