    The home was beautiful, open but cozy with everything you might need! We enjoyed movies on the couch, cooking in the kitchen, and kayaking out to the gulf. It was a wonderful stay!

    This was a very cute and cozy house! Just perfect for our 2 nights stay. There was everything you needed to enjoy the outdoors (bikes, paddleboards, kayaks, etc.). Paddling thru the mangroves was awesome....we saw dolphins coming and going while cruising the canal, even saw a manatee right off the dock! Perfect setup, except for there was no en suite to either of the bedrooms and the one bathroom off the porch was a bit small. Other than that, great and we would definitely stay again! Thanks Corinne

    We were so impressed with this home and the way the host went above and beyond to ensure we would have everything we needed. The decorations were lovely, but still family friendly and not stuffy. Corinne really thought of everything you might need right down to blender for protein shakes. The beds were so comfortable and my daughter took pictures of some of the pillows so she could go home and buy them on Amazon. We go scalloping every year for 4th of July and will absolutely be back! I have never stayed in a more accommodating home. Thank you so much!

    This is a very nicely appointed 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom house. It is comfortably furnished with all the mod cons. As someone who enjoys cooking, I was so happy with the kitchen and how well equipped it is. I give it 5 stars for that.We kept our 24-foot boat on the floating dock and spent our days on the water fishing. We kept the trailer to the side of the house. The house comes with an excellent fish cleaning table, on the side of the dock. A great addition to the house's amenities and we used it. We love the location of the house and its easy access, by boat, to the Gulf. There is a fire table and comfortable outdoor seating which is lovely to sit at during the cooler nights. We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed ourselves immensely. When we return to Hernando Beach, we will definitely look to stay here again. Thank you for a great stay!

    Corinne’s extraordinary attention to details made this stay truly memorable. She could teach a master class in how to be a host. We have stayed at many VRBOs. Sunshine Escape gets my highest praise. You cannot go wrong here. It’s perfect and you will be spoiled. From the silverware to the cookware to the beds and outside furniture everything is first rate. We loved it and will definitely return.

    Surprised that Sunshine Escape was even nicer in person than online. Everything we could possible have needed was available, convenient, clean, and responsive! Attention to the smallest of details In this spacious cottage was greatly appreciate and didn’t go unnoticed. Will be planning another visit here!
