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.

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.

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.
