Private Pool and Gulf View Home

Ocean View Home on Cape San Blas


Dear fellow beach lover,


Are you in search of a truly personal getaway, far away from the crowds and the chaos that often comes with popular beach destinations like Destin or Santa Rosa? If you prefer the tranquility of uncrowded beaches and the freedom to dine without hour-long waits for reservations, then Reel Blessings is the perfect beach location for you.


Step into a world where serenity reigns and the beach is your private sanctuary. Reel Blessings is tucked away in a small, quiet neighborhood, boasting just 7 houses, ensuring that our beach remains untouched and uncrowded. Here, you won't have to jostle for a spot in the sand or contend with throngs of people. It's a haven where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of nature without the distractions of overcrowding.


Our commitment to providing a personal and intimate experience extends beyond the beach. Reel Blessings is a meticulously designed 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home that comfortably sleeps 10, providing ample space for you and your loved ones to create cherished memories. It's the ideal destination for reconnecting with family and friends, where deep conversations and genuine laughter fill the air.


As you open the doors to Reel Blessings, you'll be greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. We've spared no expense in ensuring your comfort, with upgrades that include new memory foam mattresses in the primary bedroom and full-sized bunks for a restful night's sleep. Our commitment to your well-being is further reflected in the new air conditioning unit on the main floor, providing respite from the sun-drenched days.


But it's not just the interior that will captivate you; it's the outdoor spaces that truly make Reel Blessings a haven. Picture yourself lounging on the balcony, gazing out at the Gulf as the soft ocean breeze caresses your skin. Or perhaps you prefer dining al fresco on the balcony overlooking the pool, indulging in leisurely family dinners while the sun sets in a blaze of colors.


At Reel Blessings, we understand that your beach getaway should be free from worries and inconveniences. That's why we provide a private pool, just steps away from your front door. Take a refreshing dip whenever you please, without the need to reserve a crowded spot or navigate through hoards of people. It's your own personal oasis, a place to rejuvenate and relax.


Unlike the bustling beach towns where securing a dinner reservation becomes an hour-long wait, Reel Blessings offers a different experience. Here, you'll find local treasures within walking or biking distance, such as The Trading Post, Peachy's Beach Eats, Scallop Cove, St. Joe Shrimp Company, and Weber's Donut shop for those delightful sweet treats. Indulge in the convenience of exploring these hidden gems without the hassle of long queues or excessive wait times.


Reel Blessings is more than just a rental property; it's a refuge from the crowded beaches and bustling tourist traps. It's a place where you can create your own rhythm, where relaxation and personal connection take center stage.

Perfect Beach Getaway – Clean, Cozy, and Dog-Friendly!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of four, along with our dog, had an amazing stay at Reel Blessings! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed with how clean and well-maintained the house was. The location couldn’t be better – a short walk to the beach and just minutes from stores, making it super convenient for anything we needed.The home itself was cozy and comfortable, with a well-stocked kitchen that had everything we needed to cook meals. The beds were incredibly comfy, making for restful nights after long days in the sun. They even included a leash and ball for our dog. It truly felt like a home away from home!We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, pet-friendly beach retreat. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great House - needs a new management company

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful house and location. The house was not ready at check in time. No communication to let us know that it would not be ready. Had a concern with some of the flooring when we first checked in. A maintenance man showed up unannounced opened our door with two dogs inside. When we discovered that the dishwasher was not working, again another maintenance man showed up unannounced, but did knock this time. He determined that he could not resolve the issue and would probably hear from another person who would come later. We did not hear anything else until a guy showed up with a new dishwasher to install at the same time we were leaving for dinner, three days later. Communication is definitely an opportunity for this company. Again, the house and location were great!

