Our biggest disappointment was with the pool. The water was murky and a lot of stuff floatimg in the water. I did reach out to Harris Properties to inquire about th issue. They did reach out to the HOA who said the water was fine. I had a 1 and 3 yr old with us and was concerned for their well being.

Girls Weekend Fun!

Stayed at Kissed by the Sun for a girls trip. The house was perfect and came exactly as advertised. Comfortable furniture and beds. Decor was beachy and well put together. The walk to the beach is pretty short and very centrally located to any and all there is to do in the area. You will want to note there are no beach towels or chairs. And no extras-we got one roll of toilet paper in each bath, no hairdryers, one dishwasher pod etc. We had a lovely stay and will have great memories from our super fun trip!!!

Kissed by the sun

Great location and a beautiful, clean house with lots of space. We loved being able to walk to the beach and the pool is right next to the unit (though it’s a shared community pool).A few things could have made the stay better—there wasn’t enough toilet paper or hand soap, and when I asked for more, they said it was on us to supply it. After some back and forth, they offered to bring some, but only on our last day. Also, no pool towels, beach chairs, or beach toys provided, which was surprising given the price and the fact it’s a beach rental with a pool advertised.Overall, we had a good stay, but a few added touches and better communication would’ve really elevated the experience.

Great house. Close to beach.

Overall the house was great. Close to the beach, shops, and restaurants. Our kids loved it and the pool right next door. Very spacious and updated. Could have been cleaner (floors were dirty upon arrival, mattress protectors were stained on some of the beds, blood stains on extra pillows in the master closet). With a little extra cleaning the house would definitely be perfect!

Very nice clean property in a fabulous location. It was great to have the pool right next to us for early morning swims and the beach was just a short walk away. The beds could definitely use an upgrade and it would be nice to have better quality towels and toilet paper.

Wonderful stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Kissed by the Sun! There were a few things that needed maintenance but they responded quickly and fixed the issues in a timely manner. The walk to the beach was very close and easy! The kitchen cookware was not great, but it was sufficient. The pool was a very nice amenity when you needed a break from the beach. Overall, it was an excellent home for our family vacation!

Prime Hangout festival location

We stayed here for the hangout music fest and it was the perfect location! Walking distance. The place was beautiful and slept our entire group comfortably. I did rate cleanliness as 4 stars because while the place looked clean, the floors were actually very dirty and our feet were black after walking barefoot around the house.
