Soak up the Sun

Summary:

New Standard of Luxury! 11 BR Vacation Home on Sandtrap Road! HUGE Private Pool! 9 King Suites! STEPS to the Beach!



The Space:

Welcome to "Soak Up The Sun!"

The "Perfect Catch" for Football Season! Huge Pool & Backyard, Spacious King Suites! FREE Beach Chairs Through October!





This amazing vacation home, "Soak up the Sun", is the sister home to "Good Day Sunshine"! Guests will enjoy the rooftop terrace with 180 degree views of the gulf and NINE spacious king suites with private bathrooms! This house is one of the select few in the area that sits less than 100 yards to the shore! Take the elevator all the way to the 400 sq. ft. rooftop deck for miles of water views in ALL directions! VERY few houses in Destin have such spectacular views!



Located directly to the south of "Good Day Sunshine", these homes are no more than a 100 steps to the beach walkover, with no streets to cross! So long to industrial noise or heavy traffic! This area of the beach is low density and only services Sandtrap Road. Take a short stroll to the east or west ON the beach to Sandestin and Surf Hut for a beverage or a burger, it's that easy!



Upon entry to the home, conveniently drop your groceries on the huge kitchen island or in the separate pantry. Also just inside the front door is the private elevator for luggage or easy access to the sleeping quarters on the second and third floor. The kitchen is fully equipped with state of the art Kitchen Aid appliances and there are two of everything! Two ovens including a gas stove, two refrigerators, two standard coffee pots, and two dishwashers. There is a Keurig coffee maker as well for those who want to bring their favorite flavorful pods. The modern cabinets provide an abundance of storage. The oversized white quartz island, with seating for 6, is centrally located in the middle of the kitchen with easy access to the dining room and living room. The massive dining room is well-appointed with two full size tables that comfortably seat 8 each. There is also a dining table outdoors in the summer kitchen with seating for 6 poolside.



The sprawling open floor plan on the ground level features 12’ ceilings and the main room is 34’ wide. Both the living room and dining room complete this floor with a half bath. The luxury leather sofas and chairs provide seating for 8 in front of the 60” TV. Step out of the sliding glass door into the summer kitchen area, featuring a full pool bathroom, commercial ice maker, oversized pool and hot tub. The backyard is a thing of beauty and tranquility with a 30’ x 18’ pool, and an elevated hot tub!



Bedrooms are smartly designed with 9 king suites throughout the second and third floors, each with beautifully appointed private baths. Floor to ceiling tile showers with chrome fixtures and rimless glass doors are key focal points in each bath. There are two bathtubs in the house. The sleeping quarters for the younger crowd includes three separate built in bunk rooms. Custom made with shiplap paneling, these beds are solidly made for teenagers or younger kiddos alike. These three rooms can accommodate a total of 18 guests with 3 total sets of queen/queen bunks and 3 twin/twin bunks. Appropriately placed just close enough for mom and dad to keep watch for the younger ones.



There are 5 spacious King Suites and two bunk rooms on the second floor. One bunk room has twin over two twin bunks (Sleeps 4) and the other has 2 Sets of Queen/Queen Bunks (Sleeps 8). The shared bathroom on this floor is for bunk room and game room use. There is a set of washer and dryers also on the second floor. This floor also features a foosball table for family entertainment!



The third floor features 4 MORE King Suites, and the last of 3 bunk rooms with 1 Queen/Queen Bunk, and 1 Twin/Twin Bunk (Sleeps 6). There is an adjoining bathroom adjacent to the game room. There is a second washer and dryer on the third floor. The 3rd floor game room includes a billiards table, and a large flat-screen television.



Parking is absolutely NO problem with three carport spaces and an additional four spaces in front on the pavers.

Great location

We comfortably fit 34 people in the house. It was great location only one block away from the beach and two blocks away from any kind of shop that you need Feels real safe that we did not have to cross a busy street to get to the beach with the kids

The house was just amazing. House was as advertised. Large, spacious, comfortable beds, wonderful pool and great location for the beachgoers. Carrie (House Manager) was very attentive and kept in contact about everything and anything. This was a trip with extended family, and not once did we feel like we were on top of each other and the kitchen/dining/family room was perfect for the family meals and get togethers. If we were to do a large family trip again, we'd book this house in a heartbeat.

We had an amazing time at Soak up the Sun. We took our 6 adult children, assorted spouses, and 8 grandchildren. The house was absolutely perfect for our needs. Besides the 13 bedrooms, there were also multiple lounging areas, giving people ways to visit or escape for a bit. The pool was fabulous, and there was a huge space all around, allowing us to have relay races for a child’s bday or to play cornhole. Carrie, the house manager, was willing to chat about questions we had before the trip, as well as answer questions during our stay. Everything was clean and well equipped, and we would love to stay here again!

Fantastic house for our family reunion

We stayed at Soak Up the Sun - a fantastic house for our family reunion of 26 people. House description was right on! Location to beach was great - a 2 minute walk down a quiet street. Loved the beach chair/umbrella set-up service. Pool was a big hit for all - great size, clean and space for everyone. House was clean and well organized and accessorized for the number of people. Communication throughout the process was outstanding. Bonus for our family was the number of king beds with private baths. We loved the location - and especially walking down the beach to Surf Hut. The beach is fantastic and surprised all those who had never been to this area. Highly recommend this house for all of these reasons!

Fabulous week with our family. The house exceeded our expectations. Short walk to the beach with the umbrellas and chairs made for a super fun experience for our group. Carrie, the main contact, was incredibly attentive and responsive to our needs and questions.

Beautiful property, room for large groups!

We truly loved this house! Had a large group and we all fit comfortably with the multiple master suites! This house is steps from the beach. It has everything you would need including two fridges, two dishwashers and two kitchen tables. The pool and spa are beautiful - we all agreed that the pictures do not do them justice! The rooftop deck is also amazing - you can see the ocean! The property manager was helpful with anything we need - she even took the time to come over and introduce herself. If you're looking for a large house for a big group, this is the one!

Vacation was too short!

Home is huge. Fit everyone and no one was over crowded. We loved it. We had a few let downs. The elevator continued to have issues. Couple times almost got stuck. It is VERY slow. And not operator error. Home needs a thorough cleaning such as floors need to be mopped properly. Our feet where black after just a few minutes of being there. We wet swiffered the first floor. It helped. Several of the toilet seats are loose. Refrigerator drawers were broken on the refrigerator on the left. Back porch area could use ceiling fans. Most of the tv remotes are broken, replaced with new batteries didn't help. When we booked the house the beach cruiser bikes were included. Sometime after booking Owners decided they were not. We had to use our vaykay gear credit on them. And had to pay extra for the bikes. Pool was great for those that couldn't get to beach and for the littles.
