Please note: The Watersound Beach HOA is completing balcony restoration across all the Watersound condo buildings. This work affects ALL the condos as Watersound, not just our unit. The work started in March is scheduled to be completed by mid-July of 2026. At times, there may be weekday construction noise, temporary balcony closure, and workers nearby. As of June 17, the workers have put in our new balcony tile, so all that is left for our unit is cleanup/details and scaffold removal.

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.

Condo and views were excellent. Very spacious condo. Great views. So many positives and one negative in the fact that although the bikes were great, we couldn't ride them off the property due to not having a key fob. (Security wouldn't allow us back in through the gates. We love to bike so this affected an otherwise amazing stay. Pool code didn't work so we had to use the Dunesider pool, which turned out to be very nice anyways.

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!

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.

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!
