AREA ATTRACTIONS: 

Greenway station is 30A's newest destination for gathering, shopping, and dining in Seagrove Beach. Greenway Station features known retailers Wild Olives Tapas and Wine Bar, Pecan Jack's Ice Cream, Coast Hippie and YOLO Board + Bike, plus introduces Local Cantina Mexican Restaurant, Souper Jenny Coffee Roasters, Canopy Road Café, and more.

“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!

"Great Neighborhood - We had to leave early due to Hurricane Helene, but our stay was overall very good. The hurricane is of no fault to the rental property. The property manager was also very polite and kind as we helped move patio furniture into the home to prepare. We love this neighborhood! The community pool is fantastic for all ages, and the boardwalk takes you out to a great beach near Deer Lake State Park. There are no crowds at this location as there are no high rises nearby. The house is decorated to perfection. There were bikes available, beach chairs, cleaning supplies, and a well-stocked kitchen. The beds were also very clean and comfortable. There was only one thing that bothered me. There was black mold growing on the shower downstairs. It was on the ceiling and starting to grow on the walls. My daughter and I are sick now with a sinus infection. We are the only two people in our family that took a shower in this bathroom. I would definitely return to this house if the mold is taken care of. "

"The house is so nice and clean and the place is very quiet and beautiful. We loved that each room has its own bathroom. Me and my family enjoyed the space and the view from the back yard and its very safe neighborhood. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good house to stay. I know it’s a little bit too far from the beach but we did enjoy the walking. My only concerns is we did not have enough toilet papers and paper towels. But overall it’s the best place for families that’s going out for vacation looking for a home that will makes you feel like it’s your own home. Thank you RealJoy. 😊"
