Most stunning house

This is an AMAZING house. Jaw dropped when we walked in. Photos don’t do it justice. Fully stocked kitchen and very clean. Beach access is literally across the road from the front door. Julia and the property management team was so helpful and easy to work with. I will 1,000% rent this home again! Thank you for an amazing stay!

Horrible Vacation

Owner has thermostats programmed to not go below 70 degrees, which makes the house hot and humid during the night. If you open the windows to try to make it cooler, you will find live roaches, flies by the dozens, and strange moths throughout the house. Also, with windows open the jackhammering at 8 am across the street becomes more of an issue. The management company will say they are going to address the issues assuming you can get a response, but they will not. We had smoke detectors chirping during the night and could not sleep. The management company did absolutely nothing to address the issue. At one point they even lied to us and told us they fixed it and the thermostats while we were out for the day. Upon our return we quickly realized they had fixed neither. We ended up cutting our vacation short and leaving the house prior to our planned and paid for reservation date. Strongly recommend to avoid this house and especially the management company all together.

Texans beach vacation !

Great experience! The house was really nice and had plenty of space for 12 adults. The golf cart was helpful to run back and forth from the beach. The bikes made for some nice evening time cruises. Overall great communication and experience during our stay. Beach was clean and not crowded maybe 5 min from the house !

Wonderful

This was our 6th time to stay in WaterSound but first to stay at A Little Overboard. We have always loved this quiet area, but will now be forever spoiled by staying in this lovely house. It was comfortable, easy, accommodating, and gorgeous in every way. We had a stretch of cloudy, rainy weather but we didn't mind because the house was so great. One of my favorite afternoons of the trip was reading on the porch swing bed while listening to the rain fall. Definitely recommend.

Perfect beach house & neighborhood!!

This home was gorgeous, we felt like we were in an HGTV dream home!!! This is an incredible gated community, close to Rosemary Beach & Seaside, which are beautiful, but Watersound is the place to be!! It’s your very own little paradise!! We rode bikes, walked on the boardwalks, took drives on the golf cart, ordered some Bruno’s pizza(delicious)!!! A little Overboard was exactly what our family needed!! The house is like walking into a magazine!!! Beautiful views &close to the beach!!!The beds were so comfortable,& decorated beautifully, everything was spotless! Huge gourmet kitchen, was fun to cook in! The house is a “smart” home, everything was controlled by an iPad! Super easy to use! The hot tub/pool was big & heated up in no time at all!!! We will definitely be coming back to A little Overboard!!!

Fantastic house!!

Loved the house. It was close to the beach boardwalk but we also had a golf cart to carry out beach gear. Loved the fact that it had all king beds, seeing we had no children with us. For those traveling with kids there were also bunk beds. The kitchen was well stocked. The house is a “smart house” which can be challenging to those of us that are technically challenged. Thankfully we had those in our group that weren’t, so we navigated thru just fine. Great weather, beautiful beach, wonderful food and great company could not ask for more. The rental managers were just awesome and pleasant to deal with. Some of the places we ate at were : Fish Out of Water ( excellent) ate outside the view was fabulous, and the food was excellent, great servers. The Vue on 30a. Again excellent food, service, and the view. Bud and Ally’s excellent as well, Wild Olives at Rosemary Beach, we enjoyed this one as well, good food and good service. Overall a great vacation. The house was very coastal inspired decor just beautiful. The WaterSound community is very beautiful and quiet, peaceful. We had some great bike rides and walks thru the area. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect House

We have rented multiple houses on 30A, but this one was hands down the best. The neighborhood is lovely...quieter than some of the other hot spots, yet a short golf cart ride to The Hub. The location to the boardwalk was perfect. The house was very clean and designed beautifully. Communication with the property manager was beyond pleasant. In all of our stays in the area, I've never experienced a more helpful property manager. They were phenomenal to work with. Overall, the location, the house and the property management team were definitely WAY Overboard! :-) Can't wait to go back!

