A Flip Flop

This property was perfect for our vacation needs. It fit comfortably 4 adults and one toddler! It was a short 2-3 min walk to the beach (tough terrain for a wagon) and the private pool was a hit! No beach view, but you pay a lot more for that. The only negative thing I can say would be that the outdoor cabana roof was missing/broken which would have been nice for shade at the pool and a couple of the plastic outdoor chairs and pool floats were broken or damaged and could use replacing. But we were still able to have a blast despite that!

Our family cherishes our week at Cape San Blas every year and this year, once again, didn't disappoint. A Flip Flop was perfect for our family of 4 and the pool was nice to come back to after a long day at the beach.

We have been visiting the Cape for about 7 years now and always have had a great experience with Coastal Joes. We loved this property. It was convenient, clean, well decorated and well stocked.

Our end of January stay has been great. We needed a gas grill and Coastal Joe's provided it for us.

Our stay the first week of October was great. A Flip Flop has everything you need and more. The pool was very nice, as we enjoyed getting away from the biting flies on the beach!.... we have stayed on the Cape now 4 years in a row and have stayed in something different every time. We would suggest a flip flop for anyone. It was perfect for me and my wife and our daughter and her husband. It did have a pull out couch but we didnt need it. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything you needed. We only brought food, drink, and some spices for the kitchen and paper items. We love the Cape and look forward to coming every year.

We had a lovely stay at A Flip Flop. The one thing that bothered me was that about 3 mornings in a row I woke up finding a cockroach outside my bedroom door. I can tell the unit was sprayed for them because the roaches were always on their back. However, I didn't sleep as well as I would have because cockroaches are a pet peeve of mine and I don't like them. Other than that, we had a lovely stay.

The description and pics are accurate. We could see and hear the ocean from the deck and carport as the description implies. Sat on the deck, drank coffee and read books many times. The walk to the beach is very minimal and we went back and forth throughout the day. Because it was so close and uncrowded, the kids could go back and forth on their own.
The house was very clean and the surfaces, dishes, etc.. were all freshly cleaned and polished. There was a water bottle behind a curtain and one under the couch that appear to have been missed which seemed odd because everything else was so clean.
Some of the house is a little dated, but the main rooms appear to be more recently decorated and modern and bright.
The rental company was very responsive and pleasant and easy to work with.
The beach is not at all crowded, which we loved and the kids had plenty of room to do whatever they wanted and we could spread out our chairs, umbrellas and canopies and still have lots of space between families.
We used the pool a lot and that is one of the main reasons we chose this house. It was clean and refreshing with plenty of chairs and nice lounges. The light in the pool needs to be fixed, but we really didn't need it due the outdoor lights and moonlight.
We saw baby turtles hatch and go into the ocean and a few jellyfish.
We shopped at Beach Planet and had ice cream from Shoobies, which was great. Saw the light house and ate at Krazyfish in Port St. Joe......Owl caf and the Maritime museum in Apalachicola were a nice day trip.
You can walk to the Trading Post which has pretty much anything you need and a ice cream and coffee shop outside.
Mostly, we just stayed on the beach or in the pool and relaxed. Great location for it.

WE WERE VERY CLOSE TO THE BEACH & IT WAS GREAT HAVING A POOL.

We booked this house for a short weekend beach trip and weren't sure what to expect; my wife and I usually stay at condos in Destin or Orange Beach. After this trip, we have a NEW vacation spot!! Coastal Joe, the rental agency, was incredibly pleasant and responsive. And the house was exactly what we were looking for!! It literally took us 1 to 2 minutes to walk to the beach. And the house is in immaculate shape. We couldn't be happier with A Flip Flop and plan to make many more trips to this beautiful (and "Forgotten") part of Florida's coast.
