Nestled in the serene surroundings of WaterColor, Pocketful of Sunshine is a 5-bedroom beach cottage that combines natural beauty with refined comfort. Access to community pools, nature trails, and private beach through amenity wristbands provided for guests aged 5+, unwind on the charming screened porch or explore world-class beaches just minutes away.
Welcome to Pocketful of Sunshine, a relaxed‑luxury 5‑bedroom, 4.5‑bath retreat in the heart of WaterColor designed for families and multi‑family groups who want both comfort and convenience on 30A. From four private king suites to a dedicated bunk room and included golf cart and bikes, every detail is crafted to make your time together feel easy, elevated, and unforgettable.
Step inside to a bright, open floor plan where coastal‑inspired interiors create a calm, welcoming backdrop for your stay. The main living area offers comfortable seating for gathering after beach days, while the adjacent dining space and generous breakfast bar keep everyone connected during meals and game nights. A fully equipped chef’s kitchen with premium appliances and high‑end cookware makes it a pleasure to cook in, whether you’re preparing a big family breakfast or a laid‑back dinner at home.
With four king suites and a true bunk room, the layout is ideal for multi‑generation trips or two to three families traveling together. On the first floor, a primary king suite features an ensuite luxury bath with a walk‑in shower, offering a convenient retreat for those who prefer to avoid stairs. Upstairs, a second primary king suite offers a spa‑style shower and private feel, joined by two additional king bedrooms with their own bathroom access. The dedicated bunk room features a twin‑over‑full bunk plus a twin daybed, comfortably sleeping up to four kids or teens, and there is a bonus built‑in twin bunk on the second‑floor landing that little ones will love. In total, the home sleeps up to 12 guests, including children and infants, without anyone feeling crowded.
Pocketful of Sunshine comes thoughtfully stocked with the amenities that make WaterColor so special. Your stay includes a 6‑passenger GEM golf cart and six adult bikes, giving you effortless access to the WaterColor Beach Club, Camp WaterColor pools and slides, multiple community pools, tennis, pickleball, dining, and shopping. WaterColor HOA wristbands for guests ages 5+ are included with every stay, so you can enjoy private beach access, resort‑style pools, and miles of scenic trails without extra amenity fees. Back at home, unwind on the screened porch or upper balconies with your morning coffee or evening wine, rinse off in the outdoor shower after a beach day, and take advantage of high‑speed Wi‑Fi, smart TVs, and a full laundry room for longer stays.
Set in a quiet, park‑like corner of WaterColor, the home offers a peaceful sense of privacy while keeping you just a short golf cart or bike ride from everything you came for. The Beach Club, Camp WaterColor, community pools, and scenic boardwalks are all within easy reach, with Seaside, Publix, dining, and shops only minutes away along 30A. It’s the kind of location where you can park the car and truly live by cart and bike for the week.
Whether you’re planning a cousins’ trip, a multi‑generation family getaway, or a celebration on the coast, Pocketful of Sunshine is designed to help you slow down and enjoy the moments that matter most. Settle in, spread out, and let WaterColor’s trails, pools, and Gulf sunsets become the backdrop to your family’s favorite memories.

Communication with property management exceeded expectation. House was great, more spacious than appears from outside, perfect location. You can’t go wrong staying in this home!
We have been coming to Watercolor for years and this is our favorite house yet! Sharon is very communicative throughout the process and super helpful with any need. Our children are young and were over the moon with be playhouse and dollhouse upstairs! We also loved having upper and lower screened porches. The golf cart was great and one of the nicer ones we have had. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!
We really enjoyed staying in this wonderfully restored cabin. It's private, tastefully decorated and beautifully landscaped. We'll definitely stay again if we're in the area. Highly recommend!
Beautiful house and neighborhood. We enjoyed all of the various pools as well as the beach. The Trolley service to the front door really made it easy for the family to ride to the beach with chairs and umbrellas. We loved our time in Watercolor. We will return!
We loved our stay at “A Pocket Full of Sunshine”!Location was close to the Publix grocery store and having access to WaterColor Beach Club and WaterColor Kids Camp was perfect for our grandchildren 5 and under. The golf cart was an extra bonus which we used everyday, especially having little ones!! Looking forward to returning next year! The property Host was wonderful to work with!
The perfect place to stay with littles!! The loft is adorable, the golf cart is clutch, the house is so nice! 10/10!!
And the property manager was amazing and so helpful!!!
From booking through check out our host was attentive and ensured that our stay was perfect. Top notch communication, hospitality, and the house was immaculate. It had everything we needed and made us feel at home. This experience was well above expectations. We highly recommend and will definitely book again. Thank you!
We all loved it! This was for our 50th wedding anniversary, and all our children and grandchildren came. The kids loved the beach and Camp Watercolor, the adults loved the great dining in the area, and we all loved the house - it was perfect for us! We had a problem with the door lock when we arrived, but the owner took care of it immediately. Everything else was perfect! We will certainly look at coming back when we have another special occasion.
