Our family had a wonderful stay at this property. This house was spacious with plenty of room for us to all enjoy time together, but also had space for us to be able to enjoy time alone as well. We all slept so soundly in the comfortable beds. The bunk room was perfect for the kids to bunk up together. The owners were so responsive and gave us many recommendations for activities and dining options in the area. The house itself is well equipped for cooking and dining at home as well. The location is perfect and easy to walk or ride bikes to Camp Watercolor. The golf cart was perfect for trips to the beach and beach club. We would definitely recommend this house and will return again one day!
We’ve stayed in several homes at Watercolor and High Cotton was our favorite. Very clean when we arrived. Nice home with a well stocked kitchen, lots of parking and plenty of room for our extended family vacation. Debbie is a great host and took care of everything we needed. Can’t wait to visit again!
We had an amazing stay in WaterColor, Florida! The house was absolutely beautiful—spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked, which made cooking and dining in a breeze.The beds were super comfortable, and we especially loved all the extra spaces to relax—the cozy sleeping porch, the welcoming front porch, and the air-conditioned sunroom in the back, which was perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach.The included golf cart was a huge plus and made getting to the beach and exploring the area so easy and fun. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base for our vacation. Highly recommend and would definitely return!
This was my first time to stay in Watercolor, and it did not disappoint. Beautiful home with all the amenities you could want. Will definitely stay again.
Amazing property and even better host! The owner’s attention to detail is off the charts. I would highly recommend this beautiful, spacious, and private home to anyone looking for a get-away. I can’t wait to return!
High Cotton was perfect for our family getaway with 7 adults and 13 kids. They were well stocked with everything we needed and Debbie the host was always available and communicative. Great location with easy access via the golf cart to everything watercolor has to offer. All weather porch on first floor was the perfect hangout spot and 2nd floor sleeping porch was a nice getaway for quiet time and reading. Pool alarm on door to pool area is a great safety feature with our little ones and the pool backing up to nature reserve allows for privacy. Great stay highly recommend.
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!
We just wrapped up the most incredible Thanksgiving week at this stunning home and we can’t stop raving about it! This house had EVERYTHING we needed for a perfect family getaway. The enormous kitchen was a dream for cooking our holiday feast, equipped with every utensil and gadget imaginable.
The heated pool was absolute luxury—perfect for lounging and swimming, even on cooler evenings. The kids (and adults) loved retreating to the cozy sleeping porch, where they had their own little hideaway to watch movies and relax.
The house offered plenty of space for all 10 of us to enjoy time together while also finding quiet corners to unwind. Whether it was sipping coffee on the porch, walking to the nearby stores, or exploring the charming Watercolor neighborhood, this trip created unforgettable memories for our family.
If you’re looking for a home that combines comfort, style, and fun, this is it! We’re already dreaming of coming back!!
High Cotton is an absolutely beautiful property! The home is large and spacious, beautiful inside and out with too many amenities to count. Great location in the culdesac. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need. Great open kitchen overlooking family room with central area. Rooms are spacious, TV's are all setup to have all that you need.
The owner is amazing, you can tell she truly cares and wanted us to enjoy our stay.
We all loved the pool! The golf cart was so convenient it added another layer of perfection! Walking, biking or golfcart distance to Seaside, Watercolor Beach Club, Camp Watercolor and Publix. Also the cleanliness of the home, It was absolutely impeccable!
Such a remarkable and special place our family fell in love with it from day one, we can't wait to go back!
Thank You!!
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.
The time my family spent at High Cotton was perfect in every way. The house is located on a quiet cut-de-sac within walking or golfcart distance to Seaside, Watercolor Beach Club and Camp Watercolor. Our time spent at all three locations provided fun for all members of our multigenerational family. The home is large and spacious so we never felt crowded or on top of one another. There were 4 families, 14 of us in total (age 2 all the way up to 70 yrs old) and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep, enjoy family time together or even have some quiet time alone. The home is really a special place, beautiful inside and out with too many amenities to count. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly imagine or need. I also really loved and appreciated the alarm button on the door out to the pool. We had kids in our group that are not able to swim so that feature was a huge bonus and provided an extra level of protection. The owner is also a wonderful person. She was immediately responsive to our questions and any needs we had. You can tell she truly cares and wanted us to enjoy our stay.
If you have the opportunity, I HIGHLY recommend booking High Cotton for your next vacation. I know my family can’t wait to go back.
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.
The property was spectacular and described perfectly in the listing! The house was extremely clean, very spacious and the kitchen had everything needed to cook in and enjoy family time! The communication with Debbie exceeded expectations and my family and I would definitely stay at High Cotton again
Beautiful family friendly home with lots of space. Property is in a private location at the end of a cul-de-sac. Favorite spaces were pool area, sleeping porch and bunk room for the kids.
We had the best week with plenty of room for our very large, multi-generational family. Couldn’t have asked for better amenities! The kitchen is one of the most well-stocked we’ve ever seen. Thank you for sharing your space with us!
This house has everything you need to relax and enjoy your vacation. A beautiful home in a great location with a nice pool. High end amenities and gracious hosts.
This is a really great rental property. We had four kids 4 and under and it worked beautifully. Loved the location in Watercolor. Can’t say enough about the home itself and the communication from the owner. We will definitely be back!
My family recently spent a wonderful week in Watercolor, where we stayed at High Cotton.
I cannot say enough about the beautiful house, amenities, and helpful information and tips provided by the Slimps. Our family, which included 6 adults and seven children ages 4 to 14
