Welcome to Sand Crab Cottage. While its name reminds you that you are on a relaxing beach vacation, its décor is pure luxury. Children will love this home's bright coral bunk area and spacious brick patio just begging for sidewalk chalk and riding toys. But the adults will truly appreciate all that Sand Crab Cottage offers, such as elegantly appointed bedrooms with custom draperies and bedding. Throughout the home, white shiplap walls and Carrera marble counters provide the perfect backdrop for the pops of coral, gold, and aquamarine. The main living area is spacious yet connected, allowing conversation whether you're prepping dinner in the gourmet kitchen or curled up on the den's deep-cushioned couch. Multiple French doors open to the roomy screened-in porch with a gas fireplace, and a mounted TV. Enjoy a fire watching the big game while sipping cocktails during the cooler months, or unplug and eat a quiet dinner set to the symphony of cicadas and tree frogs in the summer. The front porch offers a bed swing perfect for reading a book or taking a nap as you await friends and family to return from the beach or pool. Backing up to the State Forest, and on one of the largest lots in Watercolor, Sand Crab Cottage offers tranquil privacy with easy access to community amenities. Whether you are visiting Camp Watercolor, the beach, or the food trucks in Seaside, each is just a short walk, leisurely bike ride, or golf cart drive away.

NOTE: When booking, please provide the correct number of adults and children that will be staying in the home. WaterColor requires a wristband for all guests 5 years and older, to allow access to the amenities (pool and beach) so you must provide the correct number of guests to ensure everyone will have access to the community amenities. We are not able to provide additional wristbands after your arrival, so it is imperative you inform us at least two weeks before your arrival if there is a change after the time of booking. The HOA will not allow more than 12 guests in this home at any time, and they will not issue more than 12 bands per stay. No exceptions can be made.
Many of the communities along 30A are continuing to expand, so many more individuals can come enjoy the crystal blue waters of the Panhandle. Unfortunately, a side effect of this is construction and all the items that come along with it, such as noise, road blocks, etc. We understand this can be inconvenient for our guests, which is why we have chosen to make all possible guests aware of the possibility of this during their beach vacation. As most of this is outside of 30A Cottages realm of control, we are not able to offer discounts/compensation for any noise complaints, road blockades, etc. during a guest's stay. Please reach out to a team member with any questions you may have!
