Sea Casa

As usual Coastal Joes was great! Had an issue with the cable on tv & it was resolved promptly..also an issue with clothes dryer that was repaired promptly..Sea casa was spotless & perfect location, throughly enjoyed our stay!

This was our second time staying at Sea Casa and renting through Coastal Joe (once in May and again in September, 2022). The location is excellent for the price. You can see the water from the house and it's a very short walk to the beach. There were some appliance issues this time and Coastal Joe did a great job of solutioning. The house could use some sprucing up, but there's nothing about it that would keep us from staying there again.

Sea Casa was great for my husband & I. We brought our dog and he was comfortable as well. Not a bad walk to the beach for just the 3 of us. It would have been more work if we were toting toys & several items to the beach for a family. I would make a couple suggestions. I think the king bed would be more comfortable with a memory foam topper on it. It was very hard. Also some sort of a gate that can be closed at the top of the stairs. Keeping dogs or small kids from going down the stairs would have been nice while we sat outside on the deck. The house was well equipped with kitchen utensils. The wifi was pretty spotty. We tried several times to watch TV and it would kick in and out. Otherwise the location was nice because we were around the corner from the trading post and the seafood market which we visited everyday.

This was our first time staying at Sea Casa and our first time renting through Coastal Joe. We've been coming to Cape San Blas for several years and love the area. This house is a great value. Even though it's not right on the beach, you still get gulf views from several angles. The house was perfect for us (2 adults and 2 small dogs). The house could use a few minor cosmetic fixes (ceiling, paver walkway outside) - but it was very clean and well laid out. We'll definitely stay there again.

Very nice house. Lots of room and enjoyed hearing the waves.

We had a great trip. The rental service was easy to work with. The house is in a great location. It is only a few steps to the beach and about 4 properties away from the Trading Post store. There were a few beach chairs and a cart to use. The outdoor shower with hot water was nice. Dog friendly house.

the place was nice enough. the road to the actual house needs a lot of work and the outside (landscaping) needed some TLC when we arrived. otherwise it was a nice place, short walk to the beach, minimal view of the beach.

Overall pretty good experience. Had a few issues, most of which were handled promptly. Weather caused us to leave early.

We had a terrific stay at Sea Casa with Coastal Joe! The house is in a great location and just what we needed. Simple accommodations, nothing too fancy, with all the basics. Coastal Joe’s staff made it super easy to check in and out as well as let us have a late checkout since the property was vacant for a few more days. We’ll be back!

We loved our time at the Cape and the home was nice and convenient to the beach and the Trading Post

Great location, easy access to the beach and walking distance to a great lunch restaurant and general store. The house needs a little TLC; a new fan in the master bedroom, new mattress in the guest bedroom and a little yard maintenance. Our dog didn’t care about any of those things and was so thankful it was dog friendly.

Husband,pups, and I had a relaxing and enjoyable stay at Sea Casa. Home was as described and pictured. Very clean and spacious. The staff were courteous and helpful. I would definitely recommend Sea Casa as a nice place to stay. We mostly spent time relaxing on the beach. Visited Appalachicola fork lunch and Port St. Joe another day. House is within an easy walk to St. Joe Seafood, ice cream/coffe, donuts, and Cape Trading Post. We’ll definitely be back next year!

Sea Casa looks just like the pictures and more. Great views of the Gulf right from the living room. It was a perfect place for one family. A one minute walk to a beautiful beach.

We’ve stayed at Sea Casa previously and knew what to expect. Kitchen was well stocked and the house was clean. They added an outside shower with cold/hot water that is nice. Beds were comfortable. The living room furniture is a little outdated but comfortable. Understand that it is not a gulf from unit so your gulf view is limited. We will return to this house .

Great!

Great and easy rental experience!

Great location, nice clean house

This house is a very short walk to the beach and very conveniently located near the local general store. Only has one tub shower unit, but two sinks and two toilets set up in a Jack and Jill type layout so there is privacy. The new outdoor shower was nice. The kitchen is well appointed. The furniture is comfortable save for the queen sized bed mattress which very badly needs replacing. Overall a good house for the rental price.

