Great getaway location

We're a family of 4 (2 high school/college kids) + dog who spent a week at Gone Shellin for spring break. It was our first time on Cape San Blas. The house was great - it had everything we needed for a very relaxing week. Location is amazing - steps from the beach and you can walk and bike to little shops for food, groceries, etc. Would definitely rebook!

A great vacation experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: I would highly recommend both Gone Shellin and Coastal Joe. The home was very clean, and clearly maintained well. The decor was nice and the whole place was very comfortable. If I could make one suggestion it would be to screen in the deck. But that certainly won't keep me from staying here again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We go to CSB each year, love the place. Gone Shellin is average, a bit worn down, lights for bedtime reading not good. Coastal Joe is a very good rental agency, by far the best on the Cape.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our week, the view is very good fo second row. Gone Shellin is a bit cluttered for our taste, but is very well positioned on the cape. The actual shelling seems to be finally recovering from Deepwater Horizon disaster, and the beach renourishment worked.

Reviewer Comments: We just completed our 3rd stay at Coastal Joes and it is always a joy for us to stay there:) Next year we are brining along a knife sharpener...The view is wonderful even tho it is not directly on the water. I would definitely recommend Coastal Joes to a friend but not while we are there. Our winters belong in Cape San Blas while staying in Coastal Joes:)

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gone Shellin was in good shape, post Michael, we enjoyed the stay, the beach is in great shape. A few details still need attention, but nothing major is wrong. We left a corkscrew, it needed one. Still could use a church key. Small stuff!

Nice location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: With its short walk to the dog friendly beach and view of the ocean, this place is a good value for the price. That said, it could use an overall refurbishing. All is functional, but dated and well used. Unfortunately, it was not very clean, the stove top, refrigerator exterior, throw rugs, place mats and trash can were uncomfortably dirty.
Response from VrboOwner on 1 Feb 2023
Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. We really wish you would have called at some point during your stay so we could have addressed the issue. The owner is constantly updating, and is always willing to accept feedback when it comes to improving her home. After an extremely busy season, Gone Shellin' was able to be deep cleaned in mid Dec.

Gone Shellin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Gone Shellin has a good location with only a few steps to the boardwalk. The rental was clean and stocked with everything we needed. The porch has a decent view of the gulf between the two houses in front of it. This rental is pet friendly, but the porch does not have a puppy gate, which would have been more convenient. We would definitely rent again because of the close location to the beach. We were quite pleased with this vacation rental.
Response from VrboOwner on 31 May 2022
Thank you for the great review! We will definitely look in to getting a puppy gate for the deck.

A Paradise.........

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This has been our 5th time to Cape San Blas and it never grows weary. Gone Shellin is perfect for us. We play games on the deck and having a washer/dryer is always a plus:) We wish it would be a bit cleaner but that is something we can live with. I would recommend Gone Shellin to friends but be sure I did not recommend it a time we were not needing it:)

Goneshellin was its usual self

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: The condo has its normal small issues, grill nonfunctional, no can opener, but, someone has added about 4" thick soft foam pads on top of the mattresses, you can not sit on edge of bed to put on socks, you lean, and once you mastered the climb, you are trapped, can not move around in bed
Response from VrboOwner on 29 Mar 2023
Wouldn't recommend after the 4th stay in this home? The owner of Gone Shellin' is extremely attentive and always open to suggestions, however we cannot correct the issue if we're not told about it. The other reviews for this home speaks for themselves. Some people just feel the need to complain no matter the circumstances, but the combative and demeaning correspondence before arrival, and after departure were simply not called for. We wish you the best of luck with your next accommodation.
