About this property
South of 30a! Private Beach!! Private pool, gas grill, and 4 bikes included!
Come enjoy lazy beach days and relaxing nights at our spacious beach retreat. This four bedroom, four bath, open concept home has lots of room for you to spread out and make yourself at home. Three covered porches, fire pit, and your own personal plunge pool expand your living area even more. Cooking dinner is easy in the large kitchen or on the backporch grill, but the excellent restaurants of 30a will tempt you too. The sugary white sands of the Gulf are just a short walk or bike ride away, through our gated community at Watersound West Beach and across the picturesque boardwalk that crosses the protected sand dunes of Deer Lake State Park. Enjoy the calm waters of the rare coastal Deer Lake or walk the quiet beaches by the beautiful blue waters of Gulf Located between Seagrove and Seacrest Beach, Watersound West is a private retreat that is still close to all that 30a has to offer.

This is the second time we stayed in this house and it was perfect yet again. Our family of 9 (ages 80 - 14) loved every minute. We had a minor Wi-Fi issue when we arrived that was totally our fault and the owner and property manager were very responsive and understanding of our mistake. Hope to stay again next year!
We had a wonderful week in this beautiful house. It’s even prettier (and larger) in person than in pictures. Plenty of room for us (ages 15 - 80) to spread out. We went to the beach every day, and enjoyed some delicious meals that were a breeze to prepare in this very well equipped kitchen (also enjoyed some meals out at some of the great area restaurants). Loved having the personal pool, and all of the decks and outdoor spaces. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
We had a great experience and a peaceful stay at this property. The house was better than the photos. Spacious and comfortable in every way! We would stay there again in a heartbeat!
We had such a terrific stay. There was more than enough space for our group of six, and it’s location to the beach and pool made allowed us to have a great time. We were grateful to have found such a comfy place!
We love the subdivision and the private beach. We also like the size of the house. This was our third time staying here. Not sure if the cleaning company has changed but the cleanliness was not up to previous standards. The grill had not been cleaned. The garage refrigerator had not been cleaned and had about an inch of some liquid in the bottom drawer . The floors had swept but not mopped in a while.
This was one of the best places we have stayed for our family vacation. Property was clean, plenty of space and the private beach was PERFECT! Bit of a walk to the beach but my 75 & 78 yr old parents made it just fine. Kids loved the bikes and the neighborhood pool!
As usual, we found the house clean, well stocked and quite comfortable. The neighborhood is great for walking/biking and was very quiet. It’s close to The Perfect Pig and the Florida Fish House both of which we highly recommend. All in all, a great getaway from the craziness of the world!
The property manager and owner were very responsive and helpful. The house was clean and tidy and matched the listing descriptions. My family and I were very happy with the location and its proximity to the community pool and beach. Overall, I highly recommend this vacation rental.
Loved the house- better than description
- and the neighborhood, and beach. Etc. Loved the chairs, wagon, umbrellas, etc., fire pit and plunge pool. Reg pool is nice too. Great week at the beach.
This property was our 6th on Watersound west (it is our go to on 30A) and we had another wonderful stay. The house is immaculately kept, perfect for a family much larger than ours (we have 3 young boys).
The kitchen is huge and it’s great having the grill setup for all the fresh seafood we were grilling.
We had a very responsive experience as well with the landlord which was great. Would love to come back here next year!
We had a fantastic 2nd annual stay at this beachside rental! The accommodations were top-notch—well-stocked, clean, and comfortable. We had a minor issue with an appliance, but it was resolved swiftly and smoothly. Communication was excellent throughout. The neighborhood and amenities were perfect for our needs. Highly recommend!
We are a family of 8 ranging in age from 16 to 80. We have been coming to 30A for 16 years, first to Rosemary Beach now WaterSound West and this is by far the best house we’ve ever stayed in. The house was perfect, plenty of room to spread out or gather to play games. The outdoor spaces were great, after a day at the beach we loved lounging by the plunge pool. The house was well appointed with all the necessities.
