We had a wonderful time! The home provided plenty of room for family oriented fun but also provided areas for quiet time when you wanted to read, etc. We look forward to staying here again.
We had a great time at this home. When we arrived, the home looked perfect, with nice landscaping,closed-in garage,12+ bikes were a nice surprise,loved the pool area w/ lounge chairs,showers,equipment closet;game room was awesome w/ ping-pong table,tvs and a drink fridge. Stairs--there were 38 to be exact, at first we were a bit tired of walking those all day long, but later we loved the exercise we were getting and didn't mind them at all by the end of the trip. A few bothers were the floors kind of dirty when we arrived, we don't wear shoes indoors and our feet were soiled quick. Also, almost none of the bedroom and bathroom doors locked. That was quite a surprise when someone walked in on you! We hope those will be fixed soon. The tv remotes were very difficult to operate, too many of them and mostly did not work at all. The pool gate latches did not work and actually one of the gates completely broke off it's hinge (very rusted), we had to call that in. The kitchen was very well supplied with all kinds of extras that we won't bring next time. Loved the ice maker, dining room table was nice and large. One thing they may consider adding would be some sort of window coverings on the top floor (kitchen/dining/living room area); it was a little hard to watch tv with the glare on it and eating at the main dining table with the sun right in your face. Blinds would ruin the view, but some sort of drapes that open and close would be a plus. The walk ways to the beach were nice, but a little over-grown on the foliage and ground debris needs a clean-up. Other than those few things, the house was absolutely perfect for our family and we have already told all of our circle of family/friends about this home. We will be back soon to enjoy this fabulous property! Enjoyable time,great weather,beautiful decor thru-out home,extra blankets,2 living areas were nice,loved it, loved it! Thanks owners for a nice place!
The wrap-around porches were the best!! Nice neighborhood. Had all the amenities anyone could need and beautifully decorated. The stairs became tiresome after awhile. I would be careful of renting this home if someone in your party had mobility issues. Also, there is not much sound proofing between top (living room and kitchen) and middle floor (3 bedrooms) When people are moving around up there you will definitely hear them.
Lovely home - the amenities suited our family perfectly. We had a fabulous vacation!!!
Seahaven was a perfect house for a large group. We had everything we needed and more! Beach access was very close and the views are breathtaking. I would certainly recommend this property!
Great house !!!
Our visit to Cape San Blas was in honor of our daughter's high school graduation. We brought the whole family; grandparents, uncles/aunts and cousins, 15 total. The house was perfect! It was spacious, comfortable and so close to the beach. None of us was ready to leave (not always the case on a big family vacation). Thanks for magical memories.
We enjoyed the Sea Haven property very much...the pool right off a back deck was a real plus, as was the rec room with ping pong table. The kitchen was well equipped and we prepard serveral dinner in...thanks for the convenient outdoor propane grill. For us, an extended family of 11 with 5 children (four age 6 and younger) Sea Haven was just that!
A lovely house, in a lovely location. 10 people and 3 dogs descended on Sea Haven, and we had a delightful time. The house has enough private spaces and gathering spaces that anyone can either be alone, or be surrounded by others without effort. The kitchen was a true standout. Incredibly well-equipped, even for our curry cook-off, and did I mention sharp knives? We had a lovely time, and a few people even decided to stay an extra day. We'll be back, as soon as we can!
I would recommend this property to everyone. Our stay was perfect and the entire family would do take the trip again in a heart beat. Room for everyone and privacy if you need to get away. Wish I was there.
Oh my gosh!!! It was AWESOME!!! We had a wonderful time! The house is awesome. The views are incredible from every room. We will be back next year!!!!!
The house was great. We had a great time. THe sunsets on the beach where beautiful. The only problem was only half the grill worked so grilling was a problem. The separate small ice maker did not work well. I did report these problems and I feel sure they will take care of them. All in all we had a wonderful and restful vacation.
I think that new mattresses would be a good thing. This is the best stocked kitchen I have ever stayed in, (but could use a large baking dish). The floor plan is great! The house is decorated beautifully, has wonderful decks.Would definitely stay here again!
