About Watersound

Everything is perfect here. Including the poolside service. Watersound is like that VIP lounge you secretly wish you could get into. And guess what? You can. Snuggled between two dune lakes, amid waving grasslands and white-sand dunes, Watersound proudly celebrates the best of the best.

Sure, it has the 30A charm, but what sets it apart are the well-planned resort-style pools and those stunning boardwalks, winding through the dunes to the sea. Simply, there’s no getting around it. You’ve arrived.

CLOSE TO PERFECTION.

Central, yet secluded. Easy to get to, but hard to say goodbye. This private 1,400-acre utopia, just off Highway 30A, between Seacrest Beach and Seagrove, is so private, you may just miss it. And if you get a case of the antsy pants, Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach, and Seaside are just minutes away. But let’s get real here. After a few minutes in paradise within a paradise, you won’t be leaving Watersound anytime soon.

NEW KID ON THE 30A BLOCK.

The 30A area was largely undiscovered until the early 20th century, and wasn’t paved until 1961, connecting the area’s small beach communities for the first time! But Watersound? A bonafide “late bloomer”, this utopia didn’t take shape until the early 2000s. And what a beautiful shape it has become! The layout, architecture, and the many dream homes are like nothing else on 30A. Looks like the best came last?

CALM. COOL. CAPTIVATING!

Did you forget where you parked? No problem, you won’t be needing that thing until later. Much later. Getting around on flip-flops, while soaking in the unhurried pace and the gorgeous surroundings, well, the vibe here is next-level luxury. Families, couples, and anyone looking to escape the crowds will love the calm, soothing atmosphere. Truly blissful.

WILD! AND WONDERFULLY DESIGNED.

Privacy? Conservation? Architectural harmony and attention to detail? Hmm. Thank goodness you don’t have to choose. Quite simply, Watersound has it all. With careful planning, this community takes care of its breathtaking seascapes, rolling dunes, and untouched beaches. Yes, Watersound’s natural wonders are a huge draw. But the all-encompassing blend of everything – nature, charm, and design – is what makes this portion of paradise unforgettable.