Ideal Beach House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Reel Blessings is a beautiful beachy home. It is nicely decorated with updated furniture and overall fresh look. There are lots of stairs and no main level powder room, in case this is a problem for some. However, lots of stairs also means lots of decks which is perfect for a beach house. It is a newer house in a neighborhood that is currently undergoing new construction so there is a lot of construction mess/trash in the neighborhood and along the private access to the beach. The beach access is super convenient; however, we had to watch for nails on the path as two houses under construction surround the access path and it is a mess. Easy walk from house to a beautiful beach that we came and went from all day. The house currently has a terrific view of the ocean that is breathtaking. This will likely change once other homes are built up in front of it, but for now, it is spectacular with plenty of decks and balconies to choose from. Other than construction mess, the neighborhood is small with pretty beach homes. The home had everything we needed to make Thanksgiving dinner. As others mentioned, it appears the very lower level does not have HVAC so it was chilly down there on cold November nights. This was a minor issue. There is a decent sized pool, but it was too cold to swim in November. Bring your groceries with you as there aren't many options nearby other than the small Piggly Wiggly where it's lone grocer status is reflected in the prices. Lots of local mom and pop shopping and dining options in the area which is a refreshing change. We purchased bagged fresh shrimp from a local seller twice to-go. This is a dog friendly area where most other houses had dogs in them and many dogs on the beach. Overall, we loved our stay at Reel Blessings. We rent beach houses along the panhandle 2-3 times a year, and this is by far our favorite. We would definitely stay here again!

Relax-cation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Home was very clean and comfy. Communication with rental agents was easy, being available to text with them was great. I would rent this home again. I especially loved the personal touches, like candles thru the home you could burn (it's a girl thing!) Beach is lovely, very fine sugar sand and semi-private during our early May stay. The people we met were all friendly and we enjoyed our interactions with them. Some days(late in the evening) we were the only ones on the entire beach. Our pup loved the trip too, everyone was welcoming to him around the neighborhood/beach.

Family vacation

The house was beautiful and very comfortable. We loved the pool and the close proximity to the beach. The views are amazing. We absolutely loved all the decks and outdoor seating that was available. Other than some minor maintenance issues (broken towel racks, unstable dining table, loose fence spindles, smelly washing machine) and extremely minor housekeeping oversights (dirty guest shower and floors not swept well) it was PERFECT for our large family. Everyone had their own space to escape to. It felt like home. We will definitely stay here again and would recommend it to friends. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we had a nice stay. The location is great both to the beach, to town, to stores, etc. Here are a few suggestions: There are multiple loose spindles on the decks. Most were on the lower street side. My 2 year old is the one who found them. Once we noticed them, we chose not to allow her on the deck. They are secured using pneumatic trim nails. It is quite dangerous. Cleanliness was an issue. The home looked spot cleaned but could use a deep cleaning. I highly recommend purchasing a nice vacuum cleaner to leave for guests to use. There is a small vacuum for hardfloors but a vacuum is needed for the rugs. Sheets were clean but comfortors and blankets were dirty and had dog hair on them. We have stayed at Good Times II home last year and the place was spotless.

So close to the beach!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved our first stay in the Cape with this house! And we have been back since! We loved how close the house was to the beach and was one of few houses on the quiet road. We were warned of lack of cell signal and wifi, but it is essentially non-existent. We were confused why there were so many smart TVs when the wifi rarely worked. So don't plan to try and work like my husband was planning to! Outside of the lack of tech access, it was a relaxing tip and made us fall in love with the Cape and Port St. Joe. The private pool was the cherry on top! We loved the ability to rent beach gear through the booking of the home too. So handy! We highly recommend doing a fishing charter too! LOVED!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely loved Reel Blessings! Have been staying in SGI and Cape San Blas for the past 20 years. Probably stayed in 15 different houses. Probably the best house we have staying in terms of finishings and well maintained. Loved the setting. Great spot on the beach! Pool was so great to have. Everything was very very clean (which we don’t take for granted at the beach with all the sand). Also well stocked kitchen (probably best we have ever stayed in) which we greatly appreciate because we cook all of our meals almost.

Cape San Blas Magic

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our 2 weeks in March were a great break from what has been a cold winter. Reel Blessing's willingness to accept dogs is a differentiator, allowing us to travel with our 3 no-shed Portuguese Water Dogs. All 16-legs enjoyed long beach walks, fun, sand, water! The layout of the house was perfect in that we could lounge by the pool, the dogs were able to stay out of the sun, cool, in the lower room beside the pool deck (with no access to the rest of the house). Cap San Blas itself was made for such quiet holiday. We would welcome a pool heater. Arrival March 18 was to a cool pool; a heater, guest paid use, would make Reel Blessings perfect!