This home was a great fit for my family of four. The walk to the beach was short, the home was comfortable and well stocked, and our favorite part was how close it was to the Trading Post (and the ice cream shop! ) Just because there are always improvements to be made, the locks on the doors were a bit tricky and the knob has to be in just the right position to get the key to work. Certainly not a big deal, but it would be an easy fix.

Love the updated landscaping & outdoor showers. Very nice comfortable furniture & mattresses, GREAT appliances, and everything you will ever need in the kitchen!!! We had a great stay at the beach!!! Highly recommended!!!

Perfect in every way except the beach nourishment was going on right in front of us. We had to find a different beach for a couple of days that was the only negative, but it had to be done. Our fur babies and us totally enjoyed the Cape. We rode bikes, hiked the state park beach and Stump Hole to see the Donna Kay. Kayak the bay and saw so much wildlife everywhere we went. House had everything you needed and more. Clean and inviting. Mattresses were comfortable-we had to move to the extra bedroom when the beach was being worked on to get away from the noise. We are actually looking to purchase property in the area and would love to make the Cape our retirement home.

Manager's Response

This is the best experience we have had at the Cape. It was only a short walk to the beach which was heaven. You could sit out on the covered patio and listen to the waves. I was in love with the layout of the house and the amenities that were provided. The main bedroom was perfect for our visit. The jack and Jill bathroom was perfect for the 2 of us. No complaints just a very satisfied couple that will be back.

Everything was so clean and tidy, the house was ideally situated literally 3 mins from the beach!
We had an amazing time , we WILL be back

We have visited the area twice now and live the beaches. We loved this house. I was there with my daughter and our pup, Maggie. This was Maggie’s first visit to the beach. It was the perfect house for us. Great distance from beach and fresh market as well as trading post. Could walk if we wanted. The house decor was so pretty and beachy. Loved not having carpet, easier to clean floors. The large kitchen area was perfect for preparing and cooking. We will definitely choose this house again.

We had a wonderful stay . Very clean home close to the beach . Wonderful location close to coastal joes. Only complaint was the grass had not been mowed.

We have rented at THE CAPE for 18 years; we love it here! The SEA CASA is the best accommodation we have ever had! It is only steps away from the beach in a quiet restful spot. We could see the water every day from this house! The house is more than “well furnished” with relaxing beach theme and colors. The mattresses were new as well as many pieces of new furniture. AND there was “anything & everything” you would ever need, especially in the kitchen! The owners have given much thought to what extras you might need or want for cooking, linens, TVs, etc. In fact, we have a list of items we typically need to take on vacation because the items aren’t furnished at rentals. We use this list when packing. During our stay at THE SEA CASA, we never had to go to our ”vacation box” to get even one of these “extra” items. Three species of fish were caught which made delicious fish dinners! We liked the dual bathroom which accommodated more than one person at a time . . . and the extra room in the kitchen preparation area with new appliances, dishes & stainless pans, etc! The laminate floors were easy to maintain & always looked nice. It was an advantage to have both an open porch & screened porch because one of us couldn’t be in the sun. And, it sure was nice to have a garage & extra storage space down below. Sea Casa is highly recommended & we are looking forward to coming back!!!

My husband and I only had a few days to spend this trip to the beach. This house was very comfortable and worked well for us. The kitchen has a great island and would easily accommodate more than one cook. The walk to the beach is short. Being just around the corner from the Trading Post was super convenient.

When I was looking for a property for my family to share for our first vacation with my eldest son and his family, I ran across the Sea Casa, advertised to sleep 6. Long story short, once I communicated with the owner, it was clear that they only wanted 5 guest maximum in the home. I explained that 2 of the 6 would be children, which seemed to make their point that children were often left to sleep on the sofa bed and not supervised left a mess in the bed and living area. A little disappointed I agreed that only 5 would be staying, as one of the children was a guest of the family and although not an easy decision, made appropriate adjustments in our plans. I did try to find something else in our price range and requirements which included a no pet zone,but selections were few. When we arrived the location was excellent, although not directly on the beach, it is nestled among similar beach homes just behind the front beach properties which was just as described. The layout and deco is beach cozy, comfortable and fun. Nice space for a family of 5 or 6, however my son tried the sofa bed and said it was very uncomfortable. The upkeep was a concern and the property management was made aware. The fans had an obvious build up of dust. The shower curtain was heavily molded on the bottom corner and shower the knob had a build up of mold under the cap. My son and his wife found animal hairs on their pillow cases. The yard was unkempt and grass had overgrown the walkway to the steps that led upstairs to the entry door. Property mgmnt immediately sent out someone to bring new linens and to address our concerns very soon after the time of my call.

