The Vacation We Were Hoping For

Sometimes you never know what you’re gonna get, but with this property, our expectations were surpassed in every way. We’ve been traveling to 30A for years and finally feel like we found a secret location. The beaches are of course amazing and so easy to get to from the condo. You can actually fill the golf cart provided up with the beach chairs, umbrellas and toys that are also provided, drive on the actual boardwalk right to the walkway down to the beach. it takes about five minutes to get there. The condo is even bigger than it looks in the pictures and extremely nice and clean. It’s fully stocked if you wanna cook for yourself or you can walk right next-door to the pool and eat the best mahi sandwich you’ll have in your whole life at the Dunesider Grill. There are beautiful ocean views from all the windows and patios. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful, so nice to just wander around in. The Florida Fish House is accessible by bicycle, also provided, just out of the neighborhood to the left. You can also easily bike to areas like rosemary for lunch or dinner or shopping. The big chill (a.k.a. The Hub) is right next-door and has an amazing little espresso and breakfast shop. So nice to jump on a quick bike ride and grab a delicious coffee everyone morning before a day on the beach. Can’t say enough about this rental, but we finally had a stress free family beach vacation! Thank you!

Great place!

This condo is beautiful and comfortable. The views are wonderful from every room. Kitchen had everything we needed to make dinners and Publix is a short drive for groceries. Property was very nice and easy to get around. Golf cart was a fun extra and we used it to drive to beach and dinner at Bruno’s pizza. Definitely eat at Bruno’s when you stay, it was fabulous. Location was perfect with easy drive to seaside and rosemary beach. Beach was not as packed as other places we have stayed in the area. Unfortunately, the creek next to us broke through to the ocean and it made the water quite ugly. We were able to walk to clearer water to get in and others were swimming in the dark water, so I guess it was safe, but not pretty. Overall this was a great pick for our trip and would definitely stay again in the future.

Beyond Words

The Watersound Community is breathtaking. I took walks every day and saw something new each time; from lily ponds to streams to a putting park! Not to mention the beautiful boardwalks to the beach and the beach itself of course. The Condo is gorgeous, comfy, and quiet! The host is incredibly responsive and helpful! I just can't say enough about my stay here! I highly recommend this property and this community!

DETAILS BEYOND - Looking further is a waste of time!

Cheri went so above and beyond for us to stay in her amazing space. First let me say its outrageously gorgeous, exquisitely decorated with a view that is beyond tranquil. Morning walks to the beach are steps from your front door. As grandparents exhausted from summer fun with our grandson we desperately needed time to relax and unwind. Golf cart, bikes, chairs, beach towels, coffee, tea, personal care and cleaning supplies - I cant think of anything missing from this condo, but if i could Cheri would have provided in a snap. The nightlights are located exactly where they need to be so as you walk to the fridge late night to grab a snack - your never walking on an unlit space, OH and auto sensor! Thank you Cheri I'm beyond grateful for your attention to detail to make our much needed break a true experience. Ron & Sydel

Best accommodation in 25 years

This was one of the best trips we’ve had to the 30A community. If you want a serene, quiet vacation I recommend this property. Our host was fabulous. Always there if we had any questions. There were many amenities not offered by other rental properties. Clean, impecable. Beautiful decor and view to the ocean. We couldn’t have asked for more! We will be back again soon. Thank you For letting us share Encore! ❤️

This was one of the best beach properties we have stayed at. Beautifully decorated and the extra amenities made it so comfortable, relaxing, but fun! Hard to find a 30A property with a beach view - but this one did not disappoint. I couldn't have asked for a nicer and easy-to-reach host either.

Perfect family week at the beach.

This is our 3rd year spending a week at Watersound beach and the first time renting in Compass Point. The place is top notch and perfect for a family of four. The condo is decorated nicely, the kitchen has everything needed if you want to cook, the beds were comfortable, the place was very clean, and the host was easy to work with. We particularly enjoyed the balcony with a great view of the beach and gulf. As it is on the east side, once the sun moves overhead in the afternoon, the balcony is shaded and great to hangout, relax, read, and have a cocktail before going out for the evening.

Best experience ever!!

We stayed 4 days at Watersound Beach…2 adults and 2 teenagers. It was such an amazing trip. Check-in was incredibly easy…even in the dark of the night. I was pleasantly surprised when I first opened the door. The vaulted ceiling was amazing (certainly not your typical 2 bedroom condo). The bedrooms were separated on each side of the family room. Furnishings were beautiful…clean and bright! The kitchen had upgraded appliances and all the utensils we needed to cook meals. Bathrooms were large and the granite throughout the condo was amazing! The mattresses were super comfortable. Washer/dryer came in handy when my husband splashed the butter from his crab legs on his shirt. ;) The kids had bikes to ride around the neighborhood and down to the HUB where they could hang out and eat. The pool is right across from the building and is heated. We walked on the wooden paths to the beach everyday…takes less than 5 minutes. The condo has an ocean view and a deck where you can sit and watch the water. We drove down to Seaside a few times which took about 10 minutes and Publix is also in that vicinity. We noticed right from the beginning how quiet is was there. That is very hard to find anywhere else. This condo met all of our needs and we will definitely be back!!

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS

This property is absolutely top notch!! Everything about renting this property was absolutely 5 star, and I would have given more stars if I could! The owner is wonderful to work with for starters!! The check in could not have been easier! When we arrived the home smelled so fresh and clean! Water was already in the coffee pot, a variety of coffee displayed in a basket, the lighting was perfect! It was such a nice welcome to enter into the beautiful property with certain lights on! It was lovely! The beds and linens are amazing and the towels smelled and felt super fluffed and fresh! 😁….. the location could not be beat! The view from the 4th floor was lovely! Very easy to get around watersound! Fabulous place to walk!! I honestly can’t say enough positive things about our stay at this property!! I will for SURE rent this property again! We have been coming to the 30a area for YEARS, but have never stayed at Watersound! This trip changed my entire trajectory for a beach vacation!! FABULOUS!!!

Highly Recommended

This is a wonderful condo in a beautiful location - Five stars all around. We've been visiting the 30A area for over 20 years, and this is one of our favorite spots. We experienced great communication with the owner and a very smooth rental process. The condo is fully updated with top-end appliances and finishes, stylishly comfortable decor, and a very serene ambience. Moreover, the Watersound views are unparalleled. It's a bit sleepy compared to other 30A communities, and if you want peace, quiet and a perfect place to recharge your batteries, then this would be an excellent choice. If you're looking for party central, then you might want to look elsewhere.
