So I want to start off by saying this one of the best beach vacations our family has ever had. We love Cape San Blas, and the Forgotten Coast. There are some issues with this place, some that little can be done about, and others that should be addressed.
The Bad: This condo is directly on the shore line, not the beach. There was never any sand in front of the building while we were there. We were able to access the left side of the building only. The stairs going down to the beach were in no way safe. The sand is constantly moving under the base of the stairs, and this causes it to be questionable about which is the best way up. From what I heard while there, they’re trying to get some beach remediation to protect building from erosion. There are many buildings on the Cape that have been lost over the years to erosion, and storms, I hope they’re able to fix this issue. The condo itself is nice, the beds were comfortable, but the main level had dog hair everywhere, I didn’t notice it in the bedrooms, but it was all over the living area, and screen porch. If you are allergic to dogs I would not rent this place. We are dog people, so we didn’t let the hair ruin anything, but for others it would be a deal breaker. The rental company also had horrible communication. The only way you can get in touch with them is by calling. They never responded to a message on VRBO, or from email.
The Good: The views at this place are amazing, you have 3 levels of deck in front of the house, and a balcony overlooking the bay on the other side. We enjoyed each deck, and saw so much marine life, you are so close you can hear the dolphins squeak. You are also on about a half mile of nearly private beach. There was a weber charcoal grill that we used a couple of time, and they also had about 4 beach chairs for use.
Overall if the issues that I mentioned are fixed we would return in a heartbeat.
