Watersound Fountains is an independent living community owned by The St. Joe’s Company and managed by Watermark Retirement Communities
Watersound Fountains, a 148-apartment resort-style independent living community located in Inlet Beach, Fla. has opened its doors to residents. The community, which was developed through a joint venture with The St. Joe’s Company, Watermark Retirement Communities and BRW Origins, is the first free-standing independent living community in Watersound.
“We are so excited to welcome residents to our brand new community,” said Melissa Adams, Executive Director of Watersound Foutains. “For many residents, this marks the next phase of retirement, where they can relax and rediscover their passions – or find new ones. Our proximity to Watersound Origins also means mom and dad can be close to family while maintaining their independence and living a meaningful and fulfilling life.”
Watersound Fountains is located near the Watersound Origins community, less than a mile east of the famed Scenic Highway 30A. Amenities include a swimming pool, fitness studio, salon and spa, wellness center, indoor golf simulator, and outdoor putting green. The community boasts four signature restaurants, which serve fare ranging from steaks and wine to casual grab-and-go meals, all prepared in-house daily.
Watersound Fountains is managed by Watermark Retirement Communities, a top-10 senior housing provider in the nation. Unique to Watermark is the 360Well program, which offers opportunities for health, education, and exploration with a focus on individual interests and objectives. Residents can also enjoy enriching classes through Watermark’s award-winning Watermark University or exciting daytrips organized through the Extraordinary Outings program.
“With Watermark, there is always something new to discover,” said Adams. “On any given day, residents can attend a painting class or wine tasting, or take a trip to the beach with their neighbors. Our programs and events are also tailored to their unique interests, which creates an environment where each individual can thrive.”
In addition to the full calendar of community events, Watersound Fountains offers residents a 24-hour concierge to assist with reservations to local restaurants, theaters, galleries, and concerts. Concierge-style healthcare, including onsite medical clinics and in-home healthcare services, is also available through a partnership with Curana Health.
Over the next several weeks, the first 20 residents will move into the community, including Gerry Mayes, who has vacationed in the Walton County area for years. Mayes’ family lives in the area and she moved from Oklahoma to be near them full-time.
“I love being near my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and the amenities here at the community are wonderful,” said Mayes. “The staff is also so helpful and kind and I’ve loved meeting new people.”
Watersound Fountains is now open and taking reservations. Floor plans range from studio- to two-bedroom apartments. For more information, visit https://watersound.watermarkcommunities.com.
