Great location but maintenance needed

Location of the property was great. Door lock didn’t unlock when door code was used. Called property mgmt number but didn’t get answer. After several attempts, deadbolt turned enough for us to get door open. Upstairs HVAC didn’t work well….temp stayed on 78 even after turning schedule off on thermastat control. Used box fans to blow cool air from downstairs to upstairs for everyone to sleep comfortably in upstairs bedrooms. Grill didn’t work. Lock on sliding glass door in living room was broken…used tension rod from washer/dryer curtain to secure door at night.

Fun at Cape San Blas

We had a wonderful week at Sippin’ By The Sea! We were very happy that this property allowed us to bring our furry family members. The beach was great and not at all crowded. There were no houses on either side. But a camper was parked next door on one side. The house was clean. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. We enjoyed sitting on the screened deck! The door handle was broken when we arrived, but someone from property management came and fixed it. The dining space was cramped. Moving the table to be able to seat people on both sides blocked a walkway in the kitchen. But we made it work out. Everyone from the property management group that we spoke to was friendly and helpful! Overall a good place to stay.

We arrived at the property 10:30 pm after driving 8 hours to get there only to discover that the code we were given did not work. Fortunately for us the lock on the back sliding glass door was broken and we were able to get in. However then we had to put something in the track of the sliding door to secure it at night while we were there. I see there are other reviews mentioning this so I wasn’t the first to call the rental company about this issue. The house is located directly on the beach which is great but be aware that the boardwalk in the pictures is no longer there and the ocean is much closer to the house now. Also there is a spot for a camper on the same property as the house. We were unaware of this when we rented and had people camping right next to us all week. I believe that needs to be put in the listing so people renting the house are aware of it. We loved the screened in porch but it was unusable when it rained because the rain leaked through from above like a giant shower head and there was about 1-2” of standing water on the deck even after it stopped raining. We had 5 adults and 1 baby-this house was too small for us. I can see 3 adults being comfortable here. There was hardly any counter space so we had stuff stacked everywhere and you can’t really sit at the kitchen table because there is no room for your legs due to the sides of the table which are folded down and block you from sitting there. There are other issues but I’m out of space to list them.

Chilling experience

The location was fantastic and the place was very nice. Unfortunately, we were there during the arctic blast and could not enjoy the outdoor space or the beach due to a freak ice storm. The worst part was that the heat quit working on multiple occasions and we were frozen a couple of mornings that we woke up. The first event a wonderful maintenance worker (Bruce?) was able to swap out the thermostat and get us going again on the upstairs unit. A couple days later the downstairs unit stopped & it was nearly 60 degrees. Called at 8am to get on the list of, the woman who answered said she had someone around the corner and would have him stop by in 15-30 min. We waited, & waited, & waited, finally called back again to learn that the first receptionist didn't even put in a service request. Another couple hours went by and we called again, this time to stress the situation and express our dissatisfaction with how things were being handled. We asked for a solid answer on when would a tech be able to get by and requested some sort of compensation for our inconvenience. They told us they would put someone on it asap and we would be contacted at or before the time of checkout to discuss compensation. Repairs were eventually done but no compensation until we made the effort. Minimal comps made to offset incident. Poorly handled but thank goodness for Bruce the repairman who was great in a bad situation. Bottom line, great place, poor management.

Nice place on the beach

We rented "Sippin' by the Sea" for a week in January 2022. The location on the Gulf of Mexico was outstanding. The house is very nice and is in good shape. The beach is very pretty there. There was a lot of privacy, yet we were not too far from stores at the Cape. I would highly recommend the property to anyone who wants to have a nice relaxing experience at CSB.
