About this property

Gated, Private Beach. Exclusive use of pool, outdoor kitchen, dining, living

Are you looking for a luxury retreat that fits your small group perfectly? We are offering a unique opportunity to experience luxury like none other on 30A without having to rent a very large and expensive home. Our attached 1 bedroom carriage house, private pool/spa, 2-story cabana, and summer kitchen, could be perfect for you. Our home is located in the private enclave of Watersound Peninsula.
The Peninsula provides privacy and security from the crowds that have unfortunately become a problem for surrounding communities along 30A. Although, the communities along 30A are very accessible with a short bike ride.
We have chosen to retain the larger home for our own use, but when we are not in the home we are inviting guests to rent the attached carriage house, pool/spa, and the entire outdoor furnished living areas. You will have it all to yourselves to enjoy!

The carriage house is 450 sq ft. The pool bath and dressing area are 100 sq ft. The summer kitchen, dining area, and 2 outdoor living rooms add another 1152 sq ft to your living space.

The carriage house will sleep a total of 4 people. There is a queen bed with 9.5-foot doors that pull together to provide some privacy, a queen sleeper sofa, and a banquette that turns into a queen bed. There is a full kitchen in the studio (albeit compact) with a cooktop, under-counter refrigerator, convection oven/microwave, and dishwasher. The summer kitchen offers a second full-size kitchen including a large grill. Also, there is a full bath in the carriage house and another full bath in the pool dressing room/bath equipped with a washer and dryer.

The outdoor living spaces are truly spectacular featuring a large pool with an integrated spa! The pool and spa can be heated at a cost of $60 per day to cover the natural gas cost. Adjacent to the pool is a two-story 1152 sq ft cabana. The first floor features a fully equipped kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, grill, burners, dishwasher, and microwave. It is fully equipped with pots, pans, kitchen utensils, and dinnerware. You have everything that you need in the carriage house and the summer kitchen to prepare and feast on a gourmet meal. In addition to the summer kitchen, you will find a dining area and a full living room with a TV and fireplace. On the second floor, you will find another living area with a TV and fireplace. So, if part of your party wants to watch the football game, the teenagers want to watch a movie and the kids want to watch cartoons - no problem you have TVs and living spaces to please everyone!

The home is located in a gated, very private community on the south side of scenic 30-A. The access to Camp Creek Lake, a rare coastal lake that feeds into the Gulf, is 100 feet away. The Watersound private Gulf beach is a 7-9 minute walk along a pedestrian-only boardwalk that is adjacent to the lake.

If you are looking for a truly high-end property with privacy for your small group, then this is the property for you! Treat yourself!

Amazing stay

Watersound is the perfect place to escape to on 30a. The area is very crowded but this was a wonderful escape from that. The place is perfect - large outdoor living area - comfortable bed - and close to beach. Thank you for letting us stay it was wonderful!

Great stay, but cut short 😞

My wife and I LOVED OUR STAY HERE! Both George and Deb were very accommodating throughout our stay from having a little trouble checking in to my wife asking mid-stay to have the pool heated George was there for all our needs! We were looking for the perfect spot to celebrate our 10 year anniversary that checked the boxes for all our wants and needs in what we’d want in a house of our own some day in this area. This property checked the boxes and more! Unfortunately our stay was cut short and we had to leave mid-week instead of Friday due to Hurricane Helene. We will without a doubt be staying at George and Deb’s property again.

Beautiful property

Great location and property. We enjoyed the outdoor kitchen tremendously! The owners were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. There was a little hiccup with the AC unit the first night, but they gave us options and ultimately we decided to stay and they got it fixed within 24 hours and we had no other issues. We would go back again!

Little Gem by the Sea

Love this place! Was a perfect setup for my small family who prefers spending their time with each other and the beauty of nature itself rather then being smothered by the crowds of people that the beach communities of 30A typically bring. So peaceful and luxurious. Not to mention, excellent host/owner that provided wonderful experience through the whole rental process. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Quick Getaway

We had the best time! Deb is so great and made it so easy to communicate with her. The pool was chilly when we arrived. We needed the heater turned on because we had our twin babies with us, and she took care of it in no time. The outdoor areas are so great. Everything you could need. We really enjoyed our stay!

Week of pure relaxation

We travel to this side of Florida often, over the past several years. To date this was the most relaxed trip we have had. The privacy of the outdoor space was amazing. The guest house is small but for the two of us, was perfect. And the opportunity to use the outdoor pavillion afforded us extra space for all of our extra items we brought (electric bikes and our exercise equipment) a huge shout out to the owners for an exceptional vacation package. In addition, we had one minor hiccup but it was resolved extremely fast with great communication from the owner.

One of the best rentals ever

There needs to be more stars for a spot like this. It's on 30A but nestled back from the main road so it feels secluded. The neighborhood is wonderful, and the home is just absolute perfection. Easy check in, hosts are friendly and accomodating and helfpul with food recs, and it possesses everything you want for a getaway, Immaculately landscaped, a summer kitchen right by the pool and hot tub (which is where we lounged all weekend), and all the amenities you want. Right across the road is the entrance to the lake boardwalk, which takes you along the lake, over walking bridges, and right to a beach that is remarkably not-crowded. Every single thing about the location speaks to why it's worth every penny. Book it, you will not regret it.
