"Watercolor Inn - A lovely beach and family getaway"

10.0

Beautiful spot to get some family beach time in Florida. We loved our stay at Watercolor Inn. Our son loved Camp Watercolor with the lazy river and basketball court. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming especially the entrance/front desk and Camp Watercolor Cantina. Thank you for a fun and relaxing visit.

"Terrible Service"

2.0

A horrible experience - avoid property at all costs. I had to wait for almost four hours for my room to be ready while at least ten other parties got their rooms right away.

"Water Color First Time Experience"

10.0

This is a great property with much to offer. The beach views are incredible, the hotel is clean, and the staff is very friendly. Lots of options for food and shopping close by so you never need to leave the general area. We had a great time and can't wait to go back.

"Good"

6.0

Ended up here due to a vrbo mishap in booking. Stayed on the fourth floor and was beside a family with a screaming baby for two days. The walls were paper thin and you could hear every person who traveled past the front door. Also, our unit was above the Inn’s pool, which had screaming children starting early in the morning. The location was extremely convenient to where we were originally supposed to stay, so that was a plus. In addition, they did have fresh baked treats waiting in our room once I was able to check in at 4:20 – 4:30 PM. other than the location, there is nothing that would make me stay here again for the price.

"Amazing Resort - We had the best time at WaterColor"

10.0

We had the best time. A friend referred us to this resort. It really was amazing. A great room over looking the ocean! Very roomy - we loved the fresh baked cookies which were amazing every evening. The added amenities such as the Treat Suite and the bikes were the icing on the cake. All the staff were super friendly. I will be coming back and referring others to this resort.

"Great Stay"

10.0

My family of 4 (husband, myself, 3.5 yr old, and 3 month old) wanted to take a trip before maternity leave ended, so chose WaterColor. We'd never been before (though had stayed at Rosemary the past 3 yrs), and had an incredible experience. Our room (the most basic, 2 queens on the 2nd floor) was phenomenal with a great view of the pool and ocean, way better than pictured online. We loved everything about the room and the balcony and house keeping did an incredible job keeping it clean. We found all of the amenities (treat suite with amazing coffee maker in addition to waters, ice cream, etc; beach bag to use; cookies delivered to room; snacks in room upon arrival, etc.) so refreshing. It's so rare to stay at a nice hotel with so many amenities nowadays (usually snacks are displayed with a price tag, which to me is more annoying than anything). The staff were all terrific and tried to accommodate any request we made. We drove down in our electric vehicle and had some difficulties charging it when we arrived after a very long 8hr car ride with two young children... staff helped us charge in a Seaside spot which saved our trip and avoided an expensive tow. Our 2nd floor room was perfectly located - we loved being close to the treat suite and so close to the Fish out of Water restaurant, which we ate at 2x (once while leaving the kids in bed asleep with our baby monitors on). We were a little needy this trip with the two little ones, and the hotel was so nice and accommodating, we really appreciated them and will definitely return when the kids are a little older. The ONLY bummer was that we left a Hatch (white noise machine and night light for kids) in our room and it wasn't ever located. We similarly left a puzzle at the Fish out of Water restaurant and when we returned the next morning, it hadn't been located. Not a huge deal (our fault we left them), but would've been nice to have them located and returned, especially the expensive Hatch. Other tips for families traveling with young children: Camp WaterColor is a short 4 minute drive away and we were able to find parking (I believe it was $25 for the day). We had planned on taking the advertised trolley, but you need a carseat for kids <5 yrs old. It would've been a 20-30 minute walk. Beach Club with 3 pools (2 of the 3 are kid friendly) was close and wonderful and kid friendly (especially the lowest pool), as was the pool at the Inn. 3.5 yr old loved Camp Watercolor as well and we could do the large slide together which was fun. Thank you for making our trip as fun as possible!

"Worth every penny!"

Staying here was a definite splurge for me, but I left feeling it was money well spent. Gorgeous rooms, great amenities and a beautiful beach. Just wish the food options were a bit better.
