Anyone care to comment on WaterSound West?

I sold West Beach for St. Joe for the past 3 years until recently and I just wanted to clarify that anyone who purchases in West Beach from the developer can buy a Beach Club membership. I personally think West Beach is amazing and would like to live there myself. If anyone would like additional information I am more than happy to help.

Also you can custom build anything you would like on a lot in West Beach as long as it follows the guidelines provided for that community. Their guidelines are almost identical to WaterSound Beach guidelines.

Thanks for sharing that info. What does a membership cost, and does it include all access?

Drove by this weekend and noticed something going up to the left of the entrance gates, so I guess some things have sold. Doubt that its anything Joe is building.

Probably about the same distance, but the path goes through the state park, so you don't just tram it. A plus over Seacrest North is that once you get to the beach, it is gorgeous and pristine -- and not very crowded.

It would be a fabulous place to live if you built your own house and enjoy walking to the beach. Being next to Deer Lake State Park is a huge bonus. The trick is don't haul everything to the beach but the kitchen sink. Try taking nothing. With little to no crowd, it is a good place to fish.

Beach club usually cost 20K
now offering at 5K
paying nearly all closing cost
3 spec homes asking 854-889
no garage no closets tiny
small pool puttering green

i believe it would be a much slower pace than watercolor.

great location best bet would to build what you want. i think it is a good choice for primary residence.

about the haul. .... bike with trailier!

The upside to the beautiful "haul" to the beach along a comfortable boardwalk is that it is also a "haul" for storm surge to reach your house. Nicely situated behind primary and secondary dunes among cozy coastal upland habitat.

Agreed - I have a friend who just bought a house there and she is thrilled (and she is a full timer here!)

I think WS West is fantastic for a primary home, or a second home that you don't plan to rent. Really nice community pool, WS Beach Club is available, beautiful (!!) walk to the beach over a long boardwalk over the Lake. You can also bike to the beach as there aren't steps and there's a bike rack towards the end.

I think it will end up much less hectic than WaterSound or Watercolor, if that's what you're looking for. No views. If that's important to you, you'd have to look elsewhere.

I'm curious if folks know of any other neighborhoods that fit the above description (nice pool, south of 30a, beach access)?
