Rosemary Beach/WaterColor, Florida
Explore Florida’s beautiful Emerald Coast along Scenic Highway 30A when you stay at one of Inspirato’s classic beach homes. In the charming WaterColor community, you’ll find Sunset Cottage—a colossal home with a heated private pool, gourmet kitchen, plus ample indoor and outdoor entertaining space. Nearby is the colorful cottage of Malachite, with an open-concept floor plan, newly renovated kitchen, and cozy, screened-in back porch.
A few miles east, the colonial-inspired town of Rosemary Beach is home to Scarlet Sage—an airy, modern home with a heated saltwater pool, just a 10-minute walk to the beach. Also in Rosemary Beach is the spacious Coastal Dune, sitting just steps away from the beach—boasting panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico, as well as proximity to the boardwalk and town center. And to the south, within the exclusive gated community of Watersound, Daylily offers five bedrooms and a separate carriage house.
The Caribbean of the Continental U.S.
Long stretches of powdery white shores, beckoning aquamarine waters, and a soft sea breeze greet you here along the Florida Panhandle’s Scenic Highway 30A. Rosemary Beach and WaterColor Resort both provide the beauty of a Caribbean experience with the convenience of staying within the continental U.S. In this laid-back stretch of coastline, you’ll find beachside bars, gourmet bistros, and expertly designed neighborhoods along stretches of road leading to uncrowded beaches. Go for a laid-back bike ride with sweeping ocean views along the communities’ designated paths, or opt for a beautiful drive down the 30A corridor’s namesake highway.
