The best kept secret of Florida

One of the most memorable vacations we’ve experienced. The property description is spot on when it says, the beach is the back yard. Definitely recommend.

Must stay especially with kids! Can’t beat house, proximity to beach / pool / conveniences

I usually like to try new properties, but I will absolutely book this rental again. House was spotless and kids enjoyed having it all steps away. Views were amazing and truly a place to unwind because everything is easy!

Wonderful House, Location, and Owner

Our family loved our stay here. The house is very well equipped with just about everything you could need. The location right on the beach with your own private pool was amazing. Owner was very helpful throughout our trip. Can’t wait to go back.

Winter at the Gulf

At Water’s Edge was cozy despite a winter storm that dropped snow and ice across the panhandle! The location is fantastic—right in the beach and near a store in case you forgot anything. The house is spacious, decently appointed, and has spectacular views. Downsides: we had to deal with an ant infestation; apparently they got cold and wanted to come inside! Also, the fireplace was mildly disappointing. I expected more than a glorified space heater. This would hardly matter any other time of year. Overall a great experience!

Amazing Place

This house was exactly what we were looking for. Very clean and well kept. Pool was great and beach was right there! Hated that our trip got cut short to hurricane Helene. Homeowners kept us informed of the evacuation notices and refunded our money immediately.

Excellent place to stay!

Right on the water. Options between the pool or beach was great! Especially for the the kids who wanted to play in the pool and build sand castles. Great location from the grocery store to the local stores and restaurants. Host stayed in communication and was responsive when we thought we had an issue, that turned out not to be an issue at all. Everyone agreed that this was the best place we had stayed.

Great getaway!

The property and amenities made for a wonderful, relaxing stay. Some really good local food choices and a well stocked grocery store on the cape were welcome. Very nice area if you are looking for quiet relaxation. The only slight ding we encountered was that the oven, microwave oven, and high traffic areas on the kitchen cabinet handle grab areas were missed during cleaning and had lots of fingerprints and smudges. The rest of the property was spotless. The heated pool and shuffleboard really made it for us. Would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful stay at a wonderful property!

We loved everything about this rental! The house size was perfect for our family of 6. The house was very clean, the location was great, the beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed having the private pool to use and our young adult kids loved the game room downstairs.

Best vacation home!

We had such an amazing time! It was relaxing and had so much fun stuff to do. Pool was great, loved having beach so close, and had fun playing games such as air hockey and shuffle board. Found some great shells and water was beautiful for snorkeling, body boarding, and paddle boarding. It was nice having a convenience store across the street. Cape San Blas is such a cool laid back town, and this house and wonderful host made this vacation absolutely great!
