About this property

EXQUISITE WATERCOLOR CARRIAGE HOUSE! SLEEPS 2-4-COME TO THE BEACH & ENJOY 30A!!

This Luxurious Carriage House, 'Goin' Coastal' in WaterColor at 142 Pond Cypress Way in Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459 is the perfect vacation rental. It is separate from the large private home and its spacious studio-like room with 15-foot ceilings and gorgeous hardwood floors fits the needs of friends on a get-a-way, a couple on a romantic weekend or a small family with room for a couple of kids. In addition to the plush king bed there is also a queen convertible sofa bed and plenty of room for cribs or extra luggage! Keep in mind that this is one big room so the sleeper sofa is in the same room as the king bed ;)

The large comfy sofa is the perfect place to watch sporting events or movies in front of the large flat screen TV. The kitchen is ideal for quick meals and has a full-sized fridge, sink and microwave. There is no stove, oven or washer/dryer as we assume you will be enjoying one of the many restaurants in the area and not cooking or doing laundry while on vacation! The full bathroom includes a shower, tub and large sink area with room to spread out as you get ready to go out to a nice dinner or a walk on our pristine white beaches to view our incredible sunsets.

The cozy carriage house is on a quiet corner in Phase II and overlooks a beautiful pond. We are steps away from one of WaterColor's nine gorgeous pools. Guests will get up to four amenity bands and that is the maximum we are allowed to have via our HOA rules ;)

WaterColor was voted the #1 Family Resort by Travel and Leisure and is the perfect place to enjoy the perfect beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. We have just completed the new Camp Watercolor with two pools, slides and a lazy river as well as the Watercolor Beach Club with three pools and three restaurants. There is nothing like this on the coast. Numerous activities are available such as biking, kayaking, surfing, tennis, golf, hiking and incredible restaurants for the family as well as just adults. Having come to 30A for 15 plus years with four kids ourselves WaterColor has great access to wonderful responsible babysitters that will treat your kids as their own. The southern hospitality is like no other and you will find yourselves coming back year after year like we did before we made this our home. Come and enjoy the vacation you deserve and remember... a day at the beach is worth a million in town!

This was our first stay in Watercolor and the carriage house was the perfect choice! It was so welcoming and comfortable; tucked back in a quiet part of the neighborhood. Beth was an excellent host and always so quick to answer any questions. Look forward to visiting again!

Amazing stay, hosts and location

Spring Break stay with our teenage daughters. Perfect location for the pools and to ride bikes or walk to the beach. Hands down Beth and Randy were the most accommodating hosts we’ve ever come across with several VRBO rental experiences. This place is a favorite!

Perfection

We had a perfect stay at Beth’s carriage house. Our family of 4 felt that there was plenty of room in the carriage house. Most of our time was spent in Seaside or in Watercolor. Beth was immediately responsive- really for little questions or recommendations- as we had zero issues during our stay. We’ll be back for sure. Thank you Ms Beth!

10 stars review

We quite enjoyed the quietness and very laid back atmosphere with our stay at the carriage house. Still had the amenities of the Watercolor Inn but none of the business of staying at a hotel. Beth and Randy wonderful and very accommodating hosts. Very clean and so comfortable living area. Will definitely reserve again

Perfect location and hosts

We came down to the area for our sons proposal. Beth went above and beyond helping me find florists, food, everything I needed to throw a quick engagement party. The carriage house was the perfect spot for my husband and I to stay. Wish we could have stayed more then 2 nights. We will be back! Beth made us feel more like family than guests.

Amazing Time!

We had an amazing time! Beth and Randy were great and checked in with us regularly to see there was anything we needed. The carriage house was beautiful and in a great location right near Camp Watercolor. It was just a short trip to the Beach Club or the Boathouse. The amenities were wonderful and we can’t wait to come back! This trip couldn’t have gone any better. These are literally the best owners I’ve dealt with.

Carriage House

The carriage house was clean and comfortable for the two of us. Close to grocery store, five minute bike ride. We enjoyed having the bikes to ride around in the Water Color neighborhood and to the beach. Beth was an exceptional host, made sure we had everything we needed and even came to pick us up after our dinner because the trolley had stopped operating for the evening. We enjoyed visiting with Beth and Randy, and meeting Gunner their dog.

Wonderful Stay in Watercolor

My husband, two daughters (ages 8 and 10), and I just finished staying at this property for a week over Spring Break. We had such a lovely time! Beth and Randy are amazing hosts and very responsive and friendly. The location of the carriage house is perfect! Is is right around the corner from Camp Watercolor and also near several ponds with turtles and great walking and biking paths. The 30A area can be very busy over Spring Break, but Watercolor was a welcome relief from the craziness of Seaside. We definitely recommend this property!

What a perfect spot

We loved it! Beth was such a kind host and we had everything we needed for our little family. The bed was comfy and kitchenette helped cut down eating out. The beach is a short drive away and the pool is walkable, we really appreciated being able to use all the watercolor amenities. Fish out of water was our favorite restaurant… close, delicious and a great view. If you go to camp watercolor get there before they open to get a seat, they fill up quickly. My son had an emergency dr visit while on the trip and even that was close, I think it was a minute clinic. Overall, great stay and we would love to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Beth Carroll

Host profile image
My family has been coming to 30a since 1994. We fell in love with the area and built our dream home and live in the main house full time. We can't imagine living anywhere else on the planet. We have found our slice of paradise and love when our guests love it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Because there are only a handful of carriage houses in Watercolor that don't have to be rented with a big main house. Perfect for a few friends or a small family or a couple. The price can't be beat considering you get to enjoy nine pools and a private beach club and bikes come with the guest rental. We have repeat guests year after year and think it's an exquisite carriage house that is perfect for your get-a-way.

What makes this property unique

Watercolor has more pools than any other resort on 30a. Nine pools, slides, lazy river. Private brand new Beach Club, Beach and Camp Watercolor for the family.
