Archives: Cape Escape 2

We arrived back home (all of us and pups) safely yesterday.  We were tired but already missing the lovely condo and the beach we left behind.  I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful experience we had renting through you.  I have already told all my friends all about the place and our experience.  I will email you more details this week and some pictures once I get them uploaded off my camera.  Thank you again for giving us a vacation we’ll never forget!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Cape.  We really did our best to leave the place as good or better than we found it, including a decent cleaning and leaving some extra items behind that we hope the next family finds helpful.  Included are some umbrella anchors that also worked well for doggie leash anchors on the beach!

We made some notes of things to do next year: jet ski tours, parasailing, etc., but we really just enjoyed family time at the beach, relaxing, shopping, and sampling the local restaurants this time.  We especially enjoyed the Sunset Coastal Grill, nice food and nice place.

While the Cape Escape is not the cheapest place on the beach & there are other beaches closer, there are several things that made it a great choice for us.  Being able to bring our dogs, the comprehensive features and convenience to the beach really made it worthwhile, even with a 13+ hour drive from Houston.

All in all, we will be back next summer…hopefully with friends.  Thanks for making it such a great stay.

We had a great time and loved the place we stayed.  For potential guests who do not have pets, I was worried about going to a place that allowed pets because of smell, etc., and almost didn’t book.   However, I must say, it was CLEAN and there was NO smell.   The dogs on the beach were leashed, well behaved and did not bother us in any way. I would recommend this place for those who don’t have pets.
Thank you so much.

Thank you, Wendy, for a great experience at Cape San Blas. We have been coming to the Cape for many, many years. We love the beach and love Barrier Dunes. This was our second time staying in this Condo and it was one of the best we have stayed in. Well stocked, comfortable beds (we’ve stayed in some condos that I would have rather slept on the floor than the bed) &  very clean. I also appreciate the beach closet stocked with beach chairs, beach gear, toys for the sand…one less thing you have to pack in your car. It rained three out of the five days we stayed but we had a great time anyway. We went to Apalachicola on one day where we ate at The Owl Café and tried some of the beer at Oyster City Brewing Company (very good). The condo was stocked with board games and we really enjoyed playing games on the other days. Our granddaughter enjoyed the turtles in the pond and boy are there a lot of turtles!  We will definitely consider coming back to this condo.

My daughter and I (and our two Golden Retrievers) just returned from Barrier Dunes. I could go on and on about the complex, our condo, the beach, and the water…..but, that’s all obvious in the gorgeous photos. What I’m beyond thankful for was Wendy going out of her way to accommodate some last minute change of plans, which were out of my control. She took care of us and had us in a beautiful, comfortable condo, in no time. From there, we went on to have an amazing and oh, so relaxing time. I have an upcoming vacation to Mexico with my kids in January. While I’m excited about it, I’m already sad about having to leave my furry friends behind. Already looking at my 2017 calendar to return to Barrier Dunes.

Thank you so much for all of your help in scheduling this trip!  We had an absolutely wonderful time.  The condo was so nice and clean, it had everything we could have asked for and it truly felt like home.  We were all really impressed with how lovely the condo and beach were.  The beach was fantastic, not too crowded and very pristine.  We enjoyed taking walks on the beach with the pups and shelling, along with just spending hours being lazy and watching the waves roll in while we relaxed on the beach.  To top of an incredible vacation, my sister and her boyfriend got engaged while we were there!  I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed ourselves and how nice the condo and area were.  We are already talking about booking with you again next year, hopefully for an even longer stay!!  I personally forgot to take pictures (I never remember to take pictures!) but I will check with everyone else and email you any pictures we have of the dogs enjoying the beach.   Thank you again for all of your help and hospitality!  I look forward to returning to the Cape soon!!

We had such a great time at the Cape over Christmas!  This is our 4th Christmas coming down to the cape and the condo was one of the nicest we have stayed in!  The amenities were great and the furniture and beds were very comfortable!!  When we first walked into the condo it had such a nice and cozy feel to it.  It was clean and well taken care of.  The pond view was great and it was fun feeding the turtles off the deck.  It was also great that there was a boardwalk right across the street that took us directly to the beach!  The beach chairs and the beach cart were one of the best amenities that the condo had!!  It made taking everything we wanted to take down to the beach very easy!
It was also nice that the weather was beautiful while we were there.  We had almost two weeks of sunny and 70 degrees!  We had such a relaxing and fun time at the cape.  The next time we come down to the Cape, we will definitely be renting from you again!  Thank you for providing such a great place for us to enjoy our vacation at!

Cape Escape II was wonderful!  We loved being right on the lake.  Being morning people, we would get up and watch the sunrise off the back deck.  Lots of turtles in the lake and we enjoyed feeding then.  They would anticipate us when we came out on the back deck and all start swimming over.   The home was beautifully decorated and we liked that it was an end unit.  It had everything you could imagine…we didn’t even get everything out of our car once we had a look around!  It was VERY clean, which we really appreciated!

We are so glad we found Cape San Blas for the 1st time.   The beaches are beautiful.  We have been going to Destin and loved the fact there was no crowds.  Restaurants were close and we enjoyed the convenience stores on the Cape when we needed something.

Thank you for answering all of our questions before our trip since we haven’t been to Cape San Blas before.  Once we arrived, the guest information book was VERY thorough and we enjoyed doing some of the things that were covered in the book.  Was nice to have all that information there and not have to research the area or do internet research.   We will definitely be back again!

We had an amazing time at the Cape! The weather and beach were truly beautiful! Thank you so much for ensuring the condo was clean and well stocked! We found it very easy to just arrive and start having fun! We ate twice at Coneheads and found the hamburgers were delicious! Our 3 year old loved getting ice cream there and we would ride our bikes back and forth from the condo.  My husband and I are trying to find time to come back later in summer.
Thanks for all your help making our vacation amazing!
