About this property

Southern Charm | Bikes & Private Beach

  • Southern Charm by Oversee 30A | Perfect in Walton County Awards – Three-Time Diamond Winner – Best Rental Mgmt. 2026, 2025, 2024

    Southern Charm lives up to the name. This stylish four-bedroom sits inside the gated WaterSound West, with a bright living space that gives everyone room to spread out and a screened porch that opens straight onto the neighborhood boardwalk. Coffee, fresh air, and a stroll or a bike ride to the beach? Boardwalk!

    Highlights:
    📍 WaterSound West (Gated Community)
    🏖️ Private beach access via a scenic boardwalk
    👙 Access to community pool (heated seasonally)!
    🚲 4 bikes included
    🍷 Mini-bar with wine fridge
    🛌 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths (Sleeps 10)
    🔥 Gas grill
    🚿 Outdoor shower

    The first floor keeps things civilized. The fully equipped kitchen comes with a wine fridge and a mini bar, which is a very good pair of neighbors. The dining table seats six, and the breakfast bar seats four more, for the people who always end up near the snacks. After dinner, the living room is yours to take over. A half bath and laundry room are close by.

    Upstairs and down, everyone gets a place to land. Two primary suites end the primary-suite argument before it starts, each with a private bath, double vanities, and a walk-in shower. The guest room, queen, has its own bath. The twin-over-twin bunkroom shares a full bath and will be named best room in the house by anyone under twelve. Upstairs also has its own living area with a full-size sleeper sofa. Plenty of room with plenty of comfy.

    Out back, the screened porch leads to the community boardwalk and private beach access. Spend the afternoon at the WaterSound West pool, heated in cooler months. Beach in the morning. Pool in the afternoon. Rinse off outside. By dinner, nobody's watching the clock.

    At Oversee 30A, we keep it simple: clean, comfortable homes and a local team close by. Our office is nearby and open seven days a week, with 24/7 support for the moment someone can't find the corkscrew.

Watersound West-Southern Charm

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great experience at this home. It was spacious, clean and well-equipped. The only thing I would suggest is some additional bikes. Staying in this community really does warrant bikes for everyone due to the distance to the beach. We’ve stayed there for years and always loved how quiet & quaint it is even on a holiday week. Another bonus is that the beach is private so it’s never busy which is amazing!!

Great Neighborhood and Nice Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Royal Destinations was very communicative leading up to our stay. This was greatly appreciated. Upon arrival, there was a small issue with a toilet, and they sent someone to address it right away. The home was well stocked with everything needed for a week. The floor plan was perfect for two families with plenty of space. And the beds are extremely comfortable. A note for others... the beach access from this neighborhood is private and as such there is no chair service. We had a very unfortunate experience with LDV (the concierge service recommended by Royal Destinations). Just be aware they will book you chair service, but it is a quarter mile up the beach on a crowded public beach.

Amazing Beach Vacation

We loved our week stay in the Watersound community. The house was beautiful and there was plenty of room for 6 of us. We enjoyed biking to the beach and the quietness of the community. Location was ideal between two of the busier towns. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Great for large and/or extended family

The check-in process had a sight hiccup but otherwise the experience was positive. We've booked with 3 different rental agencies now and this one was definitely an improvement over last year's choice. Very easy to contact especially with all the covid craziness.

Be sure to rent or bring bikes with a burley to get to the beach - it's a long haul, but we loved our rides everyday and so did our kiddo. Look forward to coming back next year!

Charming Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely gorgeous, immaculate, new beach cottage with room to spread out, lavish furnishings, well-stocked kitchen with everything you could need and more. The proximity of the other cottages' porches in high season needs to be a consideration from a noise standpoint. The walk over Deer Lake State Park wooden bridge to the serene and almost deserted (compared to overrun Seaside and Watercolor) sugar white sandy beach was well worth the walk. The owners have great pride in this home and Royal Beach was easy to work with and very nearby, should a problem arise.

Perfect Beach Cottage Getaway

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Southern Charm met our every expectation .... A beach trip with our daughters from out of state for my husband's birthday. The layout and design (we are professional commercial designers ourselves) were so perfect, our daughter who just purchased property in St. Croix and wants to duplicate this beach cottage. Very clean, like a 5 star resort, Royal Beach Rentals were very professional and helpful, staying in touch via text and email. Our location was perfect, close to both Seaside and Rosemary Beach. Loved the bikes, and the pool was luxurious. I would highly recommend Royal Beach Rentals and this cottage.

Fabulous Home

This was our family vacation. All 10 of us had a bed. We chose this property on line because the photos were beautiful. When we arrived we were so excited. PURE LUXURY!!!!!!! The adults could actually watch TV because the grandchildren had their own TV sitting area upstairs. Yea!!!!! The art work was so beautiful and perfect for this home. We could not have been happier. The trip to the beach was a little further than I at my age could make with my cranky old knees. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home. Dealing with Royal rentals was wonderful!!!!!

Watersound West is a beautiful quiet neighborhood with access to a private beach. Southern Charm was extremely clean and well furnished. The beach is a quick 10 minute bike ride or 15 minute walk to the beach. The pool area is located at the entrance to the boardwalk to the beach. The property description by Royal Destinations was accurate and the photos depict the property as you will find it. We wish we had an extra week to enjoy Watersound West and Southern Charm. We would highly recommend Southern Charm as well as Royal Destinations.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a wonderful weekend at the rental. Beautiful home, and everyone from Royal Destination were nice and helpful. On arrival, we discovered the AC was not working properly. Maintenance guy, Shane, worked so hard to get the AC fixed on the same night and someone else followed up the next working since there was a leak, losing freon. The walk to the beach with 2- one year olds and 1 two year old was a bit of a challenge and seems a bit too far but driving to the pool and then walking to the beach helped.
