Thank you John for the kind compliments on Breathtaking! We also think Breathtaking has the best wrap-around ocean and scenic views in Watersound Beach, and that Watersound Beach is the best, most private, most beautiful community on 30A. Watersound has 1 mile of private beach, and over 250 acres of grounds with lots of walking and biking paths, beach boardwalks, an 18-hole putting green, kids play-park and beautiful scenery all over!

Exceptional property!

For over 30 years we have come to the Florida coast to enjoy family vacations. This property ranks in the top 5. The condo has a beautiful 270 degree view of the ocean, and the two pools are conveniently located close by.Darrell, the host, was very responsive to any questions we had. We plan to return in the near future. We are happy to give it a 5-star rating.

Beautiful Views

We recently stayed here with two families (total of 3 kids) - the layout was perfect for us. We appreciated the elevator access on move-in day. We spent our days at the beach / pool or shopping in different beach towns and spent most evenings enjoying the view from the patio! We would definitely recommend, it exceeded our expectations.

Stunning property and views!

We loved our stay here! 3rd floor views from the main room and balcony are stunning. This is a wonderful property in a gated community with convenience to the beach, multiple pools, access to bikes to ride around the neighborhood. We especially loved coming in from the beach, stopping by the pool and ordering lunch or snacks poolside without having to head back to the room. The rooms were clean and new, beds were comfortable and living spaces open and refreshing. Will definitely be coming back as often as we can!

Beautiful Views

We had a wonderful stay at Breathtaking. The views are spectacular. The extra amenities and garage full of beach gear were especially nice. We enjoyed taking the bikes to the Hub for live music in the evenings and used the relaxing pool area nearly everyday. Beds and linens were extremely cozy. As was the furniture in the main living area for hanging out and watching a movie. Thank you for sharing your property! We had a wonderful stay.

Great view from every window!

Just returned from a last minute girls vacation. There were only 3 of us, so plenty of space to spread out. Balconies were great for ocean views and catching some sun. Very close to The Hub and all of its food and activities. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again. The sooner the better!

Wonderful Stay

We had a lovely week at Watersound. Late October is quiet on 30A but nice time of year at the beach. The condo was very comfortable and even better than the online photos. We spent a lot of time on the balcony - beautiful views. Only negative is the dishwasher. Condo is really well furnished and equipped. We will return!

Thanks for the nice review Hilary! Come back anytime! To our future guests - this guest had hit the "delayed cycle" on the dishwasher by mistake - the key buttons on the dishwasher have the letters a bit worn, so that is an easy to understand mistake. But the dishwasher works fine!