Well we thought it was too good to be true. The house was clean and bright and beautiful. We were so so close to the ocean. We had great neighbors. The sand was like powder sugar and the water clean and warm. The towns were adorably quaint and full of treasures. Icecream right at the end of the road...what more could we ask for??? We enjoyed every minute, and we are sorry we didn't have an extra minute to write in the book. But know! we would come again and Thank You!!

Everything as advertised. Short walk to beach.

Very nice stay at this property. The kids had a very short walk to beach, the dog got to come along and play and the parents could relax in a semi secluded location. The State Park nearby afforded a hands on experience for all. Sea slugs, conchs, urchins, turtles, star fish, etc., etc.

Relaxing, accommodating, great memories, property location was a plus with a short walk to the beach

Great house, great beach, great location

We enjoyed our stay at Cape San Blas. Sea Casa was very comfortable, clean and the kitchen was well equiped for cooking. The beach and convenience store (ice cream & donuts!) were right there. We brought our dog and found dog lovers everywhere : ) We brought bikes and found the beach is perfect for bike riding. Apalachicola was a nice day trip for shopping and lunch. The State Park at the end of the peninsula has beautiful beaches and trails. We hope to come back next year.

Very happy with the cleanliness of Sea Casa and all the amenities

We came to Cape San Blas to celebrate my sister-in-law's 50th birthday. She had been to Cape San Blas 6 years earlier because of its dog friendly attitude. The area a is extremely low key and relaxing. We took long walks on the beach and read a lot. Sea Casa was a great house to rent. It was very clean and had a great room which enables the family to be together while cooking. The house had been recently updated and looked very nice. It is one block removed from the beach but we still had great sunsets and could see the water from the house. It was also only 2 blocks from the Trading Post, the local convenience store - a big plus. One suggestion we would make would be to put strips on the bottom of the tub to prevent people from slipping.

Our vacation on Cape San Blas was everything we were looking for. The rental home was spacious and clean. The location was ver convent to the beach and an easy walk to a small grocery store. The beach was amazing and although we had 2 days of rain,we still enjoyed walking on the beautiful sand. We brought along our 2 greyhounds and they loved running on the beach. Everyone was so friendly and we met so many people from all over. We loved it so much we are not interested in purchasing a home here ourselves!

We hhad a great time and will see you next time, thanks

We stayed at Sea Casa during a long weekend. The home is exactly as described online and the pictures are very accurate; we felt as if we were familiar with the layout from the second we walked in the door. We were running behind schedule and Caitlyn from Coastal Joe Vacation Rentals was extremely accomodating and allowed my sister who was already in the area to pick up our keys and information packet. We LOVED the seculsion of the beaches and hope to make many return trips to the Cape. The only things that we weren't totally satisfied with: 1) the grass along the walkway was very tall and needed to be cut and 2) the condition of the deck/patio was pretty rough (however we know that the salt air has a lot to do with the wear and tear of the woodwork). Neither of these issues are enough to keep us from staying at Sea Casa again in the future.

The sea casa was great!Plenty of room for 2 adults & teenager. The kitchen was great, well equipped, more cookware than a normal rental. The walk to the beach was 1 min or less, got to know everbody around us and they were great neighbors! We all got food poisoning from eating out in mexico beach, so we were totally inside for 2 days. Of course our cable went down at this time & the staff responded right away & fixed for us. Great vacation , even after the bout of food poisoning. Beach was awesome, best sunsets ever!

Wonderful house with plenty of room,very quiet, and close to the beach. I would rent this house again.

