The place was great! A suggestion; make sure shower is cleaned properly with no hair in drain. Also purchase better towels. Other than that the stay was great and exactly what we needed. Not to big and not to small. Just right!. Thank you again.

Cute for a short trip

Stayed here with my partner for a week. It is very cute, but very small (especially the bathroom), and you are only provided three towels (two bath towels and one hand towel) with no laundry, so they smelled a little musty by the end of the trip. Couch was uncomfortable, but bed was okay. AC does not reach bedroom; there are two fans, but we were still quite warm. Good for a short trip, but maybe not for a full week.

Disliked: Cleanliness
In a rough looking neighborhood not one i think is good for night life. The shower head was large but about half of the water holes were clogged with calcium build-up and did not work. The water never got hotter then room temperature and the water quality was so bad it irritated our skin so we only tried to take 1 shower. The kitchen and living room was clean and nice. The bedroom was very hot and uncomfortable to sleep in. When we got here there was someone else's body hair all on the bed and my pillow had snot crusty all over it. It was very disgusting. We ended up only getting there at like 12am Friday night and on Saturday we ended up leaving to head home earlier because we could not sleep it was so uncomfortable. I understand this is someones income but it was a horrible experience in our opinions. The host was very ontop of the information giving it to us and i feel bad but this was our honest opinion. We will not be back.

About the host

Hosted by Sylvia & Bert

Host profile image
My husband, son and I have been Atlanta residents for for 24+ years, living in the Morningside neighborhood. Bert is on the faculty at Georgia Tech, I am a residential realtor with Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's, and our son, Jackson, is studying in Los Angeles. We love dogs, hiking, cars, dogs, gardening, traveling, cooking, and dogs (did we say dogs?). Bert is Dutch, I am Colombian, and Jackson is Atlanta-born and raised. We have two large mutt dogs -- Phoebe (106 pounds), Austin (84 pounds) and one cat, Nellie (9 pounds).

Why they chose this property

Our friends Anne & Jim turned us on to Cape San Blas because we were looking for a dog friendly beach. We immediately fell in love with CSB due to the very laid-back vibe, being surrounded by both the Bay and the Gulf, the white-sand beach, the delicious seafood, plus the very friendly locals. What more could we ask for?! It is our place to unwind and de-stress. We plan our day around the sunset -- Cape San Blas has the best!

What makes this property unique

Our favorite things at CSB are the quiet, low-key relaxed feeling, kayaking on the Bay, local oysters/shrimp/grouper/tuna dip, long dog walks on the beach, bike-riding on the 8-mile trail, hiking at the Stump Hole and at St. Joe State Park, shopping at Apalachicola, the local beer (Oyster City brewery), early morning donuts at Weber's, the convenience of Tradin' Post general store, and, of course, the sunsets from the porch!
