Selah by the Sea

We were fortunate to enjoy Selah by the Sea for the month of February. This home exceeded our expectations in every way. The home is finished and furnished very nicely, even the sheets were of high quality. The deck furniture on each level was appreciated. This home is in a special location because you see primarily the dunes of Rish Park as you look north. The views from each floor are fantastic and sunset watching is a nightly must. The kitchen is very well stocked and it was so nice to have a water filter. There are many thoughtful touches such as games and puzzles provided in the tv cabinet. This was our first time renting a home on the Cape with an elevator. It was super helpful for moving in and groceries. The home was very clean on our arrival. We noticed a couple of minor items that needed attention such as loose towel hooks and some light bulbs that were out. Coastal Joe sent someone over the same day. The Coastal Joe staff are fantastic to work with. They are all very helpful, friendly, and responsive. Thank you to Mary, Holly, and Britney at Coastal Joe. We look forward to returning to Selah by the Sea next year.

Great house on the beach. We loved everything about our week at Selah by the Sea. We will be back.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Selah by the Sea! I have a set of 11 month old twins and this would be their first trip to the beach ever.... I was pleasantly surprised with the accommodations Selah by the Sea had for young children... The baby gates to block of stairs, pack -n - play we used for a crib, the elevator ( easy transportation of 20 pd twins) , the top floor with it's on personal refrigerator to manage bottles and feeding supplies and most of the convenience to the beach access.. When my babes were ready for a nap, it did not require the entire family to leave the beach! We will definitely be returning! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful week at Selah by the Sea. The home is gorgeous and the location was perfect. One thing that really impressed us was how well stocked the kitchen of the home was. Everything we needed was provided in terms of cookware and utensils. The house is spacious and the elevator makes bringing bags and groceries in a breeze. This place was exactly what I'd want in a beach home. Coffee on the porch in the morning and a cocktail by the stars at night. Beautiful home, very cozy.

Our family had the best vacation at Selah by the Sea. This is our second time staying here, but the first with all our children and the grandchildren. After this week the family has decided that we want to make this a yearly family vacation here. Home is amazingly gorgeous, and location on the beach is perfect. Very private. Provides an elevator which made the moving in and out a breeze. Kitchen is fully equipped with cookware and utensils. Third floor was great for my grandchildren and their parents. Provided them with their on space and privacy . Each floor has a beautiful deck to watch the sunrise and sunsets that are just gorgeous there. My favorite thing of this condo is the convenience to beach access which is just outside the bottom deck . The outside shower made coming in and off the beach with the children a breeze. Thank you for sharing your home.

My family and I had the best vacation at Selah by the Sea in Cape San Blas. This unit was perfect for us. The elevator made moving in and out a breeze. My children and their friends loved the third floor with the sleeper sofa. They were able to play their games and watch movies while my wife and I enjoyed peace and quiet on the second floor. Each floor had a spacious deck with beautiful views and the Sunsets were amazing. Access to the beach is a short walk down the boardwalk and the outside shower makes coming off the beach effortless. There is a state park that is less than 100 yards from the unit that gives you the feeling of a private beach. When the beach gets too hot, you can cool off in the private pool. The kitchen was well furnished with all the accessories of home. If you enjoy going out for a bite, there are several quaint local restaurants that are a short scenic drive away. For those of you who enjoy the tourist trap vacation locations this unit is not for you but if you are looking to get away from the crowds and relax, Selah by the Sea is your destination.

The house was just beautiful and the owner clearly put a lot of thought into making it very special. A partially shaded pool, private boardwalk to the beach, a filtered water faucet in the kitchen, extra comfortable beds and linens, well stocked kitchen (nice quality pots, pans and even an air fryer), etc. A very kind welcming gift. Best of all? Sweeping views of the water from virtually every window. The pics don't fully capture how amazing the views are from all over the main floor (as well as the bedrooms). Our visit was extra special as we had 6 baby loggerheads find their way into the pool. Someone left their house lights on behind us and confused them (they mistook the lights for the moon and headed away from the ocean). SO we got to save the little guys and work with Turtle Patrol to "rescue" a few more. A very special experience. We've been coming to the Cape for about 20 years--and this is one of the best parts of the beach. The Rish Park is to your right--so there is almost no one on that stretch of beach. Very peaceful and private. In conclusion, we very much enjoyed Selah by the Sea and would highly recommend it. We will definitely come back. Thanks for a great vacation!

Elevator was great. Didn’t have to use the stairs as much. Beach views were #1

The house was in a good location & a good size for our family.

Our family just got back from a week long stay at Selah by the Sea. The house is lovely with high end finishes! We loved that all the bedrooms had private baths, the kitchen was gorgeous and fully stocked with beautiful ocean views. The boardwalk to the beach is literally attached to the bottom patio. The house is in a great location with Rish park close by on one wide with beautiful views of their sand dunes. We would absolutely stay here again.

Everything described in the home’s description is exceeded, making the stay perfect for visitors with elderly guests.! The home’s layout is perfect, the elevator allows for easy mobility and the walk to the beach is provided by a boardwalk that dead ends into the sand with no steps up and down. The fourth bedroom is really a loft area with a pullout sofa bed and bunkbed area, but very adequate for any guest. Suggest you rent a beach wheelchair to transport guests with mobility problems to the shoreline, we did and the task was easy.

The kitchen layout is perfect, home is comfortable, well decorated and generally very clean. Highly recommend this property.

I cannot say enough good things about this vacation rental. Very clean and well updated. Living areas, kitchen, and all bedrooms are well spaced & accommodating. Plenty of room for 2-3 families. Thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay here; the easy and direct access to the beach was a major plus. Also enjoyed being able to come back to the house and cool off in the pool. Great location as it is a short drive to the local store for any last minute necessities as well as the donut shop for breakfast! We will certainly be back!

Had an amazing time at this beach vacation home . Accommodated all of our family needs and was super nice

We spent a week in Selah by the Sea and the home was beautiful. The location is perfect right on the beach with easy steps to the gulf and gorgeous sunsets. The home advertises 4 bedrooms and that is not the case. The 4th bedroom is on the 4th floor put there are no walls for privacy. There are two uncomfortable bunks and a pull-out queen sofa but the entire area is open to the stairs. This is a 3 bedroom home with a second seating area. Don't expect to have good cell coverage as it is almost non-existent but that is good if you are on vacation. You have no choice but to unwind and enjoy your beautiful surroundings. Overall we had a wonderful vacation with our family.
