Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The king mattress in upstairs master suite and downstairs need replacing. They seem worn out. This year it gave me a backache. Also, could you please place some handicap bars in the downstairs bathroom with the king bed. There needs to be one across from the toilet and in the shower if possible.

The outdoor kitchen, restroom, shower and lower deck space were recently added. They offer an excellent covered area to hang out and lounge without the need to run up the stairs (or elevator) every time you need a beverage or the restroom. It also allows for outdoor fun with the protection of shade.

Special family time

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: Our family of nine loves stlaying at Sol Mate. We enjoy preparing our meals in the well equipped kitchen while being able to look out and see dolphins. Having two dishwashers is a bonus as dirty dishes aren’t left in the sink. The beach towels provided are an extra bonus. The beds and linens are very comfortable. Of course, the beach and gulf are the real attraction. With the beach renewal there was more beach area this year. We look forward to Brian stopping by to say hello each year. Brian, Donna and their staff are always helpful if anything is needed. Thank you again for our wonderful family beach week.

Beautiful, quiet retreat!

This house was amazing! It was well equipped, had a lot of amenities provided that most places don't include. The views were outstanding! We especially appreciated how equipped it was for our little ones. This is not a hustling and bustling area, but rather a quiet, calm slice of heaven! We really enjoyed our stay!

We LOVED our stay at Sol Mate! The house has everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay at the beach. So nice to be able to walk right out to the beach, come up for lunch and head back out until sunset. We enjoyed coffee on the porch, kids played cards at table on porch, lots of dolphin sightings and the grill was great! We can't wait to come back!

Sol Mate has absolutely everything you will need for a perfect week on the most perfect beach! We especially love having two dishwashers. The kitchen is very well stocked to feed a big group and you can watch the waves while cooking and eating. The high ceilings and huge windows give you amazing views of the beach which is right there, so close.

Thank you Tami! It was great hosting your party and we certainly look forward to your return next year. I believe Sol Mate has a somewhat unique layout as far as kitchens go. The owner recognized that most parties and gatherings gravitate toward the kitchen. It is as much an entertaining space as it is a place to prepare your meals. Giving the kitchen a front row seat to the beach is amazing as you can enjoy the view while prepping and cleaning up! Other guests have said they've never enjoyed cooking and doing dishes as they do at Sol Mate!

This house was perfect for our spring vacation! The house is BEAUTIFUL and the elevator is a great addition! You are literally just a few steps down to the sand!
