We had a great stay at High Cotton. The house is beautiful and so comfortable! The kids loved the pool, the screened in sleeping porch and the culdesac to rides bikes. My favorite was the all season room to watch movies with the fireplace going! Deborah was great and responded quick if we needed anything. Will definitely stay here again!

Our experience at High Cotton was exemplary in every possible way. The host was so lovely, warm, helpful and responsive. I find that life can be at its busiest right before heading out on vacation and she sent just the right amount of information and number of well-timed reminders to ensure that we were well prepared and well-briefed ahead of time for a smooth and carefree kick-off to our getaway. The home itself is stunning, luxurious and thoughtfully appointed with anything you could possibly need--it was perfect for our multi-generational family vacation. The kitchen will meet the needs of the most discerning and demanding chef. The bedrooms and bathrooms were beautiful--we felt so pampered--and there is a beautiful office if you need a quiet place for work or a zoom. The bunk room/suite for kids is delightful and a special bonus is a cozy sleeping porch with hanging beds that gently rock in the breeze--perfect for an afternoon nap after a day at the beach. Finally, the location is ideal. You are a quick golf cart or bike ride to the beach club, to the heart of Seaside and to the nearest grocery store and Camp Watercolor is just a short walk from the house. Despite its proximity to all of the "action" in Watercolor and Seaside, the house is wonderfully quiet as it backs up to a beautifully wooded area. Serenity all around! We unanimously agreed that we would all happily and enthusiastically return in a heartbeat!

Our family had a wonderful stay at this property. This house was spacious with plenty of room for us to all enjoy time together, but also had space for us to be able to enjoy time alone as well. We all slept so soundly in the comfortable beds. The bunk room was perfect for the kids to bunk up together. The owners were so responsive and gave us many recommendations for activities and dining options in the area. The house itself is well equipped for cooking and dining at home as well. The location is perfect and easy to walk or ride bikes to Camp Watercolor. The golf cart was perfect for trips to the beach and beach club. We would definitely recommend this house and will return again one day!

We had an amazing stay in WaterColor, Florida! The house was absolutely beautiful—spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked, which made cooking and dining in a breeze.The beds were super comfortable, and we especially loved all the extra spaces to relax—the cozy sleeping porch, the welcoming front porch, and the air-conditioned sunroom in the back, which was perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach.The included golf cart was a huge plus and made getting to the beach and exploring the area so easy and fun. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base for our vacation. Highly recommend and would definitely return!

Great Stay at HighCotton in Watercolor

High Cotton was perfect for our family getaway with 7 adults and 13 kids. They were well stocked with everything we needed and Debbie the host was always available and communicative. Great location with easy access via the golf cart to everything watercolor has to offer. All weather porch on first floor was the perfect hangout spot and 2nd floor sleeping porch was a nice getaway for quiet time and reading. Pool alarm on door to pool area is a great safety feature with our little ones and the pool backing up to nature reserve allows for privacy. Great stay highly recommend.

Beautiful Home - Best stocked kitchen I have ever seen in a Rental!

This house is amazing. We were in town for a wedding, so we really didn't have time to take advantage of the area, or amenities. But I can say that the house was perfect for our 6 families. The porches are amazing, and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. It is truly a beautiful home. Amy

The Perfect Home in Watercolor

I have rented homes in Watercolor for many years and this is by far my favorite. We did a girls weekend with a big group and it was perfect! Everyone had their own space with each bedroom having their own bathroom and yet the home still had a cozy and intimate feel. The house is in immaculate condition (well-maintained and organized) and the owner is accessible, reliable, and truly cares about your stay. I would most definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in the Watercolor area!
