Great October beach stay!

We had originally booked an October trip to Siesta Key but had to quickly look for a different option due to Hurricanes Helene and Milton. We were not disappointed with our choice to book with Andy and Travis in Cape San Blas! The house was perfect. Close to the beach, and the golf cart made our beach days so easy. The house was clean and well-appointed. We would definitely book here again!

Perfect Beach House

Great stay! Beach access was only a short walk away but we also used the golf cart to get there too. Loved the house and appreciated the communication from the owners during the hurricane! House was clean and exactly what was described. Definitely recommend.

Great week on the Cape

We really enjoyed our stay. It was our first vacation with our 2yr old dog and we couldn't have asked for a better property. Knowing that the house is dog friendly I was actually really surprised by the cleanliness of it. I expected normal bits of dog hair here and there from previous stays but the place was really clean. The golf cart to get supplies to and from the beach was huge plus. The two restaurants, Longbills and Coneheads, are extremely close to the property and both were really good. I had a question about the golf cart so I messaged the host and instead of messaging me back he actually called me and we chatted for a few minutes and he couldn't have been nicer. Overall this place was great and the host's were great. It was our first time on the Cape and we would definitely not hesitate to go back and if we do this will be the first property we check the availability on. Thanks for having us guys!

Family vacation with pet

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunny Paws. The host was very responsive to messages. The location of the property was a perfect distance between the bay and the beach. The option to eat at Long Bills Restaurant next door was very convenient. Would definitely recommend this property.

Perfect place and great for pets!

House was perfect! Big rooms and extremely comfortable beds. House had it all, and the fenced in yard was great for our dogs! Short walk/drive to beach and golf cart was great to ride down to the bay. Most importantly the host are great, respond to you within no time at all. They answered all of our questions with no hesitation and very nice. Highly recommend this property! Thanks for having us!!

The perfect house for a family getaway

The house was clean and super cute. We loved being able to find a place that was dog friendly with a fenced in yard. It wasn’t a bad walk to the beach and taking the golf cart was a huge plus. We couldn’t find the bay access but could’ve been user error. I loved sitting on the deck and reading at night. It was the perfect place for us !

My stay on “The Cape”

I recently vacationed in Cape San Blas, FL. My stay at Sunny Paws was beyond exceptional. I arrived to a spacious rental just minutes from the beach. The property was clean. It was peaceful. And it worth every penny. Andy and Travis have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and memorable.

Cute house decorated beautifully. 25 years of staying in rentals, this house had the most comfortable beds we've had slept on. The Host was very responsive and went over and above our expectations to make our stay excellent. Looking forward to staying again next year.

Nice Home / Update Amenities

Our overall experience with our beach trip was a good one. The house was very clean and roomy for our group of 4 adults. The location on Cape San Blas was also what we were looking for and as advertised. We did have an issue with the amenities advertised. We did not have access to the golf cart as it was being repaired. However, Pioneer Ridge Vacations made good on that with a credit offer from a rental shop on Cape San Blas. Which we appreciated. We were disappointed in the condition of the beach gear that went with the rental. The beach umbrella and canopy were not usable. The umbrella fell apart when we took it out. All of the upper tines were disconnected from the top of the umbella. The canopy also has issues with the arms falling out of the main center post. The plastic on it was broken which kept the arms from staying in place. We had to rent beach gear. The beach chairs and bikes were also very rusted. We had to fix one of the bike handle bars before we could use it. One of the reasons for choosing that house was use of amentities. We all liked the house and location just disappointed in the condition of the amenities. I would suggest that those things are taken a look at monthly or beginning of season to make sure they are usable. If that is done then this would be a 5 star location. If those amenities are not what you need for your trip then this is a great spot. And working with Pioneer Ridge Vacations was very easy to do.

Sunny Paws

We enjoyed our stay at Sunny Paws! Andy was more than accommodating and was so easy to work with when we ran into some roadblocks with my recently broken foot. He was an incredible host, and we appreciate his hospitality more than he knows! The house was as described and exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed riding the golf cart to LongBills for dinner (excellent seafood and pizza) and loved the screened in porch for evening card games! The fenced in yard was a MAJOR bonus for our pup! The house is so clean and well stocked and was the perfect place for our summer get-a-way! I highly recommend Sunny Paws for your next vacay!

A little piece of paradise

This was our first beach vacation taking our dog. Cape San Blas and this property are very dog friendly. I was a bit disappointed that we couldn’t enjoy the fenced in backyard because it was full of stickers and sand spurs. This property is convenient to everything and well stocked.

Quiet and Relaxing Vacation

This was our first time on Cape San Blas and we thoroughly enjoyed this special place. The beach was just across the street and we liked the variety of restaurants that were nearby - especially Weber’s donut shop! The house worked out great and Andy was very responsive to our needs. All in all this was a wonderful vacation for us. Thanks again for everything Andy!
