Great Location and beautiful home
The home was perfect for our family of 6. It was clean, beautifully decorated and had everything we need conveniently there. It is in a fantastic location with an easy walk to great food and shopping, and a short golf cart ride to the beach. We will definitely be back!

It was perfect for our family and a great location.
It was amazing and is so functional. The only thing I would suggest is having some staple items in the kitchen like salt and pepper etc so guests don’t have to buy those small items. But would highly recommend!!!

Nicely furnished, Very comfortable
This place literally has everything you need to enjoy the neighborhood and the nearby beach. Because it was equipped with beach towels, beach toys, beach chairs, and more we didn't have to bring anything with us. It's also very nicely furnished with comfortable beds and sofas. We felt very relaxed our entire stay, and I appreciated the high tech appliances, TVs in every room, and good internet. The owners left no stone unturned when it comes to ammenities.
While I'm sure there were beaches we could have driven to in our car, the closest one we could get to in the golf cart was still too difficult to access with small children. The boardwalk from where you park your cart to the beach is really really long. My toddler had to take breaks, and that's no fun when you're also trying to cart a bunch of stuff. I still give this property 5 stars though, because poor beach access is no fault of the owners. You should just know what you're getting into before you book a place in this particular neighborhood. On the other hand my toddler loved being at the Hub and at the pool every day, and both of these are a short walk away.
We had a bit of difficulty upon arrival when the door code provided to us didn't work and we couldn't get in touch with the owners. It was a tough situation considering I was stuck outside in the rain with two small children. I spent lots of time on the phone with VRBO and even started searching for new places to stay. Fortunately, In the nick of time I heard back. Turns out there was an email sent with updated info, and for some reason I never got it. After this little snafu, the owners were very responsive to all of our needs. I wish we had gotten a discount or something for the trouble we went through that first night, but I do believe they felt bad. And there's no real way to know who's fault a bounced email is.
In summary, I'll say the place is great. If you know you want to be in Prominence this is likely the very best property. Just make sure you get the email before you get there!
