We absolutely loved this house! It was gorgeous from top to bottom. We enjoyed every day walking right onto the beach and every evening watching the sunset from the porch! It truly was the most wonderful escape for our family!

Just book it

If you can’t decide…choose this place The photos in the listing do not do this home justice. It is very nice. It is fully stocked with everything you will need. Beautiful home. Tons of stuff close by. State park, restaurants, the tradin’ post, Seafood markets, beach rentals. Even more stuff in Port St. Joe and it’s not far, at all. Plenty of stuff to do, buy and eat if you want Now for the meat and potatoes. The view from the main room and the two west side bedrooms is stunning. I didn’t include the porch in that sentence because it deserves a couple of it’s own. The porch is unbelievable. It’s 50 or so feet long by ten or so feet wide. The full length of the home. Fully screened in with comfortable furniture to lounge while you gaze at the spectacle before you. The back porch was my favorite room The beach is flat and pretty empty. There is a nature preserve/park just south of the house. There are folks that come to the beach from that park but there are no houses. Beach feels very private Sunsets, you say? Wow. Rivals any I’ve witnessed through my travels along the gulf coast and elsewhere. Seriously, you need to make sure you’re on the beach when it’s going down Had one of my full grown youngsters shed a tear or two when we were leaving Saturday morning. That hasn’t happened in SEVERAL years. That’s when you know you hit the jackpot. Thank you for that Worth every penny and then some Just book it

Relaxing week on the Beach

We had a great stay at this house. The house was very spacious for five people, with beautiful views of the beach from almost every room. Very quiet section of the beach which was nice. We had a great time and it was very relaxing.

The Best Kept Secret on the Cape

Quite literally, the most perfect vacation I could have ever hoped for. The house/property was immaculately kept, the views were to die for, the beach was absolutely pristine, and Carol & Phil are just about the most beautiful, down-to-earth, kind, generous human beings I have ever had the privilege to know. They go above and beyond to ensure your happiness and overall satisfaction with everything. You literally couldn't want for anything more.... thank you, thank you, thank you... truly the best vacation of my life and I'm so glad that I got to spend it here. Carol & Phil... thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my dream come true. You will forever be in our thoughts and prayers. ❤️

Amazing place and Amazing Stay

If you're looking for great views and a beautiful house for your vacation, you can't go wrong. This was our second year here and I will always want to return again! Phil and Carol are great hosts, very responsive if you need them for anything. We actually had a storm come through during our stay and something needed attention afterwards. Within less than an hour after my very early AM call (which Carol answered) the issue was fixed and they even came to check on us a little later that morning. You can't ask for more than that. I would highly recommend this for a perfect get away!

Awesome Week

This is a great property, location and host. The property looked exactly like the pictures. Everything was perfect for our spring break getaway with family and friends. Carol, the host was awesome and responded exceptionally quickly to anything we needed and asked. Cape San Blas is a great area with beautiful beaches and food nearby. Excellent week and highly recommend the area and this property. We will be back and love to stay with this host again.

Absolutely PERFECT!

I booked this trip over a year ago. I was so scared because we have never visited Cape San Blas. We have been beaching for years, but had never heard of this "forgotten island". But, this beach surpassed our expectations!! AND The HOUSE could not have been more perfect for our first visit. It is so beautiful inside and out!! The appliances, the tools for everything is in the house organized and ready! Ms. Carol & Mr. Phil were always willing to make suggestions and recommendations. Private beach area, we felt like we were on a private island, and the porch overlooking the ocean.... just perfect... we will be back!

Paradise perfection

We have been coming to the Gulf for 25 years at least and this property is now #1 on our list! Everything was perfect! Upscale furnishings, appliances and decor. Very clean, beds are comfortable and rental is well stocked. The view from the porch is unbelievable especially at sunset. Carol and Phil are very welcoming and attentive to everything being perfect for your stay. We were made to feel like family. The only negative thing was having to leave paradise. Thank you, Phil and Carol!

Great Location!

Our family had a wonderful time staying at this property and Carol and Phil were on top of everything. The location and access to the beach was the best feature. We could easily walk back and forth between the house and beach which made it very nice with having younger kids. The space was efficient and kitchen was great for preparing meals. We were sad to leave and hope to come back again soon.

I don’t even know where to begin

Several incidents occurred that took away from our enjoyment of this property. First, upon entering the house, we saw shattered glass all around the place. A glass panel in the loft had broken before we arrived. Glass was in the great room and the master bedroom including in the sofa and the master bed. I immediately called Carol and she said that she would send Marcos out to deal with it. Marcos came pretty quickly. Later the police showed up and then the cleaning person. The place was crawling with people , so we had to go out to eat for dinner. That was taken care of and Carol did not charge us for that day. The next day, we noticed that there were dead bugs everywhere. They were in the trash cans, the toilets, the showers and in the corners of every room. Carol offered to send Marcos out to clean them up, but I had already done that myself, because my daughter was so grossed out by the shear amount of dead bugs there were. As I thought about the glass and the bugs it made me wonder about when was the last time someone actually cleaned the place. It was obvious that it had not been recently, or the cleaning people would have taken care of the glass and the bugs. Then, 4 days into our trip, we were awakened by the noise of a dump truck and a front loader on our beachfront. They were dumping sand onto the property. By the next day, we realized that this project would make it very difficult for us to access the beach in front of us. We chose this house because of its easy access to the beach. The sand that was dumped created an 8 foot drop to the gulf front. Our group consisted of 2 70+ year olds with knee problems, a 40 year old with muscular dystrophy, an 8 year old with a broken arm and a 2 year old. The drop off made it very difficult to go to and from the house from the beach. The workers claim that all the owners were made aware of this project. Carol claims she did not know when it was to take place. All in all, the view was beautiful, but the house is not conducive to having small children or anyone with any physical limitations.
