Why an “Inn” Experience Is the Best Way to Experience WaterColor

Step into the WaterColor community, and you’ll instantly feel the magic that settles over you. With its distinct pastel aesthetic, laidback coastal lifestyle and lush natural beauty, there’s simply no other place like this sliver of paradise, nestled alongside Northwest Florida’s Gulf beaches and one of the area’s rare dune lakes.

Synonymous with this iconic South Walton beach community is WaterColor Inn, which has remained a beloved multigenerational beach tradition for nearly two decades. The 67-room hotel encapsulates the comforts and convenience required of a family vacation with the refined elegance a 30A vacation deserves.

While a beach house has its charms, nothing can compare with the intimacy of a boutique hotel experience. Part of St. Joe’s award-winning collection of resort offerings, WaterColor Inn remains the region’s gold standard in coastal hospitality.  Here’s why.

Less To-Dos, More Luxury

A vacation rental often comes with a to-do list: groceries, linens, beach gear and the logistical puzzle of what to do when you get there. At WaterColor Inn, guests have only one item on their agenda: relaxation. A dedicated concierge stands ready to handle your dinner reservations at Fish Out of Water and beyond; thoughtfully curated snacks await in your Treat Suite; and turndown service, complete with a cookie delivery, ensures you feel cared for from morning ‘til night.

A Front-Row Seat to the Gulf

There’s no being tucked away in the pines or renting a golf cart to trek through the sand here. Situated just steps from the Gulf’s sugar-white sands and with its own private beach, WaterColor Inn brings the beach life directly to you, including beach setups, beach bonfires and watersport rentals. Not to mention, most of the hotel’s David Rockwell-designed accommodations offer stunning beach views from their private patio or balcony, complete with a pair of Adirondack chairs for optimal enjoyment.

Exclusive Resort Experiences

A stay at WaterColor Inn means more than a place to rest your head. Guests have access to a variety of resort experiences, including 10 pools (the most beach access on 30A), the family-friendly Camp WaterColor, and the private WaterColor Beach Club, as well as a selection of on-site dining options, which include the hotel’s award-winning Fish Out of Water restaurant. The hotel strikes the perfect balance between the exclusive amenities of a world-class resort and the intimate, laidback approach of a private sanctuary.

Recreation at Your Fingertips

Whether you want to spend your day lounging in the sun or exploring 30A’s best attractions, you’ll find plenty of things to see, do and taste at WaterColor Inn, and all within reach. Bike or hike through stunning nature trails; kayak or paddleboard on a rare coastal dune lake; book a fishing charter; play a round or two of tennis; or take an energizing break in the hotel’s Cardio Room. In the search for the perfect souvenir? Head to The Package Store, The WaterColor Store, WaterColor Kids or any of the other carefully curated shops within the WaterColor Town Center. A stay at WaterColor Inn means your itinerary can be as buzzing or as tranquil as you’d like it to be.

Award-Winning Standards

For nearly two decades, WaterColor Inn has consistently maintained its AAA Four Diamond rating, a testament to a level of service that a rental simply cannot replicate. Not to mention, as part of St. Joe’s distinguished collection of hospitality experiences, WaterColor Inn epitomizes the ultimate 30A experience, rooted in comfort, convenience, coastal elegance and consistent hospitality.
