Dog friendly duplex

This was exactly what we were looking for. It was close walk to beach with boardwalk to the ocean. We took our boat and had plenty of room for parking. There was plenty of outdoor seating if you have time to sit. They had plenty of extra bedding and towels if needed. The community was dog friendly and almost all residents had dogs. Easy location to get in and out of and conveniently located.

We loved our Stay here. Great location. Short walk to the beach. We rented a golf cart which was fun also and made going back and forth to the beach so easy. We loved the low key non crowded beaches. The townhome was adorable. Very clean and it had everything we needed. A great use of space with the layout and loft! The owner was very sweet, informative, and easy to contact. Highly recommended.

Great Communication and Host Availability

We loved everything about our stay. Even the day of our checkin, Jeanie was available to call to go through the checkin process, and due to a last minute emergency, she ended up cleaning and preparing the property herself so that it would be ready for us. When we got there, she made sure we had no issues with getting inside and told us to call if we had any issues. We had a fantastic stay at this property. Nothing was out of place, everything was clean. Very short walk to the beach. And we overall felt prioritized as guests here during our stay. Would recommend to anyone and would love to stay again.

Cape San Blas

The place was clean but we ran out of toilet paper and paper towels. The beach cart that was there was broken down and was useless. We ended up having to rent one. The property was a little farther from the beach than we would have wanted. The time was okay.. not my best experience renting a property.

Lots of TLC needed.

The home needs complete updating on inside decor.. the televisions are all 90's box style.. The living room furniture is mixed matched with one sofa extremely uncomfortable. There is a sign on thermostat to not drop below 76 or air conditioner will freeze which at times we became very warm in the house. With lots of TLC and updates it could be nice. I notified the owner of all my concerns..she was there the next day and bought a extra new grill..new setting for the area down stairs, beach chairs. I helped her rearrange the upstairs deck and she received help from the roofer to remove all shingles and pick up cigarettes butts. The deck still needs pressure washing and new rugs painting would be a plus. This house was clearly not ready to be rented and never should have been listed under these conditions. I was given a option by the husband to evacuate the premises immediately and receive a refund because he felt I was belittling their efforts in fixing the home up post hurricane. Should there have been somewhere else to stay we would have done that. My children left on Saturday and myself on Sunday the reservation was through Monday. It was truly a unpleasant experience but a learning one. **** The home was not ready to be rented **** It also does not look like the photos posted on VRBO... maybe at one time but they are not up to date. I really feel I got stiffed but what can you do ??

Went to CSB for a long weekend to relax and do some fishing. Upon arrival we located the key box and let ourselves in, the host allowed us to check in early.2 nice bedrooms, bathrooms downstairs and a loft which we didn't use. We enjoyed the porch with ceiling fans which allowed us to catch a couple of sunsets across the bay. The walk to the beach is an easy 2 minutes or so. The beach is wide and not crowded and has a little vehicle traffic which was well behind where folks sit on the beach. The location is near Salinas park which has vehicle beach access, a bay boardwalk, and pickleball courts. Its a quick drive to PSJ and about 25 minutes to Appalachicola.Next visit we plan to bring one of our dogs. The upstairs porch has a dog gate, nice.Looking forward to our next visit.

Beautiful home

The host was amazing and the home was very clean and updated. There is a pretty good walk to the beach if you have to haul a bunch of stuff. That was really my only issue was the walk to the beach with all of our stuff in tow. Beautiful area. The home is also a duplex which I did not realize at the time of renting. We had no trouble with neighbors at all and the area was very quiet!

This was a perfect place to stay when you are at a property with beach access and close to the Park Launch. Nice to be able to clean your catch downstairs and rinse the days activities away and then go upstairs to eat and shower. We appreciate having the ease and comfort of a home away from home.

Great weekend getaway

Our family loved our stay here. It was the perfect size for our family, great location (15 minutes from Port St Joe and 15 minutes from the state park). We enjoyed the beach in the neighborhood but a beach wagon is a must if you have lots of beach gear since it's a 5-10 minute walk from the home. The overall place was great and the host gave us great tips about the area. Will definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Jeanie Walker, Owner/Manager

Host profile image
Lifelong love of panhandle coastline. Passion for sharing Tha Kingfish Beach Owner/Manager/Excellent Hostess, Cape Dunes Gulf-side Community, share local area info for vacation enjoyment. Dolphin watching is the greatest pastime; deep sea fishing for red snapper and other fish off the shore of Carrabelle and river only 8 miles away. Deep sea fishing was a favorite childhood pastime with my Mother with memories which include cousin/classmate best friend, many family members, countless friends and now many repeat guests as friends. I am blessed with such rich childhood coastal memories, appreciate my parents dedication to provide meaningful family coastal annual vacations; marine life observation, birding, very relaxing! Golf, museums, beaches, dining, fishing and sunning; wide private beach with a full compliment of amenities: boardwalk, beach chairs/wagon/tent/beach toys/boogie boards/towels for sunning; dolphin watching; sea turtle nesting observation from a safe distance; horseback riding; bonfires on the beach; long walks; shelling; sunning from the beach chair; and tremendous exercise opportunities on miles of beach shoreline (bring hat and personal umbrella)!

Why they chose this property

A truly remarkable place for relaxing, beach, walks, shelling and enjoying 'the forgotten coast'.

What makes this property unique

Very private beach, lots of scenic water, dunes and natural habitat/foilage representative of Old Florida. To watch the dolphins feed/play in the water and view horseback riding on the beach while sun bathing on our secluded beach is amazing.
