  My wife and I have had one of the best vacations we have ever had. Peace and quiet. Only bad thing is the 27 steps. Place is real clean and every bedroom has a fantastic view of the Gulf. You look out the window and swear you are on a cruise ship. Front deck is one of the best in the area as it gets mid morning sun all the way thru sundown. The Mills have gone out of there way to accommodate all kinds of vacationers with Beach Blast. Shell hunters delight. If you feed seagulls you can actually name special ones. I think a few might follow us back to Ohio. The Grill in Apalachicola has some of the best food in the area. It has been there for over 100 years so I guess they know what they are doing. We would recommend this to anyone wanting a super nice hassle free vacation without all the houpla of big cities. If this place had an elevator it would be heaven on Earth. You can hear the waves 24 hours a day. Front deck is less than 50 feet from the Gulf.

  Owner response: We are the second story to a Gulf front home. The stairs are broken down with 5/6 steps then a landing. There are 4 seperate landings. The excersise REALLY makes your cold beverage taste wonderful;-) Beach blast itself is all on one level once you arrive. These guests were awesome and hope to have them back soon!!!

  We stayed Jan. and Feb. '12 and enjoyed Beach Blast very much. Kelly and Gary are the best. They did everything possible to make sure our stay was very comfortable. The property caretakers Tammy and Steve were always close and anxious to help if we needed anything, and provided some really interesting local information. Winter at the Cape is a time for relaxing. The beach is just down the steps and the weather is so much warmer than at home in Ohio. Our dog loved the walks,we collected shells and watching the dolphins on their daily trips up the beach. Several businesses are closed or have shorter winter hours so it's a good idea to call ahead. Scallop Cove or the Trading Post are within walking distance which is very handy. Everyone we met (locals and snowbirds) were extremely nice. This is our first visit to the Cape and we love the lifestyle. We will be back!

  We stayed a week at Beach Blast and from the moment we arrived we were relaxed and felt at home in the Mills condo. The colors that Kelly used make it look and feel like a resort and the views are absolutely off the chart. we have vacationed all over the Gulf coast and this is hands down our favorite spot for now on! Enjoy coffee in the morning and watch the nearly empty beach and dolphins until you are ready to get in the water. The waves were great for the first two days because of the storm out in Texas, so I got to surf and enjoy getting pounded by the ocean! The remainder of the week it returned to the Gulf waters we all know and love--crystal clear-blue-green and warm. Since this is a dog friendly beach, we brought our 3rd child Lilo who made friends on the beach and enjoyed it as much as we did. At night we enjoyed cooking on the deck and in Kelly's large kitchen, which has every concievable appliance and tool needed. Cape San Blas is a gem if you want to get away from it all. No stop lights, no fast food, no Publix, no Quick Trip and if you unplug the TV you can convince the kids that there is no cable TV out there too! At night you can hear the waves outside. I have not slept so well on a vacation! You know it is a good vacation when you are already talking about what dates to return! BEACH BLAST, we miss you and will see you soon!

  My family & I stayed in this condo last week and had a wonderful time! The view is amazing; we saw dolphins in the mornings and beautiful sun sets in the evenings. We were also able to enjoy a couple of bon fires on the beach the kids espacially enjoyed the s'mores! We can't wait for vacation next year!

  Our family enjoyed a wonderful week at Beach Blast over the Christmas holidays. We had everything we needed -- outstanding views, gorgeous sunsets right at our doorstep every afternoon. Access to the beach was just at the foot of the stairs. Beach Blast has a fun atmosphere (great beach decor), is roomy, clean, and well stocked with games and everything we needed in the way of kitchen supplies and other comforts. Come spend some time at the beach and relax here! We loved it!

  I can't say enough about our stay at Beach Blast. The unit is very spacious and very well equipped for people that choose to stay in and cook. The beds were super comfortable and the bath towels were super soft. The location of the unit is excellent. We couldn't have asked for a shorter walk to the beach or a better view from the deck. The owner Kelly is very accomodating and easy to work with. Great vacation!! Can't wait until next year.

  We had a really terrific time. The girls enjoyed being right on the beach so much that we barely did anything else. We never even made it to the bay like I wanted to. You have a very beautiful home and a great location. We enjoyed the convenience of not having to make a "trip" down to the beach whenever we went. We knew we could come right back and get anything that we forgot to take. We happened to hit a week with a full moon, so the night beach looked like daylight. It was absolutely beautiful! We also went horseback riding down the beach which was alot of fun for us all. You will definitely be hearing from us again! Thanks!!!

  We stayed at this home in Cape San Blas fall break of 2007. I cannot begin to tell you how at home the owners made us feel. The kitchen was well stocked, as well as tips of places to visit while we were there. It truly was home away from home. We highly recommend this rental for anyone with children. It was the best beach vacation we have ever had!
