Flight
There are 2 airports closest to the Seaside / Watercolor area where our events are! 1) Northwest Florida Beaches Airport (ECP) - Panama City Beach, FL is about a 40 minute drive to Seaside. 2) Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS) - Destin, FL is about a 50 minute drive to Seaside.
House Or Rental
We advise that most guests rent homes from the most prominent rental company in the area, 360Blue. There are several neighborhood options. #1 is Watercolor. The wedding itself will be taking place in Watercolor, and this is where the Ciabottis, Kellys, and bridal party is staying. The neighborhood offers a Beach Club, tennis/pickleball, pools, a lazy river & more! It is walking distance from downtown Seaside.
House Or Rental
The next neighborhood to possibly stay in is #2, Seaside. Downtown is too cute! Where the Truman Show movie was filmed, there are pastel cottages close to the restaurants and shops of downtown. This neighborhood offers less in terms of amenities, (tennis, public beach access), but is still right in the thick of it!
House Or Rental
The next neighborhoods are #3 and #4, Seagrove Beach or NatureWalk. A couple minutes down the road from Watercolor / Seaside, Seagrove and NatureWalk are less expensive options, but may require lots of biking or a rental car! We have stayed in both, and they are lovely, just a bit further away from all the action.
Hotel
Right in Watercolor, the Watercolor Inn is the only major hotel in the walkable / immediate area. It is walking distance to downtown, and a 2 minute walk to the ceremony and reception sites. It also sits right on the beach! It's a gorgeous hotel, and the higher prices reflect that!