Everything was perfect, except the trash wasn't picked up all week. We sat it out the night before pick up day and all the trash sat in the neighborhood all week. By the time we left the smell was terrible over the whole area. Besides that it was awesome. The beach and house were better than we even expected and our children didn't want to leave. We would definitely go back.
We loved it, but we want to let you know that when it rained there's a leak into the house in the first floor living room which seems to becoming from a small hole on the right side of the top of the door frame (double doors leading out to the deck). Free standing icemaker in the kitchen is frozen up and didn't work and the air conditioning on the top floor was marginal. Repairman said coil needed to be replaced. But it's a terrific house and we'll be back.
Stayed at Sea Haven from 8Jan10 to 13Mar10. This was second year staying in this property. Everything about the place is more than satisfactory. Property Manager is very responsive to any and all issues. Property Owner equally so. Highly recommend this property to others.
Everyone enjoyed long walks on the beach, the sunsets, swims in the pool and, of course, each others' company. Our Thanksgiving dinner surrounded by windows and views of the beach was great! What a wonderful vacation!
would have been very welcome.
Had all amenities that you would need in a kitchen Very good location. Excellent bike path Very spacious Nice pool Easy walk to beach Very pretty but was not cleaned good Dishwasher needed repair TVs too complicated to program Loved all the porches
Great home. Great location. We would be happy to stay here again!
We've been going to Cape San Blas for about 6 years, staying in a different house each time. After this trip there is no need to look any further, the house was perfect, the view was perfect, the stocked kitchen was perfect, the pool was perfect, the entire experience was just perfection.
The house was beautiful and very well equipped. The only thing we could have used more of were towels and a vacuum cleaner.
Because of an unusual heat wave we spent more time indoors than we normally would. This tested the house and it passed with flying colors. The many games, especially ping-pong, and Wimbledon on TV kept us occupied.
Cape San Blas is a perfect place to get away from it all. Sea Haven accomodated our 3 families with lots of space to relax and have fun! The beach is beautiful and the sunsets are amazing. We just wish it all were closer to our home! Not a lot of restaurants nearby, but a trip to Panama City is a great way to spend a day if you need to shop. The Owl Restaurant in Apalachicola was also a delight. We highly recommend visiting Cape San Blas if you want to relax with sand between your toes. Enjoy!
This was our first time to try Cape San Blas and we are forever in love with the area. The house and pool were awesome and we will definitely return every year.
We had several girls staying in this house, and it served to be a very homey getaway from home! We loved the porches, and being able to see the water from our room!
Everything (home, furnishings, locale, staff) was excellent. Two minor issues - dishwasher should be replaced. Also, home seems to be geared to weekly renters as there were minimal to no cleaning supplies for extended stays. Had to buy toilet bowl brushes, cleaners, etc. Electric broom not functioning, no vacuum cleaner, mops and brooms ineffective for proper cleaning. However, we still left it as clean or cleaner than we found it.
An absolutely amazing house. The pool was warm and great. The views from the decks were amazing. The owners were amazing and Coastal Joe rentals company was very responsive even around the holidays.
We LOVED the house. Beautifully decorated, and perfect floor plan for vacationing with extended family. We had a couple of very minor problems (i.e., gas grill didn't work), and Coastal Joe remedied the problems in a timely fashion. We have a GREAT vacation!
The house was perfect for the number of guests we had. Well stocked kitchen, loved the extra ice maker. The only issue we had was the a/c on the 3rd floor (and as you know, heat rises). We had to call for repairs on two seperate occasions. Once is understandable, twice is beginning to get unacceptable. Glad there was a window unit in the closet, with that said, it makes it appear the a/c is a known problem. You may receive a call from one of the other guests who was very upset about the situation. Otherwise, lovely house and I would not mind staying again.
The home was beautifully decorated and had high end amenities, from the silverware to the linens, etc. Short walk over to the beach on the boardwalk, beautiful beaches. Staff very helpful and quick to respond if needed. Would vacation with this company again without hesitation. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, from the managing staff to the owners. Thanks again, hope to be able to visit again soon.
Location was great. Views were beautiful. Lots of space.
Our stay at Sea Haven was the best vacation we have ever had. The house was a joy to stay in. Everything was top quality & made us all feel very much at home & even a little better than being in our own home since I don't have a built in swimming pool in my back yard!
