"What a fun stay. Just there one afternoon and night but best stay we have had in a long time. 20 steps to coffee shop, fun little outdoor market right outside our room as well. We stayed at the Woodpecker with our small private outdoor screened porch to enjoy our coffee in the room. I would recommend Hibiscus Coffee and Guesthouse to anyone going to Grayton beach. AJ’s seafood Restaurant is 30 steps from our room so didn’t have to move the car our entire stay. FIVE STARS."

"We stayed Sunday-Thursday at the Watercolor Inn and it was nothing short of incredible. Even before arriving and calling the resort asking questions the week leading up to, to make sure we had our boxes checked, the staff was incredible! My husband and I both mentioned at least once a day how kind and helpful all of the staff were both at the Inn and throughout the Watercolor community! Randy at the front desk was great and gave us recommendations that ended up being family favorites! Rooms were clean and they leave you fresh baked cookies every evening on your bed. We also loved the Treats Suite! The pool was great and not crowded. The poolside service was incredible. We will be back!"
