My family of four (2 adults, 1 teen, 1 tween) had an awesome time at Harry's house. The house is perfectly located in the quaint Watersound community, within a short walk or golf cart drive to the private beach. Our beach was the best we saw in the area -- beautiful huge dunes and calmer water than surrounding beaches. We rented beach chairs and umbrellas from La Dolce Vita - pricey, but the shade is so necessary in that Florida sun.
The house was so comfortable and had everything we needed. We cooked and grilled most days; and took the golf cart down to the beach every evening to watch the sunset and play on the beach. We visited over the 4th of July and saw incredible fireworks from our beach. After the beach every evening, we drove the golf cart around the community, admiring the beautiful houses.
The impressive fitness center and Brunos Pizza (great!) is a quick 3- minute walk from the house. Nearby communities (Seaside, Watercolor, Alys Beach) and fantastic restaurants are a very close drive.
We rented a pontoon boat for three days and fished/swam the bay - a super fun experience. We saw tons of dolphins and caught a huge number of fish.
Last, but certainly not least, the owner, Harry, is a gem. He was incredibly responsive and gave me so many great tips about the area. We will definitely be back!!
