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!

Fun Fall Getaway
We loved our stay in Watersound West. This house was the perfect size for our family of four and the bikes were a great perk. We rode them every day to the beach, pool and down to Seaside. We had one small maintenance issue and the property management addressed it quickly. We look forward to our next trip back!

Beautiful and very clean house
We loved the house esp the beautiful screened in porch. The neighborhood is so nice and quiet. We went in August and the beach was not crowded at all. Short bike ride to pool and boardwalk. Also loved that they had bikes for us to use. Thank you!!

Wonderful beach getaway
This is a beautiful beach home in a beautiful community. Pros: home is nice and very accommodating for kids and families. The bikes were a nice touch, the neighborhood pool was fantastic, the location near the Hub and rentals was great, and the beach was very private and an easy bike ride away. Cons: if you have very small children, this may not be the best. the beach is a bike ride away, then a nice walk down a boardwalk. It was easy for us as we have 10-11-12 year olds. The neighborhood does NOT allow rented golf carts and it was not advertised, however they were not strict with the rules as long as we didn't abuse it. The cleaning company doesn't do a GREAT job, but it was ok.

Nice House
The house was nice and we like the neighborhood. Having the bikes was great as we did not have to bring or rent any. The only negative comment I have is this place is very nice, but comforters/blankets were Bed pads/liners?? very odd.

Wonderful visit to Watersound West Beach
This home was everything that we were hoping for during our one week stay. There were a couple of minor issues that the property management addressed really quickly. The 4 included bikes were a nice touch. Our child's favorite part of this community is the pool and I love riding bikes around the community without fear of being hit. We hope to return as soon as we can. Thank you!

Great location
Great experience. Really nice relaxing property. Only reason for 4 stars is the lack of some essential items (dishwasher detergent, dish soap) and convoluted check-in paperwork, not conducted through VRBO. Check your spam folders! Overall, would return.
