KEY Curation Notes

Two primary bedrooms with private bathrooms anchor this property. This configuration works well for two couples or co-traveling families who want dedicated retreat space.
Two full kitchens mean groups can split meal prep without competing. Dining options across the home seat 8, 2, and casual island eating—the layout supports flexible gathering.
Access to WaterColor Beach Club is immediate; the Lake District location keeps you near trails and Cerulean Park. A 6-seater golf cart and 5 adult bikes handle transportation around the community. The beach and Seaside are a short ride away (not walking distance).
Three floors with separate living zones prevent that "everyone in one room" feeling —useful for remote workers or a private retreat space.
Outdoor entertainment centers on a wood-burning tabby fireplace with seating on the raised deck. This property is designed for extended family gatherings where privacy, separation, and self-contained meal spaces matter.

Tracy

The home was lovely. Perfect for our family. The two dishwashers in the kitchen was a surprise. Very quite area, but a short bike ride to beach.

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.
