Incredible House - Incredible Experience
by Robert (Bob) BaroneFrom the moment we made contact with BaskAway we were amazed at the attention, and concern they expressed to find us a property that would accommodate our Family Getaway Vacation. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and ‘immediately’ attentive to ALL of our needs and questions. We “ALL” are very impressed with this vacation realtor. I’d recommend them to ANYONE with a desire to visit this beautiful area. We’ve been vacationing in the area for over 30 years, and (as you can imagine) have had some horrific Vacation Realtor experiences. I’ve written scathing reviews. BASKAWAY has renewed my faith. They are extraordinary in every way. The staff was amazing, always anxious to help. In particular: Jen, the equipment Manager and her team bent over backward to ensure that we were happy with EVERYTHING from equipment booking and suitability to timely setup. The home “ANCHOR OF THE SOUL” itself struck us as a little pricy when we booked, but, (upon arrival), we rapidly realized that it is worth every Penny. It’s spacious, beautifully decorated, with ALL amenities you could possibly imagine. The pool area, outside kitchen, and fun additions were a very welcome enhancement to our experience. It is located perfectly ocean front, with great access to the beach, and ‘just’ close enough to ‘activity’ to be convenient. The condition of the home, and furnishings was impeccable. We didn’t have a single maintenance issue. I hope BASKAWAY continues with their superlative management and maintenance of this home because we WILL be back next year, and for years after, as long as the property and vacation realtor maintain their extraordinary level of commitment to the vacation experience. (And can maintain a reasonable rental fee). THANK YOU BASKAWAY!!!
Thank you so much for your amazing and detailed review! We’re honored to have earned your trust and thrilled you loved Anchor of the Soul and our team’s service. We can’t wait to welcome you back for many more wonderful vacations!
Family Beach Week
by Joseph L.Great
Thank you!!
Amazing Vacation Rental fit for a crowd
by Claudia M.This well kept home is awesome, and I say home instead of house because that is how it feels. You can tell the owners use the house as well. It is very well stocked. More than enough dishes, plenty of kitchen items including 3 crock pots, 2 waffle irons, tons of large stock pots, a Keurig coffee maker as well as 2 with cone shaped filters. The beds were comfortable and most of the bedrooms quiet. There is plenty of refrigeration space for food and drinks! There is also an industrial ice maker that kept up with us (we use a lot!). The small refrigerator outside by pool was a great convenience. The pool has a big shallow end that was great for our several 1 year olds and little kids. It says 8 parking spaces but we had 12 cars and had plenty of room.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so happy the home felt like a true home-away-from-home and had everything your group needed. Glad the pool and amenities worked so well for everyone—we’d love to host you again!
Fabulous Family Trip
Just want to say Thank You to Bask Away and the owners of this amazing home. We were notified 1 day before our trip that the elevator in the original house booked was down and they were waiting for a part. Since we were traveling with my 23 year son with disabilities and my 94/92 year old parents, an elevator was a must. Bask Away relocated us into this wonderful house within 1/2 day and was in constant text communication to assure us a nice vacation. Would definitely recommend Bask Away to others looking for beach rentals.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad we could accommodate you and ensure a smooth stay. We’d love to host you again!
Anchor of the Soul was so good for our souls
by Shannon S.Beautiful house and amenities, lived the stocked kitchenware! Everyone really loved the house. The staff was accommodating and pleasant.
Thank you for the kind words! We're glad you all loved the house and had a great experience with our team.
Great trip
AMAZIN! We will be back
by Harold B.Our family stayed at this beautiful home for my great aunt’s 90th birthday, and it was nothing short of amazing! The house itself was stunning, offering the perfect setting for us to create memories that will last a lifetime. Seeing my grandmother so happy made the trip even more special.
The views were absolutely breathtaking, and visiting in January was a wonderful choice—we got to experience the beauty of the area without the crowds. As the family planner, I can confidently say this will be my go-to spot for future gatherings.
A huge thank you to Amber for being such an incredible point of contact and to the entire Bask team for ensuring our stay was perfect. We cannot wait to return! (Review written by Shyra)
Thank you, Shyra, for your lovely review! We're so glad to hear that your family had an amazing time celebrating your great aunt’s 90th birthday and that the home provided the perfect backdrop for creating lasting memories. We look forward to welcoming you back for future gatherings! A big thank you from Amber and the entire Bask team!
AMAZINGLY PEACEFUL PLACE
by Amilcar M.The house was exactly as described, we were delighted to find a place so peaceful, so clean and spacious. We had a blessed time in this property and our big group of 40 enjoyed an amazing retreat. Thank you for having a place like this. “People of the Kingdom deserve kingdom places”
I definitely recommend this place and would like to rent it again in the future.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that the house met your expectations and that your group had such a blessed time during your retreat. It was truly a pleasure having you stay, and we’re so glad the space worked well for your large group. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we'd be honored to welcome you back in the future. "People of the Kingdom deserve kingdom places" is such a beautiful sentiment—thank you for sharing that with us. We look forward to hosting you again!
Thank you so much for the use of Anchor of the Soul.
by Gary W.Gary W is the person who handled the down payment. My name is Vince Varriale and I had the blessing to plan the retreat for our Evangelism Explosion team. My dear friends , pastors and Evangelist came from OK, AL, FL, GA LA. These men and their wives totally enjoyed this wonderful house. The only down fall was that the elevator stopped working on the last day when the 18 guest had to get their luggage, food and drinks down from the 4th, 3rd and 2nd floors. some had a extremely hard time. Christi, her handyman, and Sharon were so nice, it was a joy working with them. Just so you know Robby found the problem with the elevator, is was a surge protector that is on the 4th floor. Blessings to you and the owners.
Thank you so much Vince and thank you for sharing the beautiful photos from your stay! We truly enjoyed hosting your group!
This place was AMAZING!!!
by KennethWe had 20 of us headed to a vacation when we were called by another company that cancelled our reservation two hours before check in time. We called Bask Away and the team was incredibly helpful and accommodating. We ended up at Anchor of the Soul. The first thing that jumped out when we entered the home was the furnishings and decoration. This house was beautifully done. The beds were all comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and everything we needed was in the home. We loved the space which allowed us to be close, but also allowed for some alone time to reflect. There were great gathering spots where we could all be together, but there were lots of smaller spaces where you could have more intimate conversations with a few friends. It was the most relaxing place that I\'ve been to in a long time. The views were amazing. Although it was too cold to use the pool, it was beautiful. I loved the outdoor kitchen as well as the two kitchens in the home. Absolutely loved this place and will definitely be back for a future visit.
This makes us so happy! We are so happy it all worked out and you enjoyed your stay!
