It means so much to have you back again and again! We’re happy the location and setup work so well for your family and appreciate your kind words. Can’t wait to welcome you back for another stay!
My daughter and I spent the week at this property and it was amazing. Ernie (property owner) went over and beyond preparing us for the arrival and even checked on us the first day to be sure we had what we needed. We had everything we needed. Will definitely stay again in the future!
Ernie was wonderful to work with and the rental was super clean! We needed a last minute rental within a few days of when I booked it, and Ernie answered all of my questions, communicated promptly, allowed early check-in, and texted regularly to check in. Would definitely stay again and the location was perfect for the Big Chill, pools, etc.

Y’all are the best. Thanks so much for the kind and thoughtful review.
This place was amazing and had the perfect space for our family! Couldn’t ask for better location right across from the Big Chill. The scooters and bikes were an added bonus. We used them daily on the path along 30A. Highly recommend renting this spot.

My wife and I came here for a little getaway anniversary weekend. Great communication, clean home, awesome extras (bikes and scooters), nice pool, and beautiful area. Two thumbs up!
Wonderful & Cozy Townhome! Exceptionally clean, great communication with host Ernie, and perfect location to visit both Rosemary & Seaside areas. The pool was also a nice added bonus.
This was an amazing stay! The unit was gorgeous and so comfortable. The scooters were a blast, and the location was near everything! Ernie communicated regularly and answered any questions asked. We will come back!

Took my teenage daughter and her friend to 30A for 4 nights to celebrate her birthday. We loved this property and the area! The scooters were a fun addition to the stay and made getting around the neighborhood and area a breeze! The property was clean and nice! We highly recommend this property! The owner was fantastic to work with as well!

Thanks for the kind words Jennifer! Glad you enjoyed. The scooters are our favorite parts when we visit too : )
We had a wonderful vacation at Big Chill 30A! The check in/out process was clearly communicated. Ernie texted a few times to make sure everything was going well and that we were not having any issues. Class Act from beginning to end!

So happy you had such a smooth, enjoyable stay and that the communication helped make things easy from start to finish. We’d love to welcome you back on your next 30A trip!
Clean accommodations with a kitchen well stocked with new dishes and appliances made for a wonderful winter getaway! Shops, restaurants, and 30A were all across the street and easy to walk to and enjoy. Having scooters and bikes available was an added bonus. Beach access was down farther on 30A, harder to walk to but still accessible. The owner was always easy to contact and work with….we definitely will be back!

We’re so glad you enjoyed the kitchen setup, walkable shops, and extras like the bikes and scooters. You’re right about beach access — it ’s technically walkable, but much quicker and easier by bike or scooter, especially if you walk slower like me : ). We’ve even added a bike trailer now to make the trip simpler with familier. Can’t wait to have you back!
If I could rate this stay with more than 5 stars I would! My adult children and I made memories to last a lifetime. The scooters were so much fun to explore the area on and Ernie texted me several times to check in. I highly recommend booking this one! We look forward to staying at Sea Major again in the near future.

About the host
Hosted by Ernie Halter
Hi! I'm a singer-songwriter who spent 10 years in Nashville, Excited to host you!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Prominence in our many visits to the area and when the opportunity came up to snag this property, we couldn't let it pass.
What makes this property unique
30A is unlike anywhere I've been. I love the laid-back vibe, the scenic highway, and the walk/bike path that runs all 28 miles. No high-rises, no chains -- just a quieter, more relaxed feel. And we love it that way.
