February Beach Vacation 2024

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, it’s a lovely home. Our destinated house was no longer available due to water damage so we found this literally two days before we arrived! The top master suite bed sheets had not been changed, attention to cleanliness was missing. Living room furniture needs to be replaced as it is dirty & the main couch is almost impossible to sit on comfortably. The kitchen is amazing but the dining room chairs are horrible... not comfortable and every move you make “sounds” horrible!Kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The views of the sunset amazing; the porches excellent! Beach nessesities plentiful! Distance to beach perfect; neighborhood lovely! Appliances very nice. Main bathroom lighting is dark. We had to buy better bulbs. Bunkbed sheets a nightmare to change!

Great Place, For a Day

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: Unfortunately we came daown as Idalia was developing from a small tropical storm into the hurricane it became so we were evacuated after 1 1/2 days. The place was beautiful though and we would definitely rent it again. (I don’t want to skew the owner’s results or quality of the place for less than all 5 stars, they had no control over what happened). Cheers!

The PERFECT beach house!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the best stay at Hello Sunshine! It is right next to the community pool (which felt like our private pool) - but we didn’t use the pool a lot, as the boardwalk provided a quick path to a beautiful section of beach. We prefer beach-front, but this is definitely the next best thing at a much better weekly rate. The garage is full of beach toys and essentials that we were thankful to use (umbrellas, floats, wagons, shovels, even kayaks!) The property was well stocked for when we cooked, and almost right across the street from Skully’s for the best food when we didn’t want to cook. It was a gorgeous property and everyone had their own space at the end of the day. My teen son loved the separate “apartment” downstairs and had everything he could need there. We would return in a heartbeat!

July vacation

Great stay. Property management was very good. House worked very well for 13 people. A few needs- fridge icemaker slow, main outdoor stairway was slick when wet. Great proximity to pool. House overall clean and pleasant.

Our best experience

This was the best experience we have had in more than ten years. Clean, spacious. Great view. We called about a few issues (leftover from previous rentals) and they took care of them promptly. This is a great alternative to the crowds in the destin area. Rules seemed strict at first because they are trying to protect their investment. No problems with any interaction.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hello Sunshine is a beautiful property that accommodated our family very well. The nice note, complimentary bag of coffee and 2 Cape San Blas mugs from the home owners were a very nice touch and much appreciated. We’ve been vacationing on Cape San Blas for over 20 years and that was the first welcome gift we’ve ever received.

Amazing, relaxing vacation

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: We had an amazing, short trip to Cape San Blas. It was our first time to the area. Coastal Joe was wonderful to deal with. Britney helped me and answered all of my questions promptly. The house was beautiful and very well located to the community pool (we were the only ones that used it during our stay I believe). The beach was just a short walk as well. We had plenty of room and all we needed at the house. Will definitely stay there again.

A Lot Of Frogs

For as many members of my family that went, it accommodated us well. However, we were unable to use one of the beds because of what looked like a brown stain on one of the mattresses (we were very cautious about that one). There were also quite a few frogs at night time attached to the house, so that was unexpected. Just be wary that there will be a lot of frogs greeting you once the sun starts to set. Overall, we love the location (Cape San Blas), but we will probably not be staying at this property in the future.

There was a plumbing problem in the kitchen which Coastal Joe resolved as quickly as possible but it took the better part of a day. This house was one of the cleanest houses we have stayed in Cape San Blas. Lots of extra beach items too!

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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay but there were small roaches In the kitchen cabinets and in the dishwasher. We did notify you upon checkout so hopefully that has been taken care of! Other than that we had a great time. The bathroom on the main floor is very small considering it is being shared with the bunk room and another bedroom.

Pottery Barn with friends

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I love Cape San Blas and Seagrass Subdivision. Coastal Joe Vacations is the best to work with too! The VayK $250 credit we used for a kayak and then added a stand up paddle board was fantastic. A strap brike on one of the kayak carrying straps andthey quickly came and traded it out...even retrieved the old one from the beach—-those guys are strong! Pottery Barn needed a little TLC but Coastal Joe and the owners were very attentive to any items I broughtt to their attention. Hurricane Michael has probably created more woes. My heart goes out to the Cape and her loss of roads and othe amenities. Also the newly formed islands in the state park will be an interesting challenge for all to overcome. We love this beautiful place and enjoyed our stay.

The upstairs air conditioner struggles and can not keep the temp below 80 during the day. Some boards on the deck are loose. The house has some mold in bathrooms, shower and air vents. Property needs a good cleaning. Happy as usual with Coastal Joe. No worries there.

Great location but the house needs a lot of things fixed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second time staying at this property. Issues from last year were still issues this year. The bathroom on the main floor has a hard time flushing. Paint falling off. Had a hard time opening and locking doors the entire time. The bed in the Master is very bad and not comfortable at all. Dryer takes three times to dry a load of laundry. The rental company was great but the owners of the home don't spend any money on the home or repairs.

Great Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice location and house. House and yard need some TLC. The decking is very splintery and needs to be sealed. Several boards and railings on the steps were loose. I would recommend additional lighting in the rear of house by the steps. At night, it's very hard to even see the steps. The landscaping is bare and much less manicured as compared to the other homes in the subdivision. Overall, very nice place in a wonderful community. I think the description of the property should clearly indicate the suite on ground floor is only accessible from exterior entrance and not from the remainder of the house. Loved dealing with Coastal Joe's!!
