WaterColor Inn & Resort

Beautiful property with great service and amenities!

Great time. Biggest and really only criticism is that the beach is overcome with tight umbrella and beach chair setups. Feels like a money grab. Only front row can see the ocean easily and no other options. For the cost of staying at the inn, it should include a couple chairs and umbrella at the beach as it's a beach resort. Ive been to many beach resorts at a lesser cost and this was the first time i experienced this. We came FOR this beach and spent no time on it. Too inconvenient and detracted from the beauty of it that was advertised.

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.

Staying at the Inn is great because you have your own pool just for Inn guests--all other pools are INSANELY and obnoxiously crowded. So if you are staying on property at a house, not at the Inn, good luck with enjoying the pool. Staying at the Inn, however, was very low key and enjoyable.

This was possibly the most welcoming and well appointed room we have experienced in all of our travels. 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.

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!

Private beach access! Treat sweet we’re great too!

In a day and age where post COVId hotel stays have been sub par, understaffed, and lacking amenities offered pre-Covid, it was very refreshing to stay at Watercolor Inn where this was not the case. Watercolor Inn was fully staffed, with joyful, helpful, knowledgeable staff. From the moment we pulled into the property we encountered the most pleasant and helpful staff. All facilities were up and running. The extra treats in the room upon check in, the nightly cookies, the “treat suite,” the availability of bikes, the heated pools staffed with lifeguards keeling a watchful eye. We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay and look forward returning very soon. We were there celebrating my daughters birthday and our experience was fantastic! Highly recommend.

Absolutely loved Seaside and The Watercolor Inn. First time traveling to Seaside area and decided to stay at the Watercolor and glad we did. Very nice hotel and right on the beach. The sand was amazing and ocean clear. We were welcomed by Chris in Valet. Great guy. And then Jeffrey the Manager. Everyone was exceptionally nice. Not busy fortunately too being the week before Christmas. The rooms were restfully appointed and very comfy with an amazing unobstructed view of the ocean and beach, perfect for the sunset every night. Had breakfast once and a dinner at the Fish out of water restaurant which was very nice. Very low key and just perfect for our first dinner. Nice locally caught fish. The pools were large and many of them. We had use of the member pool too. All of them were heated and actually quite warm. We got lucky with the weather too as it was around 70 every day. Great way to spend the days before Christmas. Would we go back? 1000% YES! We’re actually going to book something for late Sept. Also glad we stayed here because the area was super nice and Seaside was awesome. Literally a 5 min walk up the street. Super cool houses and the filming location for the ‘98 movie, The Truman Show.

Beautiful, laid back area with all the amenities and easy access to shopping and dining options!

Best hotel ever❤️staff was very friendly,the room was always cleaned..we love it!Will be back for sure

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!

Our room (#318) smelled like mildew from the minute we walked in the oceanfront room until the day we checked out. Staff claims that no other room was available for us to stay in.

Great facility! Lots to do, clean, friendly…….

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.

Check in was horrible because we arrived late...12AM midnight nothing open, no help, no food, no drinks, no suggestions, an unfriendly desk clerk, and an awkward creepy feeling of coldness engulfed the air. We were given unkind looks by all the employees doing absolutely nothing but staring at us fumble our way to find our room...They couldn't take the time out of their napping and reading to even try to be slightly welcoming to their guests that had just driven 14 hours to stay at the Hotel. Unfriendliness was the vibe. I was even told a negative remark and given an eye role insinuating that not booking directly with the hotel was frowned upon. It felt like we weren't as significant as their typical guests which seemed condescending and rude. I had requested a king and got 2 queens. The beds were extremely hard. The 3rd floor ocean view was a joke and barely a view of anything but maintenance storage units below albeit I had paid extra for ocean view. We left next morning in the pouring rain. Not one of the young bell boys standing around talking and laughing offered to help my elderly husband fetch a cart in the rain or to lend a hand with the luggage. Needless to say we got drenched. The girls in the gift shop were haughty and unhelpful as well. Being a beach lover the Water Color Inn had been on my bucket list for many many years. After reading so many wonderful reviews I was so excited to finally be there. I left totally disenchanted. It was a total waste of money.

Great location, simply wonderful staff. Weather a bit cool, noisy construction nearby, however the exceptional staff more than made up for at every possible opportunity. They have our sincere appreciation.

The location is the best. Staff were always friendly and very helpful. Amenities were top notch. The view was breathtaking. It turned out to be a healing place to unwind from the stressors if life.

The restaurant had untrained staff, they were nice but had no idea how to serve.

all the staff were kind and helpful

Dining options were lacking. Understaffed. This hotel is expensive and should be well staffed on all fronts for the price.

The Inn was a part of a larger community experience that included a state park on one side and eclectic communities which were very walkable and bike able. I would definitely recommend this property.

Very friendly and helpful staff, great location.

Watercolor in is a very charming boutique hotel located in Water Color along 30A, half mile walk to Seaside center where there are a big square with restaurants and shops. We had a room on 2nd story, can walk through the hotel restaurant and use the deck for direct beach access. Hotel front desk Orco (from Turkey) and Yuka (Japan) are absolutely helpful and kind.

Great property, great location, lots of shops and restaurants in the area and the beaches are amazing.

Beautiful setting, near seaside. Walked to restaurants, limited eating options.
