Wonderful upscale beach home

This is a well stocked, upscale beach home. Family of 20 was there for Christmas and enjoyed our stay and the amenities (heated pool, bar with ice maker, laundry on every floor, beach towels provided, multiple kitchens,2 dishwashers, elevator, beach and pool toys, and grills). I would suggest baby gates if you bring young kids but everything else was perfect for a large group. Plenty of outdoor seating and space so everyone could have quiet time if they wanted it. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic Home

We really enjoyed our time at this home. This home is configured beautifully and very comfortable for multiple families. We were impressed with the space, specifically the ability for 4 families to stay comfortably and not feel crowded. The rooms and bathrooms have sufficient space and were decorated nicely. There are 3 living room spaces, 2 full kitchens and ample outdoor space. The kitchens really had everything

Great house! The house has lots of room for several families!

The house was clean and very well appointed. There were three floors. All the bedrooms except for two had ocean front views and all had private bathrooms. Short walk to a private beach. Quiet peaceful area. There are 3 washer:dryer units. Elevator was helpful for luggage and groceries. Great place! We would have certainly gone back but it is booked on our dates for next year;(

Wonderful family get-away

This house felt like a home to us! There was a welcome gift on arrival and everything was spotless! This home is decorated so unique and beautifully! Our beds were so comfy and we all enjoyed the elevator. The pool was a plus after being on the beach and getting hot and tired. It was so relaxing to get in the pool and relax and play! Our family loved the large kitchen where we had breakfast and lunch together and laughed and talked. Such a great bonding time! This property is large enough that even when you're tired, you can find a private space to rest and regroup! We loved the location and privacy of pretty much having our own beach area! All of my family members said how much fun they had and how they enjoyed their stay!

Great Vacation Home

This house was beautiful, it had room for all 16 of our group, we checked in on Saturday and the home was ready right on time. We had such a great time week at the beach, When dealing with the rental company they were very helpful and addressed our questions. If we did not have our plans for next year set we would have book this home again. However we will be back in a few years. Thanks for everything Maureen

Beautiful house and beautiful location

The house was absolutely gorgeous and perfect for our large family. The kitchen had plenty of supplies and the pool was great. Couldn't have picked a better house! The location right on the beach was so nice. Everyone in our family, from my 7 year old daughter to my 84 year old grandparents raved about this place. One of our favorite parts? Having beach campfires at sunset in the evenings.

Extended Family Spring break 2024

Our family of 19 including grandparents, kids, and grandkids enjoyed a week at Soulshine. We had 5 vehicles to park without a problem. The keyless entry did not work when we arrived. I messaged the propery manager who unlocked the door remotely. It did cause a slight delay in gaining access to the house which was a little stressful because there were little ones needing to use the bathroom. Maintenance came out the next day and changed the batteries in the keypad device and we had no problem after that. Access to the beach is just a few steps away across the private boardwalk. The pool was heated, clean and well maintained. We did have an issue with the pool heat not working one day but we messaged the manager and it was fixed quickly. The bedrooms all had a TV, WIFI was reliable and mattresses were comfortable, which is huge! I have to say I've never rented a home with a better stocked main kitchen. It has everything you could posssibly need and more. There is a washer and dryer on every floor. We did not need infant furniture but there was a pack and play and highchair available in one of the bedroom closets. There was hand soap in all the bathrooms and enough toilet paper for a couple of days which was nice. There are grills out by the pool both gas and charcoal. The issues we had were minor and unpredictable. Property management was on the ball. We had a great stay here. This is a beautiful, spacious gulf front property. Highly recommend!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

This property was PERFECT for us. We had fifteen in our group, which included my four daughters, son-in-laws, grandsons, grandparents, and great-grandparents. Each bedroom had it's own bathroom. Each floor has it's own laundry room, living room, and kitchen! The furnishings/linens were top quality. The outside furniture was excellent and all the grills were new. The outside shower made for an excellent place to store the kids pool inflatables when not being used. The elevator made it so easy for the great grandparents and helped with the luggage and groceries. Check-in and check-out couldn't be easier. We had an issue with the smoke alarm going off and the maintenance man came within the hour. We also called the answering service at 10 p.m. one night that the heater in the pool wasn't working and someone was there by 10 a.m. the next morning. The pool heater worked great the rest of the week. I HIGHLY recommend this property. By far, the best rental property we have ever stayed in! We made some great family memories.

Annual Family Beach Trip

Our family’s 31st year at the beach; three generations; 18 family members; nothing but fun and memories. We know of plenty comparable beach homes for large parties. After a week stay here we reserved for 2024. Here is why… A kitchen, sofa, dining and TV on each floor. 7 of 9 bedrooms with TVs and beach views from their private deck; fabulous bunk room for the kids as well. A large kitchen and living area to congregate yet smaller ones when space is desired. The best amenities of all the homes we’ve stayed in the past 30 years…literally nothing overlooked. Parking, and deck and pool furniture galore. During the second week of May our nearest sunbathers were usually four blocks or more away. No six lane Destin traffic on two lane US 98. Port St Joe folks were so friendly and down home. Downside trade offs were few but as follows: needs new outdoor grill and the water was not as clear as some previous stays…but such is beach life. Already looking forward to next year. The Bacons

Worth every penny!

We had a group of 17 for our stay. We got married on the beach right behind the condo! It was the perfect setup in the house. My husbands family stayed downstairs, we had the master suite, and my family stayed upstairs. We all had room to hang out together or to separate when we wanted! The house was beautiful and the view is impossible to describe. It was so great to walk out to the beach at anytime and it being right in the back yard! The pool was a huge hit for the kiddos. The house had everything we needed! We truly only needed to pack clothes and food. There's sand toys and all. I would definitely recommend staying here! I just can't imagine traveling to Florida and not staying on the beachfront. We watched the dolphins from the balcony every morning. The water is clear and you can see many sting rays and crabs.
