Townhome in Niceville, Florida

Welcome to 'Swaying Palms', your dreamy coastal escape tucked in the vibrant Prominence community along scenic 30A! Perfectly positioned just across the street from The Big Chill, you’ll be steps away from live music, delicious dining, boutique shopping, and entertainment the whole family can enjoy.

This stylish and spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath beach retreat complete with a fun and functional bunk room is thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and connection. The bunk room is perfect for kids or extra guests, making this home an ideal choice for families or group getaways. With plenty of room to spread out and unwind, everyone can find their own space to relax after a day in the sun.

Spend your days soaking up the Florida sunshine at one of Prominence’s two resort-style pools, or take advantage of the included 6-seater golf cart and four adult bikes to explore the area with ease. Cruise over to one of four nearby beach access points and enjoy sugar-white sands and emerald waters, all just minutes away.

Inside, you’ll find a bright, open-concept living space filled with natural light and coastal-chic décor. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals at home, while the spacious living and dining areas are perfect for gathering, playing games, or enjoying a cozy night in.

NEARBY BEACH ACCESS
-Deer Lake State Park (0.6 miles west of Prominence) is the nearest beach access. This park has great amenities including: restrooms, parking for golf carts/bikes/cars, and a beautiful walk along a boardwalk that winds through the natural dunes leading to the beach. The State Park charges a “Day Use Fee” of $3/car or $2/bikes or pedestrians for access and parking. Alcohol is not allowed as it is a State Park. It is a bit of a longer walk from parking area to the beach, but it’s a beautiful scenic walk on the long boardwalk with white sand dunes. The State Park Beach is less crowded than any public beach access points.

• Walton Dunes Beach Access (1.5 miles West of Prominence) has a small parking lot, but no bathrooms, and is located just west of the Deer Lake State Park boundary. This access has no steps-just walk straight onto the beach. One of our personal favorites!

-Gulf Lakes Estates is a South Walton County beach access (1 mile east of Prominence). Small access that can be easily missed. Parking not available but easy bike ride to the beach.

-Santa Clara is a public beach access located at Bramble Grove Place (about 3.5 miles). This access provides a lifeguard, parking and bathrooms as well as ADA access to the beach.

THE BIG CHILL (FORMERLY "THE HUB")
The community’s town center, called “The Big Chill,” includes restaurants, shops, and an amphitheater. The amphitheater includes a covered event pavilion and is a great place to catch a concert, sporting event, or a movie on the lawn. This location is perfect for family outings! Be sure to catch the farmer's market here on Thursdays!

HOTSPOTS NEARBY
The location of Prominence is perfectly placed right in the middle of 30a. Popular spots are a short drive away: Seaside, Watercolor, & Seagrove Beach to the west; Alys Beach, Seacrest, and Rosemary Beach to the east.

Seaside is a short drive away and is most widely known for being featured in the Truman Show with Jim Carrey. It boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine and the incredible architecture. Seaside has its own Farmer's Market, post office, Repertory Theater and neighborhood school.

The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Grouper Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 970 feet out from the Inlet Beach access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Grouper Reef is at a depth of 12-21 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!
