Set within the gated Bridges section of WaterSound Beach, quietly bordering Camp Creek Lake and a short walk from a private mile of Gulf shoreline, 19 Creek Bridge Way is built for the way coastal living should actually feel. Morning coffee on the porch. An afternoon on the lake. A sunset walk on the beach.

Two distinct living areas - one up and one downstairs give families room to spread out. Three bedrooms with private baths anchor the main residence. A separate carriage house above the garage adds a fourth bedroom suite with full bath and kitchenette, ideal for in-laws, teenagers, and longer stays for guests.

Offered fully furnished and positioned for primary, second home, or rental use, this is one of the more compelling entry points into Bridges available today.
