Excellent getaway for family and pets.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the beach house. The house was clean it was only steps from the beach and close to the bay. I recommend this beach house to anyone looking for a great place to create memories to last lifetime.

Perfect Stay

The house was perfect for our family. The beds were very comfortable and the house was well-kept. The beach was just a short, beautiful walk down the boardwalk. The are was quiet, but had everything we could ask for in a beach vacation.

Wonderful!!

My family has been coming to the Cape for years. It’s a really special place for us. Staying at Sandy Daze added lots of new and beautiful memories. The house was perfect and had everything we could possibly need and then some. We felt at home with the added bonus of the salt and sea. I would highly recommend this property to anyone.

Wonderful vacation spot

We have enjoyed coming to the Cape for the last 9 summers. We love the Cape Dunes community and this house didn't disappoint. The adults really enjoyed the Big Green Egg and the kids loved the upstairs kid room and kayaks. Would definitely recommend.

Had a blast at Cape San Blas

Sandy Daze was the best house we have stayed in. It was immaculate, well stocked, beautifully decorated with comfortable beds and furniture. The owners have thought of everything and furnished it for their guests. It is convenient to the state park, Port St Joe, Apalachicola and Indian Pass. Only takes a couple of minutes to walk to beaches that are wide, white, dog friendly, and full of shells. This was definitely one of our best visits and we have been going every year for decades!

cozy beach house

This house has everything you need for a comfortable beach vacation. It is an easy 3 minute walk to the beach and the house has all necessities for the beach (beach wagon, outdoor shower, kayaks, chairs, etc). Also within walking distance of “happy ours” a bike and kayak rental place. We brought our dog and really appreciated Having dog towels and dog shampoo provided by the owner. The house was very clean and beds were very comfortable! I would highly recommend this rental home.

Great get-a-way!

We enjoyed our stay so much! It is a lovely home and we were particularly touched by the little “extras” the owners left for us. My son was thrilled at the s’mores kit and astounded there was “grown up” chocolate on his pillow. Not to mention, my husband made mimosas on Thanksgiving morning from the champagne that was provided. Thank you so much for a lovely week. It was just the break we needed.

Immaculate & Family Friendly

When we first walked into Hillary’s beach house, I was instantly impressed with how clean it was! No sand in the corners, kitchen was spotless, light fixtures were not dusty, etc. It is by far the cleanest VRBO we’ve stayed in. The entire house was perfect for our family - 2 seating areas, amazing recliners for winding down after a day on the beach, amazingly stocked kitchen, board games, kids room, list goes on. We had everything we needed from towel and beach chairs, to the forgotten tooth brush and aloe gel. It was just a short walk to the board walk for white sugar beaches, tons of wildlife/critters, and beautiful water. We will definitely be back!!

Everything was Perfect

My husband and I have been renting homes in this area for the past 12 years and I have to say this house was furnished with absolutely everything you would need and was like being at home. Not only does it have a very warm feeling, the owners go above an beyond to make your stay extra special. From the fabulous "Green Egg" grill, to the beach towels, beach chairs, blow dryers, paper towels, soap, and doggie biscuits -- it doesn't get any better! I want to thank the owners for making our week at the beach just wonderful. I highly recommend this home and the Cape! Susan from Lou, KY

Love, Love, Love!

The time we spent here was awesome. We wouldn’t have changed or asked for anything different. The house has everything you need and we loved the quiet beach. We saw dolphins, horses and even a bald eagle. My husband fished on the beach mornings and late afternoons until dark. The weather was perfect. The neighborhood was quiet. Communication with the host was easy. We can’t wait to come back in October for more relaxing, fishing and fun. You won’t be disappointed if you decide to stay in this lovely home for your beach vacation.

Very nice location to the beach. The 2 bedrooms upstairs was not convenient to someone who has to get up during the night to go to the bathroom. You have to go through the other bedroom to get to the bathroom. The small bathroom downstairs always had a urine smell. Dust everywhere. A good thorough cleaning would do wonders for this house.

Lovely home in amazing location

Sandy Daze was a really wonderful home, particularly for the value. The care and attention the owners have put into it really shows. The extra ice maker was something I never realized I was missing at the beach until I found it at Sandy Daze. The community was quiet and convenient. The second floor balcony had a gorgeous view of the ocean and I spent many hours relaxing on the screened porch. My kids loved their oversized bedroom and my friend appreciated having her own bedroom with attached bathroom so she didn’t have to share with me and the kids. The walk to the beach started just yards away from the back door and was so easy to access. I hope to return with the kids and my husband next summer!

Still not recovered from having to leave!

Most of the time by the end of vacation you are ready to go home. Not this time. I was so sad to leave. I have been to the Cape San Blas 5 years in a roll and this is my 1st time staying at Sunny Daze. It is by far the best stocked with about anything you forgot and some things you never would have thought of. And that bed was so amazing! Much better than the one I have at home. Plenty of beach towels, dog towels, and bathroom towels. The kayaks looked so nice but we didn't use them because of water conditions. The beach card came in very handy. The details the owners have put into their house really shows!

Wonderful time at the cape

My two sisters and I totally enjoyed your beautiful home during our week long stay at Sandy Daze. The house is amazing and has anything you could think of. It is exactly as you see in the pictures! The beach was beautiful and the weather wonderful until our last day when it rained all day. The only downside (for us, since we are all in our 50's and not terribly small) was the long trek to the beach through the sand and over the dune carrying chairs, coolers and such. A little harder on us than younger more fit renters! We got to see dolphins in the gulf, a first for us! We enjoyed the bay at the State Park with my grandson and daughters! We went to lots of shops in Apalachicola and Port St. Joe and sampled many of the local restaurants. Hillary responded immediately when I contacted her about a very small issue. Wonderful experience overall and would recommend to my friends!

A perfect beginning to the new year

We are home, regretfully, from a fabulous new year's getaway. No more peace and quiet, no more secluded beach (except for new year's eve, where everyone came to see our awesome fire pit and bonfire), no more awesome movie and CD collection, no more Big Green Egg -- away from the perfect home away from home. Our combined families of 10, with six kids ranging from 1 to 16, had everything we needed in Sandy Daze and the Cape. Kudos to the Timmonses for their taste, style and the personal touches (they provided us with a welcome basket that included, among other things, a bottle of wine and a kit to make marshmallow smores. From the kitchenware to the beach equipment to the excellent wi-fi connectivity to the crib for the baby, the Timmonses managed to think of everything. Even the neighbors were delightful. We are on a tight budget and certainly don't live large, and found Sandy Daze to be well worth the price. We hope to be back!
