Escape To WaterColor, Florida

Owned by two (related) Dartmouth families, this 5-bedroom impeccably designed and decorated home is situated just a short stroll or bike ride-away from the breathtaking dunes and sugar-sand beaches of WaterColor, Florida. Named America’s top family vacation destination, WaterColor has a laid-back, small-town feel yet offers a multitude of world-class amenities.

Known as Mist Flower, this exquisite two-story home features two master bedrooms, one on the first floor and the other upstairs. Each has an elegant ensuite bathroom with double vanities, soaking tub and separate shower. In addition to the 2ndMaster, the second floor also offers a fun bunk room for kids, a bedroom with two twins, and a fifth bedroom with another king-sized bed.

Warm hardwood floors combined with light paint colors and modern furnishings give this home a sunny, peaceful feeling. Designed with a family-friendly open floor plan, Mist Flower’s gourmet kitchen opens to a large living room and separate dining area. Add in a cozy, deep front porch for alfresco dining, a private balcony with bed swing and rocking chairs, plus five adult bikes and the recipe for total relaxation is complete.

Guests have access (much of which is complimentary) to multiple swimming pools, kayaks and canoes, paddle boards, tennis courts and fitness center, not to mention tee times at the Tom Fazio-designed Camp Creek Golf Club (named “Course of the Millennium” by Travel + Leisure Magazine) and the Greg Norman-designed Shark’s Tooth Golf Club. Fishing options – both in-shore and off-shore – abound.
