Make Heron Cottage your next vacation destination and immerse yourself in the tranquil luxury of Watersound West Beach, where every detail is designed to enhance your stay.
Many of the communities along 30A are continuing to expand, so many more individuals can come enjoy the crystal blue waters of the Panhandle. Unfortunately, a side effect of this is construction and all the items that come along with it, such as noise, roadblocks, etc. We understand this can be inconvenient for our guests, which is why we have chosen to make all possible guests aware of the possibility of this during their beach vacation. As this is outside of 30A Cottage's realm of control, we are not able to offer discounts/compensation for any noise complaints, road blockades, etc. during a guest's stay. Please reach out to a team member with any questions you may have!
Community Amenities
Hailed for its eco-friendly design and environmental stewardship, Watersound effortlessly blends top-notch amenities with the breathtaking natural environment that has made 30A a world-class destination.
