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.

Hailed for its eco-friendly design and environmental stewardship, WaterColor effortlessly blends top-notch amenities with the breathtaking natural environment that has made 30A a world-class destination.

    The home is nothing like it was represented online. Porches had not been cleaned, bathrooms were in disrepair. Linens I am assuming were clean but really didn't look it. Cushions on all the furniture were stained and needed to be addressed. The rug in the main living area was ripped and needs to be replaced. Just not up to standards for Watercolor at all. Management company was not interested in working with us and indicated that they had sent someone back out to clean it and it was approved but we couldn't even tell it. We ended up leaving the property for another management company. I would suggest that the owners inspect your property frequently as this management company isn't taking care of your home. I have attached photos for further proof that this home was disgusting. We were working with 30A Cottages but will not rent from them again.

    This house was nothing short of amazing. My family was SO happy here. The neighborhood is beautiful and has so many family friendly amenities (multiple pools, tennis, beach). The home layout is perfect and decorated so beautifully. We absolutely loved staying here and are already talking about when we can go back! Thank you so much for allowing us to use your beautiful home!

    What an amazing house for our first time visiting Watercolor. July is a very busy month and the location of the house was perfect to escape the crowds and is situated back in a very quiet cul-de-sac. House is very spacious with an amazing open concept kitchen/family room. We definitely plan on visiting again!

    It’s an exceptional property. Very accommodating to our family of three couples and 5 children from 1 to 9. Spacious and 3 porches. A golf cart for that kind of group is important since the beach club is a considerable walk with kids. The walks to the Camp Watercolor and the Frog Pool are doable.

    This is a beautiful property. It’s located on a quiet street, free from traffic and fairly close to the pool and camp watercolor. The house was well stocked and there was a lot of sleeping capacity. This was by far our favorite property at Watercolor.
