Loved Somewhere in the Sun

We just loved our little house! Probably the most laid back vacation we’ve had in a long time! Having to contend with the weather was not fun but we ate good and relaxed a lot. The dogs loved their beach time, which was a plus! We will be back!

Quaint Beach cottage

This property was perfect for my husband and me. It offers a quiet beach right outside your back door, The sunsets and dolphin watching from the upper deck were amazing to see. The cottage was perfect for us. We hope to return soon.

Another week in paradise

This is our 5th stay and hate to share our secret hideaway with too many since we always want our week! We come with just us and our puppies and have the most relaxing weeks. It’s a cute little Florida cottage and just perfect in every way!

Vacation Stay

Great area as its more of a private stay compared to other parts of Flordia. It was nice being directly on the beach and we loved the raised platform to lounge on. We visited multiple nearby towns that had plenty of places to eat all around a 30 minute scenic drive.

Tranquil Little Getaway

When pulling up in the driveway you could see through the front door all the way to the beach. The house was cozy & the views were gorgeous! If you don't want to get sandy, you could go on the deck & see for miles. We will definitely be back!

Prefect as always

It is a comfy cozy, vintage beach house. It has everything you could possibly need. It is a quite relaxing pet friendly beach. Great for young children, or older folks. Outdoor shower is nice, hot tub super clean, new washer and dryer. If you take pets PLEASE clean up after them whether on the beach or around the out side of the house, if it comes out of your pet, pick it up.

Perfect cottage on the beach

This was our second stay and we will stay again. You can see the ocean from nearly every room. I enjoyed drinking my morning coffee out on the deck listening to the ocean waves and watching the dolphins & seabirds before my morning walk. We had a great stay... again 😎

Relaxing getaway

This is a great place to relax and unwind. The coastline is beautiful and so natural and old Florida with the dunes. The cottage is really nice and has anything you would need. The upper deck is a perfect overlook that our dog loved, her first beach trip and the quietness was perfect for her. We loved our getaway and looking forward to returning here again!

Wonderful

We really enjoyed our stay at somewhere in the sun . It is perfect for two people who are not as young as we use to be. The upper deck was great for sunsets and relaxing. For an extra plus the library was better than most towns have. Judy and David

Great beach location

We had the most relaxing vacation ever. There were very few people on the beach all week. If you want to escape the real world for a little piece of heaven this is the place to go! The sunset was unbelievable. Thank you for sharing your beach house. We hope to come back soon!

We absolutely loved our stay! Love the old Florida style of the cottage! Very well equipped for cooking and everything needed for a great relaxing vacation. Loved the deck out front to watch amazing sunrises or sunsets! Just wish we had more time to enjoy longer! We will be back! Thank you Hugh!!
