We stayed at Prince George in January and love the house, love the bay, love the Cape, love the white sand beaches and the sunshine! We had a great time and kept saying to each other, "This house is sweet!"

Prince George was a great vacation haven for our family and beach loving dog! The home was clean and gorgeous. It was great to have such easy bay access and at the same time the beach could easily reached by a short walk. We really took advantage of the screen porch at meal time to enjoy the bay view. The clear waters of the bay furnished us fish for a meal or two. Also tried the local restaurants Sunset Coastal Grill and Boondocks at Windmark for great food. Good shopping can be found at the unique shops in Port Saint Joe. We hope to Prince George our yearly vacation destination and will definitely recommend it to friends and family!

Our stay at Prince George June 19 - 26 was absolutely marvelous. Sunrise over the Bay, sunset over the Gulf at the Beach were admired by all of us. The massive screen porch was great for sitting with a book, a beverage or just relaxing. The long pier proved to be great for seeing marine life of many kinds. The house, especially the kitchen, was very adequately equipped. All of us thouroughly enjoyed the stay. It is ideal for a family gathering. The weather was super hot, so some of us could not stay outside very long. Thanks a lot for a great place. -Don, New Lisbon, WI

Our stay in Prince George for the week of April 2-9, 2010, was wonderful. The house was perfect for our family. There are 10 of us - 8 adults and twin 2 year old boys, and we all had plenty of space. The screen porch across the back of the house was perfect for watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee and letting the little ones play "outside". And the kitchen is the most completely equipped of any that we have rented - everything that you could possibly need. The men enjoyed fishing, boating, and golfing while the girls enjoyed relaxing and soaking up the sun. We've stayed in Destin for the last 5 years, and while we enjoy all the activity/shopping in Destin, we thoroughly enjoyed the slower pace and lack of crowds in Cape San Blas. We'll definitely be back! Thanks so much for one of the best family vacations we've ever had! Perry, Lawrenceville, GA

We loved our stay at Prince George. Janice and I have been coming to Cape San Blas for a week vacation for the last 15 years, always staying on the bay. We started with one of the small cabins in the state park, growing into a home as other family members wanted to visit and stay over. This was our first year at Prince George. The larger home with spacious rooms, complete furnished lower level, gorgeous view of the bay, and breathtaking sunrises from he porch was just a few of the many amenities that made this our best stay on the cape. The dock made access to fishing the clear waters of the bay much easier and a tranquil place to set during the evenings; if not walking over to the gulf to shell and watch the sunsets. Everyone had a great time and we look forward to renting this beautiful home from Anne and Rex next year. -Terry and Janice, Tunnel Hill GA

Staying at Prince George has been our first experience spending the winter in Fla. We love the accommodations and truly enjoy the area. So much so, we have arranged to return next year. We have never felt so relaxed and at peace. Due to the cold weather, no boating or fishing, our new hobby is "shelling" which we have enjoyed. Thank you Sanders for sharing your lovely home with us.
Owner response:We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Too bad that this winter has been a little colder than normal but hopefully we will be back to norm next year. :-) Thanks. Anne Anderson, Sunset Reflections Vacation Rentals

Our vacation at Prince George was wonderful and relaxing. It's location on the bay is perfect for docking the boat, fishing, crabbing, and scalloping. The size of the house allows us to enjoy spending time with the children and grandchildren. It was wonderful having the circular drive for the grandchildren to ride their bicycles. We look forward to future stays at this property.
