Nice Enough

This vacation stay started a little rocky. When we pulled in to park we noticed beach access directly to the left of the home but it had a sign that said “private property” so we thought that meant it was just access for the house we rented. Turns out that is the access for the entire street and it wasn’t “private” at all. As we were starting to settle in and relax on the porch a man walked up the access and started screaming at us that it was community access and we had been parked in front of it all week blocking access even when we told him we had just arrived a few moments ago he continued to scream and yell. It was awful. The sign should be changed to reflect what type of access it truly is and one that states “do not block/park”. The property photographs well but there is a ton of deferred maintenance that needs to be addressed. The pool was dirty (full of sand/dead lizard/crabs) when we got there and was never cleaned the entire week. We cleaned what we could with the little net that is provided but it would have been nice to actually have it vacuumed out. We saw several roaches inside the home throughout our stay as well. All of the beds were in bad shape/very uncomfortable and need to be replaced. The outside shower was all rusted out and you could barely use it to get clean from the beach but if you used the water hose provided it would shut off all of the water to the house… literally zero water, I’ve never seen something like that happen before. We had 12 people staying in the home and we cooked every meal so we had to call the management company to let them know we had excessive trash but no one ever showed up to get the bags left outside of the trash can like they said they would so by the time we left there was a huge mountain of trash. Overall, vacation at the beach is always enjoyable regardless of the condition of the home you rent but it would have been a more enjoyable stay if the management company and homeowner actually cared for the property.

Great location and view

This was our first trip to Cape San Blas. We loved the area and the house was perfect for our group. We also enjoyed the rental company that brought bikes and chairs. Very convenient. The house was clean and we loved the view from the porches.

Great place with a few minor issues

We have stayed on the Cape for 14 years and it never disappoints. This year was no different. The only issues were the ice maker never made enough ice to keep up and the handle to the freezer is broken. It would make about 6-12 cubes a day. There was a minor issue with the garbage disposal and the water pressure, but those were easily fixed with a quick phone call. Public beach access is 50-100 yards to the left of the house, so expect it to be a little more crowded than other parts of the Cape. Other than a few minor issues, the place was great. You'll have awesome sunsets and a great beach to play on.

Would certainly not return.

This was my feedback to the rental company: “ As we wrap up our week, I wanted to share how disappointed we feel by our vacation rental choice. First, let me say that we own a vacation rental. So we certainly understand that there are certain things that can happen during a vacation that are not within anyone’s control to prevent. The issues we had with this house do not fall under that category. To name our top disappointments: - We did not have a single outdoor garbage can until Monday evening. When I called Monday, I was told by a VERY rude woman on the phone that I needed to “be patient” because the cans get brought down on Monday. So y’all just expect guests to let garbage pile up for 2+ days after checking in??? We got ONE Monday evening. The rest were left at the end of the road. So I called and messaged everyday until 3 more cans were brought down on Thursday evening. - I called and messaged about the water issue. There was not enough water to flush the toilet or take a shower if the washing machine was on. I have paid top dollar for a house that doesn’t offer the simple modern convenience of using water in two places at one time? In a house that sleeps 12-14???! I was told someone would be coming out to check it. No one ever did. - I reported that a storm blew over and destroyed the grill and requested a replacement since we grill every evening. A replacement was brought with no grates and not hooked up to Propane. So I had to call/message again to get grates. - Nowhere in the listing for this house did it mention that the house is right next to the shared walkway to the beach for the entire street. There was constant traffic along the side of the pool. Just weird! I would have never rented this house had I known that. - There is also a house being built next door. Obviously the owner of the house nor the rental company have any control over that. But, it would have been nice to have been made aware that we wouldn’t even be able to Hear our music or each other’s voices at the pool over the saws RIGHT NEXT TO THE POOL! - Then this evening, as we are packing up, we pull back the covers in the bed our daughter has been sleeping in and find a pair of men’s underwear. I don’t even know what to say. Suffice it to say, we are appalled.” Want to know what the response from the rental company was to that email? “I’m very sorry your experience was not good.” Ha! They don’t care, y’all. Stay somewhere else.

Great place

Great place to stay at the cape. Had everything you need from pots and pans to a blender. Height chair and play pen. Gate to keep the little ones & or dog on the upstairs floor or deck. The second frig was a god’s sent. And the bathroom by the pool was great for the kids. Would highly recommend for families of any age.

Great Vacation Home

We just returned from a great visit to Cape San Blas. We very much enjoyed the house and pool. It was a perfect location and had very easy access to the beach. There was plenty of space for our group of 7. The elevator was clutch for elderly parents. Only small complaints are cosmetic to the home. The outdoor light off the main floor deck was only hanging by the wires. The outdoor restroom door and outdoor shower handles were extremely rusty and were often hard to use. Obviously from years of salty water/air but they could use an update. The management company was very quick to respond to a couple of questions pre-trip and luckily we had no issues/reasons to call them during our vacation. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Great location with some small issues.

I will start by saying we really enjoyed our trip. The house was right in the beach and pretty nice. There were some issues though, mostly very minor. First, the house is fairly new with nice amenities. The problem is the quality of the construction. It was definitely built with the priority being speed. 1) The wood floors were full of gaps up to an inch. 2) The exterior door hinges were rusty and caused the doors to be difficult to shut. 3) The porches wooden bannisters were nailed with small finishing nails and were coming loose or falling off in spots. It was very scary, since we had 2 very young children with us. 4) Only 1 TV had cable service, which was never fixed. 5). All outside lights were not functioning and never fixed. 6) the fence around the pool was falling down and one gate did not shut. The management company was very quick to respond and fix what they could. They were top notch! Overall it was a wonderful vacation! We really enjoyed the Cape and will return, but we will choose a different property.

My stay at Rosemary Dunes

We spent the first three days with out a dish washer. The communication with the property manager about this problem was not exactly great. There were several bugs in the house. The house is designed to sleep 14, but the gas grill that was provided was old and small. It was only big enough to cook for about six people. You think that if you are paying considerable money to rent the place they could provide a bigger and better grill. The garbage was suppose to be picked up three times a week. This only happened once well we were there. On Sunday after we got in I had to go up to the main road and drag the three garbage carts back to the house. The house was on the beach and over all it was a great house. The main problem was communication with the property manager.
