Area information:
Located in the beach community of Port St. Joe, this vacation rental offers families and friends the quintessential Florida experience at a relaxed pace. Just a quick drive from boutique shopping and amazing local eateries, you can enjoy a day of retail therapy, or head out on the water of St. Joseph Bay for a refreshing fishing trip.
For families interested in getting out of town for the day, it's a quick drive to Panama City Beach and Apalachicola, both of which offer something for all ages. Beach living is at its peak here, so it's easy to enjoy a casual adventure by hiking Cape San Blas park (previously St. Joseph Peninsula State Park), or simply catching rays on the private, uncrowded beaches.

Great house

Perfect house for large groups. We had a maintenance issue that was resolved quickly and completely. Staff at office very congenial and polite. The pool is wonderful and the beach is easy to get to with the private boardwalk.

Great location and beautiful view. With 24 in the house, including 14 young grandchildren, we have unfortunately outgrown the house after three years. As such, we have secured a 12 bedroom home in Destin for next year. We may well be back at some point - we love the house and location.

Property was great! Matched description on VRBO site. House was clean, well maintained and stocked with starter essentials. Beach front property was beautiful and clean. Port St Joe area has an old florida vibe and is less developed than Panama City. Pool was well maintained and clean, but be aware its rather small. Be aware that Hwy 98 runs right behind house and can make parking challenging depending on traffic, and the road noise is audible in some rooms. They did provide white noise devices in some bedrooms to counter the noise, which i found thoughtful. Definitely recommend staying here. One downside, which has nothing to do with this house, if you need catering, do not use CateringConnections. Very negative experience and poorly run business.

Best beach house ever for larger families! So much room. Bathrooms inside the bedrooms. Kitchen on every level. Main kitchen on the 2nd floor that we cooked in every day and night. Washer and dryer on each level. Living space on each level. Private pool and outdoor shower are so fabulous. We used every inch of this great house the entire week. This is our second year in Soulshine for beach week with our family. So fun and every convenience has been thought about. Thank you so much!

Wonderful upscale beach home

This is a well stocked, upscale beach home. Family of 20 was there for Christmas and enjoyed our stay and the amenities (heated pool, bar with ice maker, laundry on every floor, beach towels provided, multiple kitchens,2 dishwashers, elevator, beach and pool toys, and grills). I would suggest baby gates if you bring young kids but everything else was perfect for a large group. Plenty of outdoor seating and space so everyone could have quiet time if they wanted it. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic Home

We really enjoyed our time at this home. This home is configured beautifully and very comfortable for multiple families. We were impressed with the space, specifically the ability for 4 families to stay comfortably and not feel crowded. The rooms and bathrooms have sufficient space and were decorated nicely. There are 3 living room spaces, 2 full kitchens and ample outdoor space. The kitchens really had everything

Beautiful house and beautiful location

The house was absolutely gorgeous and perfect for our large family. The kitchen had plenty of supplies and the pool was great. Couldn't have picked a better house! The location right on the beach was so nice. Everyone in our family, from my 7 year old daughter to my 84 year old grandparents raved about this place. One of our favorite parts? Having beach campfires at sunset in the evenings.

Great house! The house has lots of room for several families!

The house was clean and very well appointed. There were three floors. All the bedrooms except for two had ocean front views and all had private bathrooms. Short walk to a private beach. Quiet peaceful area. There are 3 washer:dryer units. Elevator was helpful for luggage and groceries. Great place! We would have certainly gone back but it is booked on our dates for next year;(
