Absolutely Wonderful!! Our first week at the Cape with our grand daugher and daughter, and we made memories we will never forget. The Home by the Sea, was just that....Our Home for an entire week...we felt quite at home and had everything we needed...Yep....Everything. Perfect weather the entire week...the sun sets...well a "master-piece" each evening!! the cool thing was, a lot of folks were out to say "nite nite" to the sun and "hey" to the moon!! nice spectator sport indeed. We will be back if not sooner....next year!!

i would just like to say our family stayed @ home by teh sea the week of 7/18/2011 and it was the best time ever. The house was great just a short walk to the beach with white sands and beautiful water. I have 3 children ages 7, 12 and 16 they all had a great time. The Kite family was great and the list of restaurants and things to do helped out greatly. Panama is only 1 hour away, we visited twice and had a great Tamaras Cafe by far the freshest and best gouper i ever ate. thanks again for a great vacation.

We stayed here the last week of Aug 2011 and it was very nice. Close to the beach, and had everything you needed and somethings that you would not think about until you got there. It was very nicely done and great beds and a internet connection when you duck out of the sun.

4th time staying at the "Home by the Sea" and it is just as impressive as the 1st time we stayed. Home is clean and well maintained. We hardly take more than a bathing suit and beach towels, because the house has everything and anything we might need. The owner is extremely helpful in updating information about local restaurants, things to do and see. Beach location is just right for relaxing or for small children. I have recommended this rental to family and friends, and we will be planning our return trip soon!

My family of 5 spent a great week at Cape San Blas. The house was fantastic. So many little features that you would forget or have to lug from home are provided by the Kites. We really felt right at home from the moment we walked in. Only 100 steps from the deck to the beach. Great surroundings, view, and value. We all can not wait to go back.

We rented the Home by the Sea for a week, June 4-11 and had a marvelous time. The condo was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and had every amenity we could even imagine using. The views were spectacular, and the walk to the beach was even closer than we expected. Al and Susan were a pleasure to work with from the very first contact from prompt response to questions, to restaurant recommendations and even recipes! The beds were incredibly comfortable. It was hard to get out of them! We really enjoy cooking, and the kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed from an espresso machine to an egg separator. They even provided beach chairs and boogie boards, so we were able to pack more lightly than usual. The wireless connection was excellent, and we had no difficulty getting online when we needed to. We recommend the Home by the Sea highly and can't wait to come back!

Bliss, pure bliss is the best adjective to describe our stay at Al and Susan's "Home by the Sea". Not once during our entire stay did I ever think or utter the phrase, "I wish there was one of these or I wish this house had this." The home was clean, comfortable, and situated in a location close to all the activities the area has to offer. Sit on the deck and enjoy the views of the ocean. Hop on the bikes and ride down to the amazing State Park in one direction and interesting beach near the lighthouse in the other. Al and Susan's hospitality before, during, and after our stay was an added plus to the whole experience. I highly recommend this rental. You will love your stay in their "Home by the Sea". Now...if we could just get them to adopt us into the family.....hmmmm. :-)

"Our" Home by the Sea

My husband and I are finishing our two month stay in Cape San Blas here at Home by the Sea. We have had such a wonderful time! "Your" home was so comfortable and provided every convenience we needed--we truly felt "at home." Except that our home during this time of year is covered in snow! Instead we enjoyed the snow white beach, gorgeous sunsets, fabulous views, starry starry nights, and a great night's sleep! No wonder we started calling it "our" Home by the Sea!! Al and Susan were so generous and helpful offering a variety of suggestions for extra activities in which we could take part. We loved exploring the region and sampling the local foods! We are already planning to encourage our friends and family to come to this area and stay at "our" Home by the Sea!!"

This trip was my 2nd time staying at "Home By the Sea", and it was great...again. Very relaxing, peaceful, great walks on the beach at St. Joseph State Park, sitting by the waterfront in Appalachicola, and St. George Island, enjoying God's creation, seeing the stars at night. The Home By the Sea has anything and everything you could ever want. Al & Susan were very informative and great to talk to. I highly recommend this home, the area as a great getaway, and have told my friends about it. I look forward to visiting again.
