Everything You Need

We were very happy with our recent stay at Cape San Blas and this property is great. Terrific views that make you feel you're right on the beach. It was nice to be in a property that was stocked with everything you need from laundry soap to cooking spices to paper products. Communication throughout the whole process exceeded expectations!

Beautiful and peaceful

We stayed end of Oct. The weather was perfect! This is a beautiful and relaxing vacation. This condo is so lovely and comfortable. The gulf being right at your door with stunning view from both balconies. Enjoyed some hikes in nearby St. Joseph's State Park. Several good restaurants on the Cape with great fresh seafood. Also loved visiting Port St. Joe. I keep coming back to this beautiful place and will continue to do so.

Christmas at the Beach

We had a great time at Walking on Sunshine. Location was perfect with 2 balconies overlooking the beach. We brought our Golden Retriever. If you have any fur kids, Cape San Blas is the place to vacation. We'll be back.
