The Frazier Family, Texas (June, 2006)
WENDY, WENDY, WENDY! All we can say is OH MY GOSH!!! The best weather we could have ever dreamed of the whole trip and the CLEAREST WATER!!! Didn't even need goggles. Great tans. Everyone here in Texas is extremely jealous! We are definately coming back! The kids had so much fun and my sone even got to catch a shartk at Indian Pass. That was his highlight of course. The grabbing was great too! Lots of luck on the bay and at Indian Pass. The bed was the hardest to leave, my back is still calling for it! Our dog Lucky loved it as well. I think the ocean will be in in his dreams from now on too! My daughter, Paige, who is 6, kissed me on the cheek and said "Mom, this is the best vacation EVER!" Same reactions from my sons. I don't hting any of us quit smiling the whole time we were there! The people are nice! Ellis wanted you to know it was heaven on earth to him too! Thanks Wendy for such a memorable vacation!

The DeCamp Family (June 2006)
All I can say for our vacation to sum it up is, "WOW". We had the best week as a family that we have ever had! It was just the greatest! We had perfect, perfect weather, that went right along with playing and having a great time on the beach. Our boyx thought that it was the best!
Every night we would walk the bach and watch the sun set. Our 4 year old Joshua would sing the song "When the Sun GOes Down" by Kenny Chesney. On our last night he told the sunset good night and we would see it next year. Boy was he right.
We are making arrangements with our friends to try and come down the same week next year. And you better believe we will be caling you again. We loved the Cape better than Gulf Shores for sure. This is our new family vacation spot I believe.
We ate at The Riverside Cafe in Apalachicola. Then we went to Port St. Joe and ate at the Dockside Cafe. Both were very good. My husband was in heaven being the seafood person that he is. We also took a day and went to the Marine LIfe Aquarium. Jacob (our 8 year old) loved everything about this place and my husband was like a kid again. For Joshua (our 4 year old) he fell in love with the 2 big turtles. They would follow him around the tank everywhere he went. It was very cute. One night walking the beach we got to see the traccks of a momma sea turtle who had laid its eggs which was really neat.
I could go on and on about our great trip! We are just in love with Cape San Blas. You have everything needed to live on. All we had to do was take a trip to the Piggly Wiggly and we were good. Thank you for a great time!

Bo Harris, Albany, GA (May 2006)
The weather was perfect all week long! The water was rally beautiful and clear and at low tide there was a large sandbar a few feet off the beach. The water out there was no deeper than your knees, so it was perfect for little Charlie to experience the waves without it being really rough. He loved playing at the "Wa Wa" as he calls it, and the pool was a really big hit as well!
The condo was perfect and everyone was very happy with the accommodation. The condo community was very nice and everyone was very friendly. We ate dinner a couple of times at Loggerheads...it was awesome each time! We also spent an afternoon in Appalachicola looking at the various shops downtown. We finished our visit with a meal at Boss Oyster Bar...it is now a favorite and we are already making plans to run back down there for dinner one Saturday afternoon!

Christie & James Haddad, Atlanta, GA (May 2006)
We had a great time at Cape San Blas. The weather last week was PERFECT. Sea Breeze was very nice and the beach was uncdroded, which made it nice for Parker to be able to romp around in the waves. The couple in Cape Escape I was really nice and Parker enjoyed playing with their dogs. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Tricia & Jerry Matheny, Nortonville, KY (May 2006)
We had a wonderful time. We met a lot of people (dog people), including the couple who stayed in Sea Breeze. My golden, Grace, was a little sweet on their lab, Parker! The townhouse was great, had everything we needed. The binder with all the local information was so helpful.
The only problem I'm having is getting re-adjusted to my queen size bed after sleeping in that enormous king size in The Cape Escape! We will definately be back, but it will probably be a could of years. We are hoping to have our first child early next yer! I'll need a vacation soon after that!
