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.

All The Things!!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had an incredible stay at this WaterColor home! The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything our family needed for a relaxing vacation. The location was perfect—just a short walk or bike ride to the pools, beach, and all the WaterColor amenities. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked, the beds were very comfortable, and the outdoor porches were wonderful for morning coffee and evening relaxation. Communication with the owner was outstanding from booking through checkout, with clear instructions and quick responses to any questions. Everything worked exactly as expected, and the home was even better than the photos. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a first-class WaterColor vacation.

Amenities and space a great combo
We stayed here with our family and couldn't have picked a better place. The house excellent and was exactly as advertised. Everything was clean when we arrived.
The location made getting around easy. We rode bikes most days, walked to the pools, and getting to the beach was simple with the tram. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and a few dinners, and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out after a day outside.
What stood out to me most was how organized everything was. Check-in was straightforward, instructions were clear, and any questions we had were answered quickly. It's refreshing to rent a place where everything just works the way it's supposed to.
I'd stay here again without hesitation and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-kept home in WaterColor with all of the amenities.

We will come back!!
We’ve stayed at several properties managed by this company over the years, and this home was another fantastic experience. The property was exactly as described — clean, well maintained, beautifully furnished, and thoughtfully stocked for guests. The layout worked perfectly for our group, with plenty of room to relax both indoors and outside.
The location was excellent and made it easy to enjoy the area, while still feeling peaceful and private. Communication from the management team was prompt and professional from booking through checkout, and everything about the stay felt smooth and organized.
One thing we consistently appreciate about this company is the attention to detail across all of their homes. Each property has its own personality, but they all share the same high standards, comfort, and guest-focused touches. We would absolutely stay here again in the future.

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).

Property was very clean, well appointed and perfect for our girls trip. Our only disappointment was that the internet and televisions were not in working order and although attentive to our requests, they were unable to fully be restored to working order before our trip was over.

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!

This house is absolutely beautiful and laid out well for multiple families to share. 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.
