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.

We deff will be back! Close to the cape and great access to the bay w/ the kayak!

we stayed at Blue Belle in July…read more I have been traveling to St George Island for thirty years. This is by far the worst and incompetent company that I have ever delt with. You have been warned. They called me the day of arrival at 2pm. They said the elevator was broken and they would try to get it fixed. Both my parents are 80, and this was a major inconvenience for them. Cape and Coast were rude when I called and said elevators were not included in their guarantee. after talking with them, I would like to inform future renters what are not covered in their "guarantees". this is directly from them. "Elevators, hot tubs, ice machines, and similar amenities that may be present are provided as a courtesy, and at no additional cost, but are not guaranteed. These systems are subject to mechanical failure, and no refunds or credits will be issued in the event of malfunction or unavailability during your stay. While every reasonable effort will be made to arrange for repairs, continued functionality cannot be guaranteed. These amenities are not designed to meet accessibility or mobility needs and should not be relied upon for those with special needs or mobility issues." The real issue with this company is they never called us once during the entire stay. Nobody came to even look at the elevator. There was no attempt to fix or make this problem better. I felt so sorry for the people staying after us. Im sure they were told the same hogwash we were, "that the elevator just broke and they were trying their hardest to fix it." My parents struggled the whole week to navigate the house. So basically anything in the house or outside the house is not guaranteed, this includes pools. if you want to enjoy your vacation, rent from a different agency that cares for their renters.

Placed same review in survey, no acknowledgement. Placed call spoke with Miki w mgt team and she apologized and ended conversation with mgt team would review and get back with me. To this day July 14, no response. VERY DISAPPOINTED and will never put my trust in this company again.

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!

One tub wouldn't drain the other tub wouldn't stop the water for a bath. Propane tank had an 1/8 of gas in it. Ac wouldn't work and got up to 81F because they didn't even have batteries in the thermostat. A cleaning crew, a plumber, and a ac service man all had to come the day we checked in. No discount or refund offered. Seems like a like of leadership at the top for the house inspectors to come in and say everything is good during check in. I guess they just overlook the mold and ceiling falling in. Ownership doesn't put a dollar back into the house, needs some TLC. I will post the pictures of the attic full of black mold after I show it to my lawyers if they can't do the right thing.

The house has a bad mold and mildew problem that makes it uncomfortable to be in. If anyone has any respiratory issues I would not even consider. It's disappointing that a management company doesn't seem to inspect these home regularly. The problem didn't just happen overnight. Lots of other issues with the house but they are not so terrible they couldn't have been overlooked a little easier if there hadn't been a leak in the ceiling during rain and the mold issue. We were basically told for the price of the rental that's what we had to deal with. I don't care if the rental price is $10 if you have to be in moldy, mildewy, stinking accommodations.

If you like roaches in the kitchen and working for a property management company while YOU'RE…read morepaying to stay in their facility on your vacation, this group is for you. I am astounded by the poor management, poor condition of the unit we rented for the week, and the company's refusal to take accountability for the issues. Picked up keys on Sunday and the first night, live roaches were discovered in the cutlery drawer. We immediately reported to the property management office, left a voice mail after hours. A kind employee returned my call the next day, said the manager was out of the office until Tuesday, they didn't have any available properties to relocate us to, but she could immediately coordinated to have the bug sprayer return (indicating the unit had been spayed prior to our check in on Sunday) and for a cleaner to come address the kitchen. The contractors weren't available to meet this need until Tuesday. So we cleaned the kitchen items before we used anything and again after we used anything. We saw more live roaches and dead roaches the following days. We saw roaches in the kitchen every single day during our stay. I sent pictures to the office email to report again and voiced my concerns. No change. AC instructions provided said the thermostat could not be set below 72 degrees or the units would freeze. The 3rd floor AC unit was not functioning and there was a 10 degree temp difference between the 2nd and 3rd floors when both were set to 72 degrees. This was also reported to the office. After checkout, the manager told me he didn't experience any issue- he set it to 70 and it was perfectly fine when he came back in. Convenient. The internet network shared didn't exist. Through our own efforts we discovered the correct network information and updated the office. I requested a call upon checkout to discuss how the company intended to make the issues right - specifically the discount that was mentioned earlier in the week - and was met with hostility about the 'state the until was left in.' Our party followed the check out instructions exactly removing all food, personal item, returning furniture, and washing and returning dishes to their places. Was told by the manager, "you're in Florida, there are roaches" ... "I had to pay my cleaner a couple hundred dollars for those couple of hours." At a minimum, a consumer expects sanitary conditions and no exposure to salmonella, E. coli, or other bacteria. Had I been made aware of the roach problem before the booking, I wouldn't have stayed at the property. I've been coming to the Gulf for 40 years, and have never experienced this issue. I am disgusted that Cape San Blas Vacation Rentals has no concern for ensuring a sanitary facility and disappointed I spent my money with this organization. I hope this serves as an indication that there are many better options available.
