Sunset Traditions

The house was wonderful and suited our family's needs perfectly. The house was very clean and very well stocked. Unfortunately, we only had 1 day at the house before we were forced to evacuate for Hurricane Michael. We will definitely try to book this house again for a future vacation. We love Cape San Blas and our hearts break for the destruction of the area. Praying for the people who live there.

I grew up going to Cape San Blas every summer with my family. We all have special memories of this beautiful beach and so it was the perfect place to plan a vacation for all of us. Sunset Traditions was the perfect house for us! From the many living spaces for people to hang out, the private pool, the comfy beds, well appointed kitchen to the multiple decks with amazing views of the Gulf, this house did not disappoint! Our favorite thing to do was to watch the sun sink into the ocean then watch all the stars come out. We saw some the best sunsets we have ever seen right from the upstairs porch. The sky was so clear at night that we could see the Milky Way! Every member of my extended family had a wonderful time and before we left we were talking about our next trip to stay in this fabulous property!

Rented many houses over the years, this one was perfect. Location was great. Kind of felt like you were on your on private beach. We would come back again.

Great place to stay

3 Generations had a FUN FAMILY VACATION together.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunset Traditions! I drooled over the kitchen all week. I wanted to take it home with me! The house is well appointed with plenty of room. The beach views were fantastic! The pool was delightful. Its a perfect 10

Once again Sunset Traditions and the Cape proved to be a home away from home. This was our second year in a row to use this home as our family vacation spot. The house and property was spotless, well-maintained and we had absolutely no issues. Their is plenty of room for our clan of 15 with room to spare. The room for small children off the master suite is perfect for our situation. The pool table, game room and ping pong table are a huge hit with all ages. The owner is very, very nice and answered all our questions very promptly and Coastal Joe is on top of things. I have recommended this house and the area to several friends and family. We have already booked for next year.

Beautiful home, perfect location, lots of space for multi-family and multi-generational vacation. Property management and owner were great to work with, and very responsive to questions or concerns. We have been doing beach rentals for many years, and this was by far the best house and overall experience. We loved the large kitchen, pantry, and fridge. Kids loved the pool table and pool. Adults spent lots of time on the top deck watching the waves. Just a few steps to the beach. We would definitely recommend and hope to stay here again!

This is the best house we have ever rented!! Beautiful home, lovely furnishings, lots of space to relax and be alone (if needed), beautiful views of the Gulf. Loved the pool and hot tub! And, we could bring our family dog... what's not to love!

This home is absolutely beautiful and was the perfect size and layout for our party of 15. The 3 floors, 3 decks, and pool area allowed for everyone to have their own space when needed. It is a hop, skip, and a jump away from the beach. The sunsets were amazing. The house was clean and well maintained. The main refrigerator was not working correctly but the owner and management were extremely timely and responsive. There were plenty of other fridges to use. We would recommend this house and location. I wouldnt hesitate to book this house again. We hope to return!

We had a great week! The house is perfect for multi-families, clean and really well laid out. Coastal Joe was easy to work with and Nancy the owner was quick to respond and check on us after the hurricane.

Wonderful home with great amenities and location! We had excellent service with both the owner and Coastal Joe's staff. Would definitely recommend this place. And will be back!!!

A chance to spend time with kids and grandkids. Had a great vacation.

This was our first venture to Cape San Blas and the first family vacation with 15 people total. Hours were spent looking for the right location with the proper accomodations. I finally settled on Sunset Traditions after several emails with the owner(who is very gracious and accommodating) to answer questions about the area and the particulars of the house. My family's response when we walked in the house was WOW, this is awesome and were just as enamored by the end of the week. Many hours were spent playing pool in the evenings, swimming in the pool, lounging in the hot tub and eating and playing games around the dining room table. The bedrooms are very spacious and comfortable, the master bedroom and bathroom are amazing! The bonus nursery/kids room off the master bedroom was a perfect fit for our littles. The house is located right beside the boardwalk and is a short walk to the beach. Coastal Joe was a pleasure to work with and very prompt to answer questions and resolve issues. The first night there everyone decided to make this a yearly event at this location. We have already booked for next year.

Great customer service from the homeowner and rental company.

Two years in a row, hope to make it a third! We love his house and it's location.

It was a beautiful house with beautiful weather. We had an amazing honeymoon/family vacation!!!

We stayed at the sunset traditions home and it was a very nice place to stay. Close proximity to the beach with great views. We had friends in 4 other houses in the neighborhood and ours was the favorite. The hot tub was used every night and the pool table room was a favorite with our kids and their friends as well as the adults. We had a small issue with one of the AC units and it was handled immediently and professionally. We are looking forward to coming back!!!

