Good location but needs some love

This was our first time staying on Cape San Blas. The condo had a peek-a-boo view of the ocean which was nice. We enjoyed the porches overlooking the green space. However, the condo gave the feeling of being owned by a management company and not a family (odd mismatched decor, frames on walls with no pictures in them). The condo was dirty in the corners and the kitchen had ann odor (disposal maybe?). Although the primary bedroom is on the 3rd level by itself, there is no door to close off the bedroom from the stairs. I will say the beds were all very comfortable! The beach was pretty crowded with it being in front of two large condo complexes. Just something to consider.

Misleading amenities description and unacceptable maintenence and housekeeping conditions.

The location of the unit is better that what is described in the listing. Thats where it ends. The housekeeping conditions were unacceptable. Light bulbs were out, oven was filthy, sliding doors were barely functional and filthy. The gas grill was rusted, filthy and unusable. The list could go on.....

Great location and view, outdated and dirty

Check in and communication was effective. Location and view was great. Contract required to finalize booking. Carpets on stairs and main bedroom needs replacement. Bathroom fittings are outdated and in need of maintenence. Kitchen had no wash cloth/spunge to wipe surfaces. Grill was very dirty and had no way to clean nor tongs for grilling. Cupboards untidy and utensils, pots & pans scattered across all over. the kitchen. Porch furniture in dire need of cleaning. Dirty, full ashtray on porch..

Afforrdable

The check in process was easy and the listing was as advertised. The carpet through the house is dirty and damaged. It makes one not want to take their shoes off inside, as the carpet seems worse than what may be on your shoes. The grill on the porch also needs replacing. The heat is hard to regulate and will burn your food quickly if you don't keep an eye on it. Other than that the house is lovely. Lots of space and items you can use for the beach. Large fridge, comfy beds. Short walk to the beach.

The home is in a great location with pool and other activities. It’s in a very short proximity to walk down to the beach or drive over to the state park. We had some issues arise, but the host was able to resolve them fairly.

Nightmare Rental

Where do we begin? After a 10 hour drive along with my 92 year old mother and our dog, we were met with immediate disgust and dismay upon opening the door. The first thing that we saw was that the carpet at the door had a hole the size of a softball obviously chewed by a dog. As this is a "dog friendly" unit (with a fee), we found that every square foot of carpet in the unit was stained with dog pee and disgusting to walk on. It was so badly worn and stained, it should have been replaced (with LVP) years ago. The air return under the bar in the living room looked as though it had never been cleaned with a half inch of dog hair and dust covering it. There was still trash in some of the cans in the bathrooms. The oven had obviously not been cleaned in ages as it was filthy. None of the pots or pans had been scrubbed and were nasty. The towels were all tattered and stained, not even worthy of being used for rags. All of the surfaces in the entire unit had a sticky film and desperately needed cleaning and paint, at the least. The refrigerator seal was loose and in need of repair or replacement. And the screen door to the deck was torn and the sliding doors were broken and impossible to open and close. Broken dining chairs, badly worn and uncomfortable couch, and on and on. Renters RUN!!!"

Had A Good Time!

Loved the location! Condo had everything we needed. Only drawback was the stairs for my husband he had back surgery and knee replacement last year. With 2 flights of stairs it was hard at times. But it’s view was easy on the eyes. Pool and tennis courts were wonderful. Our beds were very comfortable. It’s a good place to stay.

Great location, disappointing property

We love CSB and Barrier Dunes. Repeat visitor for years. This is the 1st VRBO disappointment. Unit wasn't as represented. 1st impression, torn stained carpet at entrance, then saw the main room furniture was pushed aside against the wall, not in place so you could use the dining table. Perhaps cleaners didn't finish? Bedding was clean, soft and floor clean other than worn and stained. But it was not clean. Dirt on light plates, build up of lint/hair on air intake, some decor was encrusted with heavy layer of dust. Frig door seal coming off. Microwave door cracked in 2 places. Kitchen light kept flashing so we kept it off. Unit supposed to have a hair dryer which was missing. Outdoor shower was not even hooked up to water so nonfunctional. Neighbor shower was very nice and a note saying for their unit ONLY so that has been nonfunctional for some time. The keypad would not function 90% of the time. Fortunately a key was there so we could lock the unit when we came and went. Most of the negative comments in previous reviews have not been fixed despite the property manager telling me they were new issues and surprised to hear about them. The cleaner did the bare minimum cleaning. There is clearly a lack of maintenance and no attention to detail. I realize its a rental but I would not recommend this unit. Also, the Barrier Dunes pool is closed. Unsure of how long and that's beyond control of the property manager but letting future renters know.

Fantastic location. Beautiful views and great beach. Water was warm. Door lock needs work.

We really enjoyed our stay. Our dog struggled with the stairs, but he is getting older. The front door lock didn’t always work right, but it could be user error on our part. Skully’s is fantastic for dinner. They offer a drink on the porch and then enjoy your food there or take it home. We will be back.

Thumbs down!!! Theft in the community!!!

Door codes were wrong delaying access to unit. Air conditioner not working. Kitchen sink was clogged. Someone stole our beach bag with our work phones inside. Called the police on the land line. No statement was taken or id’s checked when officer arrived. Officer walked down to the beach where we were sitting and told us to go back to our rental and “check the carport and around the premises” and “there are a lot of Karen’s in the community.” When we got back to our rental, low and behold, there was our bag with contents inside sitting by the front door. When we got inside the rental we noticed our luggage was riffled through and debit cards were taken. Not sure if it was who took our beach bag or if it was the workers working on the air conditioning and plumbing earlier that day. One positive thing was the communication with the property manager was great! Don’t be deceived thinking just because it’s a gated community that you’re safe!!! Needless to say, we’re never staying here again.

Beautiful views and great location…the bed frame has to go!

Loved the location of this condo…great views of the gulf and proximity to the beach and pool. There was a slight miscommunication of check in time and it was not cleaned …shout out to management company for making sure it was done immediately. As others have mentioned, the carpet on the steps and master are old and NEED to be replaced. It was advertised that there are hair dryers and there were none…had to air dry ..not the worse thing …make sure you brings yours …but for me the worse thing was the master bed squeaked …BAD like when you walked into the room without even touching it …it squeaked …the bed itself was decent comfort wise ..not sure if the squeaking was from the frame or the box spring …but it was bad…in my opinion…NOT acceptable. My husband and I were constantly waking each other up. I feel that a new metal bed frame is not a budget breaker and should have been replace long ago. We had a lovely time but condo needs a little loving . Thanks for the memories

Overall, a nice place that could be excellent if a few items were addressed.

Despite a few relatively minor issues, we really enjoyed or stay at this property. First, the things that could be improved: The inner doorknob fell off right as we were entering the property and kept falling off throughout our stay. The carpets are old and a bit smelly (could really need a deep clean or replacement). The beds are also old and the one in the master is very noisy (and caused my back to ache each morning). The good: The location is great and the property is very well equipped. We love the area and despite the few cons, we wouldnt have a problem staying at this property again.
