About this property

Family Home | Beach Access | Private Guest House

  • Parker makes 30A beach days feel effortless. Set inside the gated WaterSound community, this 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath home gives families and groups a short walk to community beach access, a separate guest house, and plenty of places to spread out between mornings by the Gulf and slower evenings back at home.

    Inside, the house feels bright, relaxed, and made for gathering. Sunlight moves through the living room, where the brick fireplace and arched openings add warmth without taking away from the breezy coastal feel. The kitchen keeps everyone close with a large island for coffee, breakfast, and casual meals, while the dining spaces give the group room to linger over dinner or pull out a game once the beach bags are put away.

    Five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms make it easy for everyone to find a little privacy at the end of the day. The separate guest house adds even more flexibility with its own kitchenette, giving grandparents, another couple, or part of the group a quieter place to settle in while still staying close to everyone else.

    Outside, much of the stay can unfold without ever leaving the community. Start the morning on one of the covered porches, walk straight to the beach without waiting on a shuttle, then cool off at the communal pool before heading back for an afternoon on the porch. WaterSound also gives you tree-lined paths for walking and biking, a new playground, several newly built parks, and 24/7 community security throughout the gated neighborhood. A new walkway makes it even easier to head out on foot when the group is ready for dinner or something to do beyond the beach.

    The Big Chill is within easy walking distance, giving you one of 30A’s favorite open-air gathering spots for food, drinks, shopping, and entertainment. Multiple eateries and bars surround a central lawn and large outdoor screen, with live music, family movie nights, sporting events, shops, and an arcade adding plenty of ways to spend an evening. When the plan calls for more time outdoors, nearby Deer Lake State Park offers trails, a coastal dune lake, a boardwalk through the dunes, and another beautiful stretch of Gulf shoreline to explore. Come for the beach, stay for everything around it, and make Parker the kind of 30A getaway you’ll already be planning to return to before you leave.

With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more.

Outstanding house

We had a terrific experience. The house is spacious, has a great layout, very nice amenities and appliances, and is in an awesome location. We loved the Watersound community, and it was idyllic for walking and biking around the area. We’ll definitely be back.

Great location, beach was private and not busy. The pool area was great and the Dune Sider by the pool was convenient for lunch and drinks. We had little kids with us and the walk to the beach and pool wasn’t bad but a golf cart would have been a tremendous help. Just a heads up, you aren’t allowed to rent one in the complex. A lot of people were on golf carts, some rent with the house. Not a big problem, but would be very helpful with the little kids. Overall a great trip.

Some of the beds were a bit soft. The key lock boxes were not functioning. The square shower basin was a bit small. The appliances worked well and so did the air conditioning. Plenty of room for ten of us.

Such an amazing house in a picture perfect setting! We were 4 couples, including a couple young children, in the area for a wedding. Each couple had plenty of room to themself while the downstairs featured a wonderful common space for everyone to enjoy time together. The kitchen and double-sided fireplace were highlights, as was the beautiful wrap around porch. Would absolutely recommend and we hope to return ourselves in the future!

Great family vacation

Our family had a wonderful time at the house. The house was very spacious and clean. We loved how quiet the neighborhood seemed and how close inconvenient it was to the Hub, Alys Beach, and Rosemary. The walk down to the beach was super easy and the beach was beautiful. We will definitely be staying at this house again.

Great location for multiple families

The Parker was well-stocked. Not only was it super clean and spacious, but the home included extras of the "essentials" that guests typically need throughout the week (dishwashing tablets, laundry detergent, trash bags). The location was convenient to the beach and the amenities in WaterSound. Thanks for a memorable Thanksgiving vacation for our families!

Wonderful experience with friends and family!

The house was exactly as pictured, if not better! Everyone had plenty of space without being on top of each other. The host was also kind enough to leave welcoming gifts, which was very kind. The beach accessories made for an easy trip to and from the beach. Would definitely stay in this lovely home again!

Beautiful home in a great community! Host was extremely helpful and inviting. I dropped my wallet in the driveway on our way to the fishing boat. A neighbor found it and returned it. Highly recommend staying here and will rent it again.

Perfect house for our family

House was perfect for us to be able to spread out. We had a few working during the week so the desk areas were perfect. Only thing that would be nice to have is more information regarding amenities ie chair service, pool, key fobs etc. and having a golf cart would add to the overall guest experience. Very relaxing environment. Would definitely return. Highly recommend.

The Carriage house needs hooks, tables etc for guests to put their belongings. Very difficult to lay your things out in and function well.

We will be back! Perfect home in every way!

This Home should get 10 stars! Absolutely wonderful! Our family of 6 (2 elderly parents, my husband and our 2 teenagers) absolutely loved this home! It was comfortable, spacious, quiet (and by quiet-I mean the insulation was great!) if TV was going on in another room, we could take nap easily) While this wasn’t a beach view, we LOVED this neighborhood! Easy bike ride or walk to the beach/pool! The grounds on the property were beautiful! And the pizza place right on the property was fantastic! A short car/bike ride (or leisure walk) to the Big Chill was a hit for our teens! I give this house A+++!!! The Smith Family❤️

Very nice home in Watersound

Everything about the house was great and exactly as advertised. The only problem we experienced in the house was the wifi made you connect to the property management account. That would not be bad except every hour it kicked you off the system and you had to install your name, email and birthdate to reconnect. If you plan on working from home this can be a major challenge.

The house is big and has great spaces. The location in WaterSound Beach is gorgeous with lovely beach access. The house decor is older and very “used” but I expected this for the very reasonable price. The issue I had was with the property management company. When we arrive a key was missing from one of the lock boxes (carriage house), there was no hot water in most of the bathrooms, and the outside spaces of the house were really dirty. The hot water took days to resove and I spent a lot of time talking to an overseas call center before finally getting to a local team. The inside of the house was mostly clean but insides of drawers, small appliances, and some surfaces were covered in dust, crumbs, and hair. The carriage house is a great space but there is nowhere to put clothes (no closet, drawers, or even hooks). This was really inconvenient and people staying there had to borrow closet space in other rooms. The supplies that were supposed to be included were inconsistent (broken shampoo dispensers), decaf coffee only, no coffee filters etc. overall, I felt the house was good value for the price, but if you are expecting a luxury VRBO 30A experience, it is a bit disappointing.
