WaterColor requires a wristband for all guests, 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 4 guests in this home at any time, and they will not issue more than 4 bands per stay. No exceptions can be made. 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!

We loved our stay here! The place was very clean and comfortable. It was so conveniently located, just a minute walk to the pool and beach. We loved walking around to the nearby shops and restaurants as well. Beautiful view, everything we needed for a nice stay. We stayed here with my husband and I and our three kids and we all fit perfectly. We had our two eight year olds downstairs on the pull out couch and they were very comfy sleeping there. Upstairs we had a pack and play set up in the master bedroom with us for our little guy and that worked very well. Plenty of room for all!

Jul 25, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great time at Watercolor This property was ridiculously close to the Watercolor Beach Club and beach. It was also right in the middle of the Watercolor shops and restaurants. It was a short walk, 0.3 miles, to the boat house for paddle boarding, and a 1.8 mile bike ride to the kids club pools. It’s on the third floor, but has an elevator to bring your stuff upstairs and down easily. The master bedroom was really nice and the top floor balcony has a view of the ocean. Our kids are 10 & 7 and shared the fold -out couch, which worked great for them, and having a full bath downstairs was a nice convenience. We would definitely stay here again. One thing to note: the beach access is only stairs, so if you bring a wagon full of beach toys, like we did, be prepared to have to carry your wagon up and down the stairs. ##### Spencer W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig M. Oct 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach Hat is a nice condo We enjoyed the condo—it’s a long flight of stairs to the bedroom, but we knew that going in. The design is unusual, so potential tenants should study the photos. The outdoor seating spaces were much appreciated (some cushions would improve it). Location ideal for those who enjoy resort atmosphere—lots of activities, kids, etc. After staying in other Florida locations, we were surprised and somewhat offput by the invasion of golf carts and bicyclists all around—and with sub-optimal nighttime lighting it all seemed hazardous. Watercolor has everything you need, mind you, but if need/want something else—access to non-resort restaurants, easy drive to a grocery store, uncrowded beach—you’ll find it a bit disappointing. If you don’t mind wading through heavy traffic for a grocery store visit and dodging teen-age golf cart operators, you’ll enjoy a lovely condo, excellent weather, and a clean, well-managed resort. ##### Craig M. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary C. Apr 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming and Perfect Location for our Anniversary Trip I thought this was a terrific condo and the perfect location from which to finally explore Watercolor and the entire 30A. We used the bicycles for hours a day (I recommend opting for a basket and headlights), being able to walk down the steps and pedal away was so convenient. We were also just steps away from the Beach Club, boardwalks to the beach, the too-adorable shops and FOOW (Fish Out of Water restaurant). We also walked or pedaled frequently to Seaside and to Grayton Beach to dine, shop at art galleries and go deep sea fishing. Another review mentioned the third story location but there is an elevator option so it's not a problem, we just enjoyed the views and the lovely treehouse feel. Only qualms in the unit is that compared to other VRBO's I've stayed in it's pretty sparse on supplies. We went to the nearby Publix to fill in with a bar of soap, TP, laundry soap, and spices (thankful for the bike basket!) Also the king bed was fine for us but very firm, as mentioned, and I wish it had a nice mattress cover - it's just a thin sheet over a hard mattress - it worked but def more utilitarian than luxurious. Overall I would happily come back to this unit. ##### Mary C. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rosie I. Jul 12, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Not very clean Unfortunately we noticed immediately after arriving that the house smelled very musty. It smelled like mildew to the extent that we had to go and buy plug in air fresheners and sent to candles to be able to manage the smell and tolerate it a little better. On our third day of the day, I actually pulled back the top sheets and blanket off the bed and found blood on the sheets not only on the flat sheet, but some on the top sheet that was underneath the blanket. red, dried out spots of blood. I immediately emailed the property management and received absolutely no response! Being a public health, nurse, it really disgusted me since I was aware that it could be a potential health hazard to sleep on those sheets. I fully expect an immediate response and housekeeping to be out there to provide fresh sheets, but none was given. we ended up sleeping on top of the blanket and not the sheets at all for our last day there. Something like this should not be overlooked and is basically inexcusable period. Will definitely not be staying at this property again! ##### Rosie I. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kelsey H. Nov 14, 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Misleading I felt mislead to show up to the listing and it was a third floor apartment. This isn't described anywhere in the listing and after 10 hours of travel and driving in circles for 15 minutes just trying to find the building, we were very disappointed. When we arrived, sand was the floor in the living and the master bedroom comforter reeked of mildew. It got into the 40's the first night we were there and we were freezing. They very quickly fixed the comforter problem the following morning but the longer we stayed, the more we found. Silverware and scissors were sticky and dirty. Cups that hadn't been cleaned and an elevator that banged and skipped almost every time we got on it. We felt very unsafe on the elevator and took the stairs the majority of our visit. I am 6 months pregnant and we have a 2 year old so this was not easy! If the property would have been clean and the customer service a bit more accommodating, or at least apologetic about the misleading listing, we would have loved it. The location was great and the apartment is VERY cute. It just wasn't clean. We unfortunately won't be back. ##### Kelsey H. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Josh T.

Once we arrived, there was no need to drive anywhere. The beach, pool, and restaurants were steps away. Will be back next year! ##### Laura W.

Location was FANTASTIC! We traveled with our 2 year old and walking to the beach every day was so easy! Literally footsteps away from the beach club. The watercolor amenities are fabulous! We enjoyed the cozy treehouse feel of our apartment. It was clean and comfortable and very well stocked. The views from the top patio were awesome! We had a great stay and will plan to stay again. ##### John & Miranda D. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CJ R.

Located right up front by the pool. Beautifully decorated. Just the right size for a few adults. I was alone enjoyed it tremendously. Everything was very clean. Reaching management was very easy. I love the style of the bedroom bathroom combination. ##### Kim B.
