A great get-away

We enjoyed our extended stay at Sunny Side Up. The kitchen was well stocked for any type of cooking. The home was lovely with every detail well thought out. We had one small maintenance issue about which we contacted John and he responded promptly and arranged to have it fixed the same day. Overall, we were very pleased and plan to return.

Wonderful family vacation!

From booking to checkout, we had a great experience! The home was spotless upon check in and the host was so quick to respond to our request (extra pillowcases.) The house is very close to the beach and pool. There is a lot of seating on the main floor, plenty of outdoor seating/space, and it comfortably accommodated our party of 10. The home is well appointed and includes a small shed/garage with various beach items (some chairs, umbrellas, toys, etc) We loved our stay here and highly recommend it!

Great week!

Our entire family (ages ranging from 5-80) had an amazing week at Sunny Side Up. The house is stocked with everything you need and more! And, if you need something, Winn-Dixie is literally a minute away. We LOVED the fact that the street is so private and quiet and the beach is super easy to access. Trishelle was always quick to respond when we had questions (where to buy local fresh fish, forgotten pool gate code). Hope we can return to SSU someday soon!