The house was just as described and the elevator really helped in getting our stuff to the 2nd and 3rd floors. It is a short walk to the beach juast as described. The house was clean and very good condition. The owner e-mailed us to verify we were happy with the house on the 3rd day of our trip. Coastal Joe was super good to work with. The only issue we had was with the wi-fi and the tv's. The wi-fi and tv signal would freeze up repeatedly each day. Called and Coastal Joe sent a repairman the next day and he worked on it for hours and thought it was repaired. 30 minutes after he left it failed again. This was a pretty big issue for a huge football fan in October. This is the only reason I'm giving it a 4 star rating instead of a 5.

simple . IT WAS GREAT

Everything from booking, paying, checking and checkout were smooth and without incident. Coastal Joe has been a pleasure to work with.

We had 7 adults and 2 children stay and there was plenty of space to spread out and relax. We loved spending time in the hot tub and pool and the extra money to have it heated was well worth it since we had some cooler weather. Great beach view and nice short boardwalk to beach. Kitchen is well equipped and spacious. We had a baby with us and were pleasantly surprised to find toys and high chair. The small room off the master bedroom was wonderful for the baby to sleep nearby.

This is our second time staying at Sunset Traditions and we had a great time. The ocean views are fantastic and the house is beautiful and very well maintained. We also thoroughly enjoyed the heated pool! Thanks for sharing your home with us. I'm sure we'll be back.

We rented Sunset Traditions for a "mini" family reunion - there were 13 of us. We had a fantastic week! The house was big enough to fit us comfortably - we could have used another bathroom or two - because of all the females in the house, but with the laid-back lifestyle of Cape San Blas, it was fine! Coastal Joe's was a dream to do business with - from the day we put down our deposit to the day we checked out. We had an issue with the A/C on the second level. They responded writhin an hour of me calling. They even came back the next day to check on it without us contacting them. We cannot wait to come back again!!

Our vacation was for 4 families and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. The house had plenty of space for all the adults and the kiddos. The pool was great! We have a few problems with the air conditioning but couldn't have asked for better service or response from Coastal Joe Vacation Rentals. They handled everything quickly and went above our expectations. We will be back again next year!

Manager's Response

This property exceeded our expectations for beauty, convenience, and quality. We had 13 adults and 4 children (2 under 2 years old) and everyone was comfortable and pleased. Coastal Joe Rentals was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Coastal Joe Rentals and this property to anyone.

We've rented this house in the past and love the layout for our extended family. This year the new owners added tv's to each bedroom, a new queen size bed on the 2nd floor and converted the office to a 5th bedroom with a double bed as well as new decorations throughout the house and we loved it all! We're already rebooked for next year too! Thank you for all the hard work and we look forward to the next stages on the house! And as always, thank you to all at Coastal Joe for going above and beyond for us!! :)

The only draw back that I saw was the TV in the Master Bedroom didnt connect with the cable. I called Monday morning- the tech came out Tuesday but the TV burned out - it shut off and we smelled something hot. Since this happened late Friday, my husband just unplugged it and we told the office when we checked out on Saturday. Overall we had a great time. The house was really nice. Thanks again

We greatly enjoyed the ocean & beach views from the upper floor of the house. the porches were very nice and all our family enjoyed everything about the house. Outside shower was very useful and one of the nicest we have seen. I think that everyone in the family would say this is the nicest house that we have stayed on the Cape.

In July 2014, we had 12 adults and 3 children at Ocasas Belos/Sunset Traditions. The house was lovely, and gorgeous views of the water from the 2nd and 3rd floor decks (which were large and well furnished). The living room space was bigger than it looks in the photos, and the pool was so nice to have. A very short walk to the beach, with the boardwalk directly across from the house. The elevator was nice so we did not have to haul luggage and groceries up stairs (and for us lazy bones who did not want to walk the stairs otherwise). A great house for groups.

Manager's Response

The house was great. Very roomy and beds were extremely comfortable. Having our own pool was great too!

Manager's Response

We were disappointed with many aspects of the vacation home we rented. There was a house being built right next door, of course within feet of the pool. Banging and pounding started at 7am every morning, and the 1 day we tried to use the pool we had construction roofers hanging over our pool in a crane. When we arrived at 2am on Sunday morning there was water dripping through the ceiling in the King bedroom on the 2nd floor (bed & carpet were soaked) apparently the cleaning people did not shut the master bedroom's whirlpool tub's faucet off tightly and it flooded to the 2nd floor (not a great welcome after a 19 hour drive). The 3rd floor air conditioning did not work so on Monday we had a maintenance crew show up at 8am while everyone was asleep to fix the air conditioning (of course access was through the master bath, meaning up and out the door without a shower)They did not finish until 4:00. The wireless internet did not work most of the week, someone came out to try and fix it but it never worked well. The house is a beautiful home but in need of some major love and attention. Very sad to see a gorgeous home so run down. The location of the home is unbeatable, and thankfully we are an outside family so the poor condition of the home did not ruin our trip. The people @ Coastal Joe's were very nice and accommodating, trying to take care of all the issues that came up.

