About this property

DIXIE'S DELIGHT Ocean Front, Pet Friendly Home Directly on the Gulf of Mexico

This home has been completely restored.

If you need a vacation far from the maddening crowds and back to nature, this is almost paradise. It's the best place to walk for miles along the sandy-white beach, highly rated by Dr. Beach, on the Forgotten Coast of Florida. You can walk by the beach at our home, or just across the street is the beautiful Saint Joseph Bay where you can snorkel and explore. Did we mention that we have all the gear you need for the beach in the outdoor beach gear room down below with chairs, grill, boogie boards and more.

Dixie's Delight is a beautifully decorated 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, dog-friendly town home located on the beachfront on North Cape San Blas. This home provides free WIFI. Watch the sun rise from the bay side bedroom balcony and then watch it set from the swing on the screened porch, or from the upper level balcony. It has fabulous views of the low density, sugar white sand beaches and the luster of the blue-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

The main level is one large area comprising the living room, dining area and kitchen, with views of the Gulf from anywhere in this room. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you will need including a blender, slow cooker, mixer and more. The glass doors open onto a large screened porch with a swing. There is also a half bath on this level.

All three bedrooms with brand new luxury sheets on the beds and two full sized baths are located on the upper level. The king master is located on the gulf front with a walk-out to an upper balcony. This room has a private bathroom. The second bedroom has a full bed. The third bedroom is located on the bay side of the home. This bedroom has a king sized bed and a walk-out balcony with views of the bay. An additional full bathroom is located on this level.

Great rental
The only one of two things were that the cleaners were still there at 5:00 pm so we had to wait and could not get in at the time that we were supposed to…. There was a strong cigarette smell from the balcony… ASIDE from that…. the rental itself was lovely, great bedrooms…. w

The good, the bad, the ugly.
So I want to start off by saying this one of the best beach vacations our family has ever had. We love Cape San Blas, and the Forgotten Coast. There are some issues with this place, some that little can be done about, and others that should be addressed. The Bad: This condo is directly on the shore line, not the beach. There was never any sand in front of the building while we were there. We were able to access the left side of the building only. The stairs going down to the beach were in no way safe. The sand is constantly moving under the base of the stairs, and this causes it to be questionable about which is the best way up. From what I heard while there, they’re trying to get some beach remediation to protect building from erosion. There are many buildings on the Cape that have been lost over the years to erosion, and storms, I hope they’re able to fix this issue. The condo itself is nice, the beds were comfortable, but the main level had dog hair everywhere, I didn’t notice it in the bedrooms, but it was all over the living area, and screen porch. If you are allergic to dogs I would not rent this place. We are dog people, so we didn’t let the hair ruin anything, but for others it would be a deal breaker. The rental company also had horrible communication. The only way you can get in touch with them is by calling. They never responded to a message on VRBO, or from email. The Good: The views at this place are amazing, you have 3 levels of deck in front of the house, and a balcony overlooking the bay on the other side. We enjoyed each deck, and saw so much marine life, you are so close you can hear the dolphins squeak. You are also on about a half mile of nearly private beach. There was a weber charcoal grill that we used a couple of time, and they also had about 4 beach chairs for use. Overall if the issues that I mentioned are fixed we would return in a heartbeat.

DID NOT MEET EXPECTATIONS
When we booked this property in January, there was a lot of "sandy beach" in front of the property. We visioned putting our beach chairs right in front of the condo and enjoying "beach front". A week before we left for our trip, we looked at the website and found updated photos of the property which had no beach front. Contacted VRBO who was no help (with a costly fee from VRBO you would think they would want to make us happy, plus Sandy Shoes fee). VRBO referred us to Sandy Shoes who haven't called us back. I talked to "Gordon" with my concerns. I am still waiting for "Gordon" to call me back with my concern. Attempted to cancel through our insurance we purchased but no guarantee it would be refunded. . Stove was dirty and some dog hair around. Because of the $5,000 investment, we had no alternative but to go. There was only one access to the west side of the beach. In the evening when the "tide" was low we were able to walk in front of the condo to the other side of the beach. The stairway to the beach on the west side of the property landed no where and was cautioned taped off. I have been in the customer service business a long time, and there was no customer service here.
