We had never stayed on the south end of the beach at the Cape before and didn't know what to expect from the beaches but was very surprised the beach was so beautiful, flat,great stretch of beach to walk on to the break near the lighthouse, awesome sunsets just to the west, lots of shells and that you could even drive on the beach with a permit. Our stay at the Sea Esta was very enjoyable, the weather during the week was good, the beach was awesome. Every morning we woke up to the sound of the ocean just steps from the house. The house was very nice and filled all our needs very well. The only thing would be the use of the elevator when unloading for the week(not during the week. We were able to watch the fireworks on New Years Eve from the Pier at Salinas Park put on by Port Saint Joe Marina. Then went back to the beach and watched as others displayed there fireworks up and down the beach and rang in the new year with our own bond fire on the beach under the beautiful clear sky filled with stars. The Sea Esta was very nice and private along the beach area and we will be looking to go back to the Cape again and would not hesitate to stay on the south end now. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely home, David and Penne.

We have truly enjoyed our stay at the Sea Esta. Our families loved the beach and the solitude. The early morning and late evening dolphins were an amazing sight. The house is beautiful and spacious We had a great time! We have found a piece of paradise on Cape San Blas!

Our anniversary at Cape San Blas and your home made for a very pleasant, relaxing trip. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We had a wonderful time going for strolls along the beach, sitting out onthe decks and soaking in the beautiful views. The sunrises, sunsets and the beautiful starry skies were out of this world! I was able to take some wonderful photos (which is my favorite hobby). We also enjoyed eating at Peppers. Thank you again!...You have a beautiful home and it was a pleasure dealing with you by phone.

Sea Esta is the Besta!!! David was very pleasant to deal with and we appreciate him sharing his home. The house was lacking for nothing...absolutely spectacular! We really enjoyed the great views and secluded beach. There was a nice cozy town less than ten minutes away. The BEST vacation we ever had! Thanks David for sharing your beautiful home!

David, thanks for getting back with me. I should have made mention that the house looked as nice as ever. The new bedspreads were a nice improvement. You have a beautiful home. We can't wait to get ours built.

We love this house!! So comfortable, truly planned for guest's enjoyment and use for a party of ten. Large dining area, super large great room with comfortable furnishing for TV viewing for all. Cable tv with all the sports channels, and a spectacular ocean view from the same area. The owners make every attempt to insure you have a wonderful vacation experience. We most highly recommend this great home.

David and Penne, thanks for another great vacation for my family. This was our third stay at the Sea Esta. We had a great trip. Our home will not be ready until next fall, so I will contact you again next spring about our 2012 summer trip.

This lovely home was perfect for our family of ten. Beautiful views and the beach was not crowded at all. The water is a little murkier on this part of the beach, but it did not bother us. We were only ten minutes from the grocery store in Port St. Joe. Overall, it is a great place to vacation if you want quiet beaches and don't need a lot of extra activities, which is what we were looking for. The house is great - spacious and clean and the rental agency was great to work with. Highly recommend!

We loved Sea Esta! It was a last minute decision and we were so happy with our choice. We watched the dolphins swim by every morning while we were having our breakfast on the porch. The view was fantastic and the home was very clean. We loved the quiet seclusion of the location of this home. Kitchen was VERY adequately equipped. Thank you owners for sharing your beautiful home with us

I could go on and on about the great location/home and how clean it was. We will definitely consider this home in the future. The open, loving kitchen area is nice and the kitchen had more equipment than stated. Good decor in all the roomy rooms.

We recently spent a week at Sea Esta. The home is very well maintained, and we loved being able to walk out the door and walk only steps to the beach. The home easily accommodated our group of 7 adults and 1 child. The only "negative" things about the house were having the kitchen/main living area on the third floor and not having access to the elevator for unloading all of our luggage and groceries at check in. The beach in front of the home was clean and almost completely private. This area was perfect for our 3 year old son because there were no crowds of people and the surf was very calm. However, I was disappointed that the water was cloudy and brown, not clear as I had expected. Fortunately, we had absolutely NO issues with oil! Overall, we had a great vacation and would definitely recommend Sea Esta and Cape San Blas to others who are interested in a laid back trip to the beach!
Owner response:The Sea Esta has an elevator but it is for the owners use only. There is no mention of an elevator in the description of the property on our website. The house is a beautiful home and everyone loves it. If there is a storm out in the Gulf it can churn up the water anyplace on the Cape. That is something we can't control, however, when there aren't any storms the water is very blue as shown in the photos on our web site. Thank you for the positive comments about our home. We are very proud of it and our guests always mention how well it is maintained.

We had a great time at the Sea Esta beachfront home. We loved the quiet isolation and the dolphin displays almost every day. They were the best part of the trip. The house was nice and we loved being so near the beach.

The group had a great week of relaxation at this house! The cable and wireless were very useful for rainy days, and the beach was deserted and beautiful for the sunny ones. The house is gorgeous!
