If you are considering a vacation to Destin and/or CR-30A, then Watercolor Rentals is certainly an option that you should consider. The Watercolor property sits on 499 acres and 1400 feet of sugar white beach front. Nearly 50% of the space is devoted to open space and preservation areas which helps make Watercolor Rentals a unique experience.
Watercolor Rentals also makes sense from an architectural and community feel standpoint. The homes in Watercolor have a classic, Southern architectural feel to them with use of natural landscape accentuated. Watercolor has received the Award of Excellence from the Urban Land Institute, a nonprofit education and research institute with focus on the use of land in order to enhance the total environment.
Another fun aspect for those who chose Watercolor Rentals is the option to participate in outdoor activities while staying on the grounds of Watercolor – there is kayaking, canoeing, sailing and biking. The water sports are compliments of Western Lake, a 220 coastal dune lake, that borders the property.
Another relatively new addition to the Watercolor experience that make Watercolor Rentals worth considering is the addition of Chan’s Wine World to the commercial mix of tenants. Conveniently located at the corner of CR-30A and Watercolor Boulevard, Chan’s offers a retail wine and cheese shop along with pizzas in its front room but opens to a full dining experience in the adjoining room. Outside dining rounds out a unique experience for those who chose Watercolor Rentals.
There is so much more to add as to why you should consider Watercolor Rentals – like the outstanding Fish Out of Water Restaurant overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, the Watercolor Workout Studio, the Olympic size heated pool overlooking the gulf and so much more. I will post more in depth information at a later date such that I think you will agree Watercolor Rentals will be at the top of your consideration for beach vacation rentals.

You know I’d been feeling a little melancholy about Criolla’s in the past year or so.
On a recent outing my guest and I were joined by Richard and Dee McNeese (McNeese Title – 
We all shared the Hummus and Guacamole Dip with Tropical Root Chips and then the Marinated Olives and Goat Cheese with Toasted Portuges Baguette.
Things were starting to get a little hazy in keeping up with the McNeese’s dishes, but I know my guest always wants dessert so we shared the Pan Seared Ribeye Steak and Butter Poached Lobster Tail with Wild Mushrooms, Truffle Butter and Cabernet reduction. My guest likes lobster, I like steak and we both like mushrooms and pretty much everything goes with pinor noir (although I think I remember Dee slipping a little chardonnay over to her at some point).
The McNeeses finished off their cabernet by pairing it with the decadent Warm Chocolate Gateau with Peppermint Mocha ice cream (note the picture to the right as Richard is thinking of becoming a hand model if the title business goes south).
If you thought Criolla’s had lost a step, go again. There’s a better vibe and the food and wine list are as good as it gets in South Walton.
