Fantastic vacation home in a very nice sought and after location. Extremely organized and clean property. The owners truly thought of everything! The pet restrooms were very accessible and accommodating. The grounds and pool are both beautiful! Can’t wait until next year…..or sooner!

Great place

This was a great place close to the beach. Our family rented a golf cart so it made getting to the public beach access easier but it wasn’t too bad of a hike. The neighborhood had a great vacation vibe. The north side pool gets really busy but the rental itself was amazing.

The Perfect Getaway, Per Usual

My husband and I stayed here last year and we felt silly booking such a spacious home for just the two of us. This year, we returned to this homey neighborhood and brought friends with us. This place is perfect for kids & pets and literally feels like our home at the beach. Everything is fully equipped and clean and we will most likely be returning every year.

BEST STAY ON 30A

I knew after reading the prior reviews on "Cake By the Ocean" I knew this property would not disappoint. To see it in person and my families reaction was priceless. This home is a dream for any mom or dad who runs a tight ship with their family and loves an organized house. This house had every accommodation I could think of. A true dream when you are on vacation. This home is so organized, clean and beautiful, I would definitely plan another stay here. The bikes in the garage was a bonus. We felt bikes were more needed than a golf cart. I was so glad this property was available for our last minute booking for Spring Break. It truly was a blessing. We will definitely be back.

Perfect place!

This was a beautiful property in a great location. Absolutely immaculate and the kitchen was well stocked. This was our first visit to 30A and the beach access points were unclear when we were exploring online but the owner had a detailed notebook filled with everything you needed to know about the area. And they had everything you could possibly need to go to the beach. We loved it so much we actually looked at some other homes in the property that were for sale! We will definitely be going back next year.

Lovely Home

We were very pleased with “Cake by the Ocean.” Beautifully decorated home with well stocked kitchen. We had two teenaged boys (15 y.o.) that loved having The Big Chill (The Hub) in the community. Relaxing atmosphere without being overly crowded. We will return!

Truly Cake by the Ocean

I have never been so in love with a property I was ready to move right in! My husband and toddler stayed for 4 nights. It was immaculately clean, bright, organized and stocked beyond my wildest dreams (minus groceries and beach towels). All of the labeling (light switches, cabinets, drawers with pictures) was super helpful. It actually inspired me to re-organize my own home! Just enough toiletries, laundry and dishwashing detergent provided. Property was conveniently located to The Hub which had several quick lunch and dinner options. Publix, CVS, beach access, shops and restaurants were all a very short drive too. We are looking forward to booking a return trip in the future :)

A slice of heaven

Our family stayed at Cake by the Ocean in Prominence last week and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The neighborhood was great for our girls to bike around, for us to walk our puppy, and close to shops and restaurants across the street at the Hub. The house was beautifully decorated and well maintained. We were so impressed at how clean & organized it was. The short ride to the beach was not bad at all and we enjoyed having access to the pool. It was centrally located so very easy to get to Seaside, Rosemary and Aly’s Beach from there. We highly recommend!

Easy and Relaxing

Great property within Prominence at Watersound. We often travel with our pet and this complex makes it easy. We’ve stayed in Prominence several times in the off season. 44C was comfortable, newish, and modern. Comfortable mattresses and pillows. Kitchen was more than adequate. Perfect for couples or small families. The Hub across the street was convenient for drinks and lunches. This was a late January business trip, so we were not accessing the beach.

Can’t go wrong in Prominence

We stayed in this exact model the year before. The furniture was similar but the quality was not the same. The washer sounds like it’s not going to last much longer and my Mother in Law even mentioned it and she is not one to say anything. We only used the main TV and it didn’t have any connection issues! The WiFi was also consistent for our teens. We found items in the home upon arrival. I texted the number provided and never received a response. We never received a response to any text sent. Maybe they are “receive” only. We didn’t end up using the provided bikes. One looked to belong to one of the Bike rental companies and didn’t have the same lock/labeling. The beach gear was impressive and nice to not have to bring with us! It was all in working condition. There were no sheets available for the pull out couch. Bring Coffee Filters and kitchen trash bags. Otherwise we did not lack for anything. We are looking to return to 30A in July. I would consider this property again. We enjoyed the property and the home. The Pool was well run with the new rules!

This was a lovely condo in a newer nice neighborhood. Location was great and easily accessible to many places. The condo was nicely stocked with everything one could need in the kitchen. The only disappointing factor was that the pool was not heated.

Perfect long weekend getaway

We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed your townhome. It was immaculate, bright and clean. The 2nd bedroom was a bit tight with 2 full size beds (there was no nightstand) but it was fine for our 2 boys. This is not a beachfront unit and the closest beach access is just under a mile away but if you have bikes or a golf cart it's very easy to get to. The pool area is also very nice but just know that it is no heated so it could be a bit chilly. We are looking forward to our next trip to the 30A area!

Great Pet Friendly Community, not so close to beach access

Overall we enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very clean and comfortable and everyone staying around us was friendly. The check in/check out process was simple and fast. The pool area is nice. A few things to consider when booking: This being one of the newer developments in the area, there was a lot of noise in the early morning due to the ongoing construction in the next building over. It didn't bother us too much as it helped us wake up early and begin our day but if you are looking to sleep in and rest this might be an issue. The nearest beach access is about a mile and half away. If you don't mind the walk or bicycle ride there it shouldn't be a problem. They do offer free golf cart rides to the beach access but you have to arrange pick ups at least 30 minutes ahead of time and it may be longer than that depending on how busy they are. We have stayed in this area before and have always had a beach access very close by. We found this to be inconvenient specially if you decide to go to the beach in the middle of the day when the heat is at its highest and carrying all your beach stuff or if you have small kids. Also, note that even though the community is dog friendly, dogs are not allowed on the beach without a permit in this county. If you have your dogs with you, you'll have to get a permit ahead of time to be able to take them to the beach. You have to apply for it on the county website and provide a copy of their vaccination records. This is something that can be taken care of ahead of your vacation but call ahead to make sure it's possible to get it before your arrival. We ended up going to a doggy beach that's about a 15 minute drive away. Its right across Pier Park. Its a nice beach area where dogs are allowed without a permit but its not a very large area and it can get crowded during peak hours.

Nice condo Santa Rosa Beach

Nice, new clean condo in a family and very dog friendly community. Walk across the street to a number of small restaurants with different kinds of food. My only complaint about our particular condo is, we didnt want to eat out every night and there were no condiments, spices or oils. Maybe its matter of insurance and liability but it made it a bit difficult cook at home.
