What Our Guests Say "We couldn't have asked for a more perfect vacation. The sunsets were beautiful, the weather was perfect, the house is breathtaking. We really enjoyed the pool after a long day at the beach. Our favorite parts of the trip would have to be renting the pontoon boat, the jet skis, and the fact that the beach was in walking distance. Thank you for providing the perfect escape!" — The Webb and Garland Families "We had our entire family here! How wonderful to be together. We love this cozy house. It was so much fun to stay here. Highlights: Bubble Room long walks on the beach, sunsets, and big meals at the house!" — Kara from Wisconsin "We had a wonderful time in your beautiful home. Everything was perfect! We had lots of great meals and saw lots of dolphins and manatees. Hope to come back soon!" — Deb from Kentucky "We very much enjoyed our stay at Amarelo Sol. The kids loved playing in the loft area and we loved it because we didn't have to see their toys everywhere. The weather was perfect and the beach was great at sundown. We found the house to be very close to all amenities in the area. Thanks for the recommendation to Cabbage Key - we loved the boat ride and saw lots of dolphins. Look forward to another vacation here soon!" — Kim from northern Florida "The lush grounds made us feel in a tropical paradise and your home/pool was a delight to retreat to after a good day of beach activities. We look forward to coming back" — Ed from Cathem, NJ "It was a great place to celebrate Julie's 50th birthday and we had a wonderful time. Olivia loved the pool and pool toys. The house and grounds are beautiful - we hope to come back again soon!" — Josef, Carole, Ken, Michael, Julie, & Olivia "Our third great time in this beautiful house! Fabulous weather, beach is so sweet in the early morning and the evening sunsets and moonlit nights are amazing! Thank you for another lovely time!" — The Parkers from Boston "Our six days away from work and cold Chicago were wonderful! We had 10 people in this house and fit well!" — The O'Connor Family
