Incredible Designer Lakefront Home in Watersound West Beach * Brand New to the Rental Market*

Welcome to Heron Cottage, a stunning 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom designer lakefront home nestled in the exclusive Southside 30A gated community of Watersound West Beach. Perfectly positioned close to the private beach boardwalk and community pool, this exquisite property is bordered by the expansive Deer Lake State Park, offering a unique, uncrowded beach experience with stunning dune vistas and a protected natural environment. One of the few rentals directly on Watersound Lake, Heron Cottage provides easy access to the crossover boardwalk, where you can enjoy fishing and turtle watching.

Watersound West Beach is ideally situated between the vibrant communities of Rosemary Beach and Seaside, close to the shops, eateries, and attractions of Scenic Highway 30A in the Big Chill, Old Florida Fish House. Make Heron Cottage your next vacation destination and immerse yourself in the tranquil luxury of Watersound West Beach, where every detail is designed to enhance your stay.

Many of the communities along 30A are continuing to expand, so many more individuals can come enjoy the crystal blue waters of the Panhandle. Unfortunately, a side effect of this is construction and all the items that come along with it, such as noise, roadblocks, etc. We understand this can be inconvenient for our guests, which is why we have chosen to make all possible guests aware of the possibility of this during their beach vacation. As this is outside of 30A Cottage's realm of control, we are not able to offer discounts/compensation for any noise complaints, road blockades, etc. during a guest's stay. Please reach out to a team member with any questions you may have!

Community Amenities
Hailed for its eco-friendly design and environmental stewardship, Watersound effortlessly blends top-notch amenities with the breathtaking natural environment that has made 30A a world-class destination.