The location of the property was very convenient and met the needs of the entire family. The general condition was adequate. We had to do some general cleanup of typical beach conditions.(Sand on floor areas and several unclean cooking utensils. But I would like to suggest that there be at the very least, an entire roll (or preferably two) full rolls of toilet tissue for guest. It was necessary to purchase toilet paper the second day. Neither bathroom provided a full roll. It would also be helpful to have a general cleaning substance for incidental clean-up. It was also necessary to ask for a working coffee maker (the one provided did not work) and although not watched much, the TV was very difficult to manipulate for use, especially for children. It required an adult to figure the On and Off devices so the TV would work a second time. The instructions provided with the TV do not work. Luckily, we had a technical person along for the week that after 30 minutes , could figure out the process. All suggestions, probably minimal or silly, but in comparison to our last visit to Cape San Blas, different. Thanks for your wonderful staff. Enjoyed the week very much.

No problems what so ever. Short walk to the beach, and close to the Trading Post for supplies.

Everything was great, except the weather-and knowing Florida, that changes sometimes by the hour. Even a bad weather week at the beach in a comfortable house setting is better than a good week at work!! The pet friendly area was very important to us and we were surprised at the restaurants that had outside seating available for our dog also. The whole stay was very relaxed and easy, from making the reservation to handing in the key. Only wish it was closer to home and our business so we could make it a quarterly getaway!! Thanks for giving us a nice break !!

The house was cute and fairly clean. It was a bit worn looking but we still enjoyed our stay. The little deck was nice and we read and played games with our kids there. Close walk to the beach.

We have been renting in the PSJ area for 8 years, this is the finest property we ever had. The owner and Coastal Joe are great. The home has everything we need for our 4 month rental and Coastal Joe takes care of any little problem, Fast! Everything works good, the floorplan is great, and I really like the garage. Good fishing all along the Cape!

For the third year in a row, we have stayed at Sea Casa. Everything about the home works great. The short walk to the beach and the fact that the home is so easy to relax in, makes this an outstanding place to stay. We love It!!!

We love our Sea Casa and have stayed there for a girls week 7 years. It is a great set up for two friends and a dog, each having a bedroom and bath..... And the dog shares! The Great Room includes the kitchen, living room and dining room with an HD TV in the living room.Great outside shower and the addition of a gas grill this year. Very close to the beach and as always, we met wonderful people.

We had a blast the water was beautiful and clear sand was soft and white. I would stay here again. The house was just right for us two and our lab. Our lab loved the water. Thank you so much.

Thank You

Once again we had a wonderful time at Sea Casa. The house is perfect for a small family and the location is great! Can't complain about anything except having to come back home!! Thanks for sharing your home and hope to be back soon.

Perfect

The beds are really worn out and were uncomfortable. We could not locate any extra blankets. A big safety concern of ours was the dryer vent was blowing into the closed area of unfinished house.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas week at Sea Casa. It is a delightful place-quiet, private, easy beach access, spotless. It would have been a bonus to have a gas grille, provide a few extra kitchen towels, and some newer deck chairs. Having the garage is a great convenience. Loved it and hope to return in 2013 for Christmas week. Thank you.

This is our second year at Sea Casa. We love the location and the house. Our vacation was outstanding and we are already looking into booking Sea Casa Next Year. Thanks David and Penne for allowing us to stay in your home. We will be talking to you soon about next year.

the distance from the beach is no problem: out the door, down the outside stairs with the pups and we are all running the 1 min walk to the beach. the house being all on one level is very advantageous to having pups. open floor plan is super. these 2 bedroom ones are hard to find!!!

The house is very nice. one "block" back from the beach. There is easy beach access. House is decorated nicely and has all the necessary items. walking distance from a grocery, liquor, and ice cream store. brought the dogs and they did well. there is a hose right at the foot of the steps so you can hose them off before going in. gotta watch out for the sandspurs, tho.

Sea Casa easy walk to beach and close to store.
very clean, uncluttered, nice screened in porch with light and ceiling fan.covered parking 1 car garage. This rental is just right for 1 or 2 couples. outdoor shower with hot and cold water. We rented with very short notice, Coastal Joe was very easy to work with, with great rates on a pet friendly rental. i would highly recommend them and will be back next year. i give them 5 stars.

Great!

