Perfect beach, perfect location, clean interior, no funky smells
Property was clean, the location was perfect, the beach was quiet, and the house had everything we needed. Convenience store & ice cream shop was within walking distance. Nice covered & uncovered deck. The outside of the house was dirty but as long as the interior was clean (which it was) we didn't care.

Cape San Blas- home away
Location was everything!! Great info and easy entry. House was more than what we needed, loved the set up. Few issue’s that needs to be looked into- the king size bed felt like it was uneven, slanted with a lump in the middle. Other than that we loved everything about it.. We will be back!!

Cape San Blas Never Disappoints
It was our first beach vacation, by ourselves, in 30 years. We had a blast. We met a ton of very nice people on the beach and in the shops. The house was on a great piece of beach and was well equipped. The only criticisms I would have is that a lot of the surfaces including the cabinets and floors were sticky and the back porch offered no cover from the rain. The upper porch, understandibly is uncovered but, there should be something like DryBelow, Deck Drain or some kind of ceiling that would allow you to still sit outside when its raining. The shower is a little outdated as most current showers are larger, more open and user friendly. The grille was ok and is probably a seasonal replacement anyway. The outside of the house certainly shows its age and is in need of extensive repairs or replacement. The lights on the upper deck are rusted out hulks of receptacles and should be replaced or repaired with turtle friendly lights. I would love to buy this property and bring it to the level of the houses on either side. It appears that the current owners either don't care or don't have the financial resources to do so. It's a shame. We had a great time but, this house needs work. Not the fault of Vacasa by any means.

Lack of maintenance and dirty!
Coackroaches! Mold, Windows leaking Very little hot water in master bedroom Couldn't use the main Sliding door to the deck. No outdoor seating on upper deck. You can see where they are making a few improvements. The outside needs painted so bad it sticks out like the slum house...I could go on but you get the point.

Let me give you the skinny😉
This property was perfect for what we needed. We had 4 adults and two teenagers. The house was clean, the beds were super comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and grilling every night as well a blender for many alcoholic concoctions. Brand new washer and dryer, working appliances and comfy living space. Beach access and view could not have been any better. The deck had 6 chairs and a table and was excellent for lounging on unless there was heavy rain or from about 5pm-7pm when the sun is beaming on you. There were tons of card and board games, books and Netflix and Hulu. There is a donut shop, ice cream shop, fresh seafood/lunch spot, general store and liquor store all within walking distance. We are all very roll with the flow kind of people, so we had no real complaints, but here are the only things that could be said to better prepare folks: The grill needs to be replaced. It was very dirty, the grease trap was overflowing everywhere and the propane tank was completely empty. We got a full one at the general store right down the road. The plate for the microwave was MIA and the blender needs to be replaced as well; there is no cap for the lid and it leaks from the bottom. Bring all of your own beach equipment. No floats, umbrellas, chairs, etc are at the house. Beach Planet is about a mile away and has everything you need. There is no roof on the upper deck. The sliding glass doors to the decks have about a 3 inch lip that you are guaranteed to trip on every single time you go in or out. Warn the drunk folk or there will be broken toes. This is a crowded section of Cape San Blas. You will have many neighbors. Our experience with most was positive, our next door neighbors rented a shore shark fishing company 2 nights in a row and landed some very large sharks one night (including a 7 foot hammerhead) which was VERY cool. Some were negative. One group set up 5 fishing poles directly in front of our beach canopy one day then proceeded to write "FU** YOU" in the sand when they eventually left. Sweet folks. This is a very pet friendly beach, which is great! We enjoyed watching all the pups play with their people, but one group preferred to scoop their doggie nuggs and toss them into the ocean while we swam instead of bagging it. Also sweet folks. The crowds will also ensure ungodly lines for donuts and ice cream, so plan accordingly or prepare to be in line for 2 hours. Seriously. All in all it's a great house/good spot

Steps away from the sand!
The house was in a great location and was literally steps away from the beach. Beautiful views too! The house was a great size for a family and was overall well maintained. The appliances did all need to be updated and new outdoor furniture is needed, but other than that, it was overall a really great place to stay.

Excursion
The property was easy to find and access. The nearby conveniences couldn't have been any better, groceries, fresh seafood, donuts and a great take out low country boil made it so easy for our family during COVID-19. The bedding was very comfortable and the view was outstanding. It's a very family oriented beach and our beach neighbors shared the same family values that we appreciate. We loved the house and would recommend this house and Cape San Blas to anyone who needs a relaxing vacation.

Disappointing Trip
We were EXTREMELY disappointed. The house is fine, but one of the reasons that I chose Dreamsicle in Cape San Blas for our 43rd anniversary is that it has direct private access to the beach. However, due to the ongoing beach restoration project, our access was cut off beginning on our second day. The beach was closed while excavators and bulldozers built new sand dunes and worked to extend the beach out into the Gulf. A dredger was working offshore to pump sand onto the beach and all of this work continued around the clock. Not only was our beach access blocked for the remainder of our stay, but also the noise of heavy equipment and the incredibly bright work lights kept us awake at night. The only way we could enjoy the beach was to get in our car and drive to a spot with public access. That defeated the purpose of coming to this property in the first place. If there was any damage to the property from Hurricane Michael, it wasn't evident. The house itself wasin good condition, but I can’t understand why you didn’t inform us about the reclamation work and let us know that it might possibly impact our access to the beach. I certainly wouldn’t have selected this property if I’d known that it was a possibility. This project began months ago, so there’s no reason why you or the property owners didn’t make an effort to inform prospective renters.
