AREA ATTRACTIONS:  

“The Big Chill” is the community center for Prominence and is a quick 10 minute bike ride your home or 1.6 mile drive.  The Big Chill offers something for folks of all ages and tastes, from tacos and tequila, to wings, burgers and shakes, a stop here is quick, tasty and convenient, and comes with a side of entertainment at the outdoor amphitheater. It's a great place to catch a concert, sporting event, or a movie on the lawn.  

Seaside is a short drive away and is most widely known for being featured in the Truman Show with Jim Carrey. Its incredible architecture has helped to make it famous but also its faithful replication of the kind of seaside town that used to be common up and down the coast. Seaside has its own Farmer's Market, post office, Repertory Theater and neighborhood school. It boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine and the incredible architecture that makes Seaside famous. There are activities for everyone: kayak rentals, bike rentals, paragliding, fishing, golfing, hiking, swimming, tennis -- you'll find it all right here.

The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2024
This home was great and easily accommodated our group of friends/families for spring break. The property was close to Bruno's pizza, which was convenient for any last minute meals when needed. The golf cart and bikes that were provided were very helpful when carting guests to the beach, pool, or playground. Any issues we experienced during our stay were handled quickly by maintenance. We did learn that WaterSound only allows 3 vehicle passes for this property, and any additional vehicles must be stowed in overflow parking outside the WaterSound entrance. We also learned that the passes included with this home only allow certain pool and cart path access. This wasn't an issue, just something we discovered when attempting to visit certain areas of the WaterSound community. Overall it was a great stay and we'd definitely consider renting again. We love the privacy, safety and fewer crowds while staying in WaterSound. Wonderful community.

Overall great stay in a wonderful house/location. A few issues made this a 3.5-4.0 star stay. Check In process was not “as advertised” and Watersound Security was frustrating to deal with — the emailed QR code didn’t work 3 of 5 days. 2nd floor (main sleeping area) A/C unit was inop on arrival. Pool heating was intermittent and only worked <2 of 5 days — had to make several calls to restore pool heating. Property thermostats restricted to 72 degrees — was not mentioned in description. Overall the property seems tired. It needs a refresh (LR shag rug, bed linen, pressure washing, [leaking] coffee maker, obnoxious intermittent door locks, etc.). It wouldn’t take much to avoid guest frustration with having to “adult” during what is supposed to be a turnkey vacation. RealJoy [property management] was very easy to work with via phone and text—just really wish I didn’t have to be constantly engaged with them to resolve issues.

6 / 10Average·Oct 2020
Great house for large families with lots of age ranges. Great therapy/plunge pool & spa. Great neighborhood with nice amenities. However, we had multiple maintenance issues that continually interrupted our stay requiring maintenance people to be in and out of the house. It also requires constant communication with the property manager which, although helpful when contacted, often required a lengthy hold before getting anyone. Made for a frustrating week...