Sue and Will Bonds, Mobile, AL (May 2006)
We arrived home safe and sound and very tan! But our Cairn Terrier "Chuck" had, by far, the very best time. He swam in the ocean, chased and caught severy of the ghost crabs and even dove in the pond to help my husband retrieve a large bass that got off our line at the very last minute. He loved running up and down the stairs in the condo and socializing with the many other dogs in the complex. The complex is awesome--it reminded me of a golf community, immaculately manicured and so spacious. The condo was so comfortable and I would certainly encourage you to keep it pet friendly.
My husband and I enjoyed the quiet and solitude--but we missed giong out to dinner, shopping and the night life. We didn't really want to drive to Port St. Joe or Apalachicola and leave our pet alone.
Cape San Blas is truly the undiscovered Paradise!!! Thank you for welcoming us into your home. If you ever find yourself in Mobile--give us a call!
Larry and Pam Smith, TN (May 2006)
Pam and I would like to tell you howm much we enjoyed staying at The Cape Escape I. Cape San Blas and THe Cape Escape I was perfect. Both of us were able to really relax and unwind there. The dogs loved their morning and evening walks on the beach. The weather was fantastic and there weren't a lot of people around so you didn't have to fight any crowds. It was really beautiful and relaxing.
Holly Anderson & Family, Ft. Wright, KY (May 2006)
We just got home from our fabulous trip to your condo. It was soooooo relaxing and comfortable I hated to come home.
I want to THANK YOU so much Wendy, for making special arrangements for me and the kids...it meant the world to me. It will be a trip we will remember for a lifetime and couldn't have been possible without your flexibility and sincerity. THANK YOU!.
I've given your name to 2 people so far, you've come highly recommended. Just wanted to say thanks again!
Lots of love and gratitude,
Holly, Jackson and Natalie Anderson
Ruby, Mick and Dylan Hebel, IN (April/May 2006)
We had a great time at your place! We would see maybe 4 o5 5 others on the beach and we usually had the pool to ourselves. I guess we got in before the season began!
We dined out quite a few times and attended Mass both in St. Joe and Apalach. Our friends enjoyed their brief stay, and we wish now that we had talked them into the estuary tour which we loved. We learned so much in just 2 hours about the river, the marshes and the wildlife. That Gibby knows his stuff.
Dylan (our dog) is no beach boy! He would join us for walks, but would not go near the water. His favorite thing is to be in the car, going some place!
We sure had everthing you could think of. Yours is the best equipped condo we've ever rented. You really have thought of everything. We especially enjoyed the lush bed. We're definately switching to a king bed when our new retirement home is finished.
After our new home is completed, we plan to begin wintering 2 to 3 months each year someplace warm, so you may hear from us again! Thank you for sharing your beach home with us!
Amanda, Roger & Blue, MS (April 2006)
We had a GREAT time at the Cape!!! It was wonderful! W ehad six great days of sun and fun!!! We took our pontoon boat out every day. The dolphins were amazing. They played around the boat checking us out.
We snorkeled around Black's Island and found large sand dollars. It was great. Blue loved chasing the sand crabs! She loves the beach. It was great having her with us!! She had as much fun as us. We didn't want to leave. Even my husband wanted to stay one more day (he always wants to get back home at the end of the week). We din't have much success with crabbing though. Thanks so much for sharing your little piece of Paradise!!! It was a great week. PERFECT!!!!
Marcia Plyler, Fayetteville, NC (April 2006)
Dear Wendy,
I apologize for taking so long to reply, but it is so hard and busy when you return from vacation! We had an absolutely wonderful time!!! It was just my mother, sister, daughter and I. We pretty much did nothing but talk and lay around (well, some reading)! We ate at Sunset Grill in Port St. Joe one night, and at the Loggerhead another. You know, my mind is already leaving me with all the hustle and bustle of real live. We also went shopping Tuesday at the outlets in Destin. Saturday, after leaving we drove to Savannah and spent the night because my sister had never been there. We messed around there and on the way home Sunday and didn't get in until 8 p.m.!
