Ohio family loves Cape San Blas

We have stayed in many Cape San Blas homes over the years. This was by far the best equipped kitchen ever! Kitchen was very clean and had everything you need. Layout of home was perfect. Thank you hosts for a wonderful week.

Great communication with the host! We received prompt responses to all our questions. House was beautiful and the kitchen was well stocked. We did pick up a few extra dish towels to supplement the supply at the house. Beach path was well maintained and so conveniently located right in front of the house. Pool was fantastic as well. No complaints from our group. We can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful time

Our family of 10 had a wonderful time at San Castle. We were so ecstatic that the house came with beach chairs and towels for all, a wagon and an umbrella. It made for light packing. The pool was perfect size. The kitchen had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay in a beautiful home.

Great Place to Stay

This place was so great! Right next to the beach. The pool was amazing. I really liked that they had some many kitchen items available, which I usually don't see at beach rentals. Dan was also really great to communicate with. My family loves Cape San Blas and I will most definitely look at booking this place in the future!

Wonderful stay!

Stayed here with 12 other family members and 2 pups. This was a great stay for our big group. We got a ton of use out of the pool, which was clean and well kept. It was perfect proximity to the beach too. The house is directly across the street from the beach access path, a short 2 min walk to the beach. It was also well equipped with 12 beach chairs and a beach wagon - made our lives easier! Appreciate the easy and responsive communication with the property manager. We would love to stay here again!

Excellence..

Let me start with how beautiful the area is and how convenient the beach access was, the pool was a great gathering spot throughout the day as well. San Castle has everything you need for a perfect vacation from a well equipped kitchen, multiple bedrooms and baths, several gathering areas for the family to relax and all beach accessories (beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrellas and beach cart) for that perfect beach day. Make sure to check out the local shops and fill up on seafood from one of the several restaurants to choose from. Thank you San Castle for a wonderful vacation, we enjoyed our stay and plenty of memories made.

Perfect!

San Castle lives up every 5 star review. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish. The house has everything you could possibly need and the location is amazing in a quiet neighborhood and right across from the private beach access path. The pool area is modern and the water crystal clear. You can be on the beach in about two minutes and have all the gear needed for relaxing or some adventure, all included with the house. Highly recommend!!

San Castle house with pool on the Cape was perfect!!!

The San Castle house was absolutely the perfect place to stay on the Cape. The house was so clean, nice furnishings, great layout/plenty of space, & the pool was an added bonus. The quiet neighborhood & beautiful surroundings makes this a great place to rent! The beach access/walkover was literally in front of the house. The house had so many beach items like, chairs, cart, umbrella, & more that’s made it easy to walk to the beach. We enjoyed our week there & didn’t want to leave! The owner & come to the cape site was great to work with & made it easy to book! Thanks again & we will be back soon!

Beautiful home and relaxing stay

The property owner has thought of all the kid & family friendly needs you may have. There was a nice high chair, pack & play, toddler friendly cups, plates, utensils. Plenty of beach towels, a large cooler, beach chairs, lightweight beach wagon. It was our first time to Cape San Blas, we loved the state park bay beach for a double red flag day. We rented a paddleboard and the kids loved exploring the bay. We loved the area and would love to return to this property in the future. Great communication with the owner when we had A question. Easy check in and check out. Fully stocked kitchen.

Perfect!

This home was perfect for a week in Cape San Blas. We were walking distance to 3 other homes of friends all vacationing together for Spring Break. Everything was clean and new and well cared for. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need for making meals for the family. Having the beach chairs and beach towels there and available was really invaluable when traveling. The heated pool was great for days when the beach was too windy and cold. The views were awesome and we were a short walk to the beach just down the path out our front door. Would definitely stay here again if we were to ever return to this area!

Your Ultimate Beach Getaway!

If you're dreaming of a beach vacation that's both luxurious and laid-back, look no further than this amazing 5-bedroom rental. It's the ultimate spot for kicking back with friends or family and soaking up the sun in style. Accommodation: The bedrooms here are like something out of a dream – spacious, comfy, and tastefully decorated. Whether you're crashing out after a day at the beach or enjoying lazy mornings with a view of the Gulf, you'll feel right at home. Amenities: Let's talk about the pool – it's basically paradise in your backyard. We spent hours splashing around and sipping cold drinks on the loungers. And the beach gear? So clutch! We grabbed the umbrellas and chairs and had the best time chilling by the waves. Views: Seriously, the views here are unreal. Whether you're watching the Gulf from the balcony or catching glimpses of the Gulf from inside, you'll be constantly reminded of just how awesome this place is. Location: The location is spot-on – close enough to everything you need, but still feels like your own private oasis. We hit up the local restaurants and shops, but honestly, we were happiest just hanging out by the pool or strolling along the beach. Conclusion: Overall, this place is a gem. It's got all the comforts of home plus that extra touch of luxury that makes vacation feel truly special. If you're craving a beach getaway with all the perks, this rental is where it's at. We're already planning our next trip back!

Awesome vacation with 4 couples

The San Castle was spotless and roomy with 4 king bedrooms and a bunk room + 4 1/2 baths there was plenty of room for everyone. A short walk on the path to the beach and we enjoyed daily surf fishing and fun in the sun then back to the house to grill out and hang by the heated pool. We Would recommend the San Castle to anyone looking for a great vacation place for a large group and we plan to return soon! PS: Don't need to bring anything they have everything you could possibly need, beach chairs, umbrellas & buggy, grill w/charcoal and fluid, spices, coffee pots, all appliances and utensils literally everything!
