5 King Suites, Private Pool, 6 Seat Cart, Best Kitchen on 30-A, Rave Reviews!

This exquisite 6-bedroom custom home with private pool was 3 years in the making. Elegance and ease were the goals of the project – designed for families who love to entertain and enjoy all that Watercolor has to offer. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, this home, known as “High Cotton,” has an amazing lot that backs up to a nature preserve which allows you to enjoy complete privacy on the large porches and at the pool. For your convenience we also provide a 6 seater golf cart and 6 adult bikes.

Bevolo gas lanterns and gracious front porches greet you on arrival, with parking and carport that can accommodate up to 7 vehicles.

Once inside, you encounter 12-foot ceilings in the foyer and kitchen, which then soar to 22 feet in the beautiful den that overlooks the pool and nature preserve.

In the kitchen, Juliska glass lanterns float over the extensive quartzite kitchen counters, and the numerous drawers and cabinets offer guests more items and utensils than any chef could ever need. As enthusiastic foodies themselves, the owners have made every effort to anticipate the needs of their guests in having the kitchen equipped with high-end extras such as: 3 coffee makers including a Keurig, 2 blenders, Instant pot, Crock pot , Juicer, Cuisinart food processor, air fryer, sous vide , wine aerator, a 48 bottle capacity wine cooler, a Wolf cook top and double oven with warming drawer, a Subzero refrigerator/freezer, two ice makers, two dishwashers and a walk in pantry.

Each bathroom is unique and has a combination of beautiful marble and designer tiles & full-length mirrors.

The upstairs porch is a perfect place to relax with two queen bed swings and a 55 inch TV. There is also a comfortable seating area with rocking chairs providing a cozy place to watch the activity in the pool area.

The backyard is one of the jewels of the home, with two spacious porches overlooking the private pool and nature preserve.

It includes a fireplace, sitting area with recliners and sofas, and a 65-inch TV and a covered dining area.

Excellent family vacation!
We had a wonderful time on our spring break vacation in this lovely home! We had teenagers, adults and children ages 9 to 6 and everyone had room to spread out, sleep well and plenty of time and space to relax! We all loved the pool! The home has all of the amenities anyone could want or need and the golf cart was so convenient it added another layer of perfection to our trip! Also the cleanliness of the home, It was absolutely impeccable! We will definitely be back! We have stayed in Watercolor many times but this is by far our favorite spot! Thank you!

The perfect family holiday
We come to Watercolor every Christmas, and have stayed in several homes around the Watercolor community. We now have a favorite, and could not have imagined a better place to spend our holiday. Debbie was the most wonderful person to work with. She made things seamless and communicated so well throughout the months leading gu to our stay. The home was impeccable and stunning-everything was perfect. The kitchen had so many things for me to cook Christmas dinner with. Our family loved watching football and holiday movies in the den. They truly had thought of everything. The beds are lovely to sleep on, laundry is there for you to use, and all furniture is cozy and comfortable. Our children (9 and 12) had their own area on the top floor to play and watch TV and just be kids. There is plenty of space to spread out and not feel cramped. The street is quiet and backyard is so peaceful. We hope to come back to High Cotton for all of our trips in the future.

Just as breathtaking in person!
I've made many trips to 30a over the last few years. While listings often display beautifully curated photos, the trend I've experienced is that the photos don't typically reflect the current state of the property. Not this one. "High Cotton" was just as breathtaking in person as in photos. Not only was it immaculately clean and beautifully decorated, it was tucked away in a quiet corner of Watercolor yet conveniently located. Every detail was considered. Fully stocked with every imaginable tool or appliance, the kitchen was ready for the chef to whip up delectable dinners or for the foodie to store their dinner leftovers and everyone in between. The bathrooms were aptly stocked and the beds were more than comfortable. With our large family gathering, there was still plenty of space for everyone to spread out and nobody to feel claustrophobic. If you live the laptop lifestyle, there's a perfect study where you can get some work done before heading off to the beach. Watercolor is a fantastic neighborhood for exploring on bike and was a highlight for everyone. When I needed to contact the owner, she was quick to communicate, making check-in easy. Considering the desirable location, size of the home, and attentiveness to every detail, "High Cotton" is undeniably our favorite rental we've had in the area and one we would definitely rent again.

A True Gem
My family of 14 (ages 1 to 70) had an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING time at High Cotton, which is a VERY special place. Our gracious host made sure that checking in and out was easy and expeditious. The house exceeded all expectations. Each room was beautifully decorated and spacious. We loved the high ceilings and beautiful artwork. But the best thing were the common areas, including the indoor and outdoor porches which allowed us to spent time together as well as relax alone. The kids bunk bed area on the second floor was the perfect place for a cousin sleep-over. The beautifully designed and well equipped kitchen inspired several (mostly male!) family members to cook gourmet meals and the pool was an absolute lifesaver providing endless entertainment for the little kids (the pool alarm made this very safe). One of us had to work and the library was the perfect place to do this undisturbed. Everybody loved the close proximity to the various pools and beaches, and the restaurants were only a bike ride away! All my children and their spouses agreed that this was the PERFECT vacation for a family like ours, which is generally hard to please! We will definitively be back!

Another incredible watercolor vacation
This is somewhere around our 14th stay in Watercolor/Seaside and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. My communication with Debbie was VERY quick and thoughtful. When we arrived, the home was gorgeous, and clean, living spaces with fresh flowers and greenery, a complimentary bottle of wine awaiting us, and all the instructions to ease our stay needed. The house was perfectly laid out for our adult family and my 80-year-old father. We had one working remotely, so the office/library was perfect. The kitchen was a dream and one of the best we have ever rented…perfect for our big family meals and Thanksgiving dinner. I’ve maker, double dishwasher, all the plates and cups you could need. Porches were so fun, and even had a couple stay on the sleeping porch. The pool was also a wonderful addition. Having stayed in Watercolor so many times, and even on this street, this is my favorite street…very quiet, easy to access Publix, Seaside and Watercolor amenities. Thank you for a very nice stay in your beautiful home!
