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!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
We comfortably fit 34 people in the house. It was great location only one block away from the beach and two blocks away from any kind of shop that you need Feels real safe that we did not have to cross a busy street to get to the beach with the kids
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
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.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Apr 2025
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!
