Gulf views, steps to pool, fire pit, pet friendly, beach gear included!

Thanks for the feedback, Brittany. Although, we wish you would have reached out while here. If the home doesn't have it (which it does) we are happy to provide replacement items as needed. Just a phone call away!

It’s a very short walk to the community beach boardwalk. The pool is directly across the street and the hot tub below the home checks all the boxes on this great home. Be Our Guest!

Barron By the Sea is a great place to spend a week at the beach! The shared pool is like a private pool. Service is our passion!

Baron By the Sea is ready for your return! Be Our Guest again soon!

Baron By the Sea is loaded with features, the community pool is right across the street and almost feels like a private pool. The hot tub, screened porches, fire pit, kayak... the list goes on! Be Our Guest again soon, Wendy!

This beautiful home has it all. While it's not gulf front, the walk is brief and you still have excellent views. The pool, hot tub and other amenities provide all the features for a wonderful beach vacation.

Baron By the Sea is in a lovely community with easy access to a very quiet section of the beach. We love the proximity to the pool and this home comes with a private hot tub and lovely patio with firepit. The screened porch and other features make this home a great place to unwind and discover Cape San Blas!

Baron By the Sea is a super comfortable home with a private hot tub below and an "almost" private pool directly across the street! Be Our Guest again soon, Maureen!

We look forward to your return to Baron By the Sea, Lauren. Be Our Guest!

5 Stars to the guest as well! Thanks, Danny! Be Our Guest again soon!

So glad you loved it as much as we do! Be Our Guest again soon!

Joe, thanks for the feedback, but with every point you've made here you validate our adherence to policies, the quality of the home and our exceptional customer service. You signed a rental contract (and initialed adjacent to this clause) stating that refunds would not be extended for mandatory evacuations unless travel insurance was purchased. You declined the insurance and we made an exception for all of our guests, refunding the two nights of mandatory evacuation. You're welcome. We were fortunate and the hurricane completely missed us. There was not a blade of grass out of line in this area post Hurricane Helene. As you stated, you "chose" not to return after the mandatory evacuation. Most of our other guests returned to enjoy the balance of their stay. VRBO's policy is does protect you for things like mandatory evacuations. However, it does not extend refunds to guests that "choose" not to stay after booking a home. We understand the inconvenience of leaving and returning during a stay and that's why we extended the refunds for two nights. We did not rate you, Joe. There is not an option for a host to leave a "zero" rating for a guest (although, you seem to have earned it!). We "chose" not to rate you as we did not have anything nice to say. Again, you are welcome. If you travel to our amazing area again during hurricane season, we recommend you purchase travel insurance!

Sandy, so sorry you were unable to enjoy your visit. I appreciate you taking my call to discuss this feedback. After speaking with you it was clear your experience stemmed primarily from the fact that your daughter was not a good houseguest. Gosh, that one is certainly out of our control! We work hard to provide accurate descriptions of the home's layout and amenities on our site. We double checked and everything is spot on so, we appreciate the apology, but clearly this review is going to need some explaining! You are correct that the queen bed is not a king size bed (it is advertised as a queen). The beach is ~265 steps from this home and the boardwalk has a very gradual incline over a beautiful, natural and protected dune structure. Kayaks are very easily transported to the beach via the boardwalk, we have guests that do it every week! This is a very natural landscape and if you wander into the areas that are not maintained, it's possible you will find some less than ideal conditions for walking barefoot so let's not disparage the lovely landscaping. Also, we appreciate your comments about construction, but as discussed this was very minimal and did not impact your experience for more than a couple hours one day. "Spring breakers" are some of our favorite guests (as long as they meet our minimum age requirements) as the Cape is an awesome destination in March and April! Again, thank you for helping us highlight how amazing this home is. I'm sure anyone reading this will understand how stressful the holidays can be for some people especially when spending it with family. The next time you decide to spend Thanksgiving at the beach we urge you to consider two homes... one for you and the other for the rest of your family!
