About this property

3BD at WaterSound West Community, Pool & Beach

It’s true:  Here all paths do lead to the sea.  At Sea Esta, your entire group will enjoy beautiful, designer-inspired accommodations plus privacy, and a relaxing place to retreat that is just down the path from the beach.  
 The community of WaterSound West Beach is tucked between Eastern Lake and Deer Lake on the south side of Scenic Highway 30a.  With the Timpoochee Trail (better known as the 30A bike path) connecting over 17 miles of noteworthy communities, rare dune lakes, top restaurants, bars, and dozens of options for retail therapy you’ll find yourself in the middle of tough decisions, like do I bike or walk to the beach? Should we hit the pool before or after lunch? Enjoy the gulf on the YOLO board or kayak?
 
The WaterSound West Beach community pool and pavilion are just minutes from your doorstep.  You guessed it – follow the path to this very large pool and pavilion which includes fountains and a zero-entry feature, perfect for any age group.  After a swim, continue to follow the paths right to the Gulf of Mexico.  Watersound West Beach beautifully preserved the large dunes and natural landscape letting the mixed bike and pedestrian path wind through it all.
 
Enter the home through a quaint front porch into its large, open floor plan where the coastal décor comes to life!  In the kitchen, the blue cabinetry perfectly blends with updated stainless steel appliances.  The large island with breakfast seating will make preparation for a large meal or light appetizers enjoyable for everyone.  This kitchen is made for function and ready to serve up your favorite recipes.
 
On the first floor resides the home’s primary suite which boasts clean, crisp décor and a beautifully finished linen bed.  The bedroom’s bath is privately accessed within the bedroom offering the utmost in privacy for your guest. The bathroom encompasses natural tones through its granite countertops and masonry details.  This bathroom is equipped with double vanities and a standing shower.  Don’t worry, there is a first-floor powder bath just for your extra guests.

 Moving to the home’s second floor, the younger guests in your group can enjoy the media room located at the top of the stairs.  A flat-screen TV, storage, and a sofa may offer an ideal place for a movie or family game night! Built-in bunk beds just off the media room offer two extra sleep spots and are vibrantly decorated like our gulf coast's sunsets.

 The home’s third bedroom offers a queen bed, flat-screen TV, and an additional en suite bathroom.  Natural tones continue in this bathroom with its granite countertops and tile detail.
 
The true primary bedroom shows the same calming coastal colors and adds an element of teal with its headboard.  With plenty of floor space and easy pastel colors, a Sea Esta will certainly be on your agenda while staying in this bedroom retreat.  The en suite bathroom has a very large standing shower, double vanity sinks, and a large mirror.
 
After a long day on the beach what better way to relax than to return to this outstanding outdoor living space and grill some of your favorite coastal recipes?
 
Fun on the resort-styled scenic highway is around every corner!

Spring Break

I loved the gated community and small crowd. Beach access a bit of a challenge, but we rent bikes from across the street, so no worries there. This was mu 5th trip to WaterSound West.

Low key post-Christmas family time in a beautiful setting

Great house! Loved the screened-in porch and the boardwalk right behind it that led to the spectacular beach. Quiet setting and once we got off busy 30A, it was like being in another world. Hope to come back for another stay!

Wonderful Vacation!

Our vacation was absolutely wonderful. The house was very clean, well appointed, in a great location and extremely comfortable. The walk to the pool and beach were easy. The best part was that the beach was basically "private" - very few people and not crowded like the other areas tend to be. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful home in quiet secluded community. Private access to beach where it was not busy at all.

Superb luxury property

Accurate listing. Great location 10 mins from Seaside. The pool is wonderful and the beach is quiet. It IS a trek but over the boardwalk so the included beach wagon made things easier and it went nicely over the sand. The bonus bunk beds in the corridor upstairs are great for younger kids. Hosts very responsive. Would stay here again

Great House

My family really enjoyed the house. There was plenty of space for us all to spread out and didn’t feel cramped. Only disappointment is how far it is to the beach. From the front door ato the sand, it is .60 miles. If you’re toting beach chairs etc., this gets old especially walking back in the afternoon when it’s hot and sunny. Other than that, everything was great and the neighborhood is nice and quiet.

Pre-summer vacation

This is a very nice, quiet, upscale neighborhood. This home is well built and clean. The couches and chairs were comfortable, the beds were at least pretty good. The kitchen is furnished nicely, enough to cook and serve a meal. Everything in the house worked properly as well. The walk to the beach is about 1/2 mile each way, but is worth it as the beach area is more private than most gulf beaches. This is a very nice place for a family vacation.

We had a great time at Sea-Esta. The house was gorgeous and the perfect amount of space for our family of 4 + mother in law. The walk to the beach wasn’t a problem at all especially with the house supplied beach cart. We had a great time and will for sure be back to Watersound.

Hidden behind towering pines and native vegetation of an old growth coastal forest on the Gulf side of Scenic Highway 30-A is the charming, coastal retreat called WaterSound® West Beach.

Yet, the WaterSound West Beach community is conveniently located to the shops, lively eateries, and local activities of famed Scenic Highway 30-A.

The WaterSound West Beach communities homes are steeped in classic maritime influences with natural wood shingles, deep porches and elegant craftsmanship. Painted with a palette of natural colors, the homes are designed to sit slightly above the contours of the land to take advantage of the refreshing Gulf breezes.

This sophisticated, yet quaint neighborhood, offers numerous amenities for your comfort and enjoyment including a swimming pool area, outdoor grill and fireplace, puttering park as well as beautifully crafted boardwalks and plenty of parks, winding trails and natural areas.
