No stairs, which is great for grandparents and bad knees. Only 35 steps from the back door to the beach sand! We had a great time! Maybe think about installing window screens water side and a rear screen door just to enjoy the fall breeze and sounds of the gulf from inside. ##### Stacy C.

Very elegant, well decorated and comfortable. Loved the all-white lovely linens and the spacious kitchen with its large central island. Right on the beautiful beach, with a private walkway, very comfortable with ramps to make it accessible to all. Lovely swimming pool, lots of pool and beach furniture. Highly recommend this wonderful beach house. ##### Barbara W.

The pool was wonderful. We changed our minds and decided to heat it and they were very quick toMake that happen. The house had great supplies and was beautiful. I can honestly say it was one of the best family experiences we have had in all the years we have been taking family beach vacations. Loved it. ##### Brigetta N.

Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved this beach house!! Completely updated kitchen-stocked with everything but food. Right on the beach & close enough you can hear the waves at night. Walking distance to the bars/restaurants-if you don’t mind a little walking. Always fun to rent a golf cart though. . I would definitely return and recommend to others!! ##### Dave M. Stayed 13 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie B. 30 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful property, great location My family enjoyed our stay at this property. It was spacious, just steps to the beach, and walking distance to “downtown”. There were plenty of beach towels and it was nice that we got a credit for beach gear. The listing says there are three king beds, but there’s actually only one - the other two are queens. There are no cooking basics (olive oil, salt, etc) which was a bummer, and having only one roll of toilet paper seemed scant for an otherwise well appointed house. It was really nice to have the pool, though the cost for heating it was expensive ($150). The hot water heater is not large enough to accommodate several showers at once, and two of the four showers are very small. Overall though I would recommend this property to others and would stay again! ##### Leslie B. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jana H. 10 Jun 2024 #### Great location / small showers Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just got back and had a great time! House is beautiful and property management super responsive about a couple of small issues. 2 major issues with this house in my opinion. First you should disclose 2 of the bathroom situations. Smallest showers I’ve ever seen! Ever! Average size adult couldn’t bend over if they dropped something. Literally no room to move or wash off in the shower. My adult son had to sit on a toilet sideways because not enough leg room to sit straight. Second is the outside area. There is an outdoor shower that is nice but it is full of sand. That is where the hose is to wash off from the beach and impossible to get sand off and not track it into house. I did vacuum a couple of times because I felt so bad about the sand but it really couldn’t be helped. The decor is beautiful and open kitchen/island/dining/and living area is lovely. There is a second fridge in the laundry that is super convenient. But to list as a 4 bathroom house is a stretch with those 2 bathrooms. Very inconvenient. ##### Jana H.

Reviewer Comments: We spent Spring Break on SGI in Soulshine and had a wonderful trip. The home is gorgeous, spacious and in the perfect location. It is well stocked with plenty of dishes for cooking. The home had plenty of room for my husband and me and the 7 teenagers with us! The deck area is perfect and we were just steps from the beautiful beach. Check in was simple and the home was clean and beautiful. I highly recommend. ##### Holly W.
