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.

Great stay that exceeded expectations

We were very impressed with the cleanliness and organization of the property. It was perfect for our family of 3 (plus 2 dogs). There don’t appear to be many/any grocery items left between guests, so be sure to bring kitchen items like salt/pepper, etc. We would definitely stay here again!

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.

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!

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.

Good Vibes

Unit was spotless...Loved the Colorful art throughout. Beds and Couch were comfy...Well Stocked Kitchen...Great neighborhood feel with lots of kids and bicycling. The Garage was like a Alvin's Beach Store...Well Stocked. Would return. Check in Technology was a little cumbersome with no personal contact...all done thru website and via text.

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.

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.

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.
