Welcome to Watercolor Retreat, a stunning pet-friendly home with a private, saltwater pool and 6-seater golf cart! The private pool has a spacious fenced-in courtyard including a built-in gas grill and multiple lounge areas, one with a large flat screen TV! (The pool can be heated upon request, for an additional fee). Step out into the back yard area to enjoy a gas fire table while soaking up the peaceful sounds of nature in the wooded area surrounding the home. With 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, this home is perfect for your family gathering, sleeping up to 12 guests. Tucked away in the quiet Crossings district of WaterColor, you can enjoy some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle in the Town Square, but still be close enough to walk, bike, or drive to many area attractions. When you're ready to get out and explore, hop on the golf cart or bikes to enjoy all of the amazing amenities the resort offers, including multiple resort style pools, boutique shopping, and some of the area's most sought after restaurants. This home is close to Seaside, Seagrove, and Grayton Beach as well!

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, roadblocks, 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 Cottage's 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!

Community Amenities
Hailed for its eco-friendly design and environmental stewardship, WaterColor effortlessly blends top-notch amenities with the breathtaking natural environment that has made 30A a world-class destination. Enjoy boutique shopping, fantastic dining and a multitude of outdoor activities; or simply soak in your surroundings with the community's many parks and green spaces.

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.

Golf Carts
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.

Property owner provides a golf cart for guest use as an added amenity when renting their property; however, this is not an amenity 30A Cottages can guarantee. Credits, refunds, discounts or vehicle replacements will not be offered if the provided golf cart is inoperable for any reason. Golf cart repairs can be timely and are completely out of our control.

Parking
Watercolor Retreat has designated parking for up to 4 guest vehicles in the driveway and the golf cart is parked in the mini-garage. Vehicles are not allowed in the garage. The golf cart must be stored in the garage when not in use. Rented LSV's (golf carts) must be parked in one of the designated, on-property parking spaces.

WaterColor also has public on-street parking throughout the community for overflow vehicles; parking is on a first come, first served basis and passes must be displayed at all times.

Great property!

The property was well maintained and beautifully decorated. It had every amenity you would ever want for a vacation. There was one tiny concern, but the property manager took care of it very quickly. She communicated in a timely manner and fixed the issue as fast as possible. The only thing that was not just right was the transom window in the downstairs bedroom. It didn’t have any covering. The front porch has beautiful lighting and it shines through those windows all night! Not very pleasant. But, overall a wonderful stay!

Great week at the beach

Our second visit to Watercolor and first to Watercolor Retreat. Excellent experience. Great house. Everyone loved the pool. Kitchen very well equipped. Second refrigerator/ freezer in the golf cart garage came in handy. First class golf cart. Access to the Watercolor Beach Club did not disappoint. Overall 10 out of 10.
