Hi Cotton Villa

I had a wonderful stay at the Hi Cotton Villa. The place feels brand new. There was lots of interior light and great ceiling height. A solid collection of beach games and great access to the beach. The room on the bottom floor was perfect for our group of younger guys. Loved the giant bean bag thing. Would certainly recommend a stay.

This house was more than we could ask for. We have never been to Cape San Blas and found this house to be perfect in every way. New build with plenty of space for our large family to spread out. It even has a ground level large bedroom with bunk beds for the kids to claim as their own. The 3rd floor kitchen/den/dining room has an open floor plan where everyone could gather to watch the sunset and the kitchen is well equipped. The house is on the beach and only about a 50 foot walk to the beach. Further, it has a nice size pool at the house with plenty of lounge and pool chairs. Less than a mile down the road is a store that sells fresh seafood, and ice cream shop and fresh donuts, and Trading Post general store that has groceries and anything else you might need. Costal Joe was wonderful to work with. We hit the jackpot on our first try with finding this home! We will definitely be back

House was beautiful and clean with great gulf views and acess to the beach. We loved having a pool and elevator and the rooms and living/kitchen areas were spacious and comfortable.

If I were to offer suggestions, they would be these:

- The elevator was fiddly getting it to detect that the doors were closed, especially on the second floor. Some additional calibration would probably fix this.

- It would be helpful to have some sort of table or elevated work surface in the car port area under the house to sort and store beach gear off the floor.

- An additional water hose (one for front and back) would have been helpful.

- The kitchen was well stocked but the non-stick pans had seen better days and was scratched and dinged up (which is a health hazard to cook on). I like to see stainless options in rentals to cook with due to it being able to take a beating from renters.

None of these items diminish my opinion of the house overall and would deffinitely stay here again in the future. We didn't have any issues during our stay that required communication with management but they were very helpful and responsive during the booking and pre-arrival process.

Booked Hi Cotton Villa for a last minute trip and absolutely loved it. We’re booking for our next trip in 3 months as I leave this comment! Soooo close to the beach, we basically had our own boardwalk. so peaceful, spacious, beautiful, and clean! We loved the elevators, helpful for moving our stuff and groceries up and down. Nice knives and plates, we brought spices and oils as the house only had salt and pepper :) pool was convenient, fun room on the main floor. Covered parking is a plus, overall excellent everything!

Nic, spacious, and convenient

This house was enjoyed by all of us for the week. We loved the comfy feel of being "home" as the house is beautifully furnished. The elevator made it easy to transport all kitchen goods and suitcases up to the living levels. Our bed was comfortable for some good night's sleep (and a bonus of seeing the beautiful pool) Meal prep was a joy in the well equipped kitchen with room for all of us to help. The upstairs is open, airy with beautiful sunlight and awesome water views. The two lanai's allowed us to enjoy outdoor living to have coffee and breakfast, watch the beautiful sunsets, enjoy some adult beverages and great conversations. A wonderful beach house for a perfect vacation.

The house was phenomenal and as always Coastal Joe’s is great to work with. We will definitely be back again.

Manager's Response

Home is beautiful and new. Plenty of space. I think it is beautifully decorated and equipped. Not over or under done. We stayed at a different property in CSB last year and while it was a more expensive and beachfront property, it was overdone and had a lot of faults.

We would definitely come back to this location.

The cleaning crew needs to be spoken to however. Found a bathroom toilet uncleaned, and also they left some debris under the sofa.

It would be nice if there was sound bar for the TV in the living room, that could also allow Bluetooth streaming for music.

Also, as others have stated, the elevator did not work at the time of our stay. I wonder why the owner hasn't fixed this. The kitchen is on the 3rd floor, so you have to carry all of your coolers/boxes up 3 flights of stairs.

This wonderful beach home sits on an ideal section of the cape with white sugar sand and clear gulf water. The beach access is easy via a very short walk on a partial sand path and wooden boardwalk. This area of the beach is wide and flat and truly beautiful! The home is clean, well appointed, with a very comfortable interior. Views from the balconies were Amazing!!! Access to the large pool with comfortable deck furniture during the hottest part of the afternoon was such a wonderful treat. Costal Joe’s was responsive and helpful through our whole rental process. 5-star experience!! We’ll be back!

We brought 6 tween/teen boys to the Hi Cotton for a quick weekend trip before school started back. Plenty of room for everyone. The home is beautiful with quality furniture and bedding. Kitchen was well supplied with pots/pans/etc. Plenty of bath towels!! and lots of beach gear available in the home. The beach is easy to get to via a boardwalk, although I do wonder how you will get to the beach once homes are built on the lots. The elevator didn't work at all and I wish that had been disclosed prior to renting. The living space is on the 3rd floor. The neighborhood is being developed, but we couldn't hear the construction next door from inside and it wasn't distracting while outside. The pool was clean with lots of chairs. There is a fish market and small grocery store nearby. We would definitely come back (with a working elevator)!

We had a great week at High Cotton Villa! Would definitely rent again in the future. It was very comfortable and convenient to the beach. Loved it!
