Our family loves Cape San Blas and this has been our favorite home. The home is owned by a private family versus a property manager or corporation, and the love they put into it shows. It was impeccably clean and very well appointed throughout. Although small, the kitchen was efficient and made cooking for our entire family easy. It was also stocked with everything we needed, including ample dishware and storage space. The icemaker and dishwasher worked (priorities), as did all other appliances. The dining area easily accommodated six, with room for others at the kitchen island/counter. After finding a disappointing grill at so many other VRBO stays, we were thrilled to find a clean Weber with a full tank of propane for our grilling pleasure.
The living room sat six adults comfortably, while additional folks can easily see the television or participate in a conversation from the dining room table or kitchen (open concept). There was a large smart TV for movie night with the family, when we weren’t out taking in the gorgeous sunset.
Both king suites were comfortable, especially the one with the large soaking tub. The kids’ room was a bit tight, with two sets of bunk beds, but still had a private, attached bath. Kids wouldn’t spend much time in there anyway, given that the beach is in view.
The living room and each bedroom has its own balcony, and the three balconies on the back of the house (living room and two main bedrooms) had a great view of the turtle pond and at least some view of the gulf. The third-floor view was the best.
The owner and home are baby and dog friendly too. We traveled with a 16-month-old toddler who makes huge messes while eating, and we brought along our dogs as well. There were rugs throughout for the dogs to camp out on, and the floors were easy to clean of the baby’s food (what the dogs didn’t hoover up). The homeowners also provided two expandable child gates to place in front of the stairways to prevent falls by either baby or dogs. It was a nice touch.
The homeowner reached out prior to, during, and after our stay in ensure that everything was as expected and to see if we needed anything. Check-in and check-out were super-simple too.
If I could give higher than a 5-star review, this would certainly be one.
Thank you for a wonderful stay!
