WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY:

The pool was great, and the night lights were ere beautiful! The elevator was so helpful for older and disabled family members. The view from the roof was amazing. And having the beach towels and beach set up made the whole trip so much easier and more relaxing! It was a wonderful house and set us up for a great vacation. Last, but not least, the house manager Carrie was lovely, warm, and so helpful. Her responsiveness and attention to detail made our trip even better! Highly recommend! -Elizabeth



The house was great! It’s a perfect location and a very short walking distance to the beautiful Miramar beach. We loved that the chairs and umbrellas are set up each day at the beach. That helps so much. The house is amazing and so clean! We had everything we needed included pool towels. The pool set up is perfect and the pool was a great temperature. Carrie is an excellent host and easy to get a hold of. If there are questions, Carrie gets back quickly and helps with anything. We have been back to this house for the past few years and plan to go again! We love it! -Katie



We have been staying at Soak Up the Sun the last four years. The amenities are top notch. The pool/ hot tub and outdoor space are one of the reasons we love it so much. Inside there is plenty of space for our group of 27. The kids especially love the pool table room and the roof top. Carrie is wonderful. If we ever need anything or something needs to be fixed it is done right away. We will definitely be rebooking for next year! - Nikki



Soak up the sun rental was everything our group needed. You will not find a better host than Carrie!! She is welcoming and so quick with any minor request we had. The house is perfect and accommodating for large families. We have already booked for a 5th time with Carrie!! - Ryan
