We had a really good time in Sunny Side, it's a wonderful house with all amenities you might ask for. It's like being at home. The house is pretty close to the beach but far enough from the street - it's absolutley quiet. We love the open floor plan and the style of decoration in the house. The starter kit of detergents is a nice plus. The house is perfect start for a great vacation time.

We love the area and your wonderful cottage made it a special week. The beach wasn't crowded and the water was very warm--we didn't try the pool, but it certainly looked inviting. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. I have already recommended it to friends and we hope to be back again soon. Thanks for providing the menus.

Thank you soooo much for sharing your vacation cottage with my family and I this summer. We had a fantastic time and your cottage was the perfect home away from home. The location was perfect for the beach, pool and local shopping and dining. I look forward to returning to Sunny Side in the future. Thank you again!!

This was my families first time to the beach. We had a great time. I would reccomend this place to anyone. Kitchen had all that we needed to cook. I would bring a sharp knife. It was great to play on the beach, not to crowed. Close to what you need but far enough to be quiet. Hope we can come back in the future. Only thing is that I wished they provided bikes to ride. Owner was great to work with and was prompt to return my calls. Place was very clean when we got here.

Our family had a great vacation in your lovely house. All the photos are representative of what you find inside; modern and very clean! It is quite close to the pool, a short walk and even shorter bike ride to the beach. It is also in a very nice "community" where I felt secure letting my teens go to the beach or bike ride without us. We were pleased by the good communication with the owner and their willingness to meet our needs. We had great fun riding our bikes down to nearby Rosemary Beach and beyond.
Owner response:Thanks for staying at our house Mary. Hope you'll come back!

We had a great vacation at Sunnyside!! My family stayed her for the month of MAy and we had the best time here. The pool is in a great location to the house. The neighborhood is great for small kids. The house is at the end of the street which is great for my boys which are 5 and 3 to ride their bike and not worry about traffic. The neighborhood is small and very quiet. We highly recommend staying here. Thanks again we had a blast!
Owner response:Glad you all had a wonderful time. Thanks for the nice review.

Thank you so much for sharing your vacation home with us. It was decorated so nice and there was plenty of room for our family. We enjoyed morning coffee on the private screened porch and short walks to both the beach and the pool. Riding bikes up and down 30A was one of our favorite things to do. We had so much fun and will definitely want to come back again.
Owner response:Thanks for being such good guests :)

We absolutely loved your home. It was beautifully decorated and it had all the comforts of home. We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen and had dinners at the house. The house was spacious and having 3 bathrooms was a blessing. The walk to the pool was very short and the pool was fabulous. We enjoyed the quaintness of the community. The beach was very nice. The stairs down to the beach could use some repair though. We did not encounter any problems on the beach due to the oil spill. We did have 3 - 4 full days of rain from hurricane Alex in the Gulf. We would definitely recommend this house to friends and would vacation here again. We did take trips into Destin to shop at the outlets and into Panama City for visits to the movies, Pier Park, and Ripley's Believe It or Not. We appreciated the small cooler to take to the pool and beach. My son enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch while reading and listening to music as the the rain fell.

We throughly enjoyed our week at Sunny Side. The acutal house was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The gas grill made cooking a few nights easy and healthy! The home was equipped with more than enough other cooking utensils and gadgets. My kids enjoyed the pool. My husband I loved the location proximatey to Alys Beach and Rosemary (about 1 1/4 mile) and then to Seaside (5.5 miles). We usually started our day with a run to Rosemary or biking to Seaside. My kids also enjoyed biking to the Sugar Shack at Rosemary each day. If you have a lot of stuff consider each day as we did to load up drop your stuff near the beach board walk and then pick it back up at the end of day. Overall we had a great time and loved the accomodations as well as the location of the property. I would highly recommend this vacation home to anyone!!!
