My family and I had a wonderful time in Cape San Blas. Your condo was lovely and perfectly stocked with everything we may need! The beaches were wonderful. We really enjoyed walks through the park and horseback riding on the beach. Thanks for making our trip even more enjoyable!

We had a wonderful, restful time. I will definitely be back. I was amazed at how quiet and peaceful this place was. I really did not want my grandchildren to be around a huge party like P.C. Beach. Thanks for a great place!

We family including our two pets had a wonderful time at the Cape. The location of the home on the Cape is idea since it borders St. Joe State Park. The home itself is very near the beautiful beach and even closer to the pool. The kitchen was well stocked and there were many other extra little touches that made our stay more like being at home. The owner, Dave, was extremely helpful in the reservation process and shared his favorite places to visit. We love the Cape and can't wait to return next

We had a very relaxing time during our recent kids' spring break vacation. The beach townhome was just the right size for our family and was in great condition. Dave the owner was very accommodating and cared about taking the time to give us things to see and do and restaurants to choose from. Working with Coastal Joes was very easy and Suzy was great. The Cape is a great spot if you are looking for a place to relax on the beach, do some hiking in nearby Port St. Joe's State Park, kayak St. Joe's Bay, eat at some great restaurants in Port St Joe's or Appalachicola, and the beaches are second to none! The beaches are great for shelling, looking for ghost crabs at night, or just watching the stars. We will definitely be coming back to the Cape again!

We were satisfied and more with our stay at A Beach Break. The complex was nicely developed with units around a large central grassy park which included playground and large pool. We had 2 porches which overlooked the central area, one screened, one unscreened which afforded fun spectating time of the kids running around! Furnishings well kept, kitchen very well stocked which we appreciated. This complex, Sea Cliffs, is the last one on the road which leads to a State Park at the end of the peninsula. There are homes farther west but the location afforded very quiet, not crowded beach access with lots of shells and perfect walking conditions. We loved visiting the park and hiking the bird trails, exploring the various areas, again not crowded. Appalachicola was our only "field trip", about a 1/2 hour drive to a quaint, historic town with boutiquey shopping, nice restaurants. There were good seafood stores closer to homebase from which we purchased great seafood including stone crab! This vacation was just perfect for us: quiet, well located, great accommodations.

Thank you! We had had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at the Cape. We have been blessed with perfect weather and it is good to know I’m not the only one to plan our vacation around the DOG! [Our dog] Maddy has really enjoyed playing in the surf. My daughter and I have found some pretty shells and a SHARK’S tooth and hubby has caught (and released) several fish. We’ve learned to plan our trips up and down the stairs and prepared a Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen without any problems. Thanks for letting us enjoy your beach home and thank you for no cell phone service! Hubby needed that!!

"A Beach Break" was absolutely an awesome place to stay and Cape San Blas is beautiful place. It was so nice to be able to go the beach and not have other people tripping over you. It was my brother-in-law's first trip to the beach and could not have been more perfect. We found four gallon ziplock bags of shells. We definitely plan on coming back next year.

CSB has become my favorite beach in Florida (and I lived in Sarasota for 19 years!) My family has stayed at this property several times now. It's just perfect. Plenty of space inside plus you're just feet from the pool, and just yards from the beach. Everything you need is here, including all the beach props you may need from umbrellas to kids' toys. Hit the Piggly Wiggly (I love that name) on your way out to the cape and you're all set. If it's hassle free relaxation you desire, then this is the place!

If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the area for you. The beach is white sand, huge and uncrowded. In January we thought there was a crowd if we could see 10 people. The house is a few steps from the beach, comfortable, well furnished and the kitchen has everything you could need to self cater. There are games, DVD's, beach chairs etc. Port St Joe & Historic Apalachicola are both good for restaurants and a few cute shops. Cape san Blas is really all about relaxing, getting out in the fresh air, watching the stars, shelling,hiring a bike etc. If you want lots of shops and nightlife don't come here. Our golden had a ball here as it is very pet friendly.

Great location, loved the fact that this property was pet friendly. There is a nice grassy area to walk the dog and the neighborhood was an easy walk. The pool is right out the back door and the beach was about a minute walk. Cape San Blas is very relaxing and beautiful without all the "big city" distractions. The sunsets and stars are incredible.

Wanted a family vacation with our 3 grand daughters with least expense and found it. We all love the Beach and water. You could look out our balcony to ocean and enjoy the view and at same time enjoy the lovely green courtyard below. We set on boardwalk and watch Lovely sunsets. Rode bicycles and just hanging with family. Can't get better than this.

A Beach Break was a fantastic place. We had plenty of room with 8 people and 1 dog. The access to the beach was less than a minute walk and the unit had plenty of beach gear that we were able to use. I had brought our own chairs and beach equipment and never even used them! The kitchen was perfect with plenty of dishes, pots and pans, and even spices (i brought my own; but the unit has a pretty good supply). We enjoyed relaxing at the beach during the day, taking evening walks with the beautiful sunset, shelling, seeing crabs, chasing the ghost crabs and we even had a beach fire on our last night! I would definitely recommend your place and look forward to coming again next year!!

