We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It was cozy and not too far from the beach. Our kids loved playing in the pool. This home was the cleanest vacation rental I have stayed at. It also had everything we needed, and we really appreciated the pantry space for storing groceries.
Great house short drive to stores and restaurants.

Very nice place to stay, very clean and beds were comfy. We stayed for our daughter's wedding and owner was very accommodating to our early check in request. Definitely would stay there again. Beautiful house, close to the beach and pool was nice also.

Hi, Jennifer. We are delighted you were pleased with your stay at Cottage at Surfside. We hope to welcome you back to the Forgotten Coast soon. Thank you for choosing 360 Blue!
Very clean. The most well stocked home we’ve ever stayed in except for no kitchen hand towels or wash clothes. Loved the screened in porch & the pool. The walk to the beach was a little longer than I thought it was but it was ok. The beds were very comfortable. Loved that they had room darling curtains in the bedrooms. Great water pressure for taking showers. Over all it was VERY nice
We enjoyed the beauty of Cape San Blas - what a gem. The house was close to the beach with excellent accommodations. The beds were so comfy! We had a blast and made great memories.

We had a great time. We had some initial problems with the refrigerator and air conditioning. The property managers were there within an hour of our reporting the issue (on a Saturday!), and they followed up in person on Sunday as well. Management also offered to replace our groceries if necessary, but fortunately that was not needed. The master bedroom mattress was exceptionally comfortable; even the bunk bed mattresses were comfortable! We’d love to revisit in the future!

Our family loved our first vacation to Cape San Blas and this lovely rental house was such a big part of that wonderful experience. The location is wonderful and the neighborhood so quiet. The walk to the beach from the house was quick and easy. The beach was not crowded and clean. The house is laid out so well and stocked with so many amenities its impossible to rate it less than 5 stars. The ONLY criticisms we had were that it was not well cleaned the day we arrived. Under the beds in two of the bedrooms had Cheerios, empty grocery bags, a couple dirty socks, and just random food debris. (That was really our only cleanliness concern, but it did creep me out making me wonder where else they might have shortcut on cleanliness that I couldn’t see.) The grill was not functional when we got there but the rental company came out twice in the first couple days to get it going again. After that it was smooth sailing. Like I said, the rental was almost perfect, though the cleaning routine needs to improve so that renters feel the company is taking their cleanliness seriously in a Pandemic.

We had a wonderful time at Cottage at Surfside! The property was even better than we expected! We enjoyed the large bedrooms, the screened in porch, tons of storage in the kitchen and closets, as well as the pool area and easy walk to the beach. We had to call maintenance towards the end of the week for a stopped up drain and garbage disposal…maintenance came quickly and fixed the issues along with replacing a shower head and shower curtain that he just noticed while he was there. We would highly recommend this property and Natural Retreats.
