Privately owned and remodeled, this is a classic beach house on an idyllic street in the Lake District of WaterColor. The home fronts a three-acre, manicured neighborhood park with the national forest just beyond the park. It has all modern conveniences, many beautiful interior finishes, and all new furnishings. The front of the house has a large porch with wood columns and plenty of seating for family gatherings. Enter the house and you’ll immediately notice the soaring two-story ceiling, giving the house an open, airy feeling. The floors are knotty pine throughout. The dining and living room are in the front of the house. The dining room has seating for 10 and the living room has a large, down-filled couch, a love seat and two oversized chairs. There is also a gas fireplace.

The kitchen is built for the gourmet cook in mind, with a 48” Jenn Air six-burner gas range and double door Sub Zero fridge, a new ice maker, new microwave and large kitchen island with seating. The kitchen is fully stocked, with spices and other dry goods, plenty of pots/pans and dishes, as well as all of the cleaning supplies you will need during your stay.

Across from the kitchen is the multi-functional room with a large pantry, laundry room with a new, full sized washer and dryer, a bar with a sink and a desk area.

Down the hall, there are two bedrooms, both with private bathrooms. One of the bedrooms has a queen bed and the other has two twin beds. Both bedrooms are recently redecorated with new mattresses, fine linen and flat screen televisions. The main floor also has a powder bathroom.

Upstairs is the master bedroom suite with a king-size bed, a new mattress and fine bedding. The master bedroom also has a large private office, the perfect place to get away to if you have some work to do. In the office is a single sleepr couch. There is a walk-in closet in the master bedroom and the master bathroom has 'his and her' vanities, a large oval soaking tub and oversized shower.

Behind the house is the two-story garage and carriage house. The garage/carriage house has a separate entrance and interior stairs that lead to the living space. The living space atop the garage includes a bedroom with a queen bed, writing desk and a small kitchen area with a fridge, sink and coffee maker. Adjacent to the bedroom, there is a finished, space with a door that has two, built-in twin beds, the perfect place for young children to sleep. The carriage also has a bathroom with a shower tub.

In total, our house sleeps 11 comfortably with the following bed configuration: king size bed in the master bedroom and single sleeper couch; queen size bed in guest room number one on the main floor; two twin beds in guest room number two on the main floor; queen size bed in the carriage house; and two twin beds in the carriage house.

The house is very close to the beach, just a short 10 minute walk or a five minute bike ride. Visitors access the beach through the WaterColor Beach Club. The closest pool is the Frog Pool which is just steps behind our house.

Another great amenity is the two acre park across the street. This manicured park is the perfect place for kids to play. Our house is in a quiet part of the Lake District so very few people use the park. Bring out the badminton or football or baseball for some pre-dinner fun.

Spring Break Family Fun
Rich and Sandra's Watercolor home was a perfect place for our family and friends to spend Spring Break. The home was the cleanest, and had the best amenities of any home we have ever rented. The location was excellent as it was walking distance to multiple pools in the community, the Watercolor Beach Club and Seaside. Communication with Rich and Sandra was easy and questions were always answered promptly. We would be happy to rent the property for a future Watercolor vacation.

Fabulous Watercolor Home for All Ages
We stayed in this fabulous home for the week of 4th of July. It is a beautiful home with attractive, comfortable decor. The kitchen is extremely well appointed, and organized to a T. Everything you need is here, including bicycles and lots of pool towels. Riding bikes around the community is the perfect way to get around. The Watercolor Beach Club is about 5 minutes away, reached by crossing the bridge over the lake. It was much easier crossing the pedestrian and bike bridge than going on the longer vehicular route to the Club. We rented a golf cart for a few days, because my in-laws do not ride bikes. We rented from the Electric Cart Company. Note that they have a pop-up office behind the Santa Rosa Publix. Each bedroom has an en suite, and everyone has their own space. The carriage house is just across the breezeway from the back door. Our in laws stayed in there and it gave them a bit a quiet time away from our teens. Our teens each had their own room in the main house and we were in the master. We had intended for my sister-in-law's family to occupy the carriage house, but they were unable to come. It would have been perfect for them and their toddler. Communication with the host is excellent. You can tell they personally care for their home by all the unique touches. They have a manager nearby which is very helpful. My daughter lost her wristband while surfing on an E-foil in the lake, and a replacement was brought over by morning. We'd stay again!

Can’t say enough good things about this home!
My family and my extended family stayed at this home and we absolutely loved it! It’s in a perfect location - on a quiet street, so easy to bike to the WaterColor Inn or Seaside and it was a block from the community Frog Pool! The home was beautifully decorated, spotless, extremely well organized, had everything we needed during our stay plus the bikes, kids toys for the beach, pool chairs, pool towels, etc. We travel quite a bit and this was the best VRBO we’ve rented! On top of all that, the hosts were great communicators and answered all my questions before we visited. I highly recommend this home for your 30A stay! :)

About the host

Hosted by Rich Laws

Host profile image
We live in colorful Colorado, where we enjoy the beauty of the mountains year round. We are empty nesters and we love spending our time with family and friends and traveling to new places.

Why they chose this property

We love the area and the beaches are amazing. We picked this area because the WaterColor community is so well thought out, with everything within distance of a bike ride. We love walking the trails, riding our bikes, going to the beaches and hanging out at Bud & Alley's to watch the sunset. The people here are great, displaying real Southern hospitality! We know you'll love your time on the Emerald Coast

What makes this property unique

We love this house because it's the classic beach cottage, with a great floor plan. It works very well for a large family, or a couple of families, or a girls trip or guys trip. The location is close to everything that WaterColor has to offer, yet its away from the crowds on Western Lake Drive. It is perfectly located and a short walk or ride to the beach, yet it doesn't have a lot of traffic. And it is right next to the national forest.
