San Sou Sea: Amazing 5 BR Beachfront Home- Sleeps 14, Priv. Pool & Hot Tub!

The house is in need of a deep cleaning. The property management did respond to issues quickly, which was appreciated. A large gutter fell off the house and landed on the hot tub, fortunately we had just gotten out of it or someone could’ve been hurt. The ocean is not clear on this side of the beach, which was a disappointment. A few locals told us that the water along Indian Pass rd is murky all the time, but it’s clear around the corner in Cape San Blas. They listed this place 40% off for fall, which feels like a fair price to pay considering the cleanliness of the house and the murky water. Unfortunately, we booked early at full price so we don’t feel like we got our money’s worth since this rental is a similar price as others in the nicer part of Cape San Blas. If you are looking for the clear gulf water, don’t stay in this area.

We loved everything about the place and are considering coming back next year (never have repeated a stay in the same place before so that tells you this was a great trip). Beautiful house -- roomy and comfortable. Views were fantastic. Access to the beach great! Quiet beach when we were there -- the pups were able to be free. The pool was wonderful to have available at the house. Driving is allowed on the beach with an access point by the house but it was never a problem with the beach being so wide.

Definitely needs a curtain or blind at kitchen door, neighbors behind you just sit by their pool and watch you and wave! The home is showing wear with walls, handrails,etc. When we arrived the kitchen had not been cleaned good, especially the frig and oven had not been cleaned, we didn’t use the oven. The maintenance man is very nice and on top of fixing what we had issues with there. Overall it is a nice home, loved the pool and jacuzzi! The view is beautiful!

The house is wonderful and in a perfect location

The home was beautiful and the exact set up we needed for our family. It was our first time visiting this area and the beach was wonderful - quiet and peaceful. Our only thought was that the house hadn't had good deep clean in a while and needed it!! Under furniture, on baseboards, and around any surface that isn't a traditional clean was pretty dusty/dirty. There were also tons of biting flies the first 2 days we were there that kept us from being outside much...not sure if that is normal.

We enjoyed our stay and inside of property was nice. Outside needed a bit of maintenance and we had issues with internet and cable all week but otherwise enjoyed property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was wonderful, steps to the beach. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the house was comfortable. We definitely thought the house could use some TLC. We thought it had a run down feeling. There were no carpets at all and the steps were very slippery being tile. The pool gate was broken and did not latch properly and the stair railing going into the swimming pool is loose. Very hard for my special needs daughter to get in. The kitchen should be updated. The coffee maker is horrible- 1 hour to brew a pot of coffee and not enough cups for the amount of people the house holds. The bedrooms were comfortable. All in all decent house but a little run down for the price of rent

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We knew before we arrived the area was known for biting bugs, so bad you could not swim at night without being bitten. That was expected. However arriving to find a house that wasn't cleaned very well and needed minor repairs was disappointing. To mention a few finds; a cigar on the deck sofa, dirty sock behind a dresser, dirty bathroom countertops and toilets that haven't been scrubbed under the rim. As for the minor fixes, which a couple we fixed ourselves because you need a door knob to open your bedroom and a secure shower curtain rod that won't fall down and sheets on one of the top bunks. Other things that need repair include a knob for a bathroom sink, a missing and broken door handle for one of the sliding doors, remove or fix the unstable sofa table, and a kitchen sink sprayer knob that gets stuck in the spray position. No, we didn't report these issues to the rental company because we wanted to limit our exposure to people during this crazy time. We did report a Direct TV receiver not working and one was quickly shipped to the house. Although without the account number we could not activate it during our stay. An outdoor shower or platform away from the door to rinse the sand off on would be a plus and the kids complained of a hot room without a ceiling fan. A few minor touches and this house would be great!Not to end on a negative note, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen well stocked with pots and pans. The pool was just the right size for 4 kids. We did enjoy the empty beaches and local restaurants!
