GUEST COMMENTS:

Mark & Mary Willis, (Reilly & Cody, the Golden Retrivers too!)   Wisconsin, April 2008

We had a great time.  It was a really nice condo, the beach one of the best, if not THE best, we have ever experienced and we had perfect weather.  I think I say only 2 clouds the entire time we were on Cape San Blas. 

The condo was exactly as pictured on the website.  The beach was much better than the website photos.  And the sunsets were absolutely fabulous.  We met many friendly people and their dogs.

After the day at the beach, it was great to walk up to our deck and enjoy the beach view.  Cody, our 8-year old golden retriever might have been happier playing in the waves,  However Reilly, our 10-year old golden retriever, enjoyed being out of the sand and on the deck still catching the gulf breeze.  Watching the sunset from our deck with a cold bottle of wine and our dogs asleep at the beach , is a memory I will cherish.  I hope to get back to Cape San Blas and Barrier Dunes in the near future.  I'd like to try to coordinate a vacation with our extended family.  In the past it's been difficult since we dog-sit for one another.  Now with a great place like Cape San Blas and Barrier Dunes it's a definite possibility.

Thank you, Wendy, and the owners of Shore Thang and Barrier Dunes for making places like this available for us.  I will check your website to get my "Cape-fix" during the cold Wisconsin winter.

Thanks for everything.  We do hope to make it back there next year.

Anna, Mark and Matthew Wheeler,  March 2008

Thanks for sending the security deposit back so quickly!  We had a wonderful time!  The weather was perfect -- sunny and in the 70's.  We spent so much time on the beach and our decks -- the sunsets were awesome!  Having a condo right on the beach was the highlight of the week. 

We visited St. Vincent's Island this year and really enjoyed ourselves.  Also, thanks for the Sunset Coastal Grill recommendation -- we ate there our last night in Florida and had a spectacular meal (and drinks!).  Our dogs, TIlly and Tara, had so much fun it was hard for us to leave!  I'll send pictures when I get them back.

Thanks again and I hope to be there again next year!

Shirley McKinney, March 2008

We had a wonderful vacation at the Cape.  Belle's first experience with the ocean was fun, though we had such big waves while we were there that she wouldn't go in past her knees after the first wave hit her in the face.  She's a quick study. 

We loved your home and the community (Barrier Dunes).  The pet stations were awesome.  Every community should have them. Ross met a retired attorney that lives in Barrier Dunes who he played tennis with several times.  We rode bikes through St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, walked on the beach and in our down time we even put together the 1000 piece puzzle in the living room.

We would love to visit again.  I will be in touch.  Thanks for providing us with the opportunity to have a wonderful vacation with Belle.

Carole Freeburg, March 2008

We just arrived home and we had a wonderful time.  The condo was perfect for our family and we loved having our dog with us.  When we have unpacked and rested a bit I will email you some details and pictures!  Thank you so much!

Cheryle & Larry Homuth and Holly the Border Collie,  March 2008

Thank you for everything.  Sorry I had to bother you so many times, that is not our usual.  We had a wonderful time and the townhouse was great.  We were very sad to leave.  I hope we will be able to stay at least 2 weeks next year.  I am so glad our friends told us about Cape San Blas...it really is the Forgotten Coast!

William McCullough, January/February 2008

I received the deposit refund.  Thank you for your prompt service!

Marty and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our Golden Retriever, Hadley, enjoyed it even more!  I liked the new furniture and moving the chair to the 2nd floor front bedroom makes a nice place to sit and read.

My only suggestion is to get internet in the  unit.  These days most people need the internet, even on vacation.  Otherwise the unit is great.  Very well equipped (for us and the dog).  Another child gate would be helpful.

NOTE:  Internet will be added in the next month and we will be adding a dog gate on the back porch.  Thank you for the great suggestion!  Shore Thang will be our only beach front rental with either of these!

