Loved the house and being close to St. Joe. Didn't like the vehicles and dogs on the beach.This is the best house we've ever stayed in. Clean, well kept, easy access, had all the little things we needed.
What a great location! No fighting crowds or noisy neighbors. Just a great a spot to have some quality time with our family of four and the ability to walk out the door directly into the beach!We will be back!
Had a wonderful stay. House was very clean and well equipped. Enjoyed the quiet street and beach. Conveniently located near Port St. Joe and Indian Pass Raw Bar.
Such a nice home right on a beautiful beach! Nicely furnished and great balcony/view of the white sand and green water. Family really enjoyed our time here. Will be back next year!
Our family of three thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cabana del Sol. It's a quick drive onto Cape San Blas and into Port St. Joe. We appreciated the amenities provided at the house - beach towels, beach chairs, and more household supplies than we're used to for beach rentals. We'll definitely be back!

Cabana Del Sol
Love this property and its location. By next vacation I hope the owners have restored the walkway across the dunes and added a Keurig. Bobbie Gould
We enjoyed your house on the beach at Cabana Del Sol. The house was clean and it was just perfect for my wife and I. We used the kitchen and enjoyed the chairs on the back deck.
Thanks for keeping such a clean place.

The house is perfect for two couples. Two bedrooms and baths separated by a large living area. The beach is literally right out the door! And it has never been crowded since there are only homes - no condos or hotels. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful. Don’t know how it could be better!

Very Good
Property was great and so was veiw but the water quality was really bad because of creek outflow. Nothing can can fix that so we had a great day at the beach at the state park on Cape San Blas
The house was beautiful and clean. The kitchen was amazing. The bathrooms were also incredible. The only issue that we had was the AC just could not keep up during the day. But luckily we were not in the house during the dayand it cooled off during the night. So overall everything was wonderful.

Won't be back
Home was great, clean and inviting. Neutral , low rating due to beach water was almost black every day due to a river that was flowing into the ocean every day. We love playing in the water and it felt like you were swimming in an oil slick. We had to kayak a mile down shore just to play in clean water. So we will not be back.
My husband and I enjoyed our gateway so much. The house is beautiful and we loved the location. I do have a few suggestions. I would have loved to have had a King size bed in the master. My husband did sleep on the couch a couple of nights, just because it was a little more comfortable. I would also suggest maybe updating some of the kitchen cookware. Other than that I would highly recommend and stay again. Thanks again!

Great location and great beach house!
This little beach house (2 bedrooms) was perfect for my wife and I and 2 friends to spend a relaxing week on the Gulf. The house has a great layout, was super clean, the beds were comfortable, and had everything we needed. We spent as much time on the deck and screened in porches (each bedroom has its own screened porch) as we did on the beach. The views from there of the water were almost like being on the sand. The landscaping is also very well done, the palm trees around the house add a nice sense of privacy. You can tell the owners of this property really care about the place. The updates they've made are super nice, not the low grade stuff you usually see in rentals. And as I've already said, the place was really clean - kudos to the cleaning crew. Oh, and there's plenty of beach equipment provided, 5 nice beach chairs, lots of toys for kids, a decent charcoal grill, etc. The beach is also great at this location. Not crowded at all (no high rise condos anywhere in sight). The only improvements we'd suggest: the kitchen needs more than one hand towel (we used a LOT of paper towels as a result), we had to wash silverware frequently (wasn't quite enough for 4 adults, or maybe we just used a lot of silverware), no shampoo is provided (so bring your own), you'll also want to bring toilet paper/paper towels (but that's typical for rentals). We'd definitely stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, communication
Highly Recommended
First, the pictures of the house do not do it justice. I suggest some better marketing of the pictures. While the home has some nice upgrades and needs more, it is hard to find a house for three people. This house was the perfect size, and the location is perfect. The beach is 100 yards from the house, and we had our own private beach for the week.
We struggle upon arrival as the code they gave us did not work. We called (and texted as directed) the managing company but did not here back for about an hour. This was a tough start as we had to just sit in our car waiting for a call or text. Furthermore, we would have thought that someone would have checked on us throughout the week.
While the air conditioner worked well in the main room, the two bedrooms would not cool as we liked them. We did find some fans which was helpful. This needs to be looked at.
We will come back as we love this location. Thank you.

Absolutely Perfect
My husband and I spent a week here for our anniversary. Every detail of the home was perfect. The home and the porches were very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The location was sooo close to the beach. Step off the back deck and into the beach sand. Sunrises and sunsets were beautiful right from the deck chairs. We would pick this place again and again! 10 stars !!!!!
We very much enjoyed our stay here. Everything was exactly as described, Wonderful location. Convenient to shopping, dining and other places to visit. We''d definitely stay here again.
We had a great time at this location. It was perfect for a family of 4. It was semi-secluded and right next to the beach. My only recommendation would be to upgrade the master bed to a queen or king bed. I think it was a full, and although we managed, a larger bed would’ve made it perfect.
Renting and check-in very easy. The property was extremely clean and well furnished. Love the deck and screen porches. Easy access to the beach just out front!
