    Our experience at High Cotton was exemplary in every possible way. The host was so lovely, warm, helpful and responsive. I find that life can be at its busiest right before heading out on vacation and she sent just the right amount of information and number of well-timed reminders to ensure that we were well prepared and well-briefed ahead of time for a smooth and carefree kick-off to our getaway. The home itself is stunning, luxurious and thoughtfully appointed with anything you could possibly need--it was perfect for our multi-generational family vacation. The kitchen will meet the needs of the most discerning and demanding chef. The bedrooms and bathrooms were beautiful--we felt so pampered--and there is a beautiful office if you need a quiet place for work or a zoom. The bunk room/suite for kids is delightful and a special bonus is a cozy sleeping porch with hanging beds that gently rock in the breeze--perfect for an afternoon nap after a day at the beach. Finally, the location is ideal. You are a quick golf cart or bike ride to the beach club, to the heart of Seaside and to the nearest grocery store and Camp Watercolor is just a short walk from the house. Despite its proximity to all of the action in Watercolor and Seaside, the house is wonderfully quiet as it backs up to a beautifully wooded area. Serenity all around! We unanimously agreed that we would all happily and enthusiastically return in a heartbeat!

    We had a great stay at High Cotton. The house is beautiful and so comfortable! The kids loved the pool, the screened in sleeping porch and the culdesac to rides bikes. My favorite was the all season room to watch movies with the fireplace going! Deborah was great and responded quick if we needed anything. Will definitely stay here again!

    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 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!

    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!!

    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.
