Fodor's Expert Review WaterColor Inn

34 Goldenrod Cir., Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, 32459, USA Fodor's Choice

At the crown jewel of the area's latest—and largest—planned resort community, nature meets seaside chic in dune-level bungalows that have private courtyards with outdoor showers and upper rooms that have huge balconies and walk-in showers with windows overlooking the Gulf so you can see the sea while you scrub. Standard rooms come with a king-size bed and a queen sleeper sofa, but consider one of the three rotunda rooms for something larger and more spectacular. Included in the room rate are parking, Wi-Fi, one hour of canoeing, one hour of tennis, and bicycle use.

PROS

  • Gulf views from just about everywhere
  • bike and canoe use and tennis included in rates
  • free Wi-Fi and parking

CONS

  • not as private or intimate as renting your own beach house
  • some amenities and facilities need updating
  • pricey with hefty extra charges for beach gear
