WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY:
***Soak Up the Sun was Perfecto! Our entire family stayed as Soak Up the Sun and it was perfection! The house had ample space, an excellent kitchen to accommodate, and a fun outdoor space that was an extra bonus. It was clean and in excellent condition. Any questions we had, were quickly answered by Carrie - she was amazing to work with. Truly 10/10, no notes, and hope to be back again! - JT
***Soak Up The Sun is the place to BE!!! Our family and friends had a blast! The house had everything and more. The walk to the beach is walking distance(amazing). The huge kitchen was amazing with basically 2 of everything. Even the rooftop was amazing!! Even though it rained everyday we were there, that didn’t stop the fun because there were plenty to do by the poolside. The rooms and bathrooms accommodated everyone that came.
But let me brag on Carrie some… she’s the most sweetest, kindest, respectful person. I didn’t have no problems when I had a question about something. I’ll definitely recommend anyone to stay at Soak Up The Sun and I most definitely will stay again. - Jameelah
***The pool was great, and the night lights were 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
