30A great house

Loved the rooms and plenty of dishes, sand equipment, bikes. The pool we heated was comfortable. The room above the garage was an added bonus. Only negative was the frying pans which everything stuck to. Bring your own if they don’t upgrade them! The gated community is fantastic with large pool, clubhouse, snack shop and beach access.

Watersound is the best!

We love Watersound. We try to stay here and love the quiet neighborhood. This house was great and accommodated everyone. There were 4 bikes to use, and wagons in the garage for the beach. Everything was great. The only recommendation I would have is to allow usage of the golf cart. There was one in the garage but renters were not allowed to use. The walk was 5-10 minutes and would have made it much easier for those older family members to get to the beach. Other homes have allowed golf cart usage, but this is the first one that did not.

Amazing property

We loved our stay at this house. It was perfect for our family as we had grandparents who needed to stay on the first floor, another set of grandparents who loved the apartment above the garage and two sets of twins and their parents who enjoyed the second floor bedrooms, balconies, and living area. The house is clean and beautifully decorated. We loved having access to both the private and neighborhood pool. And Watersound is safe for younger kids on bicycles with a stunning beach and dune walkover. Highly recommend! (The only suggestion I’d make to the property managers is to update the info about bike and beach chair rentals. We had some trouble with children’s bikes from Vacayzen and it would be helpful to have the name of the umbrella and beach chair company that has the Watersound contract ahead of time. Right now it’s La Dolce Vita.)

Can not say enough about this property and the property management staff! House met all of our expectations and even more so. So roomy, beautiful decor, large pantry, ice machine, extra fridge space, - I could go on and on. Management was extremely attentive to my questions before, during and after our stay.

Wonderful Week in Watersound

Our favorite 30A community and 31 Keel Court did not disappoint! A quick walk to The Hub and Bruno's Pizza for easy carryout. The heated pool was a hit with the kids and also the parents while the kids were down for naps! The carriage house above the garage that's accessed by a separate stairway is perfect for relatives/friends that want additional space/privacy. The property was clean and well decorated. More than enough space for 4 adults and 2 kids. Look forward to returning again soon.

Very nice property

Good size property and great number of beds and bathrooms. A little worn from renting and the washer and dryer are tiny for a place that sleeps 12, can only fit 3 or 4 beach towels, takes forever to dry.
