Loved the house. Very close to the beach and parking permit provided, plus a private pier and sandy beach on the bayside. Will echo prior reviews and advise to bring coffee filters, salt/pepper, a few tupperwares for leftovers and transport of food to the beach. Will be back!

We loved the quiet bay side of this home so much. It was perfect for our family of 4. The sunsets and dinners on the back deck were wonderful. The beach is a very close walk. Pro tip: bring basket type coffee filters or pods for Keurig. Also bring olive oil, salt and pepper for cooking.

The view is nice and the home is clean….but the kitchen should be remodeled and stocked better. No salt/pepper, coffee filters, spices, etc. Nothing to use to cook. Pots and pans should be thrown out. Gas grill’s door was off and the grill was on a moving dolly. Home needs comfortable outdoor furniture/seating. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms nicely updated but water pressure in small shower not great. Not sure property managers are doing this place much justice. Lots of potential but missed the mark on what we have always seen in other rentals and to only get corporate response of “that listing doesn’t include that” rather than “how can I help?” was disappointing.

We loved our stay here over the Christmas holiday. The home was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed except a hair dryer. It has a wonderful, spacious layout and well stocked kitchen plus recently updated baths! The showers were huge! We appreciated having 2 recliners also. The deck was large and gated and I think would have a sunset view in the summer. The small beach area was fun to explore and the gulf beach was really close by. The neighborhood was quiet and great for walking my 2 small pups without getting on the main road. Hubs was interested in booking again before we even left!

We rented so family could celebrate Christmas together. It was large enough for opening presents. The back yard is a dock on the bay and it is the best thing to wake and go to sleep to. The winter price was right.

We got to Sunhaven on Oct 13 and staying until the 16th. We arrived around 330pm and everyone put their belongings in their bedroom. We left and went fishing at the pier. That night around 12pm we come to the house. My daughter goes to take a shower and went to her bed which is tye room with 2 double beds and her pillow blanket and tablet is soaking wet. She alerted us. I went to check and the ceiling and bed is soaking wet. Due to discoloration there has been a leak previously. I called support line and they stated they will have someone out that next morning. Morning comes and someone from Vacasa called stating it's an AC leak and someone is coming. A guy came and pour bleach in the lines. However ever since the leal there has been a bad odor to which both my girls could not sleep in that bedroom. Another guy came that works on the AC and he said it wasn't the AC. Either way both my girls had to sleep on the couch and not once did Vacasa offer me a discount of this inconvenience it caused us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was just what we needed- neat, clean, peaceful -and Vacasa was very communicative throughout. The bathrooms particularly stood out with a rain shower and huge tub in the master. The couches in the living were perfect for afternoon naps. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect place to watch sunsets; grilled and had dinners on deck; spacious bedrooms and bathrooms; very clean and well maintained. Walked to gulf side beach but the private pier and dock, beach area on site were so perfect we stayed there most of our week. Neighborhood so quite!

We loved this little bit of paradise. It was actually windy and cool the first two days but still so enjoyable. The view from the deck and pier was amazing. The weather did not keep us from walking the beach and sitting in the sun. The cottage itself was perfect. It was spotless, the little person touches of decorations made us feel like we were home. Could love it more. Bathrooms were incredible too. We will definitely be back.

So glad we picked Sun Haven! The location is perfect and the private dock is amazing. We had small children with us so we were glad to have the little bit of beach on the bay side to explore without schlepping to the main beaches. But those were a short walk away too. House was clean, kitchen had all the basics of cookware and such, but you definitely need to pack in all your spices, oils, etc. Make sure to bring your own beach gear or rent it nearby. We’ll definitely be back!

The house was very spacious and the layout was perfect !! Master bedroom and bath are unbelievable. And, the other two bedrooms and bath are perfect for a couple and two kids. The kitchen had everything that we needed. We really enjoyed the views, the wonderful wharf and the proximity to the beach as well. Great looking and very clean....

My family of 4 (plus two large dogs) loved the home. The showers were fantastic. My favorite thing was the back deck. I loved being able to sit on the deck with the dogs. There was a gate, so they couldn’t escape. The private dock was incredible. Thank you so much for sharing the home!