Erinn Murphy, December 2007/January 2008

We had an awesome time!  Your place is wonderful and we would definitely come back!  Our dogs just loved life and so did we!  I think they are glad we are back at work so they can catch up on sleep.

Thanks for getting the deposit check out so quickly.  I will send some photos and more trip info in a few days!

Mellissa Slover, November 2007

We truly enjoyed ourselves at the Cape.  What a beautiful place!  It's like real Florida!  Who knew we still had such beautiful beaches!  The condo was gorgeous and very accommodating.  Very convenient access to the beach with million dollar views!  The sunsets were some of the prettiest I've ever seen!  The dogs really enjoyed the beach.  IT was a new experience for them.  It was great fun to watch them.  All the people we met were very nice and friendly.  We even went horseback riding one day with Julie and Katie from Broke a Toe and they were very great to work with. 

Thank you again for helping make our trip as enjoyable as possible.  I am more than happy to serve as a reference if you ever need one.  I'm sure we will be making trips back to the Cape and back to Shore Thang.  Thank you again!

Don and Stacy Hall, August/September 2007

....We really enjoyed our stay---the condo--and the beach were great.  That's probably the nicest, white sand beach and warmest ocean I've ever experienced...Cape San Blas is a great place to get away from it all----Hope to come back again!

Thomas Dyer,  August 2007

I received your letter and check today.  Thanks for the quick turn around. 

Let me tell you that we had a great time.  The Cape exceeded my expectations.  What a wonderful area full of nature.  Everything we enjoyed, the beach, kayaking, boating , marine life, great food and the locals were all so friendly and helpful.  I've been tryng to figure a way to obtain a place down there since we left.  Anyway, we will definitely return.

We saw a Bald Eagle while kayaking.  It was fighting with a Hawk in the air over our heads and dropped a fish.  I dubbed it the luckiest fish alive.  Anyway, it was an awesome sight.  We did the horseback riding on the beach--something I've always wanted to do.  We rented a boat and saw an abundance of marine life:  dolphins, stingrays, huge jellyfish etc.  St. Joseph State Park was beautiful, unspoiled .  We were the only ones on the beach and it was very romantic.  I could go on, but you already know how great it is.  We will be back for sure.

Oh yea, we were out to eat at Sunset Coastal Grill and a prominent local business man saw our car which had "just married" on it and he bought our entire dinner that evening.  It was one of the nicest things ever!  His name was Mr. Rish--we met him and talked for a while.  It was a very kind thing to do and something I will always remember.

Scott Chappell and Family,  August 2007

We had a great time at the Cape.  I just wanted to thank you for all the information and help you provided in making this a wonderful vacation for our family.  Attached are pictures I took from the deck of Shore Thang #2 in Barrier Dunes.  We met some wonderful people and pets.  We even met a man from my hometown of Americus GA! 

Note:  Scott shared the moonset picture and the picture on the upper Right side of this page...taken from the back porch of Shore Thang.  Below is another shot Scott took of the Cape San Blas beaches!

Tony & Nancy Bachman and Family, August 2007

We just got home safely and wanted you to know how perfect our stay was in  your beautiful location in Cape San Blas.  It was the perfect place for all of us.  I will send pictures and more comments when I get a bit rested in the next couple of days. 

Shore Thang is wonderful!  Weather great!  Florida lifted the burn ban so we would have bonfires...we had 2!

Shannon Fields, June 2007

Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your property -- it was a really nice week for all of us.  The weather was great - only one evening hour of storms, and I got some really cool shots of a group of waterspouts.  The place was extremely well equipped, especially in the kitchen, and the beach closet was full of stuff!  I'd love to come back...I'll be sure and let you know when we're able to.

Susan Brown, May/June 2007

Shore Thang exceeded our expectations.  The view alone is priceless and the other amenities make it feel like home.  We had a great time and hope to visit again soon!

Debbie Reed and Family,  May 2007

We had a wonderful week.  I don't believe I have ever stayed in a condo that was as well equipped as yours.  Thanks for all the little things you've thought of to help make vacation more special!
