Beautiful home in a beautiful place! This was our first visit to Cape San Blas, and the house was everything we needed for our vacation. Location was ideal, the newly restored beach was great, house was clean and a great size for our group of six. Loved that it was dog friendly! Host was very responsive to any questions and very clear instructions for checkin/checkout. We would love to come back to The Pickle again, hopefully soon!

We had 2 families staying together with 2 dogs. It was more than we could’ve asked for. Everyone had clean, comfy bed, it was steps away from a clean, nearly empty beach. Exceeded all expectations. Thank you!

Great house! Exactly what our family needed to escape for the Thanksgiving holiday. While the house might look "old" from the road, the inside is well taken care of and modernized with renovations. The appliances are great, plenty of cookware, amazing location. I would stay here again.

Beautiful, clean home with beautiful views. Management employees were pleasant and were available by text and phone. I received a lot of great informative texts but I called at 5:30pm on check-in day since I did not receive the check-in text for when the house was ready. Once I did call, check in was easy. I would definitely refer this home to family/friends and would love to return. Overall, the stay was relaxing and enjoyable.

Perfect Beach Getaway – Clean, Convenient & Relaxing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at The Pickle and would absolutely come back. The location is hard to beat—just a short walk to the beach, which made it easy to go back and forth throughout the day. The property was exactly as described and very well maintained.Everything was clean when we arrived, and the layout worked well for a relaxing beach trip. We especially appreciated how dog-friendly it was, which made traveling with our pups stress-free. The area felt safe and quiet, but still close enough to everything we needed.The management company was easy to work with, and the check-in/check-out process was smooth and straightforward.Overall, this was a great experience and a perfect spot for a beach vacation. We’d definitely recommend it to friends and family.

The house was so nice and in a great location to restaurants and shopping. The balconies were perfect for sunrises and sunsets. We had never seen so many shells as there were on the beach. I already want to go back. The property staff were so friendly and communication was top notch from time of reserving the house until we checked out. Love this!!

Nice, pet friendly with good location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Pickle was perfect and very comfortable for a relaxing week with our adult children and our dog. Britney and the other staff members I spoke with were very helpful and pleasant. It’s wonderful to have a nice place to stay on a beautiful beach that allows us to bring our pets but a couple other rental guests in the area didn’t follow the leash rules and let multiple pets run up and down the beach without controlling them. Overall, it was exactly the vacation we were looking for and we all enjoyed our time there.

TLC Needed

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely love The Pickle. Weve stayed around 5 times but despite a few updates it’s still in need of some serious TLC. The beach, views, porch, location and bedrooms are great but the kitchen area is not up to standard for rentals theses days. The sink backs up, no garbage disposal, no kurig, and overall feels grimy. The worst past of all though is the mold from a leak in the ceiling and around all of the rusty air vents. It’s sad because this place is really wonderful.

The house and rooms were as pictured. However, with the beach renewal that took place there is a large sand berm that you have to cross to get to the beach. That was difficult for some of our guests. perhaps that will be smaller in time. You don't really see that in the pictures. Description of the house did say that they give starter supplies of TP ect. So bring everything you need from dishwasher soap, laundry soap and trash bags. Didn't mention that there was only 1 bath towel per guest for the week, so we had to do laundry. The property host was very timely in answering my questions or making a request. I appreciated that.Lastly, the main level sliding door was very, very difficult to open. 2 of our guests weren't strong enough to open. They did send someone to look at, and he made is slightly easier but still difficult. I won't miss that door. Haha. Otherwise, a very positive stay and lovely view.

We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the home, the views, and that our team was responsive during your stay. We appreciate you mentioning the sand berm as well. Beach conditions can change quickly, especially after nourishment projects, and unfortunately those changes aren’t always reflected in photos right away. We’re hopeful it continues to level out over time, but we understand how that could be challenging for some guests. Thank you also for your notes on the starter supplies and towels. We do try to note that only an initial supply is provided, but your feedback is helpful and we’ll review how we can make those details even clearer for future guests.

Loved this house and Location!

We absolutely loved our vacation in this house at Cape San Blas. We had a family of four and my two older family members (in their 80’s) who came with us. The house is awesome, clean, comfortable with nice furniture and a completely stocked kitchen. It is right on the beach. The house had everything that we needed even things that I forgot, it had. We enjoyed the board games, we watched movies, played on the beach. We sat out on the amazing deck that has plenty of comfortable seating and had drinks and watched incredible sunsets. We drove just down the road to the state park and rented kayaks and stayed at the beach for a day and had a picnic lunch. Even my teenagers who can sometimes be bored loved this place, we had so much family time. We got donuts from the little local homemade donut place down the street and they were the best we’ve ever had. I just really can’t say enough about this house the location and our week there. Also, the property managers are super responsive and kind and we had a great experience with them as well. We cannot wait to go back!!

Great dog friendly home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house. We only consider it 3 bedroom because the 4th is lower level, would not let our little kiddos stay down there. We had some problems getting TV’s to work but honestly we brought one fire stick from home and this saved us. Will bring more than one in the future. We were far enough down the beach from the rocks that there was actually some beach in front of the house so that was a relief since so many had almost none. Only recommendations would be to update cookware, some of the skillets we’re almost impossible to keep things from sticking and other thing would be to get an auto off coffee maker. We left this on one night overnight and it could have been bad. The light on it isn’t easily seen so we just unplugged it from then on. We love renting from coastal Joe they are always quick to try and fix any problems!

Thank you for your feedback. The owners have replaced the coffeemaker. We will do an inventory on the kitchen items, and replace as needed.

Great house & location, some issues

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is in a great location, the views are incredible and overall it was good. We did have some issues with AC (not their fault as it was extreme hot), they were quick to fix.Issues though with sliding door to the deck that was very difficult to open (this was probably #1 issue), dryer took many cycles to dry, the curtains in the master were not blackout (if you’re not a morning person you will be up when the sun comes up), the ice maker on/off arm was broken so constantly made ice and spilled under (we did not report this as wasn’t a terrible inconvenience). Something must have been dead in the storage but we only opened that door once so we didn’t care. With all the issues, the house was overall ok and we made the best of it. The office was so quick to respond and when I walked over to chat about the issues, Barbie (?) was very friendly and helpful.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're so glad you enjoyed the location and those incredible views, and we appreciate your kind words about our team. Providing prompt service is always our goal, especially during periods of extreme summer heat when HVAC systems are working overtime. We also appreciate you bringing the other maintenance items to our attention. Some of these concerns, such as the sliding glass door, ice maker, and dryer performance, were not reported during your stay, so we were unfortunately unable to address them while you were here. We have shared your feedback with our maintenance team so these items can be inspected and corrected for future guests. Thank you again for your valuable feedback and for recognizing our staff's efforts. We're happy to hear you were able to enjoy your stay despite the few inconveniences, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.
