Picture Perfect
My husband and I (middle age) just returned from a 5-night stay at the WaterColor Inn and absolutely loved it. We were looking for a pristine beach where we could take long walks and a relaxing atmosphere. We'd never been to the 30A area, so we researched many other hotel options. WaterColor and the area didn't disappoint. Our room (401) was perfect, with an L-shaped balcony facing the gulf. We left the door open at night to hear the waves crashing. The room and grounds were clean, and the staff was pleasant and accommodating. We enjoyed the free bikes and kayak. Seaside town was an easy 1/2-mile walk. The pool was rarely busy. The soft rock-free sand melted under our feet, and the water was as turquoise and clear as in the Caribbean. Every night the hotel provided homemade cookies, even giving me my preferred gluten free version. We would stay here again.

Excellent Service and Staff
We had car trouble on the way down that pushed our reservation back a day, Watercolor Inn was flexible with our reservation and we were able to stay in the same or a similar room the entire stay. Randy and Jared are excellent and helpful on staff and made our stay special. This is a great spot for families with young children and we were very pleased with our stay overall.

The WaterColor Resort is magnificent! The service we received at property restaurants and area activity attractions was impeccable. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else now that we have found this jewel of a resort. We travel with small children and it is a perfect resort for families, but I can see how this would be a great romantic vacation destination as well. You will not find a better vacation spot in the panhandle!
