Sugar Beach is a South Walton neighborhood that resembles a tropical paradise, featuring lush landscaping throughout the community. All homes are just a short walk from a beautiful lagoon-shaped pool. The pool area is accessed through a gated, covered pergola, offering an elegant entrance with restroom facilities and showers for convenience. The sun-soaked pool patio is surrounded by tropical palm trees, providing a relaxing atmosphere for lounging. In addition to the community pool, the stunning crystalline white beach is just a short distance away. A public access point on Scenic 30A leads you to the shimmering shoreline and the emerald-toned waters of the Gulf, offering a perfect coastal retreat.

AREA ATTRACTIONS:
“The Big Chill” is the community center for Prominence and is a quick 10-minute bike ride from your home or a 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. It's incredible architecture has helped to make it famous and it's a faithful replication of the kind of seaside town that used to be common up and down the coast. Seaside has a 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!

Great family vacation
We had a great stay at this house. Plenty of space for our family and friends with kids. Great neighborhood and close walk to the beach access, pool just two houses down. Will definitely stay here again on next vacation!- Posted: 4/5/2025

Throughout our 2.5 month stay, RealJoy has always been responsive and friendly. On two occasions, they were able to quickly send maintenance personnel within a couple of hours of an issue which is amazing. The house is extremely walkable to the beach. Each of the rooms were equipped with TVs. The kitchen had great counter space and more supplies than you would normally see in a short term rental. The backyard space is plenty for our older 3 kids with a good screened-in patio to enjoy the peaceful surrounding. The street itself is very safe despite some construction due to new homes being built. The bikes were a great addition as we could use it to bike to Seaside or the nature trails around the area. The downside that we’ve experienced was that there was not enough hot water for everyone to take a bath/shower at the same time, so we had to space out times for that. Overall, it was a pleasant stay for our family of 7.- Posted: 3/1/2025
