If you like a little Nantucket vibe in your Florida vacation, this gated community of distinct neighborhoods is for you. From quaint cottages to expansive beach homes, every building in WaterSound Beach is built to showcase and preserve the natural environment of this 250-acre property — and the protected wilderness beyond. Transportation is mostly by foot or bike on the miles of boardwalk paths and bridges that snake through the community. It’s a well-planned community that stretches back from a mile of pristine white-dune beaches, with a town center housing restaurants and upscale retail, and grocery and other necessities only a few miles away. Many residents are members of the WaterSound Beach Club (which offers private beach access, three restaurants for dining and drinks, and a 7,000-square-foot pool) or one of several world-class destination golf clubs nearby.
