Awesome Large Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 14 stayed at Hello Sunshine , this is our third year staying in the Seagrass area and we just love it. The house was just like the photos, it’s perfect for a large family and the master suite is amazing. We loved the ocean views from the porches , the one min walk to the beach and being right next to the community pool. We can’t wait to be back next year!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pottery Barn was perfect for our girls weekend. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The house was well stocked, clean, and nicely furnished. The outdoor space was great for drinking coffee in the mornings. The walk to the beach was easy. The only complaint is that we had to come home. I love Cape San Blas and Coastal Joe. I will be back!

Enjoyed our stay but.......

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay but there were small roaches In the kitchen cabinets and in the dishwasher. We did notify you upon checkout so hopefully that has been taken care of! Other than that we had a great time. The bathroom on the main floor is very small considering it is being shared with the bunk room and another bedroom.

Hello Sunshine

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The entire process was easy. The home was beautiful, clean and just as expected from pictures. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything we needed to prepare large family meals. There were more items than expected for our use in the garage - kayak, corn hole, cooler, beach cart, boogie boards all enhanced our stay. The layout with the separate living unit worked perfectly for our group. Highly recommend this property. Our girls loved being next to the community pool and had the pool area to themselves for laying out, listening to music and playing volleyball in the pool. Love the beach just a short walk down the boardwalk right next to the house. We'll be back, but maybe beach front next time.

Great house, bad rental agency.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I stayed at the Seaglass house on our honeymoon. Everything was wonderful, except for an issue caused by Coastal Joe management on the day we arrived. My uncle and aunt went through a lot of time and expense to put together a large welcome basket for my wife and I since we were arriving late at the house. We got in around 10pm and we did not have any food or drinks in anticipation of my Aunt's basket. The rental agent was supposed to leave the basket in our house the night we arrived. Not only did that person wait until the following morning to drop it off, but then dropped it off at the wrong house. We never saw our basket. This was extremely disappointing to my wife and I and especially to my aunt and uncle. Hopefully, better management will prevent something like this from upsetting future vacationers that visit Coastal Joe properties.

A lovely expansive beach house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second time we have rented Hello Sunshine. The first was, unfortunately, due to hurricane Idalia we only stayed one night before mandatory evacuation. We decided to go back and try it again! We stayed for a visit of 8 nights and throughly enjoyed the place. It is located in a small gated community which means traffic is limited and walking the dog around the block was virtually car free in the morning. Beach access is easy and boardwalks and sidewalks are less than one city block to the beach. The kitchen is well stocked, though I would recommend bringing a couple of your own pans if you are a true chef. Most of the frying pans are old T-Fal and are scraped pretty severely. But you will find just about every utensil and appliance you will need for cooking great meals. The master bedroom is the only one we used. It is a solo suite upstairs and is quite spacious. The bed was comfortable, and there was plenty of natural light during the day. The high ceilings and natural light throughout the house make it very pleasant. The furniture is very comfortable for reading, visiting and just stretching out for a siesta. Washer and dryer are great, fridge is cold, and AC works perfectly.The detractors that we experienced were the steep stairs that led up to the front door. It would have been nice to have a lift to unload the car and groceries into. The stairs to the master are a bit of a climb, so if you are unable to climb either or both sets of stairs, this may not be the place for you. There are many porches and we really enjoyed the screened porch off the kitchen. The decks have some blistering from the sun and could do with some replaced boards and weather sealant. Nothing dangerous about them though.Overall, we would rent Hello Sunshine again. It is a great place for a couple, group of friends, or a family. I’m sure 18 people could sleep there, but I would imagine 8 to ten would be a more reasonale limit. Thank yo

February Beach Vacation 2024

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, it’s a lovely home. Our destinated house was no longer available due to water damage so we found this literally two days before we arrived! The top master suite bed sheets had not been changed, attention to cleanliness was missing. Living room furniture needs to be replaced as it is dirty & the main couch is almost impossible to sit on comfortably. The kitchen is amazing but the dining room chairs are horrible... not comfortable and every move you make “sounds” horrible!Kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The views of the sunset amazing; the porches excellent! Beach nessesities plentiful! Distance to beach perfect; neighborhood lovely! Appliances very nice. Main bathroom lighting is dark. We had to buy better bulbs. Bunkbed sheets a nightmare to change!

Great Place, For a Day

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unfortunately we came daown as Idalia was developing from a small tropical storm into the hurricane it became so we were evacuated after 1 1/2 days. The place was beautiful though and we would definitely rent it again. (I don’t want to skew the owner’s results or quality of the place for less than all 5 stars, they had no control over what happened). Cheers!

The PERFECT beach house!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the best stay at Hello Sunshine! It is right next to the community pool (which felt like our private pool) - but we didn’t use the pool a lot, as the boardwalk provided a quick path to a beautiful section of beach. We prefer beach-front, but this is definitely the next best thing at a much better weekly rate. The garage is full of beach toys and essentials that we were thankful to use (umbrellas, floats, wagons, shovels, even kayaks!) The property was well stocked for when we cooked, and almost right across the street from Skully’s for the best food when we didn’t want to cook. It was a gorgeous property and everyone had their own space at the end of the day. My teen son loved the separate “apartment” downstairs and had everything he could need there. We would return in a heartbeat!

Our best experience

This was the best experience we have had in more than ten years. Clean, spacious. Great view. We called about a few issues (leftover from previous rentals) and they took care of them promptly. This is a great alternative to the crowds in the destin area. Rules seemed strict at first because they are trying to protect their investment. No problems with any interaction.

Britney helped me and answered all of my questions promptly. The house was beautiful and very well located to the community pool (we were the only ones that used it during our stay I believe). The beach was just a short walk as well. We had plenty of room and all we needed at the house. Will definitely stay there again.

A Lot Of Frogs

For as many members of my family that went, it accommodated us well. However, we were unable to use one of the beds because of what looked like a brown stain on one of the mattresses (we were very cautious about that one). There were also quite a few frogs at night time attached to the house, so that was unexpected. Just be wary that there will be a lot of frogs greeting you once the sun starts to set. Overall, we love the location (Cape San Blas), but we will probably not be staying at this property in the future.
