Wonderful!

The property was spacious, well equipped and provided literally everything we needed for a great trip to the Cape. The beds are so comfortable, and it was so nice not to have to pack beach towels and chairs. Will definitely be back to “the blue beach house at the ocean water” as my granddaughter dubbed it!

Relaxing Week

Came to the house with extended family and it had everything we needed. It was a very short walk to a beach that was not busy with people and the pool was perfect for those done with the sand. There was a slight issue with the fridge that was taken care of immediately. It was a wonderful location that we hope to book again!

It is a perfect start to the summer.

We love coming here every year at the beginning of the summer. It is a perfect house for a group of friends or a large family. It is relaxing and convenient. The pool is wonderful. The screen in porch on the top floor is always in use. The kitchen is a wonderful gathering spot and fully equipped.

5 stars for Stealin' Sunshine

Great beach house in an awesome location. It’s just steps to the beach, which made going back and forth incredibly easy. The house is spacious with plenty of room and lots of parking. The elevator was a huge help for luggage, groceries, and especially our disabled dog. Our favorite spot was the third-floor screened deck — perfect for relaxing and watching the sunset. The heated pool was a great bonus, and we really appreciated that the property is dog-friendly since we travel with dogs. Overall, a fantastic place to stay. We’ve stayed here multiple times and plan to come back again.

Our top rated stay at Port St Joe

Very clean property, very new, all appliances and furnishings were outstanding, elevator was a little cantankerous but it worked most of the time. Great layout of rooms and very close to beach. We had a great week-three families.

Great time on Cape San Blas

We had a great stay at Stealin Sunshine on the northern end of Cape San Blas. Property was a short walk to the beach and had everything you need in a rental property for 4 couples. The beach was not crowded at all and the outdoor shower was great for rinsing off after a day in the sand and surf. The pool was great for a small group and plenty of space to chill while taking a break from the beach

Great house in great location!

Had a great time at Stealin' Sunshine. Super easy and quick walk to beach. House very well stocked with kitchen essentials and beach gear. Location is awesome since very close to two popular restaurants for eating out or picking up. Definitely recommend this home!

Great Beach House

Our family of 8 adults and 3 children had a great time at Stealin’ Sunshine. Loved the location. The house was clean and we had plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. It was an easy 2 minute walk to the beach. We also enjoyed the pool when everyone was done at the beach. We will definitely be back if I can get the whole family together next year.

Upper Island Peace with perfection

This house is amazing!!! Truly suited for a great family stay. My husband and I stayed for just a quick getaway and scope out for summer 2025 family reunion and it met ALL my expectations. The owner is such a pleasure to work with! I could not ask for more, except to not take my week in the summer😉

Booking Again for 2026!!

This will be our 4th year to stay at Stealin' Sunshine (Our 6th year on Cape San Blas). Hands down Stealin' Sunshine is in the best location. Short walk to the beach on a private cul de sac. The other families that share this location will become your friends because it is really just you and them. As for the house.......... it has everything you need and it is clean! The owners are amazing and always respond promptly to any requests. You will not be disappointed in this house. Oh! and the pool is bigger than most.
