Cape San Blas is a hidden gem. It's not commercialized and it has a relatively private beach, yet…read morethere are plenty of amazing restaurants around. My wife and I came in November and particularly enjoyed the fact that there were enough people around so that it didn't feel eerie, but not too many people to feel claustrophobic. There's amazing seafood at at-least a dozen restaurants nearby, and a beautiful state park within walking distance. We loved how natural everything feels. It feels like it's untouched almost. Cape San Blas is also about as dog friendly as you get. You can't take dogs with you to restaurants because of government ordinances, but other than that they can go everywhere you are. We were unable to bring our dog on this particular trip, but there were many to meet and pet along the way. The condo itself was beautiful. It's four stories high, so you get your workout going up and down the stairs, but it's perfect when you have kids with you so you don't have to feel like you need to be quiet. The kitchen was great, the access to the beach was amazing, and this was our first beach side bonfire experience. Wow! There are many other things that we loved from the turtles in the pond to the Dolphins we got to see not too far from us every day. But the best part of all was the sunsets. Every single night you have the best view of the sunset and it's never looked better. If you want to truly relax and get away from it all, this is the place to go. Look no further than Cape San Blas in the Cape escape. They were great to work with and we had so much fun. Note: don't forget your trip insurance! We almost missed out due to a hurricane!

These little cottages are managed, but not owned by The Port Inn (next door), so that's where you…read moreneed to check in. (You can also enjoy their continental breakfast.) You can rent them daily, weekly, or monthly. Our cottage had two bedrooms and 1.5 baths, so for our little family, it was perfect. There was also a pull out couch that I think was a queen. There was a full sized kitchen that was fully stocked with dishes, pots &pans, and even grill utensils. There was a small dining table with 4 chairs. There is even a stacking washer/dryer. The small pool out front is 3-5' deep. There's also a community grill and pavilion with chairs and lounge chairs. You can walk to so many restaurant's and boutiques. The only thing keeping this place from being 5 stars is the bathroom. There was mold on the shower curtain, mold on the windows sill, and rust showing through the paint next to the tub. If they would fix that, then the location, size of the unit, and the amenities would make it a five star.

We brought both of our kayaks on a trailer. With plenty of room for them and the truck. We love the privacy of the place. The only hong I would recommend would be curtains in the master and living room. They both have amazing views of the water but I still like the privacy at night of curtains or blinds. We deff will be back! Close to the cape and great access to the bay w/ the kayak!

March 2015, I stayed at a property called Turpentine on the plantation side, gated community at one end of the island. They have lots of trails for walking and biking. You can also take a short walk to the beach. The community has a gym and a pool. Everyone is super friendly and it was the most relaxing and beautiful vacation I've had in a long time. They have a few shops in the center of the island near the lighthouse. Some food stores a bit pricey but you can go off the island to the town of Apalachicola where they have Piggly Wiggly and Gulfside IGA store. Make sure you visit Apalachicola while you are staying, they have lots of shops in the center of town. Gibson Inn has the freshest oysters and nice cozy atmosphere. I've been to this area twice and enjoy something new every time. The view of the stars at night on the island is amazing, especially on dark streets away from street lights....I can still see them in my head....breathtaking.
