KEY Curation Notes

The location is unbeatable. Positioned directly across from Camp WaterColor with walking access to Seaside's shops and restaurants, plus a short walk or golf-cart ride to the beach. You won't need a car for daily life here.
A golf cart and bikes come included. The 6-passenger cart and 4 adult bikes make exploring the community effortless, and the community's grid of paths and flat terrain is perfect for cycling.
The kitchen is chef-quality. White marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large island (seating for 6) anchor the home's open-plan living area, making meal prep and group dining genuinely easy.
The screened porch is a standout feature. Covered outdoor living space overlooks the property and neighborhood—ideal for morning coffee or afternoon decompression while the kids play nearby.
Every guest gets access to 4 community pools plus the expanded Beach Club. The newly renovated WaterColor Beach Club features a main pool, zero-entry pool, additional deck seating, and Gulf-view dining venues.
Primary suite and sleeping flexibility work well for larger groups. The first-floor king with ensuite bath (separate shower and tub) provides privacy for adults, while three upstairs bedrooms offer a mix of configurations—king/twins/bunks—with most having dedicated baths.

Sea Turtle Facts

South Walton’s sugar-white sand beaches are a big draw for visitors, but they’re also home to some of the area’s tiniest residents. During the months of May through October, endangered sea turtles build nests in that sand, and need the help and consideration of human beachgoers in order to thrive and survive.

Sea turtles are protected by the Endangered Species Act.

Loggerhead and Green Sea Turtles typically nest on our beaches.

Nesting season is May 1–Oct. 31.

Hatchlings are guided to the Gulf by the moon. White lights confuse them.

The temperature of the sand determines the sex of the hatchlings.

Sea turtles return to the beach where they were born to lay their eggs.

Mama sea turtles lay about 100 eggs in a nest and tend to lay 3–5 nests.

In 2021, 624 hatchlings made it to the Gulf in Walton County.

Call *FWC or 850-865-4503 if you see a sea turtle.
