Amazing Views

My husband, our dog, and I truly enjoyed our stay at Soul Surfing in September. We watched the sunset on one side and the full moon rise on the other from the private beach. I also enjoyed the sunrises from the back balcony. We used the map and island information for planning our adventures each day and the outdoor chairs on both balconies and the private beach. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. We also enjoyed playing PacMan after dark! We saw a fox, dolphins, and lots of birds. It was an amazing vacation!!

Nice Stay

House was nice, lots of room, great set up for a group of ten. Beautiful views of the water and easy beach access. House had very minimal paper and cleaning products though. We had to go out and buy TP, trash bags, etc. House didn’t feel super clean either, some of the bedding covers didn’t seem recently washed, even found clothes from a previous guest stuffed behind the couch cushions. The refrigerator water filter probably needs to be changed, it was a slow drip of filtered water. May need to attach a filter to the sink tap, the tap water tasted pretty strongly like chlorine. All in all though a nice place with lots of room for a big group, solid beach house.

Such a great vacation!

This group of ten adults and 2 kids (5 & 1.5 years) had such a wonderful time. This home's location is perfect to view both the sound and the gulf. The home was spacious and comfortable. It was even better than the pictures! The kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were comfy. We hope to come back again! HIGHLY recommend staying here!!!

The Perfect Getaway

We loved the community, the home was beautiful, amenities were pretty great! The only thing I’d say is that the dishes were a bit short if you had a bigger group but we grabbed some paper products and all was wonderful! We loved having the water on both sides! It was sooooo nice having the sunrise and sunset over the water, too! We will absolutely come back! No complaints from 4 years to 68 years! Thank you for such incredible memories! Highly recommend!

Review

The home itself was beautiful and close to the public beach. The downfalls were that the beds were extremely uncomfortable (to the point where people slept on the couch instead of bed) and the home wasn’t cleaned well. The floors were not swept or mopped, underneath the beds were disgusting, and there was a lot of hair (dog and women’s)/dirt in the corners of each room.

Amazing Family Vacation

Great family vacation with our five adult children, spouses, grandchildren, and fur babies! We had twelve people and five dogs. Layout of the house was perfect for our stay. Never felt crowded. Everyone had their own bed and private space. The back porch is in the shade all day and was perfect for hanging out. The dogs loved it! The private beach area on the back was perfect for our family and dogs. The location was perfect. A true relaxing low key family vacation. We made memories we will cherish for a lifetime! Highly recommend this wonderful home for a great vacation. Will definitely be back!!

Absolutely stunning and clean!

This beach house looks like an HGTV property. It's gorgeous and immaculate. Even though pets are allowed, we didn't see any signs that pets had been there, and our dog didn't seem to smell any other animals. It's a large space without feeling too big - great layout, design, and colors. Right outside the back porch is the beach on the bay side. We found tons of shells and hermit crabs. You can also walk across the street on the front side of the house to go to the gulf beach. The waves are much bigger on that side. A 10-minute walk down the road is the west end public beach that stretches for miles with gorgeous open sunsets. Some things to pack: Hand soap, dish cloth, kitchen sponge, kitchen towels (one thin towel provided), dish soap (small amount provided), can opener (the one there is broken), measuring cups and spoons (missing some key ones for recipes), coffee filters, beach towels, laundry detergent (single load provided), hair conditioner, bath soap or body wash. The hosts answered our questions well. We loved our stay and highly recommend this lovely beach house!

Our new place to stay

We have been coming to DI for many years and staying at another property on the island. Needless to say we have a new place we will be staying at from now on. The views are breath taking every morning and night. My wife loved how close she was to the water on either side of the house. Our dogs loved the big back deck to lay on and relax. We can’t wait to come back again!!

No restaurants

The house overall was very nice. It does have 24 steps to get upstairs to the living area and was rather difficult to get all of our belongings upstairs . There were very few restaurants and the ones that were open were not open every day. When we to on vacation, I do not plan on cooking every day. The worst things about the house was the linens. It looked like they had years and years of use. Very thin. All the other homes we have rented have had linens as nice or better than the ones we have in our home. The internet is so sketchy we had a hard time with Netflix and other programs. We left two days early and have never done that on a beach vacation. Very disappointed overall.

Peace and quiet

Nice clean modern property. Easy access to bay and ocean which was perfect for the little ones - big waves just play on the bay beach till it calmed a bit. Big deck both sides lets you choose sunny, shady, windy, etc. Owner has plenty of plastic adarondack chairs and water toys to take to the water. Deep property gives privacy. Could use a bedding mattress update, otherwise perfect.

Beautiful house and steps from the beach!

Loved this house so much! Wide open floor plan and wonderful back porch to relax on. One recommendation: might bring your own bath towels as well. They have them but they were seeing their last days I think.

Had an amazing stay!

It was my first ever trip to the beach. I wasn’t sure what to expect, so ….. We stayed 3 nights. This property was beautiful. It was exactly as described. The owners were very responsive to messages. I’m not sure if there would have been a better place for our group. The beds were great, and decor was beautiful. The walkout to the bay side was my son’s favorite part. He spent every extra minute fishing - he caught several small croakers and some ocean perch. We actually saw some dolphins off the porch early one morning and saw them two late afternoons in a row off the public beach. It did rain occasionally while we were there, but don’t let the forecast discourage you, it clears up quickly and you can get back to your outside activities. The TV’s are giant - in every room. The boys went straight to the arcade games as soon as we arrived. It was amazing. Only thing that might have improved the property would be a hot tub or pool, but that may have taken it outside my price range. Overall a super vacation. Would recommend and would rent again.

Amazing home

This home was perfect for our group of 3 couples with their 6 children ranging from 6 years old to 20 years old. It was immaculate when we arrived. We had plenty of space for everyone and the kitchen was designed for easily cooking for a large group. The location of the house was wonderful-directly out the back deck to the calm bay and just a few minutes out the front to the gulf for those of us who wanted more waves. The owners answered all of my questions and had friendly and fast communication. Only small cons to be aware of-mattresses are not comfortable and the deck furniture was flimsy, which made people worry about breaking it whenever they sat down. Besides those two things, we all agreed the house was amazing and we would all highly recommend it. Beautiful home and very relaxing vacation.

Fantastic beach house

This house is fantastic. When we arrived, I found the living space to be larger than I expected from the photos. The layout and furnishings were perfect for our group of 6 adults and 3 kids, with plenty of room to spare. The beach was great! Most days it was quiet and private with calm waters perfect for the kids. We had fun watching the pelicans and seagulls. Just one bit of advice for future travelers: bring water shoes as we had to walk over a lot of shells to get into the water and that made it much easier! Perfect house for a family beach trip!

I'd Stay Again

Pros: Beautiful house. Great location. Great communication with property manager. Cons: Not the cleanest (dirty diaper under a bed, moldy/stinky clothes washer, sand/dog hair on the floor, very dirty HVAC filter), gas grill propane tank was empty, internet connection was hit or miss. Overall, it was a beautiful house for our big family group with easy access to the bay or Gulf. We would stay here again.
