Should we join WaterSound Beach Club??

[CampCreekLou]

The reason Bud & Alley's is crowded is because it's the only place on the beach to watch the sunset and get served a drink. It's too bad, with Seaside leading the way, more developments didn't follow their example.

My point is that it is too bad that St. Joe is locking out the surrounding community, rather than inviting it in. They are doing it with their Beach Club, and now have done it with their Golf Club. It seems to go against the grain of what was 30-A.

I so agree with you. I don't even like having gated communities - but can understand the parking problems near the beach and the reason behind them. We need more places to watch the sunset on the beach open to all. Isn't it fun to talk to someone new at these places - not just your neighbors.

Thank you for you imput.

oh boy, been there done that - reminds me a lot of the 'lake club' up here - we got hit up to join their little party once we moved here

eventually it became so truly exclusive that there were only 3 old drunk farts in there and that's about it, and absolutely nobody there during the off season - they simply closed the doors to keep out the off season riff-raff!

the old farts ruled the place and if you didn't cow-tow to the head old fart you were given no service and slowly pushed out after a good 'talking to'

finally the doors were shut since they couldn't afford any staff on the 'pittance' they were getting from the dues, which went up 15 times as the buy-in money went bye-bye for construction cost over-runs, insurance increases, maintenance problems and burglary losses

and nobody got their refund back as they went bankrupt first

scary similarity!

This is the 800-pound gorilla sitting at the barstool in the corner of this beach club.

Wow :shock:


You all have some pretty harsh words for the beach club. We have been using every weekend and have not seen that 800 lb old fart yet. The manager told us the other day that dinner is now being served on Fri and Sat. We went on Sat and it was fabulos. Hope you all change your minds like I did. We are going to join before 4th of July so we can use going forward.

See you there

I am an owner at WC and was "offered" a membership at the Camp Creek Golf Club for I think $30,000 and dues of $475, which included a membership at the WS Beach Club. Sounds like a deal to me after reading what they are charging WS owners.

The fine print says that you have use of the WS Beach Club only while the golf course club house is being built. Once it's built, you can no longer use the WS Beach Club.

I just have to butt in here and say this. I know I will get slammed for it, but think before you slam me...it is after all my humble opinion. Now, this is coming from someone who, unless a miracle happens one day, will never be able to afford to live on 30-A, so money is an issue for me. Perhaps it is not for some of you that are lucky enough to live/have a place on 30-A. There was a comment made that said "there is no where else to watch the sunset and be served a drink, except B & A's". Well, for me there is. It is sitting on the beach with my toe's in the sand sipping on a drink that I made, or a beer that I bought, and by the way, you can buy a six pack for about what they charge you for one, and a whole bottle of your drink of choice for what they charge you for one or two at some of the establishments on 30-A. So, I would much rather make my own drink or bring my own beer to the beach and watch the sunset. Now, having said that, I do enjoy going to B&A's for our "Girls day out" when I am at the beach, but I would much rather be "on" the beach at sunset! Ok, I am done.
