Great area

Spent most of our time on kayaks on the water behind the house catching lots of fish. Short walk to the beach. Hope to return soon.

Relaxing

We had a great trip and loved Summerbay. It is located very close to shops and still feels very private. The dock is a wonderful spot to watch the sunrise, fish, or kayak from. It is a short walk across the street to the beach. We would stay here again!!!!

Disliked: Check-in
When we checked in, there was no water. Upon further investigation I discovered that the pipe leading to the house had been broken into. i called Pristine properties and they called maintenance. When the guy showed up and saw the problem, he called a plumber. The plumber showed up an hour later and fixed the pipe, told me to wait 30 minutes for the glue to dry then go up to the road where the meter box was and turn the water valve on. It was an ordeal. We arrived at 4 pm and the water was back on at 8:30 pm.We never could get the TV in the front room to pick up any channels. The tv setup was totally confusing.

BE AWARE - Unattended damage and no response from management @ Pristine Properties Vacation Rentals

This was so very disappointing! We stayed at this property back in May and had an incredible time with family. The main reason we chose this property is the dock that leads to the bay, since we love to kayak. This feature is also pointed out in the listing. For our return visit two weeks ago with friends, we received a phone message from the management company - Pristine Properties Vacation Rentals - two hours before our arrival that the dock is blocked off due to damage to the steps at the dock. Again, the dock is the main reason we chose this property. We drove over 7 hours with friends who also brought all their gear, and the dock was blocked due to damage from a storm 3 weeks earlier. It was so disappointing, and the management team and had plenty of time not only to attend to the repairs (the steps could have been easily repaired in an hour—mainly because they needed to be secured to the dock) but also should have contacted us many days before we drove all the way. I also called and used the text options multiple times and was promised three separate times that Suzanne on the management team would call me back and address our disappointment, but I never got such a call. We have been coming to the Cape since 1984 and have never had such a disappointing experience and bad communication from a management company.

We appreciate Patrick's feedback and are truly sorry to hear about the issues he encountered during his recent stay. We understand how important the dock is for guests looking to enjoy kayaking and the frustration caused by the late notice regarding its condition. Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances can affect property features. While we strive to keep our guests informed as soon as possible, we recognize we fell short in this instance. We apologize for the lack of communication from our team and will work to improve in that area. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.

Beautiful view

We enjoyed our stay. The soaps and dish washing detergent were a very cheap quality. I would recommend washing all the cooking utensils and pots before using. Some of the bowls were not clean. There is no dishwasher so bring paper goods and cups. It would be nice to have a coffee maker that uses pods. The porch could be much more enjoyable with a nice cup of coffee.

26th Anniversary

We didn't know what to expect, and were pleasantly surprised it was exactly as the ad described - and more! The sunrise/sunset's were absolutely amazing...and the horseback ride at sunset on the beach will NEVER be forgotten! Highly recommend the SummerBay!

Great place!

We had a great time at Summer bay. It was clean and everything worked well. Communication was great with the rental company. It’s such a lovely house, perfect for a small family. Great area on the bay too and hope to stay again one day.

Old Cape San Blas

This older bayside property a good example of why we have been visiting this area for over 30 years. Not many properties are so sheltered from other houses and the noisy main road. The house is in pretty good shape, but could be cleaner. Bugs in window sills and dirt on baseboards. A boil water order was put in place shortly after we arrived but the property management company did not reach out to us. We heard about it from other renters. Great place to watch a wild lightning show!

Nice 30th Anniversary Getaway

We are an active couple with a small poodle who returned to Cape San Blas this year to celebrate our 30th anniversary. We greatly enjoyed our stay at Summerbay. The location, weather and amenities were perfect for us to enjoy all of the things we had planned, such as hiking, kayaking, windsurfing and walking the beach. The house had a secluded feel, even though it was close to stores, etc. We stopped at Piggly Wiggly in Port St Joe on our way in, stocked up on food, paper towels, bug spray, etc. so that we could make our own meals, stay put, and enjoy the beautiful nature by foot, bike or paddle...and that's exactly what we did!

Needs some work

We killed 2 to 4 roaches a day. Laundry room light does not work. The inside of the kitchen cabinets need to be cleaned. The bathroom ceiling fan needs to be cleaned. There is a water drip inside the locked closet. Major trimming needs to be done to the trees in the driveway. The limbs scratched our truck just trying to get to the house. visitors need to be able to turn around in the yard with a boat. The View was beautiful and the furniture was comfortable.

Just Perfect!

Summer bay was perfect for our family of 5. The dock was fun! The home was clean. Only compliant was that several light bulbs were out so I just replaced them. Would stay again!

Great House and Location + Helpful Tips

This was our first stay at Summerbay as we usually rent a few houses up on the bay. The larger lot with space from neighbors and private dock appealed to us, and delivered on both counts. A couple of things to make the stay better would be to pack a white noise machine as the neighbors have a rooster, and if sunrise isn't your preferred waking time, it will drown out the bird. Also pack compostable dishes etc.. if you don't want to be hand washing dishes. My fault, I missed that there was not a dishwasher in this house, as I'd never rented one on the cape that didn't have one in all our years here. We liked the location, and the home did not seem to suffer during hurricane Michael, or was repaired quickly. We would stay again with better planning on our part.

Perfect Sunrise - Great R and R

This place didn’t disappoint for a much needed R & R retreat. The place was clean and convenient, but isolated enough to have privacy and quiet. The bed was very comfortable and the sunrise from the deck is worth getting up for. Looking forward to returning
