Fall Break Beach Trip

The location was wonderful The views were spectacular. The pool was great. The ramp to the beach was nice. the floors were beautiful. The condo needs to be updated. The doors were difficult to lock. The blinds were broken. Some of the skillets were very worn. The cookie sheets were very worn. The property exterior needs painting. This condo has so much potential. The layout is great.

Great views, run down condo

The pros: THE VIEWS! You have 3 balconies all with beautiful views. Even though it was a little cool while we were there, the pool area is very nice. It was a nice size and clean. The easy walk to the beach was also a pro! The cons: This is an older and outdated condo. There is nothing wrong with older if it is kept up nicely. Unfortunately, this place could use quite a bit of work. The doors to the balconies don't shut well and don't lock at all. This lead to the balcony door coming open twice during the middle of the night during our stay. Some of the blinds are broken. The high traffic areas were clean, but this place really needs a deep cleaning and maybe some replacing of some things.

Great vacation spot on the water

We really enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and had all the basic necessities. The view was amazing from all three floors balconies. Easy access to beach and pool. The corner spot in the front row of the complex was superb. I hesitate to give it such a great review because then others will want to stay here. We had a few hiccups along the way, but the owners were very easy to contact. The top floor did not seem to get as cool as the other floors. My note to future renters would be to bring a fan. There was a fan already provided along with a powerful ceiling fan. But my hot natured family members who stayed in the top room utilized all the fans plus their own. I especially appreciate the hypoallergenic covers on the pillows since my son has a severe dust mite allergy. That is a rare find in vacation rentals. Also, it was nice that the place had some extra beach towels on hand for use.

Rustic Beach Cottage built into the beach

We had an incredible stay - what makes this property so special is that it is built into the dunes and sitting on the back patio was generally better than being on the beach because you were right there on the water - 270 degree views across the entire side of the property are incredible. The location also is quiet and pet / family friendly.

Best Thanksgiving

We have been thinking about Thanksgiving at the beach for years, and this year we decided to do it. The condo was great and right on the beach. The weather, except for one day, was outstanding. We had a great Thanksgiving. If you're looking for a relaxing stay at the beach away from all the usual beach stuff, Cape San Blas is perfect. It is not crowded. There are no beach chair/umbrella concessions taking up the entire beach. You can set up your tent by the water. You can take your dogs with you to the beach. The water and beach are beautiful. You can have a bonfire on the beach. It's outstanding.

Amazing Views

The space was more than enough and the views from every room were amazing. This location was fully stocked with everything we needed. You don’t have to bring a single thing for the beach unless you just prefer your own. They had bicycles, beach umbrellas, beach chairs, beach toys, firewood, and to me most importantly a wagon to carry all of your things down to the beach. The beds were very comfortable. It was everything we had hoped for and MORE!!!

Old townhouse

This townhouse is old. It is located at the furthest end of the Cape. The description and photos are not exactly as described. The jacuzzi tub that overlooks the ocean is old with mold and mildew. I had to contact the owner in order to figure out how to get the shower to work. The faucet is coming away from the wall and appears to have been somewhat repaired with caulk, but it is still loose. We were so glad that we figured out the shower because there is no way I would sit down in that tub. There was a Plastic tub under the sink to catch water. I am glad I discovered it because it was full of water and we had only been there for one day. Unlike other reviews, we did not have an issue with water pressure The third level is a good 10° hotter than the lower levels. We found a fan in the closet, which desperately needs to be cleaned or better yet replaced. None of the doors leading out to the balconies locked. The glass door on the second story was broken and there was a note tape to it to be careful. The kayaks mentioned are in poor condition. The bicycles had flat tires. We were able to find a pump after we rummaged around in the outdoor toy storage room. This room needs to be cleaned up and organized. There was old wood, ropes, trash, etc., in the parking area under the townhouse. We had to move things out of the way in order to park under the townhouse. Wish I could add photos!

Exactly What We Needed!

As a family that typically vacations in the more touristy areas of Fort Walton, PCB, etc. we weren't sure what to expect from the Cape-but we LOVED it! The house was pretty much just as described, and we loved the views in each room! The leftover/provided items were a great addition-especially the beach cart! My son used it every day to haul his fishing gear down to the shore, along with the rest of our beach things. The beds were all comfortable (although the mattress/mattress topper in the 3rd floor bedroom may be needing to be replaced soon) and we had plenty of room for all of us to be comfortably lazy as we relaxed throughout the unit (My husband and I, 21 year old son, 17 year old son, 16 year old son, and 10 year old son). One thing to note is that due to there being no "chair guy" on this beach, everyone sets up their own chairs. People were claiming their spot on the beach as early as 5:30am and the front row was pretty much filled by 7:30, so make sure to send someone out early if it's a busy time of year! My son was up fishing every morning around 5 so it wasn't an issue for us. The shells on the beach were incredible. We found so many complete shells on this trip. The beach was clean and the water was clear. The only thing that was a slight bummer was the distance to a full grocery store. 30 mins was a bit of a trek- so plan accordingly. The general stores nearby were nice in a pinch though. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip and will definitely be back!

Amazing house with amazing views…

I have no choice but to be honest and say this house is amazing!!! The kitchen is high functional with everything you need! All three floors come with great views! There were beach toys and chairs available in case you forgot your own. Only a short walk to the sand. The entire feel of the house was great! Already checking dates for the next trip!!!

Best Cape San Blas Beach View Ever

This was a wonderful place to stay. Hosts were highly responsive, the view was the best, and it was nice having an end unit. Such a perk to have kayaks, bikes, and a wagon because it was less for us to have to haul down there. Would definitely recommend this place and would stay there again. Items that I appreciate when they work well: A/C, hot water, and an ice maker. Those boxes were checked and greatly used! :)

About the host

Hosted by Amelia Harrell

Host profile image
We love the Cape and bought this Seacliffs townhome in 1997. We were soon packing up and driving down from Atlanta as often as possible. In 1999, we had the opportunity to rent our Atlanta home and moved to the Cape as full-time residents till 2002 for 5 years, now it is a full time rental, so we can share this wonderful and amazingly special piece of paradise.

Why they chose this property

As we lived in the unit, we dreamed of improvements we could make it more like a house than a town-home. We soon gutted it and one thing led to another. I remember when David drove up with a trailer of 150-year reclaimed heart pine from a demolished plantation, that became our first floor. He laid every piece with great care. We have a photo album of some of the renovation projects in the TV cabinet. It was truly the proverbial labor of love. It continues to this day as we are always updating and trying to make it even more user-friendly and accomodating.

What makes this property unique

This end unit has 25 windows with expansive views from every single room. Because of the privacy and stunning views, it feels more like a house than part of a development. It's fun to cook and hang out and you have the feeling that the outside is inside.
