This is our favorite place we have stayed on Cape San Blas. Great location, the unit is beautiful and has great beach views. We hope to come back soon!
We had the best time soaking up the sun on the Cape! The house was great for our needs- extra clean, spacious, and the sand toys in the closet were a big plus! Looking forward to visiting again soon!
Chips Ahoy is a wonderful place to stay. It is beachfront, beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a beach vacation. The kitchen is well stocked and they even have beach chairs, umbrellas and beach toys. It is also pet friendly which is a huge bonus. I would live hear!
We stayed here for Thanksgiving weekend and had a great time. The unit is well decorated and has a great view. The hosts were easy to communicate with. Would love to visit again sometime!
We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was beautiful and clean with great views of the gulf. Plenty of beach chairs and sand toys for the kids to enjoy. I’m already thinking about when we can come back for another trip!
We were very apprehensive about our week post Hurricane Helene. The host did a wonderful job keeping us updated and getting the house ready after the storm. We were able to spend a beautiful week at CSB and the host’s check in tips/suggestions were very helpful. The kids loved the upstairs room.
The location and views are both perfect. Its beach side and the master bedroom looks out over the beach. You couldnt be any closer. Both our girls absolutely loved the children's loft bedroom on the upper floor. And the cleanliness was great.
About the only thing we could possibly critique is that the community turns on their sprinkler system at around 9am, which is the same time you are trying to pack your car and leave.
We would definitely stay here again!
My family and I recently stayed at Chips Ahoy and our experience was phenomenal!
- Super responsive
- Friendly handyman service
- Beautiful decor
- Easy beach access
- Stocked beach closet
We flew in for our stay with young kiddos and realized we had overpacked ‘beach goodies’ when we got there because this place has multiple beach chairs, a plethora of sand toys, and boogie boards. This was awesome!
The house itself is also stocked with very comfortable bedding and bath linens. The kitchen was also stocked but is limited on what pans/serving dishes/utensils are available.
We had an issue with the dryer but Stefanie was on it as soon as I texted her and within 12-hours had already let me know that a new dryer was going to be delivered and installed - AMAZING! It was so nice to be able to go home with a suitcase full of clean clothes.
The community is so quiet and everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly and a delight.
Overall, we loved our stay and cannot wait to come back!
We had a great time at Chips Ahoy. The house was right on the beach; you could take one of two boardwalks to the beach, each less than a minute walk from the door to the water. The beds were comfortable, and the master shower was great. The neighborhood was wonderful (fishing ponds, playground, nice neighbors, lots of dogs, two pools- one heated and one not). It all felt very safe and laid back. The house had everything we needed, including beach/pool toys, a wagon, chairs, etc. The kitchen was fully stocked. The renovations/furnishings were very nice. The only things I would suggest changing- some areas could've been cleaner. The master shower definitely needed a good scrubbing- lots of mold and mildew. We found several food items in drawers (a soda can, a partially eaten waffle, and a yogurt tube). The dryer did not work well- I had to dry even the smallest loads twice. The master balcony could use some shade as it is not covered (maybe an umbrella or something similar?). The view from the main floor balcony was obstructed by bushes. It would be nice for those to be trimmed down if possible, but I know sometimes these provide a habitat/erosion control.Overall, we had a great time and will definitely stay here again!
Nicely furnished. Maybe a few too many pillows on the sofa--LOL.. Just to pick nits so you can improve for the next guests. One roll of single ply toilet paper per bathroom and one of those had been dropped into water and allowed to dry and used. As cheap as one ply is, it should have been thrown out. That is the disadvantage of not opening the toilet roll and inspecting it before hanging in on the toilet roll dispenser. Television in Master bedroom very dusty. In fact, the whole condo needed a good dusting. There was sand left on the rug in the living room. We found the vacuum cleaner next to the furnace and cleaned the entire living room floor. Other than that it was a great location with great amenities.
This was our 3rd year staying at this property and it is always wonderful. Great location and the unit is bright and clean. Thanks for another great stay!
This place is amazing. Only downside was the hedges blocked the ocean view from the family room /deck. Would like to have sat out on the deck and seen the ocean instead of bushes.
We loved this property. Both the living room and one bedroom have windows looking directly over the gulf. We enjoyed cooking every day and found all of the utensils and cookware we needed to make some really amazing meals. We also spent time in the state park directly adjacent to this property and enjoyed the beaches and scenery they offered. The property faces the gulf with perfect views of the sunset.
We loved our stay at Chips Ahoy! The location is excellent - just a short walk to the beach -and the views were wonderful. I loved watching for dolphins from our bedroom window and for the stars at night. Our dog loved the window seat! It was a perfect place for our family to gather - beautiful, yet still very comfortable and homey. I hope we will be able to return again in the not too distant future.
We loved staying at this property. Spectacular view and couldn’t be any easier to get to the beach. I think this is the best unit we have stayed in at Barrier Dunes.
The condo was amazing. Very clean and up-to-date. Quiet gated community with wonderful views! Easily accessible to nearby restaurants. The host was very accommodating with clear instructions and easy check-in/check-out. Highly recommend!
Excellent experience! The unit is beautifully decorated, homey, spacious, and has wonderful views! It’s a super easy walk to the beach off the back deck. The kitchen had everything we needed and then some. The cute window seat with beach views was a special bonus. The super loft is awesome and was perfect for our kids!! I hope we can visit again soon.
First time to cape San blas. It is beautiful and everything we wanted. House was beautiful and well stocked. Location was very nice as well. We will be back
