Dec 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely, comfortable, and affordable beachfront cottage in perfect location! Photos do not do this place justice! The cottage is clean, well maintained, and has many recent updates including a beautiful new kitchen. Best of all it is RIGHT ON THE BEACH and the porch is the perfect place to sit and take in the stunning views. Being the end unit of a triplex, it also has views from nearly every room. Opening the blinds (not shown in photos) makes the downstairs living areas bright and sunny. The common area downstairs has several grills and a fireplace. The location was perfect to access both the park at the north end of the island and restaurants by foot. Vince was a wonderful, attentive host who made everything easy. We will definitely stay here again! Suggestions to make things easier for both host and guests: Add a list of what you do and do not provide, including kitchen basics, to the listing. Stock sponges for kitchen cleanup and provide extra light bulbs. A few inexpensive updates that would REALLY freshen things up: Replace carpeting on stairs and window seat and paint or varnish (for safety, attach stair runners made of a berber-type low-pile carpet that can be easily replaced when worn). The upstairs BR needs drywall repairs and paint. The mattresses were VERY comfortable, but the bed frame in the beach BR was cheap and wobbly and made noise every time I moved. Replace with a quality bed frame, and refresh linens throughout. ##### Lucia S.

It was very clean, and for that we were very grateful! Reasons for 4 stars instead of 5 - property seems to be in 'transition'. Some things have been kept up/redone, but a few things have not. Towel bar in bath missing, shag carpet on stairs and other carpet upstairs not great. Chairs out front need new cushions and to be painted. With just these few tweaks, this could be an adorable rental! ##### Nancy F. ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul M.

The only complaint is that the living room furniture really needs to be replaced. The couch was broken and sunken in which made it uncomfortable. It's right on the beach with easy access and there are nice amenities sick as grills and picnic table. If they replaced the couch we would definitely stay there again. ##### Paul M.

Jul 31, 2017 #### Dog Friendly, Beach Front Townhouse The very best things about Aque Essence 1 are Location, view, convenience, and dog friendly lodging. Just a short boardwalk to the white sand beaches and gentle gulf waves makes coming and going to the beach throughout the day a breeze. The porch is a fantastic substitute for the beach when running up for lunch or a break. The sunsets were quite the show as well. The dog friendly nature of Cape San Blas brought us back a second time. The unit has lots of natural light and a great view of the gulf when cooking dinner or just relaxing inside. The furnishings in Aqua Essence are a little dated but the 2 bedroom to bath unit served it's function as a vehicle to the beach. The air conditioning was plenty cool on even the hottest days. We used the charcoal grill twice and ate at Indian Pass Raw Bar twice as well. Cape San Blas has a laid back, non commercial vibe which suited my beach bum family. ##### Beth V.
