Assuming everything gets built our as you say--did you forget about all the people in the 1400 planned homes in Watersound North that will also have access to the beach at Watersound? It won't be as deserted as you think once all those homes are built out. In addition, have you thought about how all those folks from Watersound will get to the beach at Watersound Beach? In the end, Watersound will be just as crowded as any of the other planned developments along 30A. If it was only the 400 or so homes in Watersound that get access to the beach, then it would be pretty quiet. Not with all those other folks from Watersound needing beach access, parking, etc.
I love Watersound Beach. However, I agree that someday it may end up being a VERY crowded place in the summer months.
I believe that in time Paradise by the Sea will be discovered as one of the few truly low density beaches on 30-A. There's no public beach access, it will be a gated community, no build out restrictions, deep lots with average lot frontage of 60'-70' and only 51 lots for 1700' of beach. Also, at this point, only 47 homes can be built in this development since a couple of the homes utilize multiple lots. At least one other home is planned to do the same. Located within walking distance of Rosemary Beach, Seacrest Beach and Alys Beach you have the best of both worlds. Even so, the two most recent sales of tier 1 lots with incredible wide open gulf views both sold at under $1,000,000 this year. Compare that to south of 30A prices in Rosemary or Alys. I think it's a bargain, especially compared to other places we've evaluated on both coasts and the gulf.
