The Longleaf

Tucked into WaterColor's Camp District on Florida's 30A coast, this house is built for the kind of holiday where days blur pleasantly between pool and beach. A private pool with a sitting spa sits at the heart of things, bordered by coastal pines and a screened outdoor living area with a fireplace and alfresco dining across three levels. Five complimentary bikes make it easy to roam the neighbourhood's cycling trails, while the WaterColor Beach Club – three pools, a Gulf-view grill, and a sunset bar – is just steps away. Camp WaterColor and private beach access round it out.

Home truths:
* Your ten wristbands for WaterColor amenities and community pools match the maximum occupancy exactly – so every guest in your group is covered, but there's no flexibility for day visitors.
* Pack your own beach and pool towels – bath towels and linens from the home are not to be taken to the beach or pool.
* You'll find parking for three vehicles here – useful to know if your group is arriving in multiple cars.
* The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
* While the home can sleep up to fourteen people, the maximum occupancy is ten guests.
