Great place to stay on the beach. 3 families with 3 small children and a dog had plenty of room. We would stay here again.

Beautiful house steps from the beach! Great pool! It appears they are in the process of updating. What has been done is fabulous. What has not been done (2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) is still ok. We would come back! Excellent for a large gathering. Wonderful kitchen that is well appointed!

SoulShine

Soul Shine is a beautiful property on SGI that is more than accommodating for a family vacation. The beach is amazing, the Island is relaxing and still close to PCB and other site seeing. Would highly recommend and visit again

Wonderful beach house, we enjoyed our stay and will be hoping to come back this summer.

Very elegant, well decorated and comfortable. Loved the all-white lovely linens and the spacious kitchen with its large central island. Right on the beautiful beach, with a private walkway, very comfortable with ramps to make it accessible to all. Lovely swimming pool, lots of pool and beach furniture. Highly recommend this wonderful beach house.

Fabulous Fall Break

Beautiful place. No stairs, which is great for grandparents and bad knees. Only 35 steps from the back door to the beach sand! We had a great time! Maybe think about installing window screens water side and a rear screen door just to enjoy the fall breeze and sounds of the gulf from inside.

Soulshine at SGI

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I take our adult kids and grandchildren to SGI most fall breaks . This was our first stay at Soulshine and everyone enjoyed the layout of the house on all one level with the small children. Also very easy access to the beach. The house was clean and the kitchen had everything you would need to cook a meal if you wanted. My husband loved the grill outside and the fish cleaning station. It is a home we would return to in the future.

Wonderful Beach House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved this beach house!! Completely updated kitchen-stocked with everything but food. Right on the beach & close enough you can hear the waves at night. Walking distance to the bars/restaurants-if you don’t mind a little walking. Always fun to rent a golf cart though. . I would definitely return and recommend to others!!

Great location on the beach!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our rental, SoulShine, was right on the beach which was so convenient for our family with young children. We also loved the private pool which was large enough for all of us to enjoy at one time. We liked that each bedroom had a bath and the open living space. The outdoor shower was also very handy. We loved the carport to keep our bikes and other gear shaded. We loved the elevated chairs out back to watch the beach and ocean even late at night. The area where we stayed was perfect in that it was convenient to all the shops and activities but in a quiet neighborhood. Overall, we love St.George island and will return for future family vacations.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a wonderful vacation with my parents, children and grandchildren. The location was excellent. We were right on the beach and it was very peaceful and not crowded. The pool was wonderful. We changed our minds and decided to heat it and they were very quick toMake that happen. The house had great supplies and was beautiful. I can honestly say it was one of the best family experiences we have had in all the years we have been taking family beach vacations. Loved it.

Beautiful property, great location

My family enjoyed our stay at this property. It was spacious, just steps to the beach, and walking distance to “downtown”. There were plenty of beach towels and it was nice that we got a credit for beach gear. The listing says there are three king beds, but there’s actually only one - the other two are queens. There are no cooking basics (olive oil, salt, etc) which was a bummer, and having only one roll of toilet paper seemed scant for an otherwise well appointed house. It was really nice to have the pool, though the cost for heating it was expensive ($150). The hot water heater is not large enough to accommodate several showers at once, and two of the four showers are very small. Overall though I would recommend this property to others and would stay again!

Great location / small showers

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just got back and had a great time! House is beautiful and property management super responsive about a couple of small issues. 2 major issues with this house in my opinion. First you should disclose 2 of the bathroom situations. Smallest showers I’ve ever seen! Ever! Average size adult couldn’t bend over if they dropped something. Literally no room to move or wash off in the shower. My adult son had to sit on a toilet sideways because not enough leg room to sit straight. Second is the outside area. There is an outdoor shower that is nice but it is full of sand. That is where the hose is to wash off from the beach and impossible to get sand off and not track it into house. I did vacuum a couple of times because I felt so bad about the sand but it really couldn’t be helped. The decor is beautiful and open kitchen/island/dining/and living area is lovely. There is a second fridge in the laundry that is super convenient. But to list as a 4 bathroom house is a stretch with those 2 bathrooms. Very inconvenient.

The deck area is perfect and we were just steps from the beautiful beach. Check in was simple and the home was clean and beautiful. I highly recommend.
