The oceanfront view was incredible! The condo was clean and suspicious, so much bigger than I expected for a three bedroom. We cannot wait to go back!

The views are spectacular! We love staying here. The location is so convenient to everything. We also love that we can bring our senior little dog as well. Only thing I would suggest is to have some of your gorgeous custom bedding and pillows dry cleaned. Looking forward to our stay next year.

Absolutely love this beautiful property! Stunning views of the ocean and the dune lake! Large deck is great for relaxing and stargazing. The master suite is spacious and inviting and far enough from the other bedrooms for some added privacy! We have been staying here for several years and look forward to this trip every year!
We loved the unit!! It was beautifully decorated! Great view of the beach!The best!!
The only downside was the long walk to the beach, My husband had hip replacement a couple of months ago and another senior who found the walk difficult.

Views from Above
The condo was beautiful and views were incredible. The outdoor furniture needs reupholstered. The rips in the fabric look shabby; and the deck could use refinishing. The walk to the beach was much longer then depicted online. Watersound is a beautiful peaceful community. Paradise properties did a great job in communicating with us. I would give it a 4.5 stars.
Property was beautiful with breathtaking views of the ocean, however, getting to the beach was a little cumbersome, at least 1/2 mile walk because of the jetty in front of the dunes. Property had some bugs and the refrigerator door does not close properly, but we were overall very happy with the property

Thank you for your review and feedback! We will look into the door for the refrigerator, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We also had pest control go out. Views from Above does have wonderful views! Sitting on the back porch overlooking the Gulf is the perfect view. So relaxing! We hope you can come back and stay with us again soon!

Stay at View from Above
Excellent location and spectacular view! The condo was very beautiful and quiet. We especially enjoyed the walking path and amenities of the well-kept property. The only negative experience we had was finding the unit and parking garage. The signs on the buildings are a bit confusing but we figured it out with help from the property management. The property manager was very helpful and easy to reach. This was definitely one of our best 30A vacations and we would like to stay again at this property.

Beautiful Condo , amazing view!!
I was worried traveling during the pandemic to Florida. The condo was clean and provided everything we need to enjoy our stay without the need to venture out. It was clean , elegantly designed and comfortable . The beach was a 5 minute walk and was not crowded. Water sound gated community provided the private beach experience that we were looking for. When we didn't go to the beach the views from the balcony was amazing!!Our kids had an amazing time playing and relaxing all day on the beach. I am definitely looking forward to coming back soon!
We had a wonderful time staying at watersound! The property is gorgeous and has a wonderful view of the ocean. The sunsets from the balcony are beautiful and the watersound neighborhood is full of so many cute homes. The property is close by to a little shopping center where you can rent bikes or get food which was so convenient.
We were worried about the parking situation before we arrived (watersound only allows for two cars to park near the property). But this ended up not being a big deal because the main entrance (by the large gate house area) has a parking lot and it’s a very short drive or even a short walk away.
We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back!

Overall it was a great condo with great views. The complex has become tired and needs a good pressure wash along with some new updates. Inside the condo was great but the main TV in the living did not work at all so no college football or NFL. It was expensive after all of the extra fees - seems like the rentals on 30a have doubled in process.

Beautiful views of the gulf! Walking distance to the Hub/Big Chill. Elevator nice as condo is on the 3rd floor. Unfortunately, the pool was closed and once opened, the water was freezing. Took awhile to find out what pools are available with this rental. Tape all over the floors was not nice to look at. Check-in was not clear and you have to go to a different area to get your pass which wasn’t clear in the description.

As I detailed in my previous email, we were disappointed in the condition of the unit, attention to detail, lack of expected amenities and overall cleanliness. This unit appears to have the original HVAC components that need replacement, a deck that needs sanding and refinishing. The deck furniture that is torn. This is not a first class unit as it was under the previous owners.