We really had a terrific, relaxing, no stress time! Of course my favorite things were walking my dog on the beach early in the morning and going back down to watch the sun set in the evening! Oh how beautiful!!. Thank you for the deposit refund check and your card! I would recommend the Cape Escape to ANY of my friends.
Cheri Driskell & Family, Indianapolis, IN (March 2006)
Thanks Wendy! It was a great vacation for the entire family! We enjoyed getting to know our neighbors and will definately be calling you again! The atmosphere was breath taking! Everyone we talked to was so friendly and welcoming!
Note: I'm not very "technical" so I was not able to take their beautiful pictures and add them here! Wendy
Tim and Karen Shannon, North Augusta, SC (March 2006)
Wendy. Thank you for your email today. We arrived home safely a short while ago and had a wonderful time. We are so grateful that you provided the opportunity for us to have a place where we could take JD with us. We know that we will not have him with us a great deal longer and it was a special vacation for all of us.
We tried to do most everything we could during the time we had available including waling, biking, kayaking, crabbing, etc. Visited a few restaurants and enjoyed the Mexican place in Port St. Joe and the Applichocola Seafood Grill the most (the raw oysters were the best ever)! Had a noon meal at Toucans in Mexico Beach and that was poor.
Anyway, it was fun to explore as much as we could. It was great to have the State Park so close and also enjoyed a bike ride on the stretch of beach at Indian Pass. The accommodations were exceptionally clean and organized with everything available. We didn't meet and talk with a lot of folks, however, JD was always a "hit" on the beach because of his size (great dane!).
It's ironic that yesterday we spent time on the pond dock catching and releasing fish with the folks from Ontario that were in your other unit. Again, thank you for your prompt attentiveness from the very first time we contacted you!

Cathy and Roo Tennesee (March 2006)
Arrived back home safely last evening and what a TERRIFFIC vacation. I loved the entire Barrier Dunes complex and felt completely safe and the people were all very friendly. Of course, Roo was a great attention getter and, by the way, he loved the beach and also the water. The accommodations were perfect. Great facility and I loved my stay and my birthday present to myself!
David and Cherryll Bullerdick, Michigan (Jan.-March 2006)
We got back to Michigan last night, boo! It's all snow and cold and I am missing the Cape already! We did get to the kayak on the bay...awesome!!! I loved it, so realxing and peaceful. I so enjoyed meeting you and staying at the CapeEscape II was WONDERFUL!
These guys are Gibbon, Biloxi and Agatha...and, of course, David!
They are now looking forward to spending the winter of 2007 in The Cape Escape II!
Matt and Sally Spero, Virginia (February 2006)
LOVED SEA BREEZE!!! The pictures don't do it justice! The bed is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in!
Cape San Blas is beautiful! Tico is a total beach poodle now! Thank you so much for a great week.
Eileen Huey & Buster, Bayside, NY (January 2006)
I had a wonderful time at Cape San Blas! Except for one very windy day, the weather was great. Your place is lovely. Thanks for having all the little extras and allowing people to bring their pets! Buster loved the beach!
Joe, Angie, Lucy & Buddy, Marland Heights, MO (Jan. 2006)
We had a great time! Can't wait to go back!

The Underwood Family, Alabama (December 2005)
We just got home and unpacked. I am so glad we stayed the extra day. We had a great time...caught fish, shopped, explored and slept. Having the dogs there really made it for Brenda which naturally makes me happy! We all want to come back if we can work it in!
You have a great place and I agreee with the other that the little personal touches definately set it apart from most rentals. Thanks for working with me on such short notice & Happy New Year to you and your family. Jim U.
The Duff Family, Winter Springs, FL, (Thanksgiving Week, 2005)
Wendy,
Thanks so much for providing us with the best vacation we have had yet! Even with the weather not at it's best the first few days (rain), we all had such an awesome time. The Cape is by far the most beautiful beach we have seen. I think the simple fact that it is not so over crowded makes it such a wonderful place. We will definitely be using your place again. We took one of your cards from the white notebook and put it in our phonebook here at home.
