Didn't want to leave!!
Plimsoll Retreat is just that -- a RETREAT!! We enjoyed every minute of our time on 30A. This house is located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. It has a beautiful pool and a private boardwalk to the beach. We used the bikes everyday to either ride to the beach or ride to the neighboring towns. The burly was a real bonus because we could put all of our chairs and other beach needs in there for easy transport. The house is picture perfect! We had one rainy day, but I didn't mind because it gave us the opportunity to enjoy hanging out at this beautiful home. I highly recommend this place and I hope I get to stay again SOON!! Thank you for sharing your place!

Beautiful home, beautiful town!
The home was perfect for our family! My in laws stayed on the main floor and it was so accommodating for them! The pool was clean and so nice! The walk to the beach was peaceful and beautiful. The white, sandy beach was amazing and made it so hard to leave.

Phenomenal Plimsoll!
The condo is absolutely gorgeous with serene decor. We had everything we needed in the well equipped kitchen! My 84yo, well traveled friend stated it was the most beautiful place she has ever stayed in! We enjoyed coffee on the screened in porch, walked or biked(bikes provided) to the beach and dining, and rented golf cate to explore neighboring towns. I think we picked a great time to go , as it wasn’t too crowded and weather was perfect. The beach was the most beautiful I ever saw! Sand was like flour; so white and soft! I had a couple questions during our stay and reached out to Greg. He was quick to respond and very kind! I highly recommend staying here- it was the perfect get away!!

Absolutely wonderful!
We had an amazing time at Plimsoll Retreat! I can’t think of anything that wasn’t already thought of! Very clean. The kitchen was organised and stocked with everything needed. The welcome book had such great suggestions for food and fun. We loved having the bikes available! Our grandson spent a lot of time riding Everywhere!!! The pool, the beach the area were so much more than we could have wished for. The home was beautiful and truly a beautiful home! We can’t thank you enough for our wonderful week at your home!

Why they chose this property

We vacationed in this area for years. In 2021, we decided to purchase a home in Watersound West Beach as a place for our family to retreat to. We were on a bike ride and knew there was a home for sale in the community, so decided to ride through the area. We rode our bikes down to the beach boardwalk, and as we came through the dunes we knew this was the place for us to buy.

What makes this property unique

Plimsoll Retreat is located in a gated community with private access to the beach. It is a quiet community nestled on the beach side of 30A. There is a beautiful subdivsion pool that is heated during certain times of the year.
