Watersound Beach Club

[JeanLafitte]

I thought I'd figured out Shelly's identity on my third trip to SoWal. I met with a banker and financial adviser there Friday, and the guy was so dead certain I shouldn't buy right away that I almost asked him what is Florida's state flower?

Come on Shelly...you aren't really that much of a snob. The membership fee was $3000 and the monthly dues are $150. At those rates I became a member and would also consider myself part of the great "unwashed " and damn proud of it. We are not talking Augusta National snooty.
Just tried to make a suggestion that the restaurant and bar be opened to all after 6pm. I am possitive most of the members feel the way I do. It would be a shame if the place wasn't enjoyed. The two times I was there it was practically empty. When the season starts renters will be able to use it and the bar and restaurant should do well but I am sure it will never get fully used. As far as the restaurant is concerned, members and renters at WaterSound would get first preference for reservations. The restaurant and bar are special places because of the awesome views.....why shouldn't outsiders enjoy if the members do not object ??

I wholeheartedly agree with your take on this - by all accounts the WS Beach Club is a beautiful amenity - and it would be great to allow others to enjoy it as long as fist priority is always given to residents and renters first. It would help offset opertaing costs and would also make it more enjoable for those people who actually care about atmosphere and ambiance when they go out (meaning not a 'dead' space!).
I for one would LOVE to go for dinner there and spend hard earned $$ every now and then to eat at a place with such gorgeous views... except I do not own in WS so need to wait for an invitation or hope that it is 'opened' up to the geneal public!!
Thanks

Opening it to the public would also assist in turning over the food inventory, keeping fresh foods on the menu. You really don't want to eat the Sunday buffet at a restaurant which doesn't serve many people throughout the week. ;-)

I was thinking about the problems they would face retaining a "trained" waitstaff. Good waiters are becoming a scarce commodity in the area stretching from Destin to PCB--they'll go where the tips are many and steady.

CP,

Dinner is served!! Just contact Goofer and tell him you are me. Be sure to wear a "Plastic Nose and Glasses" disguise for Smilin Joe's photo op at the bar before dinner and to throw my stalker (Bobby J.) off the trail.
Bon Appetit!

Come on Shelly. It's the beach. Shouldn't you wear something more appropriate than plastic Nose and glasses?

You are my favorite stalker Bobby J!!


I spent all of last week using the Watersound Beach club and loved it! What a view, what a place! It is well worth the money. The food was excellent and most days it was very busy for lunch. PM me and I will take anyone there for a sunset cocktail, I would love to show anyone just how beautiful it is.

Goofer, they are closing at 7:00 during the week only... but will remain open later during the week also as season gets busier. The restaurant is open later for dinner only on Friday and Saturday until then. We took some friends to dinner Saturday night and it was excellent. There were several people there that night. However....the pool was closed early due to a baby mishap!:shock: EWWWWW!

I loved hearing a lady in the next set of lounge chairs on her cell phone going on and on and on and on about Watersound being so beautiful and what a grayt deal it was!!! They were talking about how cheap it was to stay there!! Guess it is all relative to what you are used to. She stated they would not vacation anywhere else.....that $4,500.00 was very cheap for a weeks vacation rental, they were staying in The Crossing set of condo's.
