Blast!
We loved it, the weather was a little bit unfriendly for fishing that we intended on doing but we managed. The house is very cozy, situated just were we liked close to the State Park and as well nearby stores and restaurants. Very nice home, will definitely stay again. Loved the sights, wildlife is amazing. Like I said it was a Blast! Thanks Vince.

Peaceful Vacation
Take a Chance was a very peaceful and beautiful place to stay. The home is very close to the beach. The community pool is only a few blocks away and the private walkway to the beach. The house was well stocked with towels we needed and cooking utensils needed. We made a fresh shrimp stir fry one night from the shrimp we got in Port St Joe . The home is very close to Port St Joe where there are lots of nice restaurants I recommend the Quatro Locos the White Marlin and the Smokehouse all great food. We saw a lot of Stingrays swimming when we were at the beach. I had one recommendation to cover the front door with a blind or curtain for extra privacy. Thank you Vince for a beautiful place to stay we look forward to returning to the area again. God bless you and your family and team helping you.

Great rental. Perfect to access the bay and beach. Had to evacuate due to mandatory evacuation and Vince communicated with us throughout. Kitchen could be stocked better but otherwise it was a great place.

Unbeatable Private Getaway
This was our second summer spent at Take a Chance and it just doesn’t get any better than this house. If big views, natural beauty, and solitude are what you are after look no further! This is our favorite house on the Cape by far.

Can’t wait to return
Well situated on the Cape, this home was perfect for the two of us. The kitchen had everything we needed and the entire vacation was better than expected. We’ll be back at Take a Chance asap.
