Wonderful Vacation! We plan on returning next year!
We loved everything about this house and its location. Snorkeling in the Bay and watching live sand dollars swim away from us was one of the high lights of our trip. We enjoyed sailing in the bay and fishing for speckled trout early in the mornings. The sunrises were spectacular. The weather was perfect along with the rest of the vacation.
Impressed by DOCK OF THE BAY
Dock of the Bay ended up being much more than I expected. The location relative to Port St. Joe and the couple of general stores on the Cape is very convenient. The pictures don't do the property justice and everyone in our party was thoroughly impressed. The layout caters to families with kids (as was the case for us) and we even hosted a small get-together with friends who were staying at another place on the Cape. While this location is located across the street from the Gulf, the views of the bay were outstanding. We walked to the beach each day we were there and found it to be a very manageable walk. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and we did so several times during our stay. All-in-all, you will not be disappointed if you book the place for your next trip to CSB.
A blast at Cape San Blas
Our family had yet another great vacation at Cape San Blas - the weather was great, fishing was terrific and HomeAway had the most perfect rental for our stay.
Nothing Special
Owner said dockable boat dock . Not... 6:00am high and dry till 12:00 even then had that all our might to get our ordinary flats boat out of the mud. Everything is very sparse just picked up from garage sales. Utensils for cooking were the worst. Owners obviously just want to make as much profit as possible. Save yourself a disappointment and stay on the beach side.😫
Disappointed
Pros
The view from inside the property of the bay is the best view I've seen. Also the house sits on a large private lot and there are two master bedrooms. That said...
Cons
We rented this home primarily because of the dock. It was so crusted over with bird refuse that it was unusable. I took a video and sent it to the owner and her response was that she could not control nature. As the property advertisement emphasizes the dock it would have been nice if she had someone come clean it for us or offered a discount. We could not use it to come and go with our boat as planned.
Also the screened in back porch had missing and damaged screens so that you could not sit there and avoid mosquitos. The outlets in one of the master bedrooms did not work at all for the first 3 days (no ceiling light so we had no light at all) and then one worked so we were able to plug in a single lamp. The carpet was very dirty and in need of cleaning. One of the burners on the stove doesn't work. It could be a lovely property but is not in its current condition. I would not recommend it.
Disappointed
Pros
This property has the most beautiful view from the inside of any we have stayed in. It has an expansive view of the bay that my elderly father-in-law could enjoy from his chair in the main room. Also there are two master suites across the house from each other. The lot is large which is great for privacy.
Cons
That said, we rented the home specifically for the dock as we have a boat and were planning on spending a lot of time in the bay via the dock. The dock was so crusted over with bird refuse for most of its length that it was unusable. I took pictures and sent it to the owner and her response was that she could not control nature. It would have been nice if she had offered a discount or had someone try to come clean it for us. Inside the house one of the master bedrooms had no electricity for the first three days, and only one outlet worked in that room for the rest of the week, so that we had one lamp to use for the entire stay. There are holes in the screens of the screened in back porch, and one panel was completely torn open making it unusable when the mosquitos were out. The carpet was stained and in need of cleaning. The house could be a stellar property but needs work. In its current condition I would not recommend it.