Anyhow, thanks again! Your condo lived up to all our expectations and then some. Have a wonderful Christmas and start the New Year off with a bang!
Pam and George Hobby, Powder Springs, GA (November 2005)
Your condo is great, we had a great time and our dogs behaved much better than we thought! They loved being on the deck and watching George fish and all the turtles that come up. At sunset we would take them to the beach and they played and chased crabs. They were so tired on the way back home! I will get you some pictures! Thanks for the stay. Pam and George
David and Michele Lujan (November 2005)
We LOVED your little piece of heaven on earth!! I promise a more detailed not, re-entry is taking time! Nothing was biting for us on the Bay, but Dave cought lots of Whiting in the surf! Thanks for your hospitality. I'll be calling soon to check future dates!
Nathan and LaShon Shook, Chickamauga, GA (October 2005)
Wendy,
We had a great time!!! It was a treat getting to meet you & your family. Taking Chipper with us was a wonderful experience. It was almost like when we took our kids for the first time. He had a ball, and so did we. The ocean was getting rough on Thursday evening. Friday it was really rough, but we didn't have any rain all week (Due to Hurricane Wilma) GREAT! We found a lot of large shells on the beach on the morning walks. Scott caught a 2 foot carp off the porch with a brim pole, I could't tell who wore out first. He had fun with the brim all week.!!!
The beach supplies and cart were a big plus. Thanks! We met a few people and they were real nice, but mostly we were alone on the beach most of the time. Went crabbing, with chicken on a string and had a lot of fun and caught a lot. Went to Sunset Coastal Grill twice and really liked it. Went to Boss Oyster twice and like it..Went to Tucans Twice and it was so so. Broiled steaks in oven one night. Well i better go, it is time to fix supper.
Yes, it is rough going back to the real world. Thanks again for having a pet friendly place. We are talking about maybe checking on getting the place when our daughter is on spring break next year. You will be hearing from us again i'm sure.
Thanks again
Scott, LaShon & Chipper Shook
Debbie Jarret and Family, Cumming, GA (October 2005)
We had a wonderful time! We all agree it was our best vacation ever. So relaxing and you were right about us falling in love with Cape San Blas! The mosquitoes were a little annoying, but we dealt with them with plenty of bug spray ;-). We took your advice and took a boat out in the bay--it was a perfect day! Thanks so much for that advice.
Thanks again for all your info and advice--it was so helpful and added to our experience immensely! We hope to be in contact again for our next Cape Escape!
Don and Pat Powers, Wilsonville, AL (September 2005)
Wendy,
We really had a nice trip to your condo. The unit is nice, clean and furnished very well. We loved the pools and tennis courts, but mostly enjoyed the fishing off of the porch. We must have caught and released over 200 nice size Bream. The only bait we used was baloney, pepperoni and bread! Our only complaint was the sand flies. We received our deposit yesterday, thanks!
Note from Wendy: The sand flies are seasonal and Gulf County does aerial spraying for the sand flies and mosquitoes, but we do recommend that you bring bug spray (I have heard that Deep Woods Off helps) and we bring Yard Guard to spray around our area too! They have never been a big problem for our family any time of year with bug spray!
The Jaynes' (Memphis, TN) September 2005
Wendy
We had an absolutely wonderful time!! It was beautiful. We will email you pictures of Yukon and Shady swimming. We've been telling all of our friends and family about it and talking it up for next year. It's nice to go to a beach that's not commercialized. We were disappointed that Indian Pass Oyster bar was closed but we were told it will be opening up around the first of the year and will be even better! We will email you those pictures and thank you again!
