Latitude Margaritaville Watersound is being developed in a dynamic partnership between The St. Joe Company (NYSE: JOE) (“St. Joe”) and master developer Minto Communities USA (“Minto”), under licensing from global lifestyle brand Margaritaville Holdings.

Latitude Margaritaville Watersound is located on Northwest Florida’s Emerald Coast near Panama City Beach and the Scenic Highway 30A corridor. It is the third of the award-winning Latitude Margaritaville communities and the first to be developed in partnership with The St. Joe Company. The first Latitude Margaritaville communities by Minto and Margaritaville are located in Daytona Beach, Florida and near Hilton Head, South Carolina. Additional Latitude Margaritaville communities are being planned for Texas and other popular destinations.

With a full range of award-winning resort style amenities, Latitude Margaritaville communities offer a laid-back lifestyle of fun, food, music and escapism that has captured the imagination of today’s vibrant 55 and better home buyers. Latitude Margaritaville Watersound Town Square amenities include a terraced amphitheater, thatched roof bandshell with full-size concert stage for the community’s robust program of live music, a jumbo screen for live streaming, and recessed dance floor that provides a little cushion and spring for dancers. A two-story Latitude Bar & Chill restaurant and rooftop Overlook Bar provide a menu of Margaritaville inspired food and beverage concoctions and stunning, panoramic views of the Intracoastal Waterway. A massive lagoon-style Paradise Pool has a beach-like gradual entry and its own Tiki Island.

Existing amenities also include a state-of-the-art Fins Up! Fitness Center with indoor lap pool and spa, workout equipment, spin room, fitness classes and wellness programming. There also is a Telegraph Business Center with individual work stations and a board room. In addition to a games lawn with bocce, cornhole, billiards tables, and a putting green, the tennis and pickleball courts have lighting for night play. Residents also can explore the Intracoastal Waterway by kayak from the Port of Indecision kayak launch, and canine residents can get their play on at the Barkaritaville Dog Park.

Latitude Margaritaville Watersound offers four distinct home collections that include the Conch Cottage Collection, Caribbean Villas Collection, and Beach and Island Collections of single-family homes. Home designs capture the “no worries” tropical vibe that defines Latitude Margaritaville. Floor plans range from 1,210 to 2,568 square feet under air with pricing from the $300s. Thirteen colorful island-styled model homes are open daily for viewing.

A new Vista Collection of just 24 exclusive two-story single-family homes along the Intracoastal Waterway is now available. These homes feature a casual-luxe island style with a spacious second level that takes full advantage of their spectacular location overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway. All include an elevator, three bedrooms, covered balcony, two-car garage, golf cart garage and upgraded standard features.
