WaterColor Inn & Resort, one of Northwest Florida’s only AAA Four Diamond and Forbes Four Star beachfront hotels, is nestled on nearly 500 acres of sugar-white sand beach. Surrounded by 1,400 linear feet of beachfront and pine forests alongside Western Lake, the state’s second-largest naturally occurring coastal dune lake, WaterColor Inn & Resort offers deluxe accommodations designed by David Rockwell at the newly renovated 60-room Inn, where every guestroom has a view of the Gulf of Mexico and a pair of Adirondack chairs on the patio (and on the first floor, a private outdoor cabana shower). Perfectly encapsulating the spirit of an intimate beach getaway, while still providing the functionality necessary for a family vacation, the freshly redecorated beachfront rooms bring the outdoors mere footsteps from the sand. From the soft linens to the spa-inspired toiletries, every well-appointed room has been furnished for the full comfort of the guest.
