Great Property & Location
We enjoy the calm of the Watersound area of 30A and decided to extend our vacation by a week and this property was available for us to move into. It was a great setup for our family of 6 (ages 12-16, 3 boys and 1 girl). The bunk room was perfect for 2 of the boys. We had an issue getting into the property but 30A answered right away and was super helpful and responsive. I would say the microwave probably needs to be replaced As several buttons weren’t working on it, but otherwise great property with no issues. Would definitely stay here again as the location is great!

Birthday Celebration
Beautiful property, we vacation at Watersound every year and really enjoyed our stay. This was our first time at Watersound West, usually stay in condos on beach but preferred the house this time. Only suggestion is to bring pool towels since this neighborhood pool did not provide them.

Nice place for a getaway
Enjoyed our stay. The home was very nice. The neighborhood was great for biking or walking. Was a pretty walk to the beach especially since the weather is nicer during this time of year.