The Jaynes
Angela Ramage & Cocoa (Smyrna, GA) September 2005
Wendy,
The Cape was wonderfull!! It was so relasing and I totally agree with the other: the worst part is having to leave. By Sunday, when we arrived, the Red Tide had moved on and the beach only became more beautiful each day. Cocoa loved it and quickly learned to collect "beach bones" (sea shells) and chase sea gulls (sigh). She spent a lot of time in the water picking up shells and carrying them back to my towel. She looks like a wet rate because I had her cut short for vacation at the beach). She also found "her" place in front of your sliding glass door so she could keep up with who was on the tennis courts. I got a wonderful tan and almost finished a novel that I had promised a friend that I would read--he is the author--Darkstar by Creston Mapes. We met people at the pool that we talked with on and off all week. One night , we even met them for sunset at the clubhouse.Thank you so much for all you did to make my time at Cape San Blas wonderful. When we drove away, the friend that was with me asked, "Wonder how much she wants to reserve this place again for next year?"
I'm sure that I will be calling you again in the future. Plus, I took several of your business cards from teh invaluable white notebook to give to friends. While we were there, we called it our "Cape Bible" because it was so full of information.Hope we can keep in touch!
Blessings,
Angie

Vint Lawson and Family (Marietta, GA) August 2005
Wendy,
Thank you as it was the perfect vacation--down time with the wife and kids. You accommodations were perfect as we felt at home the second we entered. The kitchen set up was excellent as we had everything at our fingertips.
The Cahill's (Pinson, AL) August 2005
We are still trying to re-acclimate to this reality show we call life--even Ashes (our dog).
You have a wonderful "home away from home" and we appreciate your allowing us to experience a little slice of paradise. The rejuvenation was needed and enjoyed by all! We will definitely will be keeping The Cape Escape in our list of future vacation spots and will be recommending you to anyone that asks!Best Regards,
Kate and Toby
The Beckman Family (Fairfield, OH) August 2005
We are here and everything is just wonderful. I must say that NONE of your pictures or descriptions of this place do it justice! It is far more beautiful than words could have described. We laid in the middle of the street and looked at the stars last night (you'd think they didn't have stars in Ohio!). They were just so brilliant and breathtaking.
We appreciate all the amenities in your home (foil, baggies, etc.). The dogs are having a blast. They love the beach and the people at the beach love them! We saw dolphins close to shore yesterday. That was neat! I believe this will be our home away from home for years to come! We had been going to Siesta Key for the last 7 years! I am sending pictures along...hope you enjoy them!
Have a great day! Kind regards, Barbara Beckman
Note from Wendy: Being from Sarasota and knowing how beautiful Siesa Key is, I'm flattered you have selected Cape San Blas and The Cape Escape as your new "home away from home!"Denise Weaver and Family, July 2005
We had a great time and I am sure we will do it again! Demon loved it and everyone was so friendly. They did not remember me and Kevin, but they always remembered Demon and he is so friendly they loved him! I will send you some pictures when I teg them developed and will scan them and send them to you!
The beach was great! Went fishing with Captain Bobbie and caught red fish. We left Demon with a pet sitter recommended by your local vets office. It is called Golden Rule and the girls name is Diana. She watched Demon one day and all the people there said she was very nice and frienldy and Demon loved her so we left the info in your book in the condo. We loved the Dockside Cafe and we took Demon with us and ate outside. They have a pet walk area too!
Note: I have added the pet sitters name on the pet page of this web site and in the guest information book we provide in all of our rentals!
The Newby Family (Alabama) July 2005
We really enjoyed the area and your place was fabulous! I didn't have time to write in the journal you had left. We were trying to beat the rain so we wouldn't have to drive home in storms.
The beaches were beautiful. The clearest I have ever seen. I also got to see my first dolphin. They were jumping out in the ocean on Friday. I was so excited. I also got a picture of a real Florida gator. We were driving to the Indian Pass oyster bar, which by the way is closed, and while driving back there was the gator in the ditch. I made my husband turn around so I could get a good picture of it. To sum it up, the most relaxing vacation I have ever had. Your books were wonderful. I finished 2 and my husband finished 2. What a wonderful week. Thank you so much!!!!The Newby's(Note from Wendy: The Indian Pass Raw Bar was closed temporarily due to Hurricane Dennis--couldn't get Oysters! It'll be back!)
