2 beds | 3 baths | 1464 sqft
Property Description273 Salt Box Lane is currently the lowest-priced home available in Watersound Beach by more than $450,000, offering an exceptional entry point into one of 30A's most coveted guard-gated, gulf-front communities. Located south of Scenic Highway 30A, this fully-furnished, two-bedroom, three-bath coastal cottage combines timeless Watersound architecture with a rare one-car garage, intriguing expansion potential, and an exceptional location just steps from the private gate to the Watersound Beach Club. Inside, soaring ceilings and abundant natural light give the cottage an airy feel, while the open living, dining, and kitchen areas create an inviting gathering space for family and friends. The beds and bath configuration is comfortable as-is, but what makes this property particularly compelling is its potential to evolve with a future owner's needs. Subject to Watersound Beach ARC approval and all applicable requirements, several opportunities exist to create an additional bedroom: adding a carriage house above the existing garage, enclosing the rear deck, or using the home's dramatic ceiling height to create additional second-floor living space. For a buyer who loves the location and community but ultimately wants a third bedroom, these possibilities add another dimension to the property's long-term value. The one-car garage is a coveted and uncommon feature among the cottages, offering valuable space for a vehicle, golf cart, bicycles, paddleboards, beach gear, or owner storage.
Another standout is its proximity to the private gate, providing convenient access to the Watersound Beach Club for owners who choose to obtain a separate club membership. For club members, this location makes the club exceptionally convenient while retaining the privacy and charm of life in Watersound Beach.
The community's two designated golf cart boardwalks give golf cart access directly to the private beach.
Offering one of the most extraordinary coastal settings along Scenic Highway 30A, life unfolds behind the guard-gated entrance where owners and guests enjoy more than a mile of pristine shoreline, private deeded beach access, scenic boardwalks winding through preserved coastal dunes, community pools, parks, and miles of walking and biking paths. The community's thoughtful design and natural beauty create a peaceful sense of privacy increasingly difficult to find along 30A.
Whether enjoyed immediately as a personal beach retreat, second home, or vacation rental, or reimagined over time to add living space, this cottage offers a rare combination of price, location, flexibility, and amenities - creating a compelling opportunity to own in one of 30A's premier beachfront communities.
