NOTE: When booking, please provide the correct number of adults and children that will be staying in the home. WaterColor requires a wristband for all guests 5 years and older, to allow access to the amenities (pool and beach) so you must provide the correct number of guests to ensure everyone will have access to the community amenities. We are not able to provide additional wristbands after your arrival, so it is imperative you inform us at least two weeks before your arrival if there is a change after the time of booking. The HOA will not allow more than 12 guests in this home at any time, and they will not issue more than 12 bands per stay. No exceptions can be made.

Golf Carts
NOTE: Golf cart rentals in WaterColor must be made through The Electric Cart Company and will be limited to a certain number of vehicles (approximately 45 per week) throughout the community at any given time. Only one cart may be rented per home and rentals will be granted on a first-come, first served basis. Please contact Electric Cart Company directly for availability and pricing.

Property owner provides a golf cart for guest use as an added amenity when renting their property; however, this is not an amenity 30A Cottages can guarantee. Credits, refunds, discounts or vehicle replacements will not be offered if the provided golf cart is inoperable for any reason. Golf cart repairs can be timely and are completely out of our control.

Pool Heating: Pool and spa heating is offered at an additional cost from October through April. To ensure safe and effective operation, pool heating is only available when weather conditions permit. Heating is not available when outdoor temperatures are consistently below 50°F or above 80°F.

Watercolor Retreat has designated parking for up to 4 guest vehicles in the driveway and the golf cart is parked in the mini-garage. Vehicles are not allowed in the garage. The golf cart must be stored in the garage when not in use. Rented LSV's (golf carts) must be parked in one of the designated, on-property parking spaces.

WaterColor will only issue one parking pass per property.  Any additional vehicles parked in the community without a parking pass displayed could be fined and or towed.  WaterColor also has public on-street parking throughout the community for overflow vehicles; parking is on a first come, first served basis and passes must be displayed at all times.

Nice Family Home

Reviewed on 08-04-2025 by

We enjoyed our week at the Watercolor Retreat. This is the second home that we rented on East Royal Fern Dr. and the consensus of our group was that we liked this home the best. The kitchen had an easy flow and was well appointed (except....does not have cereal/soup/salad bowls..a family must...we bought some paper bowls) . We appreciated that we could leave unopened canned goods, pasta, laundry soap when we left. Bedrooms were comfortable and well appointed, the communal living spaces were roomy and easily accommodated our 12 person group. We had 6 kids aged 6-13 and they loved swimming at the community pools during the day and returning home to have a nighttime swim at our home pool. There were no pool towels provided and that was a definite drawback. Some of our party flew and did not want to waste suitcase space on towels. Our group bought/brought beach towels, but it sure would have been nice to have them available. The washer was very busy keeping up with the towel demand. All in all, it was a wonderful week. The kids love our annual trip to the Watercolor and we will continue to come in the future.

Watercolor Retreat was wonderful. This was our 18th family vacation to the beach and this home went above and beyond having everything you would need (even smores goodies.) The home is tastefully decorated and clean. It was wonderful to have the pool and the golf cart that we used daily. We really liked the location of this home. It was a very quiet area. The grandkids are already asking about returning next year. It was a great week, enjoyed by all of us.

It has it all!

Watercolor Retreat is truly a home away from home. When we arrived, we had snacks waiting and all the supplies for s'mores as a late-night treat. Imagine the delight of finding a well-stocked kitchen, complete with salt, sugar, coffee K-cups, and a drawer full of spices, making cooking simple and tasty. The food processor, toaster, and all other necessary supplies were available. The pool became a favorite of our adult children, who now want to relax and unwind without the crowds. In the garage were floats, noodles, beach chairs, and boogie boards. Truly, it was well stocked! The property was clean and tastefully decorated. The outdoor area was well thought out. The fire pit, pool, and covered porch were all unique. Since we had a few days of rain, being able to sit in the screened porch to experience being "outside" was nice. The upper covered deck off the master was exceptional for Mom and Dad. The master also housed an executive office with monitors and a printer. The golf cart was also a blessing. It provided a good way to experience Watercolor because many of the public areas don't accommodate vehicles, but only golf carts (The Beach Club). Truly, we have been vacationing on 30A for 25 years. My adult kids said this house was their favorite! I agree :)

Great Stay!

This house was as well-equipped as any rental we've stayed at. The kitchen is stocked with anything and everything you could need; lovely, high-end things that were a joy to use. The furniture and linens are of the quality of a daily home, not a vacation rental. We sincerely appreciated the pool, the outdoor spaces, and the layout of the house. It was an added bonus to find beach equipment, a garage drink fridge, and games. We traveled with a group of 8 and all had more than enough room. 30A Cottages was responsive and helpful as well.
