WaterColor Inn & Resort

Another Fantastic visit! This was our second trip to Watercolor and the place has grown and changed and is still top notch and has even more to offer now. We were there for July 4th and had an unbelievable fireworks show we could see from our balcony. Watercolor is a large community and there are single family homes as well as the "Inn" which is a small hotel, and countless amenities and activities. The grounds are absolutely immaculate and the staff is top notch consistently. I can't say enough about the staff members. Plenty of great quality food options and we really enjoyed the complimentary snack room to grab a few snacks, coffee, etc. They have several pools and an adult pool for those traveling without kids and wanting more of an adult experience. My daughter loved Camp Water Color which is new (and not truly a "camp", kids need to be supervised, but a great addition). If I had to offer one suggestion it would be more chairs at Camp Water Color as there seemed to be plenty of space for them and all chairs were occupied. Beach area is super nice and well maintained and not overly crowded as it's a small resort. Highly recommend.

I’ve stayed at the WaterColor Inn twice—once with my daughter for a girls’ trip and once with my husband, both times in mid to late April. This resort has become a favorite and is one we will definitely return to. The beachy, spacious rooms with thoughtful touches like fresh-baked cookies at turn down are wonderful. The private beach access is incredible and the 30A beaches are second to none! We always make reservations with the beach service so we’re assured a pair of seats and an umbrella. We’ve never even explored the resort pools since we’re always drawn to the sparkling gulf waters, but the pools look amazing as well. The complimentary bicycles offer a fun and easy way to pop over to Seaside, which is just minutes away by bike or on foot. I recommend doing some research as to when the very busy spring break weeks are in March and early April if you want to avoid huge crowds. The 30A towns have enacted some curfews for unaccompanied teens that you’ll want to be aware of if teens are part of your family’s travel plans. (The curfews are very much needed and we were thankful they were being enforced to help slow down the rowdy teen scene that develops during high-visit times like spring break.) WaterColor Inn is a family-friendly, relaxing, charming resort that is the very best of 30A in our experience. We’ve also stayed in Rosemary Beach and found that scene to be greatly lacking in character and entirely overrun by influencers. WaterColor has a more genuine vibe and is better suited for families, in my opinion. I can’t wait to return to the WaterColor Inn in the future!

My family had the most wonderful time and experience at Watercolor Resort. Everything about our stay was top tier but especially the staff were all friendly and attentive. It was our 10 year anniversary and we were so specially taken care of by the resort. Randy, who is one of the friendly faces to greet you as you enter was just terrific. We all agreed he made our trip! He helped with recommendations, reservations, resort needs and special gifts for our anniversary, among many other things. We can’t wait to come back!!!
