WaterColor Inn & Resort

WaterColor Inn & Resort is located in the most beautiful region of the Florida Panhandle, where the award-winning beaches are so white and fine that they remind you of cake icing. The resort, which was renovated in 2019, also serves local seafood, Southern, and family-friendly cooking at FOOW (previously known as Fish Out Of Water) and a fantastic selection of craft beers, wines, and cocktails. The spa and fitness center provides plenty of distraction, as do beach bonfires and outdoor movies.

David Rockwell designed the 60 rooms starting at 500-square-feet with Adirondack chairs on the balconies and cabana showers on the patios. The 500-acre property has hiking and biking trails through long leaf pine forests, a coastal dune lake for kayaking and canoeing, and a 1,400-square-foot private beach. The hotel is also just close to Grayton Beach State Park, where you may take use of the hotel's complimentary bicycles, kayaks, and canoes.