The Rotellini Family (St. Louis, MO) June 2005
Dear Wendy,
The Cape was everything you said it would be and more. We had a wonderful time. It was so hard to leave on Saturday and get back to the real world. I don't think I have ever been so relaxed and rested.I guess you were listening to the news about Arleen, well we went through her and boy was she a mess! The electric was totally out when we arrived but within a few hours it was back on. The water was a mess for a day or so but cleared, but what treasures it left for us, shells were everywhere especially by the lighthouse-- what a treat.We went horseback riding on the beach and took an all day trip out on a pontoon boat-- WOW what fun .We hope to book your beautiful home again in the very near future, hope you will have an opening in the fall, Ed and I would love to come back.Our heartfelt thanks for a wonderful time!Terri and Ed Rotellini
What a relaxing week! Thanks for the perfect place to stay! We couldn't have asked for anything better!Alex, my golden retriever, has never experienced the ocean in her 7 years and what an experience it was! Biting at the waves and chasing her toy in the water, swimming until she was absolutely exhausted! It was wonderful for the both of us--many great memories!We took a sunset cruise and a snorkeling trip at Seahorse Water Safaris in the Port St. Joe Marina. The owners were a lot of fun and educated us on the different life in the ocean. We ate at Dockside Cafe--pretty good--atmosphere was great! The weather was perfect--80's-90's the entire week, which was exactly what we were hoping for!Thanks for everything. I will be sending pictures your way soon! Hope to visit again in the future!Tina Theobald, Becky and Alex (the dog)
The Lattner Family (Hampton, IL) May 2005
Thank you for your Southern Hospitality! The condo was very nice. With 4 kids the Piggly Wiggly came in very handy! We ate at The Hut--very fresh seafood! It has been so nice not to have a schedule, but we must go home! We met some very nice people from far away and they say this is the best time to come! It rained coming in and was cloudy the first day--75-80 the rest of the stay!
Thank you for everything Wendy and family! We had a great time! It was fun watching the crabs at night on the beach. Another adventure for the Lattner family!

Quad Cities (Hampton), IL--On the Mississippi River
The Rascoe Family (Glasgow, KY) June 2005
We had a very relaxing time and a lot of fun! The walks on the beach were great! The beach seemed to change in appearance each day. The weather was so-so, but it didn't stop us from relaxing, napping and reading books! Our first family vacation together was most memorable. WE saw a sea turtle laying eggs, which was awesome, but a little scary when we walked up on her! We traveled to Shell Island on Thursday, but sad to say, didn't find many shells. Oh well! We should have taken a 9 am cruise I guess.
Thank you for opening your doors to us. We had a great time. I got a little sun and got to relax! We LOVED going ghost crabbing at night. I had the bright idea to pick one up and got pinched! We laughed and laughed. We also saw a loggerhead turtle building a next and trying to lay eggs. Totally awesome! My son found a sweetie while he was there , so he was happy! Thank you for everything!
**Thanks for all the amenities. I've not had those in other condos that I've stayed in for a week!
Sincerely,
Scott, LaDonna, Ben, Natasha Rascoe and Andrew Edge
The Rushbrook Family (Lansing, MI) April 2005
We loved every minute! Thanks! We felt completely at home and could not believe the beauty of the beach--even with the amazing waves and awesome wind!
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday--Fantastic! Kayaked in the bay, saw starfish, horseshoe crabs, hermit crabs, stingray, etc. Ate at Dockside Cafe in Port St. Joe and really enjoyed it! Had a snack at Beachcomber's--it was OK. Wednesday was another great day. Thursday we went to Apalachicola to shop and eat--enjoyed it all a lot! Friday more beach and lunch at Indian Pass Raw Bar--LOVED it!
