We rented both units last year on July 4th week. It was so awesome that we are coming back again this year. Unfortunately July 4th was booked but we rearranged our vacation just because we didnt want to go anywhere else. I am sure we will be back again next year as well.

NIce property right on the beach with a full wall of windows facing the Gulf. Walk the beach from the unit to Stump Pass State Park. Pride of ownership is apparent; the owner is personable and attentive. We've stayed twice; we'll return - definitely a Soul's Rest as described!

Vacation with the turtles

I have stayed in the "Heart's Desire" (first floor) of the house twice and really enjoyed being right on the beach with the view of the beach, sunsets, waves, etc. The last trip was in August, which we knew would be hot weather, but we hoped to see turtle nests and hatching and we were so lucky! There were more than 50 nests within walking distance in various stages after being laid and the first one we saw being dug up by turtle patrol after hatching in the night was right in front of the house It had 96 already hatched eggs , 4 dead tiny turtles and 4 live saved. The location is great, 1/2 way between Stump Pass and the bridge to the key where the Beach Store, Circle K, and public beach are located and the house is well decorated and very comfortable with a great kitchen well stocked and granite counters.

Vacation Retreat

We rented this retreat a second time because of the location, all the amenities, and the fabulous view. This time we even had a special delight in the addition of a outside patio that provided a wonderful view and shade to get out of the sun. We even had an opportunity to meet the owners. They made sure that we had everything we needed though the place provides you with everything you will need but your food. It is clean, well maintained and has direct access to the beach. You can open your windows and have the waves put you to sleep. I would definetly recommend this place to anyone. Fabuloso!!!!!!

Owner response:It is such a pleasure for us to know that our guests appreciate all the energy we put in our home to keep it to high standards. We have many repeat guests and that says a lot. Rawy and Nijole.

Paradise

Soul's Rest was just what the name implies! We've experienced other places in the area and this by far is our favorite. You can sit in the livingroom and watch the beautiful sunsets or go out on the wrap around deck and feel the sea breezes. The deck was especially great for shade or wind protection depending on the time of day. The private beach level patios for each unit was a very nice addition because other places you have to share chairs, tables etc. The bed was very comfortable and even large enough for my 6'7 husband. Wish we could have stayed longer. We can't wait to go back! Cindy and Jim

We stayed at Souls Rest 6/14 to 6/21/08 and we really enjoyed it!!!It was just what we were looking for. It was very enjoyable and relaxing. What we liked most is that it was so close to the water, only steps away. The condo was exactly as the photos pictured. It was very clean and smelled very nice as soon as we walked in. Very well equiped with everything. Nice deck with lots of chairs and umbrella table and chairs and about 3 grills. If you like quiet and relaxing, this is the place to be. We will definately be back soon!!!

We had the perfect "chill out" vacation here. This off the beaten path home is great for families with children (2)(downstairs) and grandparents (upstairs.) The home has everything you need hairdryer, beach toys, tons of towels, kids surf boards. Really, just pack your swimsuit. The weather was great 8 days of 86 and full sun. When you've had too much sun the home has great shade from large trees. The beach is private (deeded) in a week we saw less than 20 people (most year-round locals). The waves were small, water clear and warm. Finding shells and sharks teeth was a fun time passer. We found over 200 sharks teeth, and really became knowledgable on sharks. Get a post card of teeth so you know what to look for. The grocery is only 3 miles away. It is a great base for many day trips 1 hour 25 mins to Tampa (great zoo), about the same to Orlando. We loved this home and will be back for many season to come!
