The house was just amazing. House was as advertised. Large, spacious, comfortable beds, wonderful pool and great location for the beachgoers. Carrie (House Manager) was very attentive and kept in contact about everything and anything. This was a trip with extended family, and not once did we feel like we were on top of each other and the kitchen/dining/family room was perfect for the family meals and get togethers. If we were to do a large family trip again, we'd book this house in a heartbeat.

Beautiful property, room for large groups!

We truly loved this house! Had a large group and we all fit comfortably with the multiple master suites! This house is steps from the beach. It has everything you would need including two fridges, two dishwashers and two kitchen tables. The pool and spa are beautiful - we all agreed that the pictures do not do them justice! The rooftop deck is also amazing - you can see the ocean! The property manager was helpful with anything we need - she even took the time to come over and introduce herself. If you're looking for a large house for a big group, this is the one!

Vacation was too short!

Home is huge. Fit everyone and no one was over crowded. We loved it. We had a few let downs. The elevator continued to have issues. Couple times almost got stuck. It is VERY slow. And not operator error. Home needs a thorough cleaning such as floors need to be mopped properly. Our feet where black after just a few minutes of being there. We wet swiffered the first floor. It helped. Several of the toilet seats are loose. Refrigerator drawers were broken on the refrigerator on the left. Back porch area could use ceiling fans. Most of the tv remotes are broken, replaced with new batteries didn't help. When we booked the house the beach cruiser bikes were included. Sometime after booking Owners decided they were not. We had to use our vaykay gear credit on them. And had to pay extra for the bikes. Pool was great for those that couldn't get to beach and for the littles.

We had an amazing time at Soak up the Sun. We took our 6 adult children, assorted spouses, and 8 grandchildren. The house was absolutely perfect for our needs. Besides the 13 bedrooms, there were also multiple lounging areas, giving people ways to visit or escape for a bit. The pool was fabulous, and there was a huge space all around, allowing us to have relay races for a child’s bday or to play cornhole. Carrie, the house manager, was willing to chat about questions we had before the trip, as well as answer questions during our stay. Everything was clean and well equipped, and we would love to stay here again!

Fantastic house for our family reunion

We stayed at Soak Up the Sun - a fantastic house for our family reunion of 26 people. House description was right on! Location to beach was great - a 2 minute walk down a quiet street. Loved the beach chair/umbrella set-up service. Pool was a big hit for all - great size, clean and space for everyone. House was clean and well organized and accessorized for the number of people. Communication throughout the process was outstanding. Bonus for our family was the number of king beds with private baths. We loved the location - and especially walking down the beach to Surf Hut. The beach is fantastic and surprised all those who had never been to this area. Highly recommend this house for all of these reasons!
