Gift From the Sea: Beachfront 5 BR North Cape Home- Sleeps 12, Priv. Pool!

We did a family vacation with siblings had a great time. This was our first time to the Cape it did not disappoint beach and pool were awesome

This house was perfect for our family of 4 adults & 3 kids. Great view of the ocean & sunsets were amazing! 4 levels but w/ an elevator, hauling our stuff up and down was super easy. The pool was nice & refreshing. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed the master suite...it was the entire 4th floor, therefore very private. We love the Cape...weather was perfect and the conditions of the ocean were very nice all week...yellow flag, but could have easily been green! We would definitely recommend this house & would rent again! Thank you for a great stay!

It is beautifully decorated, spacious, and right on the beach with private beach access! The private pool came in handy too for the times that the kids preferred that to the ocean. The view is incredible, and we would hands down recommend this house to anyone. We are hoping to go back to the Cape soon and will definitely stay here!

The elevator was a nice addition, as we are senior adults and not use to stairs. The pool and furniture made it enjoyable to relax and enjoy the sun.

Reviewer Comments: I was very impressed with the home and the quality of the furnishings. It was a beautiful home. The one thing that I felt was not quality was the washer and dryer. Especially the clothes dryer. It was rusty and it was extremely beat up looking.. and didn’t work that well. Other then that.. the house was great. I do have a few suggestions though. They could use a few more hooks in the bathrooms.. maybe over the door hooks or something. And some extra towels would have been nice as well. If we flew to get here.. we would not have been able to bring our own towels. I feel that should definitely be included. I’ve had included in all the rentals I’ve ever rented in, all over the country. The house was beautiful though. However, it was not super clean when we arrived. Most of it was.. but a few areas were not. But all in all.. we overlooked that, tidied up where it needed it, and had a great time. I am a bug hater (especially spiders) and was so happy to say.. I never saw a single bug in the house! :). The beach was really nice! It was great to just walk right down on the private walkway. (Although... I did wish the shrubs were not growing over the gate and walkway... I did not like reaching into the shrubbery to have to open the gate. But still.. the house was lovely. My gripes are just minor. I did however have one large gripe... about the road getting to the house. It had a section that was sand... and it was awful! We drove a large passenger van that had a rough time getting through. It was so odd that they had part of the road missing and just had folks struggle through the sand. If I lived there, I would find that unacceptable.

The elevator was not working due to a storm before our stay. We were told about this a few days before our stay. One night, a smoke alarm radon only went off several times during the night. There was no fire. The dryer would work sometimes and the not work for awhile. The jets on the NW side of the jacuzzi did not work. We had to rescue a rodent of some type from the swimming pool. None of these issues were detrimental to our stay but thought they should be mentioned.

We loved having the private pool for the kids especially since it was a red flag all week. We are already booked to return next year.

A Taste of Heaven is a great house! Beautifully landscaped, Weber gas grill, hot tub, a closet full of beach toys/chairs, and plenty of seating and chaises for sun or shade on a lovely terrace around the pool are special additions to this property. The elevator made unloading and packing a breeze but it was also essential to on person in our group...4 couples. The kitchen is as well equipped as you could ask for. Since there are limited restaurants that was a real plus. Long Bill’s, about two miles toward the end of the peninsula is a fun lunch spot. We bought fresh seafood at the little seafood market on the corner just before you get to Haven Dr. The living area accommodated all 8 of us or easily divided for smaller, more intimate conversations. The white furniture was comfortable and clean. There were a couple of hiccups. Mon night one of the fire alarms went off for about five minutes and then began again for 20 minutes at 4:00 am. The management company returned our call and said they would handle it but couldn’t tell or notify us via text when someone would be there. A nice “dock and deck” man appeared later in the day. He said he didn’t know anything about the alarms but he took a couple from the house and said someone would bring them back. They were never returned. The AC required comforters at night in the front bedrooms. There was no air flow in the back bedrooms and the fan didn’t work. Fortunately the nights were cool and we slept with the windows open and without cover. Again the house, pool area and beach access are all great. There are a couple of details that would make it A+. There are no coat hangers in any of the closets. An unexpected trip to the Dollar Store in Port St Joe remedied that. As pointed out in the instructions, there is a small bath towel, hand towel and washcloth for each person. This is a special house but minimal bath towels were definitely a negative. We brought own extra bath towels along with Dove, Bounty, Tide, Dawn, etc. and beach towels. If you need anything, a “quick” trip to the store is 30 minutes both ways, so arrived prepared.

We were very pleased with the house; it was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked as well!The management group answered our questions promptly and fixed an issue we had with the hot tub the next day like they said. The location was perfect for us. We wanted to get away to a place that was quiet, slow-paced, and relaxing... this was it!
