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. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna Sep 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Best hotel ever❤️staff was very friendly,the room was always cleaned..we love it!Will be back for sure ##### Anna Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie Lyn Jul 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property with great service and amenities! ##### Carrie Lyn Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brittany julia Mar 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The nicest place and beach we have been to in awhile ##### Brittany julia Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Apr 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful, laid back area with all the amenities and easy access to shopping and dining options! ##### Sarah Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryan Nov 10, 2023 Fantastic service, good location and great views ##### Bryan Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bill May 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Incredible hotel stay! I don't believe we have ever had a better stay at any hotel. The newly remodeled Watercolor Inn is beautiful - everything is brand new, including the attached restaurant, Fish Out Of Water. All personnel were friendly and helpful. Room service personnel brought freshly-baked cookies every evening. Pool is wonderful. Location is very good, being a short walk to Seaside. We will never stay anywhere else on 30A. ##### Bill Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zac Sep 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Randy and team were so helpful and friendly! ##### Zac Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy Nov 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was very friendly . Hotel lobby is a bit dated but the rooms are clean and have wood floors and a large bathroom. The view from the room was a gorgeous ocean view from a balcony with 2 high adorondeck chairs. Very quiet. ##### Wendy Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Jan 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Winter getaway on the Emerald Coast Great location, simply wonderful staff.

Very comfortable bedding but the moment we walked in, we were wowed. Only booked a standard room so didn’t expect the amenities, roominess, convenient hooks around the room which were incorporated into the lovely decor. Welcome basket of treats and a Treat Suite on each floor were a nice touch. Everything was conveniently located and a great spot to walk to Seaside to explore. Just loved the Watercolor Inn. ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Grant Aug 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best Stay for a Family on 30A They literally thought of everything! We took a 4 night family vacation (with two kids under 10 years old) and it was truly one of the best hotel stays our family has ever had. With super easy beach access on site, multiple pools, and multiple on site restaurants, everything we needed was just steps away and so convenient. Food was great, service by the staff was impeccable, and the rooms were beautiful! Each floor even had a “Treat Suite” with free snacks that our kids enjoyed each day. We definitely plan to return! ##### Grant Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tamara Jun 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities This is my 5th time to Watercolor Inn (started coming in 2017). Love the convenience w the pools (love the new hotel pool). Feel like the restaurants aren't as good as they could be especially compared to restaurants in Rosemary. I do not like the new interior of the rooms, the headboard design is terrible and the worst is the dressers w the non-functional bottom drawer. What is the point of having that? They also took took out starfish decor in the showers, which were really cool. Also took out the sound machines which was a bonus. The maid service forgot to do turn down service one night during our stay. The Inn is still beautiful but there are a few things they could update/change a bit. The staff at front desk and outside are always super friendly and helpful. Hope to be back next year! ##### Tamara Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debra Feb 16, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities What an incredible hotel stay. From the minute we checked in to our departure the staff was welcoming, helpful & extremely professional. You can tell they love their jobs. The room was immaculate with a beautiful view from the balcony of the blue green water of the gulf. (4th floor) I highly recommend this hotel that had 3 heated pools. ![Foyer of the lobby ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/13d2c726-ad70-4db2-997a-eec9a8fc7c83-1771277997781.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Restaurant/ bar looked out to the pool closet to the hotel ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6914699d-1ceb-44aa-b0c9-0877a7ea4096-1771277998325.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Heated pool 2 of 3 ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c2ce77d6-0b2c-4969-9384-cf545169afce-1771278000741.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Heated pool 1 of 3](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5bf65cbf-feb3-4e8c-8c71-bb71a073be40-1771278001985.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Debra Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James W Feb 10, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful, spotless facility with wonderful staff. ##### James W Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike Mar 8, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic visit in early March before the crowds.