Family Vacation

We stayed at the home for our family vacation before the kids return to school. We absolutely loved the home, everything was clean and the home was absolutely beautiful!!!! The were a couple of downsides. 1. There were ROACHES in the icemaker very disappointing!!! 2. There were female underwear which didn't belong to anyone in my party found under one beds downstairs. The location of the home was perfect and the Hub up the street was very convenient and really cool. The Wal-Mart which everyone loves is waaaaay to far but refreshing once we found out the liquor store was on the inside ... Great Move Wal-Mart! Overall the trip was great and we really enjoyed the home and privacy!!!! We will definitely consider this property in the future!!!!

Overall nice property-well constructed, great location. WaterSound is a great relaxing NW FL beach.

WaterSound community has a large beautiful beach. With a smaller number of homes compared to other beach communities, the WS beaches are a lot, less crowded also. This beach house Included nice amenities including the use of the golf cart and available beach towels. We experienced a couple initial operational issues which were handled well by rental mgmt Co.

Very Nice Property

A very nice property; only complaint is I would of liked to of been closer to the beach. Hauling our gear back and forth each day gets tiresome with kids but golf cart does helps. A great neighborhood, home is perfect for large family gatherings.

A Little Overboard is "over the moon."

The property is truly a luxury home, and our 5 grandchildren and their parents raved about all its features when we set eyes on it and walked through. There was plenty of room to spread out, and everyone seemed to stake out their favorite spots. My husband could be found in the watch tower (anytime he went missing) with its beach views. On our first walk to the beach, we were truly amazed at the huge dunes that protect WaterSound. It is a special place. We enjoyed the community pool, but the children surprisingly preferred the splash pool at the house. The bikes provided gave the children the freedom to ride around the WaterSound community, and we felt comfortable letting them do that. The golf cart was very handy helping us get all our beach "stuff" down the boardwalk a ways, and I drove it to the Puttering Park to play a round with my 13-year old golfer. The kitchen is in a whole other league, and I enjoyed using the best appliances out there - especially the Wolf stovetop with its built-in griddle and warming drawer (for morning stragglers who expect their breakfast ready and waiting ;). My husband and I loved having the carriage house to escape to or turn in early if we didn't want to play "one more round" of a game. Our time there in WaterSound could not have been better, and we look forward to experiencing some magical family time again there next summer. Many thanks to Elena and her associates.

Wonderful week at Watersound, fantastic home!

Our party of 8 adults and 2 children had a wonderful vacation at Watersound Beach and everyone loved A Little Overboard! The home is beautiful, well furnished and extremely well stocked with everything that we needed. We cooked several meals and we were very happy with the variety and the quality of cookware and serving pieces. The kitchen is fantastic, truly a joy to cook in. It was great to have such a large table where we could all sit together for meals and games. Everyone adult in our party had a king bed and their own bathroom, which is important to us. The house was very clean and the mid-week cleaning service was very much appreciated. We received advance communication from Sunburst Beach Vacations anytime a service provider was coming to the house and everyone that we interacted with was pleasant and professional. We had a problem with wi-fi availability a few days into the stay and it was quickly addressed. One of our favorite things about the house was the abundance and variety of outdoor space. From roasting marshmallows in the fireplace on the patio, napping on the porch bed or enjoying a glass of wine on the main floor porch - we enjoyed all of the outdoor options. Outdoor furnishings were all high end comfortable. The pool/spa is very small but nice for an afternoon dip and the kids loved it. Another important amenity for our family is a golf cart. It was great for carrying everything to the beach each day and the kids loved to ride through the community in the evening. This was our second stay at Watersound and our favorite house! As Watersound is still being built out, there is still a lot of construction in the community, including immediately across the street from A Little Overboard. While we could hear construction sounds during the day, it wasn't a problem for us and all of the outdoor spaces were very private. Additionally, all of the construction crews are respectful to visitors and stop work around 5:00 each afternoon. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home and thanks to Sunburst Beach Vacations for professional and responsive service. We hope to return next year
