Perfection!
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!!

High Cotton is perfect in every way!!
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.

Great Stay at HighCotton in Watercolor
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.

The perfect family holiday
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.

Just as breathtaking in person!
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.

A True Gem
My family of 14 (ages 1 to 70) had an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING time at High Cotton, which is a VERY special place. Our gracious host made sure that checking in and out was easy and expeditious. The house exceeded all expectations. Each room was beautifully decorated and spacious. We loved the high ceilings and beautiful artwork. But the best thing were the common areas, including the indoor and outdoor porches which allowed us to spent time together as well as relax alone. The kids bunk bed area on the second floor was the perfect place for a cousin sleep-over. The beautifully designed and well equipped kitchen inspired several (mostly male!) family members to cook gourmet meals and the pool was an absolute lifesaver providing endless entertainment for the little kids (the pool alarm made this very safe). One of us had to work and the library was the perfect place to do this undisturbed. Everybody loved the close proximity to the various pools and beaches, and the restaurants were only a bike ride away! All my children and their spouses agreed that this was the PERFECT vacation for a family like ours, which is generally hard to please! We will definitively be back!

We have rented in Watercolor for 12 years and never had a house as stocked as this one! We were super impressed and Highly recommend this property!!! The house was beautiful, spacious and super clean. Comes with so many fun games and puzzles for raining days. We had so much fun with the poker game! So thank you so much for sharing your amazing house with our family. Our kids and grandkids loved it too. Our Grandkids loved the pool and was in it every day! God bless you and your family!!
