Good vacation stay

This was a nice place to stay for a quiet beach vacation. The house was clean and the walk to the beach only took a couple of minutes. The only complaint would be the black stone grill. It’s offered in the listing and we thought it would be clean but it was extremely dirty.

Saltwater Joy - Cape San Blas

The property description is accurate to relieve your mind on listing accuracy. The property is nicely situated near the State Park for bay access and then short walk to the Gulf beach. There is an outside hose and shower for rinsing sand prior to entering the property. An enjoyable location and accommodations.

Wonderful place

Loved staying here! Walk to beach about 5 mins. Back deck has beautiful view. House is very comfy but could use a small update to cooking vessels and propane was out but greatly enjoyed our stay. Pool is nice and loved the community and amenities. Very dog friendly. Would 100% stay here again.

Great family spot

We has a great time at Cape San Blas in general, and this condo was perfect for our family of 5 and 2 dogs. Everyone had plenty of space, the beds are comfortable and kitchen is well equipped. It is a little bit of a walk to the beach access, but with comfortable beach shoes we made do. Maybe rent a golf cart next time? We hope to come back soon!

Weekend getaway

From the moment we booked up to when we checkout. The communication was on point. We had an issue with the place we originally booked, and they was right on it making sure we had a new place to stay! We came down for Labor Day weekend and brought our dog Andy with us. He had the best time and loved meeting all the other doggies! The location and area is just beautiful. We definitely will be back!

Had A Great Time!

Loved the location, and just a short walking distance to the beach. The carpet in the bedrooms really need a good cleaning or replaced and the bathroom floor mats were bad but we just washed them ourselves. Kitchen could use a few more items as well. But for the price and overall stay we loved it and definitely worth it! And quick response when we needed the propane tank refilled too!
