It is located near the famous State Road 30A, a picturesque stretch of highway in the Florida Panhandle between Panama City Beach and Destin.

If you have inquired about Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach, you will quickly find that the developers have decided not to reinvent the wheel here at Watersound.

Many of the amenities, community features, and floor plans are similar or exactly the same as those you’ll find at Latitude Margaritaville Daytona.

Before we begin, I have partnered with a real estate agent who has helped several of my readers become residents of Latitude Margaritaville to provide them with the most up-to-date information on Latitude Margaritaville Watersound.
