About this property

Remodeled*Near Pool*New Golf Cart,Bikes,Sleeps 10*New Mgt*Watercolor Amenities

  • Welcome to The Summer Palace, a recently updated, refined WaterColor retreat including a 6 seater golf cart & 4 bikes in one of 30A’s most desirable beach communities. The newest SPF 50 LLC managed property.
    I searched for years for the right WaterColor home and kept finding properties that needed updates or had layouts that simply didn’t live well. This one was different the moment I walked in.
    Over the years, I have curated upscale rentals from the ski slopes to the beach, across a variety of communities and styles. This home reflects everything I have learned along the way. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered with our guests in mind, combining comfort, style, and functionality in a way that feels natural and easy.
    The floor plan is effortless, designed for the way people actually gather, relax, and spend time together. Open and inviting when you want to be together, yet with just enough separation for everyone to have your own space when needed.
    The home features four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two half baths, comfortably accommodating up to ten guests. Sleeping spaces include two king suites, a twin room, and a spacious bunk room, providing flexibility for both adults and children.
    Your stay includes four adult bikes, and ten WaterColor amenity wristbands, making it easy to explore the community and enjoy everything WaterColor has to offer.
    The outdoor living is just as special, with shaded porches and a cozy fireplace that make mornings slow and evenings linger a little longer. We provide high thread count, luxury bedding and spa quality bath products.
    Staying at The Summer Palace provides full access to the WaterColor lifestyle, including resort-style pools, private beach access, miles of scenic walking and biking trails, tennis, dining, and seasonal community events. WaterColor is known for its thoughtfully designed, resort-style amenities that make this one of the most sought-after WaterColor vacation rental experiences along 30A.
    Guests enjoy access to multiple pools throughout the community, including the family-friendly Camp WaterColor and the nearby Dragonfly Pool. The private beach club offers direct access to the Gulf, along with dining and sweeping coastal views, creating an easy rhythm between poolside relaxation and time on the beach.
    Miles of scenic walking and biking trails wind through the community, connecting parks, dune lakes, and gathering spaces. Tennis courts, green spaces, and seasonal programming add to the experience, making this an ideal family-friendly 30A beach house destination.
    Conveniently located near Seaside, shopping, and dining, WaterColor offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and upscale resort living on the Florida Gulf Coast.
    WaterColor continues to be one of the most desirable communities on 30A, offering a vacation experience guests return to year after year.
    Guests age five and older are required to wear wristbands when using community amenities.
    It is the kind of home that feels effortless from the start and hard to leave. The kind of place you will find yourself returning to year after year.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time in Watercolor. The house is incredible! very clean and spacious! The ice maker was such a nice touch for loading coolers and such for the beach! The only suggestion I would make is to change the door lock to a keypad. Keeping up with the key and having people go back to the house at different times made it difficult! Outside of that, it was PERFECT!!!!

Overall the house was good... great location! The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed the front porch. Broken dishwasher rack, golf cart & bikes (tired) and an exterminator would help the property. The house is on the market to sale.

The location was great, nice quiet area and spacious home. Owners definitely need to invest in upgrading many things throughout the home, particularly the golf cart (windshield was hanging off when we arrived so we didnt have one the entire time), tv's, dishwasher (bottom rack wouldn't pull out), cooking wear, we had to purchase 20 hangers to hang our clothes (left them there for others to use).

Beautiful home close to the grocery store

Home is close to the grocery store & Camp Watercolor. Loved having access to the golf cart for use since the beach is a good ways away. There is no door on the bunkbed room just FYI. Home was furnished with just about everything we needed. Had an issue with one tv not working, rental company came out & replaced it. No issues. Loved our time there!

It is in a newer part of watercolor so not close to the beach but the owners provide a golf cart and bikes, which make getting to the beach, to seaside, and getting around in general very convenient. We had a little trouble with the golf cart and the property management company responded immediately, within minutes, to take care of the issue. We were very happy here and would stay again.

The golf cart was very helpful for getting to the beach. It is a short golf cart ride to the beach from the house (not walkable), and the only thing that would be more helpful is clearer instructions on where and how to access the private watercolor beach and where to park. Management was very responsive via text.

Pretty house in crossings with golf cart

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've been coming to watercolor for 15 years and have stayed in several different parts- the crossings works well with older kids (teens) as they can easily bike the long distance and like to zip over to seaside. The golf cart helped with the adults since it is a bit of a hike to the watercolor beach. Like many WC houses, the finish out of this one was nice- furniture was clean and overall we were happy with the house. I do wish we had known how close the three upstairs bedrooms were to each other- we were two families and only one master is down - the other is literally inches from the bunk room and twin beds room- so kind of an unfair set up- we flipped a coin. The only coffee maker was a kurig machine which was strange for a big house with likely many adults - we went and bought a coffee maker to take back with us. And bring your own throw blankets- the house had none.
