Exceeded Expectations
Great property - closer than you would think to a very quiet beach and beautiful beach. House is very well supplied, it had pretty much anything we could want from coffee grinder to a wagon to cart gear to the beach, and lots of space for everyone to spread out. We did have trouble with the pool which meant no pool heat for the remainder of our stay but when it was heated it was amazing. Cape San Blas is a great get-away, we really enjoyed our time there!

Comfortable well maintained house made for a fantastic vacation!
The owners of the house have given so much attention to the details. The kitchen was organized and very well supplied with all the dishes, pots and pans you will need. The sofas were large and comfortable. The basket of throw blankets made us feel at home. The bikes were so much fun. We didn’t have children with us but the gated neighborhood was very kid friendly. Easy bike ride to the General Store (very well stocked), liquor store and ice cream shop. The pool was great and heated for a fee. I will miss the outdoor shower. Easy walk to the beach. The beach was not crowded and the people around us were all very friendly. We loved being able to have the dogs with us. We had a fun bonfire on the beach. Easy, relaxing and family friendly. We will be back!

Great place for fun in the sun!
Veranda Views was a great choice for our extended family vacation. There was plenty of space for privacy, but also nice big gathering spaces for dining and playing games together. Short walk to the beach and included wagon were a bonus! We loved the large covered deck spaces to retreat to the shade and enjoy the views.

Oh, that's way they call it Veranda View!
This facility was the cherry on top of a delightful vacation experience. All sorts of unadvertised, thoughtful inclusions (beach wagon, pool equipment, rainy day games, books, puzzles) and practical equipment (kitchen utensils, extra linens, etc.). Everyone had a restful and rejuvenating experience at this lovely beach rental.

Gorgeous Property and Location but Issues with Management/Cleanliness
We stayed at this property for 10 days with our 3 young boys. The house and neighborhood are beautiful. We loved the location and closeness to the beach, as well as the heated pool. It is well stocked with beach and pool gear at the house available for use in addition to the bikes, kayaks, and beach cart. The kitchen has nearly anything you could need. You do need to bring your own trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels, soap, and dish and laundry detergent, which we wish had been communicated ahead of time. Despite the beautiful home, the cleanliness was disappointing. The floors and rugs were very dirty - we had to wear sandals and shoes inside because our feet were brown with grime at the end of the first day we were there. There were lots of wrappers and food crumbs under furniture and beds. Two of the bedspreads had stains on them. The grill was very dirty and smoked when lit. The property management company is clearly doing an inadequate job of preparing the house for guests. When these concerns were communicated to the owner, she stated it would be addressed with the cleaning and property management company for future guests. Hopefully things will change because I would expect much more from this type of property. It is overall a fantastic location and house, just needs better cleaning and upkeep for guests.

Terrible Property Management
If it wasn't for the rat, septic issues, and leaking ceiling...this would have been a good stay. When we arrived the trash from the previous guests was overflowing. Both trash bins were full and the rest of the waste was placed on the ground next to the bins. As my husband was moving the other guests' trash out to the curb, a huge rat jumped out at him. Not a great start to the vacation. Next up was the awful smell that came a few days later due to an overflowing septic system. It makes it difficult to enjoy the pool when noxious fumes fill the air. Thankfully, the next day a truck did come to pump out a system that, in his words, "should have been taken care of a long time ago." Oh, and the pool heater broke when we were there, too, but thankfully that was fixed. On the second to last night, our friends were awakened at 1 am with the sound of dripping and wetness. The ceiling, through the ceiling fan, was leaking onto their bed. They slept on the couch for the remainder of the night and then decided to just head for home early since their bed was a mess. We called the after-hours number immediately about this problem and they said that they would send someone out in the morning. No one came. No one called to follow up. Since we've left, we've called Pristine Properties three times and sent an e-mail and no one has returned a call or responded in any way. Honestly, I feel bad for the home owners. Might be time to get a new management company.... If it wasn't for those major issues, it would have been a great stay. The house is beautiful, close to the beach, and the deck areas are a bonus.

Veranda Views Get-Away
Our family and friends had a great stay at VV! The neighborhood, proximity to beach, stores was perfect! The house itself is well equipped and and there is plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. I don’t think we could have picked a better option on the cape! My only issue was with the cleanliness from previous guests - food and wrapper debris under beds, couches - it looked like a cheerio fight happened in one of the rooms. Not at all a reflection on the house, rather the need to clean a bit more thoroughly.

As-advertised, great beach home for large group
The listing tells you pretty much all you need to know about the house. We (three families of four) had more than enough space. The beds were good. Do note that there are more bunk beds than shown - there's one trundle underneath in each bunk room. The kitchen is well equipped. The bikes and kayaks are a good bonus. The beach at Seagrass is nice and the walk from the house isn't too long. We've stayed at many CSB properties and have no complaints about this one - and would rent it again if the circumstances allow.

Everything we needed
Our yearly trip to Cape San Blas was relaxing and staying at Veranda Views truly made it one of the best trips we’ve had. We had a large multigenerational group and a dog with us and there was plenty of space for us all to relax and enjoy time together. The all the living areas were very nice but the dining and kitchen were the best. The kitchen was very well stocked and we cooked almost every night and didn’t need a thing. The pool was awesome as were the bikes and beach gear. Thank you so much Sylvia and Bert, we loved staying in your home for the week! We truly didn’t want to leave.

About the host

Hosted by Sylvia & Bert

Host profile image
My husband, son and I have been Atlanta residents for for 24+ years, living in the Morningside neighborhood. Bert is on the faculty at Georgia Tech, I am a residential realtor with Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's, and our son, Jackson, is studying in Los Angeles. We love dogs, hiking, cars, dogs, gardening, traveling, cooking, and dogs (did we say dogs?). Bert is Dutch, I am Colombian, and Jackson is Atlanta-born and raised. We have two large mutt dogs -- Phoebe (106 pounds), Austin (84 pounds) and one cat, Nellie (9 pounds).

Why they chose this property

Our friends Anne & Jim turned us on to Cape San Blas because we were looking for a dog friendly beach. We immediately fell in love with CSB due to the very laid-back vibe, being surrounded by both the Bay and the Gulf, the white-sand beach, the delicious seafood, plus the very friendly locals. What more could we ask for?! It is our place to unwind and de-stress. We plan our day around the sunset -- Cape San Blas has the best!

What makes this property unique

Our favorite things at CSB are the quiet, low-key relaxed feeling, kayaking on the Bay, local oysters/shrimp/grouper/tuna dip, long dog walks on the beach, bike-riding on the 8-mile trail, hiking at the Stump Hole and at St. Joe State Park, shopping at Apalachicola, the local beer (Oyster City brewery), early morning donuts at Weber's, the convenience of Tradin' Post general store, and, of course, the sunsets from the porch!
