We had a great stay at this vacation property! The rental company 360 Blue, Natural Retreats was easy to talk to and took care of questions right away, a replacement hose, and a full propane tank our first day (Sunday). We loved the house and the equipment rental voucher. We would definitely stay here again!

Best Florida Vacation Spot!

The beaches are amazing. I really liked that there is not one condo building or Hotel littering the beautiful beaches.This house was perfect, it was on a quiet cul de sac, safe for the kiddos. We walked to the beach. I watched gorgeous sunrises over the water right from my bed.Many different trails and beaches and so close.Definitely will visit the area and stay in this VRBO again.

Serenity on the Cape

We thoroughly loved our stay at this home. It's directly across from the bay, with easy access for kayaking. It's a 5-minute walk from the ocean side and a 10-minute bike ride to the state park. It's spacious and had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves.

Lovely Vacation Cabin

We spent a week at the Emerald Bay Cabin. It was wonderful. Tucked back on a quiet street across from the bay and within walking distance to the beach. The home was nicely furnished with most of the basics you would need for a stay. Great little home away from home. Perfect for our family of 5 (two parents, three kiddos).

Best place yet!

We’ve stayed in 10 different places on the cape and this was the best yet!! Not a cookie cutter beach house but had cozy rustic yet nice character. Beautiful views of both sunrise and sunsets, easy 5 minute walk to the beach and the bay and boardwalk are literally across the road. Having an open yard was a plus because it kept down the “No-Seeums”. Super comfortable beds and very clean. Just a great place!

Scalloping Paradise

This is a beautiful property, with a chalet/cabin feel. It was perfect to be able to walk across the road to St. Joseph Bay, put our kayaks in, and snorkel for scallops. The breeze is wonderful when sitting underneath the house. Great to dry off after using the outdoor shower. Next door neighbor (a year-round resident) was quite friendly and a pleasure to speak with. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, this was the perfect mix of beauty and relaxation. We will rent this property again!

First Time in Cape San Blas

We came here because of fewer crowds and a more laid back feel. The views of the bay were fantastic. It was an easy walk to the beach and the Billy Rush recreation area with the Olympic pool. The open living area accommodated the six of us easily. A nice deck off the kitchen was nice in the mornings and evenings with a view of the sunrise and the full moon. Kitchen was only adequately stocked. No storage containers or cookie sheets. Needed more towel rods in bathrooms. However, we would definitely come again.

Awesome find at a Beautiful Beach!

The house was well described in the listing, very clean, well appointed, and the beds in the master and queen slept amazingly!! Check-in was a breeze. Check-out was way easier than usual for VRBO properties. Views were amazing all day long. We did have an issue with air and they sent out a technician that day. Unfortunately, it wasn’t fixed then but as soon as I let them know they sent the technician back out and he fixed it. The technician was nice and polite and tried to be as non-intrusive as possible. We enjoyed our time and loved the place and home!

Beautiful, Peaceful Property

Excellent property in very good condition. Clean and well appointed. Convenient location. Unobstructed bay view. Just a couple of blocks to the beach - easy walk or bike ride. Less that a mile to the State Park that has tons of beautiful high dunes. There are just a few minor issues that led to 4 stars, instead of 5: 1) Two different wifi passwords were provided (one in an email, the other in the website check-in instructions). Neither of these was correct. The 2nd one just had two numbers transposed. We called the evening we arrived and someone came out early the next morning and provided the correct password (note that the incorrect password was also provided over the phone). Not a huge deal, but this should easily be resolved - details are important. 2) The kitchen sink disposal has a tendency to clog. The first clog was resolved during the same service call to fix the wifi. It clogged a 2nd time, but I was able to resolve myself. 3) There is a water facility near the property that has a very low background hum. It is only noticeable when out on the side deck. It can not be heard inside at all. Plus, I'm a bit sensitive to these sounds, so probably not a big deal for most people. Still overall, it was a delightful stay and we would stay here again.