It is always a wonderful time when we can get away and vacation along 30A.
I would like for the home sponsor to contact me. The home is beautifully appointed and the same for the neighborhood. Some TLC is needed in some areas of the home.
Our 3rd straight summer at this property! The beach is a 15 minute walk, but we managed with the provided wagons. A big pro is that this area of the beach is so much less crowded than the public area. Our kids (ages 6, 4, and 2) had a great time in the community pool, and we loved having the plunge pool available when we were home for naptime. The house was very clean and true to the photos with lots of areas for our group to spread out!
The pictures do not do this place justice. It is one of a kind! The house is huge and well stocked. The walk to the pool and beach is easy. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. I would highly recommend this house to family’s looking to enjoy some peace and quiet.
This house was such a hidden treasure. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. The home was extremely clean and very nicely appointed. The plunge pool was a great bonus! We absolutely loved our stay. A note for improvement: The upstairs King room mattress could use replacing-it felt really old and squeeky.
Overall, our week was magic. The home was perfect for our family and so very comfortable.
Great house to have a family thanksgiving celebration. Even had guest entertainment from Frank the black bear. He only tried to help with the garbage collection in the neighborhood. He’s not much on the clean up. Teenagers had some wild life education. Cleanest gas grill I’ve ever had at a 30A rental. Some of the bikes need a little attention with fenders on tires. Thanks for letting my family rent your house. Allen H
House was awesome. The kids used the pool more than we thought they would!
Bikes need maintenance but they worked. Grill and screened porch were perfect for meals. We picked up buddy’s seafood across the street most nights.
Master bed is very firm. We didn’t think we would like it because it seemed hard. But in hindsight our backs didn’t hurt so we’re wondering if we need one. 😂
First time at this location, 5th year at Watersound West
My family decided to stay at a different house this year since the price of the usual house had gone up dramatically. Mr. Summer's house is absolutely beautiful. The family had a great time this year as usual. My boys enjoyed the pool at the house. Some minor issues came up but did not affect our stay, and they were handled by Ashley, the property manager, in a timely manner. The grill was very cleaned and worked well. No wi-fi issues. Bikes were included and were enough to ride back and forth to the beach. Typical house supplies such as toilet paper, dishwashing detergent and laundry detergent were supplied and didn't need to use my own stash. The family is looking forward to spending time here again!
We just enjoyed a week stay here and everything was perfect! This beach house was even better than the pictures. Everything was clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook meals during our stay. The house had 6 bikes, beach cart, wagon, chairs, umbrellas and sand toys. No need to bring anything for the beach. We’re a family of 5 with 3 teenagers and we were able to bike with all of our beach things for the day. The bike ride is about 7 minutes from the house across a boardwalk that crosses sand dunes and an area of water. It’s a very beautiful ride. The community pool and the house’s own plunge pool were also very nice. The neighborhood is beautiful and we enjoyed biking/walking around to see all of it. The neighborhood is about 10 minutes away from Publix and there are several restaurants close by. We biked to the Big Chill for shopping and restaurants. Great location and beautiful home!
The property manager is also amazing. She’s quick to respond and very helpful. We only had one issue and she had maintenance there within a few hours to resolve the problem.
Everything about this house was great. Very large, much larger than it appears in the pictures, plenty of room for everyone to spread out. We've stayed in several houses on 30A and this has to be one of the most well appointed ones. The walk to the beach is about 15 minutes, or a 5 minute bike ride, but it is worth the extra distance since you will not be piled up on top of people on this area of Watersound Beach, compared to some of the other communities along 30A, we like this area for how quiet it is. The garage had several bikes and enough beach gear to accommodate our entire group. I also appreciated the very nice BBQ grill with a direct gas connection (no tank), I can't tell you how many homes I've been to where the tank is out. We'll definitely be back to this house.
