This is the second time we have stayed at this property. It is nice and allows the whole family space to stay together. The closest beach access was closed due to construction, but there are other entrances as well.
House was perfect for our growing family. We had a quick hiccup but was handled immediately by management company! I definitely would rent this home again. Location, location!!!

Excellent news, Mary! Please come back and see us - Exclusive 30A
Good size property and great number of beds and bathrooms. A little worn from renting and the washer and dryer are tiny for a place that sleeps 12, can only fit 3 or 4 beach towels, takes forever to dry.

Had a great time in Watersound. Plenty of room for several generations. Pool was a plus. The only negative was the ice maker!
Loved the rooms and plenty of dishes, sand equipment, bikes. The pool we heated was comfortable. The room above the garage was an added bonus. Only negative was the frying pans which everything stuck to. Bring your own if they don’t upgrade them!
The gated community is fantastic with large pool, clubhouse, snack shop and beach access.

Thanks for the positive review, Terry! If you have any suggestions on how we can earn all 5 stars, feel free to shoot us an email!
Our favorite 30A community and 31 Keel Court did not disappoint!
A quick walk to The Hub and Bruno's Pizza for easy carryout. The heated pool was a hit with the kids and also the parents while the kids were down for naps!
The carriage house above the garage that's accessed by a separate stairway is perfect for relatives/friends that want additional space/privacy.
The property was clean and well decorated.
More than enough space for 4 adults and 2 kids.
Look forward to returning again soon.

The home that we rented was fantastic! It met the needs of all 12 of us! There was plenty of room! The grandkids loved the pool and we were only blocks from the community pool and beach! Another thing we liked was the quietness of the area. This is the 2nd year we have stayed with 30-A property. Both years gave us lasting memories and we look forward to next year!

Wonderful vacation; however, we were extremely disappointed that the golf cart was unavailable for my elderly parents and to make it worse, we were told that Watersound doesn't allow rental carts even though there was no shortage of owners golf carts being used throughout the property.
