Located on the south side of 30A, this well-designed condo, Beach Hat, is just steps away from Watercolor’s newly renovated Beach Club, private beach access, restaurants and shops. Throughout the home rich, honey-colored wooden floors are offset by mostly white décor, creating a serene yet welcoming space. The first level of the condo features an open concept kitchen, living and dining room flooded with natural light from a wall of windows trimmed in bamboo shades. Balconies on both levels are perfect for early mornings or late afternoons, with gorgeous Gulf views available on the second level of the condo. Upstairs on the second level, you’ll also find the spacious master suite, with white board and batten walls and a natural wicker king sized bed. Beach Hat is perfect for a couple’s getaway or family of four beach trip thanks to a sleeper sofa in the living room and downstairs full bath with jetted tub and shower.

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, 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!
