Serenity, Nature and Comfortable Living!
The home was just beautiful & equipped with all of the creature comforts one could desire. The sunrise views overlooking the bay off the large spacious balconies are just spectacular! The primary bedrooms are large and equipped with oversized showers and the kitchen is perfect for those who love to cook! We loved kayaking while both fishing and birding in this bay filled with sea life.

Get location and cozy
The house accommodated our family of 7 easily. The big, back decks were nice to sit on and relax while looking out at the bay. Beach access was close and we either drove or walked. We rode bikes everyday to the c-store and indulged in tub ice cream. We saw many large crabs as we kayaked thru the bay. Mgmt communication was swift when we had questions prior to arrival. We would not hesitate to go back.

First trip to cape San blas
The location of this house is great. The views are great. The size was just what we needed. However the house itself needs some TLC. All the towels are old and mismatched and don’t looo that clean. The pictures do not Accurately depict the property. The outdoor furyiturws was tossed around the deck. It’s mismatched and old. The grill is just awful the interior is rotting. The gazebo is a mess! Lights don’t work there is no seating and it’s just nothing like the photos. The ad says 4 kayaks but there are 3. We shared the pier and unfortunately the neighbors were always using it to fish. The kitchen is stocked with lots of stuff but a mess and leftover condiments making several cabinets dirty and kinda icky. Shades would be nice in the master otherwise you are up with the sunrise. It’s just a tired house needs a little money spent on some new towels and sheets and a deep clean of the baths and kitchen. We loved Cape San blas, no crowds.

Old house on the bay
The house was very very dated. It needs to be totally renovated from the ground up. Floors were uneven, mold was everywhere, no coverings on the bathroom windows or the bedrooms. The AC worked great and the views were beautiful.

Great stay!
We had a great stay at Trudy May's! Other family was staying at Amelia by the Bay house and it was a short walk to visit and get together. Our house was clean, bright and well equipped for our needs. Parking was fine, but we did make the mistake of trying to get our boat down the lane and turned around. With the narrowness of the lane and the new house next door, that is a real challenge. Otherwise, we had another great week at the Cape. Look forward to next year already!

Great property, great time on the water!
This property is an amazing stay for anyone that enjoys fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, or just sitting on the dock watching the sun rise. Plus there’s tie ups for your boat. If you wanna keep it in the water for the entire stay. It is on the bay side so no sandy beaches, but if that’s your thing, the beach access is just a half mile down the road, and there are bikes with a paved bike path that runs the entire way there. The house is very nice, with lots of bathrooms and showers, and plenty of beds and sofa space to give everyone a place to sleep. The kitchen is very well appointed, and we were able to prepare the fresh fish and blue claw crabs we caught from the bay every night. There are multiple porches to sit on with your morning coffee and watch the sun rise, which is absolutely gorgeous! We have stayed at this property two times now, and Amelia has been a very attentive property owner. The few little things that we mentioned from the first stay (broken ice maker in fridge, and slow drain in master bathroom) were fixed and functional when we came back. Plus there have been big updates to the property that have made it even better, like paving the area below the house for easier parking of multiple vehicles, and providing a ping pong table for additional entertainment. There was also a brand new, huge sectional sofa that replaced a couple smaller sofas that were previously in the living room, which has made seating WAY better for a large crowd.

Scalloping was slow this year but we were there for friends and relaxing. Success!! Your property is exactly what we've needed, not on top of people but perfectly secluded. The neighbors (to the west) the ones that purchased your other property were extremely friendly people. You couldn't have sold to better people. Thanks again for sharing your property with us. We look forward to next year and hope we can book on a good date! Thanks again for your hospitality. Clayton Wells

Great location and house was nice. Really enjoyed the views and breeze. Another family was using the shared dock most of the days so we didn’t use it as much as hoped. Take your own beach chairs as the ones with he house are old and rusty, and have a plan for ice. Home doesn’t have an ice maker and freezer was not making ice
