About WaterColor

Does WaterColor live up to its name? The beach. The Boathouse. The paddleboarders and boutique shoppers. After a minute-long stroll among these enchanting avenues, you start to see what’s happening here. WaterColor’s magic is real.

Designed with nature in mind, this master-planned community has a single mission. A focus on environmental stewardship ensures the luxurious homes, cute shops, and 4-star restaurants, seamlessly woven into the natural landscape, keep as dreamy as possible. Simply, a fascinating neighborhood your family will be thrilled to call home for a few days.

Paint your next vacation masterpiece in WaterColor.

30A’S SWEET SPOT.

WaterColor. You can’t miss it. Grayton Beach is within bike-riding distance to the west, while sharing its cozy neighborhood with Seaside to the east. Its central location lets you enjoy the beach, and the largest coastal dune lake around, all in one charming neighborhood.

FROM VISION TO VACATION.

In 1999, WaterColor became a part of the revolutionary New Urbanism movement. The master-planned beach community was designed with an emphasis on walking, and biking. The new and exciting pedestrian-friendly neighborhood blossomed and has grown into one of the most desirable vacation destinations along 30A, and beyond. Its charm and allure? Totally deserved!

WILD, WHIMSICAL, WONDERFUL.

There’s definitely something in the air here. And it feels incredible. WaterColor is all about living that luxe lifestyle while keeping it chill. With 9 stunning pools, The Beach Club, and perfectly designed community spaces, it’s an upscale retreat where flip-flops rule the day. Who can ignore the gorgeous homes, manicured parks, and first-class amenities? All wrapped in a breezy coastal vibe that just feels right.

STEP INTO A STORYBOOK.

WaterColor knows a thing or two about nature. Winding paths connect meticulously kept grounds, where scrub oaks and palmettos line the sidewalks. Wild and whimsical, and everything in between, the lush parks, trails, and green spaces are like something from a storybook. Paddleboard or kayak on Western Lake, cycle through the community’s lush nature trails, or enjoy a game of tennis before cooling off in one of the many pools. As for the sunsets? Well, you’ll just have to see those for yourself.