It was hard to leave! We all had a fabulous time! Thanks John and Wendy for all your thoughtfulness in providing everything we needed. The beach cart was a great hit! We hope to come back someday!
Robin, John and Julia
The Hunt Family (Golden, IL) April 2005
Wendy,
It was nice meeting you. We had a good trip home but did not want to leave the Cape! It was truly beautiful. It was also more relaxing than our past vacations.
The kids loved the beach and the pool and we all had a wonderful time. The sunsets on the Cape are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. We enjoyed canoeing in the bay and spending lots of time on the beach! We had such a relaxing vacation! Thank you for sharing your lovely beach home with us! Thank you for all the extras and the information in the Guest book on area activities!
Thank you for being prompt in returning our deposit and for sharing your lovely beach home with our family. Our dog Smokey also had a great time. We look forward to coming back again next year and will recommend you to other interested in visiting paradise!
Thank you--Kris, Christina, Kiley, Lance and Smokey
Brian and Angie (Avonmore, PA) May 2005
Dear Wendy,
Just a quick note of thanks and appreciation for your help in planning our vacation! We got back today and had a perfect week in your condo! We were impressed with your place. Very well equipped with EVERYTHING. Can't tell you how much we appreciated all the kid/beach gear! Kids loved the kite, too!
Just can't say enough about our trip. It was very relaxing and enjoyable! Thanks again and hopefully we will be in touch with you next year at the same time! Take care and have a good summer!
Curt and Regina C. (Cape Cod, MA) January 2005
We have enjoyed staying at your condo. The condo is a perfect size for and extended stay. We were able to find "our own space" to watch TV, read or nape without interfering with each other. Your directions for accessing the condo are flawless. The condo was waiting for us was clean and orderly. The kitchen is well equipped!
The beaches are great and the local shellfish and restaurants excellent! We added to your activities manual with menus from several places that we enjoyed and the Mass schedule for the Catholic churches in Apalachicola and Port St. Joe.
Thanks again for providing us with an enjoyable, comfortable vacation!
Gary S., April 2005
Wendy,
I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your condo. Our oldest son is 12. We have been doing Spring Break in Florida at least seven years. I can honestly say of ALL the places we have stayed, yours is BY FAR the nicest. No one could put more thought into the things needed at the beach than you have. My wife wanted to pack up your king-size bed. Lucky for you it wouldn't fit in the car! I cannot begin to indicate all the thoughtful touches you have put into the "comforts" in your place. Let me say that All the things you do make a difference.
Thanks so much for sharing your place.
The Stewarts (Indianapolis, IN) March/April 2005
It's time to go and boy are we glad---just Fooling! It's April Fool's Day!
Enjoyed the place very much--so many nice things available that we didn't have to purchase (Kleenex, beach stuff, hand soap, etc.). Thanks Wendy!
Like the bay and all the fun stuff to catch and admire and of course, the Gulf is SO beautiful too! We also appreciated the pet friendly neighborhood and beach. While we opted to bring our dogs, we enjoyed the other dogs around! Our son enjoyed skateboarding with some friends he met!
For restaurants we enjoyed Beachcombers, Papa Joe's in Apalachicola was OK, service was a problem! Raw Bar in Indian Pass was "an experience"---good, but not what we expected!
Julie (Alabama), October 2004
We love the Cape...I cannot even start to explain how wonderful our week was down there....We had a wonderful time and will have to send pics when we can. Our dog (poodle) loved it and we regret not taking our lab!
Thank you so much for all your info and encouragement. We have found our niche. The wildlife is unbelievable. I watched the bald eagles soar above us on several occasions--I will send you a pic or two!
From Rachel, August 29, 2004
We are back home, drove straight through yesterday. We had a great time. The house was really nice. The beaches at Cape San Blas are beautiful. We will definitely try and go again next year. We cleaned up the place and followed the directions in your book. Hope everything was how it was supposed to be. Thanks for a great place to stay, we will tell our friends/family how nice it was and refer to any/all.
