WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY:



***Soak Up The Sun is perfectly situated just a few steps from the beach and easily accommodates our group of 15 to 23 adults. We stay in the house annually for a reunion of college buddies and spouses. Other than the bunk rooms, which have adjacent bathrooms, each spacious bedroom has an en suite bathroom for privacy and convenience. The first floor great room with spacious kitchen, large dining area and comfortable tv/living room are perfect for a large group of adults. The outside covered area, including a large built in grill an ice machine and comfortable seating, leads out to beautiful deck, pool and spa, with ample room for sunbathing and corn hole boards. However, the most breathtaking attribute of the house is the lovely rooftop with tables and chairs to provide a fabulous happy hour venue and an excellent spot for watching sunsets or sunrises over the beach. The property is always immaculate and the staff are always courteous, prompt, and helpful. In addition to the beach and pool, Soak Up The Sun is wonderfully located across the street from the Silver Sands Outlet Mall and in close proximity to a wide variety of tasty eateries. We love our home away from home. -Allen & Friends



***This was our second time staying at Soak Up The Sun, and we have already booked for next year! It is very difficult to fine accommodations for 15 adults and 15 kids, but this house is perfect! Everyone loves having their own bathroom. Carrie is an excellent hostess. She was very prompt with all of our requests. We will be back. -The Keen Family



***My family and I stayed at the Soak up the Sun for my wedding! Our host Carrie was the sweetest host we’ve ever encountered! She helped us with anything and everything! Down to the measurements just so we could have our wedding here! It turned out to be the most perfect rental for our wedding reception! Plenty of space for our medium sized, intimate wedding! The home was so beautiful and plenty of rooms for everyone to not have to share! We couldn’t recommend this home more! Thank you so much for letting us stay here and host our wedding with family and friends! -Christina



***This was our 5th time staying with Beach Reunion. Everything was perfect as always. Customer service is top notch. Carrie is amazing. The house was amazing and very accommodating for my family of 24! We will for sure be staying at Soak up the Sun again! Beach access is great and having the chairs already set up for you daily is the icing on the cake. The outdoor entertaining area of the house is where we hang out the most. Kids love the pool, and I personally love the hot tub. Even when weather isn’t great the house provides enough space and entertainment . Can’t wait to go back! -Winter
