Really nice and short walk to the beach! ##### Michael T. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean C. Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great spot, super close to the beach! We had a great stay! The location of the home is in a great spot, within a couple minute walk to the entrance of the beach. The home was extremely clean. The communication with the property managers was always quick and professional. I would keep in mind these things when booking here just so you are prepared - these aren’t dealbreakers by any means: there is no dishwasher, the two spare bedrooms do not have TVs in them, if you plan on staying for several days I would highly recommend bringing your own beach stuff and extra toiletries (toilet paper, paper towels).Overall, would highly recommend this spot! ##### Sean C. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica V. Feb 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Super clean! Fantastic beach house. Just steps away from the beach access! We’ll definitely rent again! ##### Jessica V. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lee W. Apr 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect family getaway! Vacation went off without a hitch for a change! Checkin was a breeze and I had continuous communication with the rental company. The house has covered parking and tons of dry storage underneath so I was able to keep everything secured and was able to unpack the car in the rain without getting wet. Location was perfect, easy stroll to the beach, and everything in the house was as advertised. Perfect house on the Cape! ##### Lee W. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teri Y. Jun 15, 2025 #### Beautiful Beach vacation spot 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: Loved Cape San Blas. Our first time there, most days the water was clear and calm. This vacation home was perfect for our group of 5. Very clean, beds comfortable. Lacking a bit on kitchen cookware & appliances. No dishwasher. There are not a lot of restaurants in this area so you do cook a lot. Porch was nice, peek a boo view of water. Nice fire pit in yard. Nice space under house to hang out. ##### Teri Y.

Reviewer Comments: Everything was perfect: great house, great location, and very nice staff. We are making this our regular vacation spot. It is very close to the beach. ##### Kelli H. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Margaritaville Cottages Orlando with H2O Waterpark by Vstays](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Margaritaville-Cottages-Orlando-By-VStays.h35109061.Hotel-Information) > > [Playa Largo Resort & Spa, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-Largo-Hotels-Playa-Largo-Resort-Spa.h11919055.Hotel-Information) > > [Westgate Vacation Villas Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Westgate-Vacation-Villas-Resort.h98920.Hotel-Information) > > [Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Seminole-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Casino-Tampa.h1044188.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Palms Resort Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Paradise-Palms-Resort-Orlando.h9013245.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Hills Resort by Global Resort Homes](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Windsor-Hills-Resort-By-Global-Resort-Homes.h2348246.Hotel-Information) > > [The Suites at Magic Tree](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-The-Suites-At-Magic-Tree.h3924.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Resort Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Orlando.h24054711.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn & Suites By the Parks](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Suites-By-The-Parks.h18866.Hotel-Information) > > [Encantada Resort Vacation Townhomes by IDILIQ](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-CLC-Encantada-Resort-Vacation-Townhomes.h4651255.Hotel-Information) > > [Encore Resort and Water Park at Reunion by Rentyl](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Encore-Resort-At-Reunion.h15190527.Hotel-Information) > > [Westgate Towers Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Westgate-Towers-Resort.h170878.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grove Resort & Water Park Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-The-Grove-Resort-Water-Park-Orlando.h4691657.Hotel-Information) > > [Shuttle to Disney World + On-Site Water Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Shuttle-To-Disney-World-On-Site-Water-Park.h32562438.Hotel-Information) > > [Westgate Town Center Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Westgate-Town-Center-Resort.h426819.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Cottages Orlando by Rentyl](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Orlando-Cottages-By-Rentyl.h27548551.Hotel-Information) > > [Orbit One Vacation Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Orbit-One-Vacation-Villas.h7233.Hotel-Information) > > [Westgate Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Westgate-Resorts.h33243663.Hotel-Information) > > [The Berkley, Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-The-Berkley.h1695932.Hotel-Information) > > [Destiny Palms Hotel Maingate West](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Destiny-Palms-Hotel-Maingate-West.h427337.Hotel-Information) > > [Summer Bay Orlando by Exploria Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Summer-Bay-Orlando-By-Exploria-Resorts.h104060.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Miami West - Airport Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Miami-West-Airport-Area.h3672.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Palms Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Windsor-Palms-Resort.h28950888.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club Mystic Dunes Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Mystic-Dunes-Resort-Golf-Club-By-Diamond-Resorts.h890951.Hotel-Information) > > [Champions World Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Champions-World-Resort.h50766.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Jacksonville-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h27136.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón](https://www.expedia.ca/Naples-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton-Naples.h788295.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club Aqua Sol Orlando West](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Liki-Tiki-Village.h692650.Hotel-Information)
