KEY Curation Notes

WaterColor Lake District location puts the Frog Pool a short walk away and the Beach Club and Camp WaterColor reachable on foot or by bike. Beach Club access is included via HOA wristbands; Seaside Beach is within a 10-minute walk.
Wristband cap is 12, with no exceptions. Everyone age 5 and older requires a wristband. The cap matches the property's maximum occupancy, leaving no buffer for day visitors seeking community pool or Beach Club access.
Four bikes are included. Golf carts are not provided; WaterColor HOA requires all rentals go through the Electric Cart Company exclusively — no outside companies are permitted, and availability can be limited in peak season.
Bedroom layout spans the main house and a carriage house above the garage. The main house has a king master on the ground floor plus a queen room and a king room on the second floor with an alcove sleeping two more. The carriage house holds two queens and a sofa bed — well-suited for a group that wants separation from the main house. An elevator connects the garage to the carriage house level.
Parking is limited to four vehicles on-site. Additional vehicles require a community parking pass, and the listing advises bringing as few cars as possible.

Reviews

Kaila

This house was wonderful. Exactly as advertised, with quick access to downtown, Camp Watercolor or the Watercolor Beach Access. Property manager communicated perfectly, we never had any unanswered questions and they were quick to be available. We hope to stay here again.
