West Beach
Founded in 2014
West Beach (also known as Watersound West Beach or WaterSound West Beach) is a gated, exclusive coastal community along Scenic Highway 30A in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, positioned south of 30A and directly across from landmarks like Old Florida Fish House in the Seagrove/Seaside vicinity. This intimate enclave features fewer than 200 homesites with elegant single-family residences inspired by classic maritime and seaside architecture—characterized by natural wood shingles, deep front porches, open floor plans, bright living spaces, bunk rooms, spa-like baths, and thoughtful details for comfortable, welcoming luxury living. Residents enjoy private beach access via boardwalks, a zero-entry community pool, putting green, crafted trails, parks, and proximity to Deer Lake State Park, Gulf views, and the vibrant 30A corridor with dining, shopping, and beaches—creating a secluded yet amenity-rich retreat ideal for families or beach enthusiasts.
As a completed Huff Homes project (with Huff as one of the primary original builders alongside others like Boswell and Regal Stephens), West Beach highlights the signature quality craftsmanship, durable construction, and thoughtful design that Huff Development has delivered across Northwest Florida for over 30 years. Huff Homes contributed high-standard builds to many homes here, featuring timeless coastal appeal, premium finishes, functional layouts (often 3-5 bedrooms with multiple baths), and lasting value in this prestigious, small-town-feel community bordered by natural preserves and the Gulf.
The neighborhood was primarily developed and started in the early 2010s, with construction beginning around 2012 (real estate reports from that time note Huff Homes and partners actively building homes in classic maritime style, with rapid progress and homes pending sales by mid-2012). This timeline aligns with Huff's involvement in premium 30A-area developments during that era, establishing West Beach as a mature, fully realized gated enclave with exceptional beach integration and strong appeal along the Emerald Coast.