This week has been sooo relaxing. My family and I have felt like we had our own private beach. The powder white beaches filled with a rainbow of shells was like looking at pictures in a tour book, we'd never seen anything like it and we were like kids in a candy store shelling. We enjoyed many good meals -- Sunset Coastal Grill, Papa Joe's, Toucan's, Dockside -- our favorite was by far was Papa Joe's. We were a little concerned when we pulled up, but were pleasantly surprised -- some of the best seafood we tasted. Thanks again for sharing your piece of paradise with us ... we truly enjoyed our Beach Break!

Thank you for making our vacation a pleasant one. We were well-informed about the area and what to bring, all we had to do was relax! This place is especially secluded and quiet. We took your advice and went out at night to see all the stars -- the sky & stars went on for miles. We especially enjoyed the State park with its lookout points along the beach. [...] The condo was well-equipped from kitchen spices and extra blankets to all the beach toys, umbrellas and chairs -- everything you need for a great vacation. We appreciated your call to check in on us and see if all was well. We had a great vacation at Cape San Blas and would return for its peace and tranquility. Thanks again.

We enjoyed our stay at your condo. This is our third visit to Cape San Blas. We love the beach, and we appreciate the fact that it isn't crowded. Our family, including 5 1/2 and 4 year old grandkids, visited for 12 days. The guys liked fishing from the beach, and the little ones love to play in the sand. The little kids called the bunk room their own little camper. Thank you.

Greetings & thank you! Another wonderful week at Cape San Blas! Accommodations were great - especially for dinners & evening entertainment where 6 adults & 7 children comfortably fit & enjoyed! Again the marine life is abundant - octopus, electric rays, dolphins & a majestic bald eagle donned the skies! The Cape is truly special!

In a word -- "wow". Thank you Dave for sharing your little piece of paradise with our family. We truly felt at peace & we all stocked up on rest & relaxation! From the start of our plans, we felt that you had a vested interest in our trip & the success of it. We weren't just the family in room # so and so. Coastal Joe's made it easy to check in and get the vacation started. All in all, we have loved every minute of it. We hope to be back next summer for sure.

What an awesome time we had at A Beach Break. The amenities were great, the pool was right outside the door but not noisy like other communities we have stayed at. We loved watching the beach from the 2 balconies as well as the sunset from the kitchen bay window during dinner. Our favorites were the Light House beach and all the shells and Happy Ours kayaking adventure in the bay. If you want to truly get away from the rat race and not got to a beach that is a rat race, this is the place to be. Thank you and hope to be there again this fall :)

I write with a heavy heart, as I do not want to leave. Our family has had the most wonderful time this week. The townhome had everything we needed & the location just perfect. We had plans to visit Panama City, but could not bring ourselves to leave! Our three small children had a blast. After visiting much busier beaches before here, we now realize we were missing out on a true VACATION. We hope to make this an annual event for our family. Thanks for sharing this gem with us.

This week at your condo was definately needed for our family. It was so relaxing and fun, with different things to do everyday. From kayaking to a secluded beach by the bay and finding huge shells and hermit crabs, to relaxing and exploring on the sand dune filled, expansive white beach by the gulf in St. Joe Park, everyday was an adventure. We also enjoyed your condo, with many nice amenities. The location is wonderful, the perfect distance between all of the different attractions. Our last day was the best, with shelling on St. Vincent Island.

Thank you for allowing us to stay at your place at Sea Cliffs. The pictures on line did not do it justice! We had a marvelous time. The water was calm. The sand perfect, just like I remember Florida sand being. And the Cape, perfect, no businesses to speak of, no tattoo parlors no places for someone to run off and get in trouble. We got some great family time!!! We can't wait to return! ~Karen

I'm sorry to say that we just returned home from the most wonderful and relaxing vacation I have ever experienced. The part I'm sorry about is that we had to return to real life. To say that your condo felt like home would not be totally accurate. There was no stress! The Cape is an absolutely beautiful area, and your condo was equally beautiful. Everything was well-kept and fully stocked. We cooked most meals in the condo and had EVERYTHING we needed. The kids loved the bunk beds and I didn't have to worry at all about them, while they played on the screened in porch. The pool was right out our back door and the beach could not have been more convenient! We picked up lots of shells during the day and chased many a ghost crab at night. Oh, and did I mention the fabulous sunsets? Thank you for opening your home. We WILL be back!!!

My family so enjoyed our stay last week at your townhouse. We have a stayed in several condos and houses, but your place was the best. We all loved the artwork and decorations you had. We look foward to cooking together each evening, so your well stocked kitchen was a big hit. Anyway, I could go on and on. We had such a great time we would like to go ahead and book for next year.
