Excellent!
Our stay was wonderful! Tyler and Jeanine were very kind and professional. We stayed for 21 nights and STILL didn't want to go back home to South Dakota. We liked 401 so much, we booked another three weeks for next year. We never stay at the same place twice, but we are coming back to this gem! The pictures on the website don't do it justice. The view of the coastline is simply awesome! I strongly recommend Soley Beachfront on your next vacation!

Perfect find for our family.
The listing photos don't do this condo justice. This was the perfect rental for our family vacation. So many nice details and a perfect view of the beach. We would definitely stay again.

Worth the money!!!
This was our first time staying here and we are already talking about returning. This has been the most comfortable condo we have ever stayed in while traveling. Even the couches were comfy!! We appreciated the prompt responses to our questions during and after booking as well. Great place and the views are out of this world!!

Nice!
Solely Beachfront was excellent with communication about everything. We had an issue and they had it fixed right away. Condo was spacious and clean with a beautiful view directly on the Gulf.
Very nice and clean. Had everything we needed from toddler to adult. Would recommend to family and friends. Planning to return in the future.

Fantastic Fathers Day Get a way
4 night stay was excellent at Cabana Club. Family on 5 and this penthouse was absolutely amazing. It was our home away from home in the best way. The customer service was exceptional, from the time we booked until we arrived home. The unit was spacious and so inviting. We now wish we had stayed one more night. We felt safe and serene during our stay. We will definitely book with you again. We miss it already!

Excellent!
We have stayed in Cabana Club 401 several times and love it! Most of the time it's only been my husband and myself. For us, having the big private balcony, all the extra space, and being right on the beach makes up in paying more for our trip. My husband also loves the upstairs 'man cave'!

Excellent!
Had a wonderful stay at the Cabana Club. Everything was clean and we felt like we were at home. The staff at Solely were extremely helpful and will use them again in the future! The only small recommendation I would suggest for the condos would be adding throws for the couches and recliner in the event you want something to cover up with while watching tv. Cannot wait to come back next year!!!

401 penthouse
The only thing that I thought would've made our stay better was having a small tv in the upstairs room. Some nights the kids like to watch tv before bed. But everything else was wonderful and if we swing another trip next year we will be back!

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Oct 2023
Good afternoon Aaron! Thank you for the review and the feedback. We forwarded this information to our owner, and they are adding a TV upstairs as well as updating all of the TVs in the house! We hope you get the chance to check out all the improvements on your next vacation :)

Great stay!!!
We appreciated getting in a little early on our arrival date!! Thanks for your efforts there!!! Would have liked a little extension on departure date, but understand hard to coordinate with cleaning schedules.. Thanks also for being very personable with phone conversations!!! A special thanks to Nick for making our last minute reservation one day ahead of our scheduled arrival date!!! We're already looking forward to coming back next year!!!
