Been going to Cape for 20 years- easily the cleanest home I’ve ever rented. Easy beach access, lovely home. Couch is probably ready to be replaced, but overall it was great. Oh- and for sure skip bringing our own beach towels, shampoo, dish soap etc. I did (wasn’t sure what was REALLY going to be there) and didn’t use it at all- everything provided was adequate and good quality. Plenty of beach gear at your disposal. I am already planning to rent again next year!

Great Beach House!

We loved this beach house! It was perfect for a family get away and was great to have our pets with us. It was much closer to the beach boardwalk which was a great surprise. The living space is on the 3rd Floor which was fine for us but if you have guests who have trouble with stairs that could be a problem. Will definitely consider staying here again!

The ONLY problem we had was that the furniture was certainly in need of replacing. It just was not comfortable. One of the chairs actually had a broken leg (it held in place but when we were cleaning, I picked it up to move it and the leg simply slid out of its socket). The corner floor lamp had a bent leg. The cushions on the outside porch were likewise uncomfortable - you could feel every bar in your back. It's a nice house and a nice location, but I would hesitate to rebook unless there are furniture upgrades. My dealings with Be Our Guest rentals were fine. They were accomodating, polite and professional, so no other complaints from us.

Relax by the beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 3rd time staying at this property. The location and size of the house works for our family. The beach is about less than a 5 minute walk and you need to walk over a boardwalk with a few steps going up and down. The kitchen was fully stocked, we cooked every meal with no problem. We do travel with our own kitchen knife, so bring one if you need a sharp knife. There’s a small market and seafood store up the road we drove to. The living room and dining room furniture may need some updating. There was a dinning chair that had a nail sticking out and it cut my oldest daughter leg. However, the beds were comfortable and well equipped. Wi-Fi worked we enough, with some loading issues when streaming tv. The shower pressure was too soft for our long hair, but there was plenty of hot water. They had plenty of outdoor chairs to use and beach towels. The community pool was across the street. We did have some beach views from the 3rd floor deck. Overall, we would recommend and we would probably use again in the future.

Wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful stay. Pictures are accurate. Short walk to the beach. We were glad we rented a beach cart, however, to make travel back and forth easier. Even with the rain we had fun inside the property with game nights and watching the rain on the screened in porch. Very clean and welcoming. Have bookmarked it for a future stay.

Beach Road Trip

Great house with everything we needed. Our pup loved first trip to the beach and there was plenty of room for the gear we brought (trailer, kayak and paddleboards). Access to beach was easy. Had to drive a little ways to get our gear on the bay, but launches weren't crowded. Real nice spot and house.

AWESOME STAY

My wife and I traveled with our daughter and four grandchildren to "Baron by the Sea". The house was wonderful. We arrived to a spotless home with everything provided. From beach towels, to a fully appointed kitchen, It was a 5 minute walk to a beautiful, pristine white sandy beach. Cape San Blas is the only west facing beach in the Florida panhandle, so we were treated to some amazing sunsets as well. THANK YOU for sharing your beautiful home with us. It was spectacular!!!

House was great - host was not

House was very nice. Host was not. Vrbo has a “Extenuating-Circumstances-Policy” that “protects you” for things beyond your control. Look it up. Things like mandatory evacuations. We were required to vacate the cape after less than 48 hours. The host refused to abide by the VRBO policy with the explanation that they reimbursed for two days only because we choose not to return after the mandatory evacuation had lifted. Who goes back after a cat five hurricane rolls through following a mandatory evacuation? House is a nice house - “Be Our Guest” gave me a zero star rating because I asked VRBO to enforce their own policy which is both petty and unprofessional.

Honest Opinion it was not for us.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home needs repair. The M.B is in middle portion of home, making for a noisy rest, you can hear everything and everyone above you going up and down the steps and opening and closing any doors up on top patio where the kitchen and the main recreation area is located. Poor lighting in bathrooms, uncomfortable beds and there is not a KING size bed in any of the rooms; all beds are full to queen and bunks. Too far from beach to carry any kayak and if you manage to do so, be prepared for a high incline up the boardwalk to beach and back down again. Construction going on near house and beach access and the noise from main road is loud if your planning to sit out on any patio. Oh, the pricker burrs are everywhere so pets beware, the nonexistent landscaping around this home is no help. Sorry for bad review, but, for the money, it was not worth it to us. Great area, but, would not recommend this to anyone other than a group of spring breakers.

Perfect Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Baron by the Sea is such a beautiful home with all the amenities you could ask for in the most beautiful place! We loved the main kitchen/living area being on the 3rd floor. The screened in porch off the kitchen was a great relaxing place to drink our coffee in the morning, and unwind after a beach day. The kitchen had everything we needed to make family meals. The pool and hot tub were a huge plus when the purple flag was flying at the beach. There are two beach entrances and either one is an easy walk to the beautiful beach. It would take way longer to get to the beach from a high rise condo that sits directly on the beach. The house was clean and comfortable; it felt like home away from home and we didn’t want to leave. We would love to stay again next year for our annual family vacation and look forward to making more memories at Baron by the Sea! 🩵
