The picture-perfect WaterColor has the comfortable feel of a classic coastal vacation spot. The inn's main building looks like an overgrown beach house, with long, worn wooden porches on each of its three stories and a set of stairs tumbling over the white sandy bluffs of the beach below.

Rooms have a cottage-like charm, with fun candy-colored stripes, white and blue accents, and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors to frame the outdoor tableau. For a special treat, consider booking one

The picture-perfect WaterColor has the comfortable feel of a classic coastal vacation spot. The inn's main building looks like an overgrown beach house, with long, worn wooden porches on each of its three stories and a set of stairs tumbling over the white sandy bluffs of the beach below.

Rooms have a cottage-like charm, with fun candy-colored stripes, white and blue accents, and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors to frame the outdoor tableau. For a special treat, consider booking one of the sunny rotunda rooms, which mesmerize with practically unobstructed views of the surf, sand, and sunsets.

The inn straddles northwest Florida's gorgeous Gulf Coast, buffered from behind by acres of coastal pine forest. Part of a larger resort community, the inn is surrounded by tidy neighborhoods of properties available for purchase and rental. Close to half of the WaterColor's property is open or preserved space, so there's plenty of room for everyone to relax and recreate, although recreation seems more the order of the day. From golf and swimming to tennis and fishing, guests enjoy excellent amenities.

The resort is casual and fun, perfect for a romantic getaway or a family vacation… or both. Camp WaterColor Kids offers arts, crafts, nature, science, and sporting activities to keep little ones busy so parents can make some memories of their own.
