This house had everything needed for a wonderful stay. It even had beach towels and chairs along with kids pool and beach toys. The kitchen had every pot, pan and utensil you would need. The theater was very relaxing after a long day at the beach and pool. When we had a problem with the elevator (user error) the property owner was there in under 15 minutes! We would love to stay at this property again.

Thank you so much for your kind review! It truly means a lot to hear that your family had such a wonderful stay at The Lighthouse. Were thrilled that the fully stocked house gave you and your group everything you needed for your stay! It sounds like you were able to take full advantage of everything the property has to offer, and we're especially glad the theater room provided the perfect place to unwind after long days spent enjoying the beach and pool. Thank you as well for your patience with the elevator. We're always happy to help, and we're glad we could get everything sorted out quickly so you could get back to enjoying your vacation. It was a pleasure hosting you, and knowing that you'd love to return is the highest compliment we could receive.

Great House!

This is a beautiful house in a great location. We have come to this area for several years and this has been our favorite. The access to the beach is great and even had some games for the kids to enjoy during some rainy days. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Best stay ever!

We had an unbelievable week at the Lighthouse! Three couples and 8 kids fit so comfortably and the downstairs game room and theatre were such a fun place for the kids to hang out. The house is gorgeous and so well equipped; the beach is wide and beautiful. We highly recommend this great rental and can’t wait to return!

Great Family Vacation Week

Property had exceptional amenities for children and teenagers - pool, game room, theatre room, and great layout. We began an annual tradition of spending a week at Cape San Blas when our children were young and now our week includes 10 grandchildren and visits from other family and friends. This beach house was great for this event and the best we have rented. We have already booked next year and everyone is excited about returning to this property.

Very Nice Vacation Home

This was the first time we stayed in Cape San Blas - The area was so nice and very peaceful! The house was amazing - great indoor and outdoor spaces ! The walk to the beach right outside the house was very easy and the pool was nice to have since we had double red flags all week! The game room was very well used and the bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice! I would rent this house again for sure!

Family Vacation

The Lighthouse is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. It has everything we needed and was plenty of house for 20 people. The theatre and game room were awesome for the kids. The kitchen had every thing you needed plus items for kids under 5 such as sippy cups, kids plates, pack n play, high chairs. We had red or double red flags every day so the pool was a necessity and came in huge for kids to swim in. All in all a wonderful place to stay for the week. 10 out of 10!
