72 S Founders, designed by the renowned architect Geoff Chick, is a spectacular beachside retreat located within the gates of the exclusive WaterSound Beach community.

The primary suite on the main living level is an inviting retreat with private access to the screened-in outdoor living area.

WaterSound Beach is the premier gated Gulf front community on Scenic HWY 30A, offering nearly 1 mile of unspoiled private beach. Picturesque wooden boardwalks meander throughout the community, all leading past puttering parks, ponds and streams and ultimately to the white sand beaches the area is known for. The private beach club is next door, along with numerous restaurants. 72 S Founders is tucked away, privately behind the gates of WaterSound Beach, but is conveniently close to all the restaurants and shopping the 30A area offers.