We vacation with two neighborhood families so had 6 adults, 4 teenagers, 4 children and 5 dogs but we didn't feel cramped. The house has a fantastic location and the fenced yard was definitely helpful with the dogs. Our only disappointments were that the wine cooler and ice machine were not working (and seemed to have been that way for a while) and the table and chairs on the 3rd floor deck were literally about to collapse. Hopefully those items will get repaired soon as we are interested in renting Ocasas Belos for spring break next year.

Manager's Response

The location of the house was awesome... right by the boardwalk to the beach and the views were breathtaking. The furnitre was high class and we loved everything about the house! Especially loved the private pool, and our 5 year old really enjoyed the smaller pool/hot tub attached to the regular pool. We loved everything about this house!

Manager's Response

Had a wonderful time, beautiful house needs some repairs and restocking but Coastal Joe and the owner got the house stocked up within 2 days. We were there for a month and it was a great home with perfect sunset views.

Manager's Response

Ocasas Belos is a wonderful vacation home and Cape San Blas is probably the most relaxing place I've ever vacationed. The home was in need of some general upkeep, but was very nice and nothing that made our stay any less desireable. This is definitely a vacation we will do again.

Loved this home! We had 16 adults stay in this house for a week and because of the large, workable kitchen we were able to cook massive meals for all. The refrigerator held such large amounts of food that we were able to bring what we needed and never had to re-stock the fridge at any point in the trip. The large ice maker- a blessing! The top floor patio is so spacious that we were able to bring in additional chairs and tables to have dinner at sunset every night for 16 adults! The views were as spectacular as pictured on the website. Morning coffee on the deck included dolphin watching! Our only disappointment was the wine cooler was not working and there are a few nail pops in the decking that needed hammering. We brought our own dishes to accommodate our crowd and I was glad we did because thee was only service for 14. Other great amenities included the wonderful laundry facilities, both got used, the fire place and abundance of windows and decking-space for all to enjoy! We already discussed how soon we could get back! As we departed we were concerned about our additional trash but one phone call and Coastal Joe said no problem we will handle it! Thank you to the owners of Ocasas Belos and the staff at Coastal Joe.

My family had a wonderful week at this property. Furnishings were lovely. The location ideal. And, all of us wish we were still there. Nice job to the Coastal Joe team. You were a joy to work with.

Loved the size and the space in the house. The house in need of much repair. Broken door, dishwasher, seal on outside door, door filling with water. Hot water faucet on one of the bathroom sinks didn't work and the repairman said they need to replace it. General mold and mildew on the outside of the house. Broken child's picnic table left in the pool area with rusty screws sticking up. No skimmer at the pool to remove all of the bugs, leaves and flower petals. House is for sale so the owner may just be trying to get it sold. Could be a great place with better up keep. I would recommend it, but with reservation.

We recently got married on the property of Ocasas Belos. The house was beautiful and the location was perfect for the event! There were a few things that needed fixing while we there to have the house ready for the reception (outlets, lights, etc) and we needed extra trash cans as well. The staff at Coastal Joe was extremely friendly and eager to help, getting everything fixed in a timely manner. We planned the whole event ourselves and couldn't have gotten it done with the staff at CJ. Thank you so much for all your help! We loved the house and will be returning to Coastal Joe for our future rental needs!

Ocasas Belos is a gorgeous home with all the bells and whistles anyone could want or need for a perfect beach vacation. It is conveniently located just across from the short beach access and has clear views of the ocean and sunsets from all the decks. We reserved this house during the week of our wedding and couldn't have been happier with our choice. Because the reception was held on the beach just of of the beach access, the location of this house was near perfect. The house is spacious and can easily accommodate a large group of family and friends, as it had for us. The many sitting and living areas allow for big gatherings for socializing or getting away to read a book and relax if needed. We definitely recommend this house to anyone wanting to get their family and friends together for a fun and relaxing beach vacation.

We enjoyed staying at Ocasas Belos! The master suite was very conducive to having little ones with the closet doubling for a playroom! The view was great! We would definitely stay again!