The house is perfect for a small group or family. Spacious great room gives illusion of larger house, Bedrooms nice size and comfortable. Outdoor shower wonderful, and alleviates drawbacks of single tub/shower inside. Location excellent, nothing too far away. Trading post convenience store is well-stocked and a two-minute walk. Beach is beautiful. Take your furniture down when you get there, and don't bring it back until you leave. Safe, secure, and secluded. I have been all over the state of Florida, and the Cape is the Florida I've always sought and never found. The scalloping in both July and September was wonderful, and this was not even supposedly a good year. Indian Pass Raw Bar a treasure, and all the local restaurants are a treat. Can't recommend the house or the Cape highly enough.

The location is great but the property itself was not kept up. The grass was extremely overgrown leading to an overcrowded walkway to the home -- makes for very difficult time trying to get dogs in and out of home and to use bathroom. The toilets were visibly soiled underneath the lid. Property management notified of grass needing to be mowed -- stated it would be done at first of week. It was not mowed entire time we were there.

Very nice place. The owners make it very nice.

We enjoyed every minute!

Had a wonderful week at the Sea Casa. The beach was magnificent, and a short walk away, A sea turtle nest was marked one night, just behind the spot where we left our beach furniture for the entire week, unmolested. Our first time scalloping did not disappoint, thanks to the helpful advice from Scallop Cove, and we shucked several gallons of scallops, and numerous whelks and tulip shell snails, which comprised the bulk of our diet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The raw bar at Indian Pass was great fun, with great Apalachicola Bay oysters, and the honor system beer cooler was a hoot. Good food at the restaurants and groceries in Port St. Joe and Apalachicola. The house itself was perfect for the five of us and our Australian Shepherd. Just speaking the word "beach" at the house now sends him into a frenzy. The Bay is a giant aquarium, and in the two weeks since our return I have purchased a kayak and am about to book another week at the Sea Casa. Su Casa will be Mi Casa as often as I can make it there. It's the Florida I've sought for years, and finally found.

We had a relaxing stay and Sea Casa added to our overall vacation. Loved the large open kitchen/living/dining room. We have a large family and it suited our needs.

We stayed at the house for a week with our daughters, ages 2 and 4. They had never been to the beach before, and we all had a great time! The house was perfect for us, and we're looking forward to our next visit!

Great

Sea Casa met our expectations and we will return again! We spoke with coastal to see if available Jan, Feb & March but has already been booked. Will check with agent on other properties but felt right at home on Seahorse...Will also see if the Casa is available in April 2013.

We enjoyed staying at Sea Casa.

We had a very enjoyable time this past March where we stayed in the Sea Casa beach home. The weather was excellent, we went to the beach daily, shopped at the stores near by, biked that great bike path, and just got some good rest and relaxation in. Oh yes, a great tan also! Thank you so much for sharing the Sea Casa with us @ Cape San Blas.

We not only had a great vacation at Cape San Blas, but stayed at the nicest home at the beach too! Sea Casa is bright and airy, and the kitchen area is equipped with any possible cooking appliance and utensil you would need. The owners are certainly anxious to provide a home away from home! Of course, we are coming back next year!

After having a busy and stressful year, Sea Casa was a perfect place to destress. We would highly recommend Sea Casa to any one looking for a lay back kind of vacation. The beach house had every thing you could want: a home away from home. The beach was awesome as where the sunrises and sunsets! We would certainly go back.

great time. i love the place.

Perfect location, nice house, will come back.

This is the second year we stayed at Sea Casa, and chose this house because we so enjoyed it last year! The house is just what we need, and is close to all that we want to do. If it's available next year, we will definitely want to rent it again.

Our stay at Sea Casa was excellent and much too short! Springer Spaniel Layla really enjoyed chasing sandpipers on the beach and splashing in the ocean. The weather and accommodations could not have been better. We'll be back for more next Spring.

the house lay-out is very user friendly. would love a landing between levels of steps. furniture was very comfortable, not too old, just the couch pillows needed washing from previous renters with black haired dog. Cleaning was fine, but hair from previous dog was still around in places (baseboards, under edges of floor rugs). distance from beach and access to beach are very workable. will be back
