The Neighborhood:
Watersound West Beach is a beautiful coastal resort community located on the Gulf of Mexico, nestled between Destin and Panama City Beach, Florida, in the heart of South Walton County on Scenic County Road 30A. Just three miles east of Seaside, Florida (the filming location for The Truman Show), the neighborhood takes inspiration from traditional seaside communities.

The community is made up of five unique home districts, each offering its own character and charm. With miles of boardwalks winding through the area, several parks, a zero-entry swimming pool, and a picturesque lake, there’s no shortage of places to explore. While driving is an option, walking or biking is truly the best way to experience everything WaterSound West Beach has to offer. The 199 homes here are each distinctive in design, elevation, and color, contributing to the overall charm and atmosphere.

Take a dip in the pool, enjoy the sight of turtles in the lake, capture timeless moments with your family, or simply stop and soak in the peaceful surroundings. Private boardwalks will lead you through the scenic Deer Lake State Park, offering stunning views and unforgettable sunsets along the way.

Surrounded by majestic pine and oak trees, marshlands, state parks, and coastal dune lakes, WaterSound West Beach sits in a truly unique environment. The rare dune lakes—found only in five other countries—are part of a delicate marine ecosystem where the water shifts between salt, brackish, and fresh as the lakes open and close. With its breathtaking natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere, WaterSound West Beach offers an unparalleled escape to relax, recharge, and immerse yourself in one of the most exceptional coastal settings in the world.

Beautiful house

The house is beautiful and in a very nice and quiet neighborhood with good beach access. The beach is a fair distance from the house, but this was mitigated by the provided bikes which were certainly appreciated and much used! One note: Watersound West is a stand alone development which isn’t really obvious in the listing. You do not get access to the other Watersound developments/amenities (or at least we didn’t, and we did bike over to the main part of Watersound and were turned away by security). A second small demerit relating purely to management- the oven was broken and this was not communicated to us in advance (and was a known issue when we called it in). Normally not a big deal, but we arrived at 8 pm with a casserole for dinner. Not ideal!

remote beach

The house was great, a perfect cottage in a quiet neighborhood. The only drawback was the inaccuracy of the beach service rental, there is no beach service nearby because that particular beach is run by the state. Was a blessing though because it’s completely worth dragging chairs and umbrella to this beach - so quiet and remote, pretty amazing. oh and i had to go buy kitchen towels as they only provided 2! otherwise it was great!

Great Home and Neighborhood But…

Home was great- needs a few things - more kitchen towels as we like to cook a few nights, dustpan and broom, electrical outlets in the master bathroom on the main level. We have stayed in their neighborhood before and love it. Very disappointed that the community voted to not use the beach service for setup of the umbrellas and chairs. It is a trek to the beach with all gear needed….Because of this we will no longer stay in this neighborhood. Communication with the property managers was average as they do not know many details of what is offered in this neighborhood and should to help out of town guests with planning.

Beautiful Property

This is a beautiful property with lots of space for a full family of all ages. My small children loved the bunk bed area. We also enjoyed the spacious bedrooms for each of the members of our family. It’s a short 10 min walk to the pool or beach. Although the photo shown on this listing is not accurate. The pool does not look like that for the community where this house is located. Watersound is a beautiful community! Highly recommend.
