Some of the best Rosemary Beach houses lie within the residential community of WaterColor. Located alongside Western Lake and bordering the Gulf of Mexico, WaterColor has never lost its small-town feel—it's a place where you can meander from shop to shop or pause to relax and reflect in one of the lush green spaces. If you enjoy water activities, WaterColor has something for everyone, including paddleboard rentals, kayak rentals, fishing excursions, and snorkeling. The pristine beach maybe the best part. You can rent an umbrella and lounge chair to relax and feel the stress melt away from you while the waves gently roll onto the beach

Outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers will love WaterColor vacation homes. Western Lake, a coastal dune lake, is surrounded by tall pine and scrub oak groves with nature trails that wind through the woods for a bike ride or morning stroll. You could also enjoy a picnic or reflection on the lake’s docks, or you can rent equipment for boating, kayaking, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding.
The climate in WaterColor can vary, but it generally has warm weather, high humidity, and sunshine most days of the year. The area is temperate, with the hottest months being June, July, and August, and the coolest temperatures in December, January, and February. For fewer visitors and ideal temperatures, the best time to book a vacation rental is the late winter or early spring.
Sitting between the stunning Western Lake and Emerald Coast beaches, you’ll never tire of the crystal-clear waters and shimmering white sands. If you long for even more nature, head on over to Grayton Beach State Park bordering the west of WaterColor. There is so much to see in this 2,000-acre park, you may have trouble deciding. You can catch a glimpse of the Florida black bear and deer that call the park home, or hike your way along the 1-mile nature trail that takes you through the scented pine woods and dazzling dune ecosystem
