The home was exceptionally clean with lots of towels for our use. The beach was a very short walk away and the neighborhood was quiet and nice for walking our pups. Communication was timely and had the most useful info. I would love to return.

Loved our stay. This area is our happy place. Love the relaxed, chill vibe & really like that we can bring our furry babies with us.The location & space itself is wonderful. The water either a bit more west or on cape san blas is a little nicer IMO.Altho we love a beach cottagey home, this one could use a little more updating. I would say a new mattress, new cushions for outdoor sectional & painting the kitchen cabinets would go a long way.Overall, really enjoyed our stay. Thank you

The house is so cozy but maintains that old Florida beach house feeling. Plenty of room to relax and the screened porch was perfect for coffee and watching the waves at the same time.

Fantastic Rental

Our host was fantastic! We had a small issue with the door, got in touch with Kevin (our host), he responded immediately. The location is great, so close to the beach, the rental is beautiful. Loved that we were able to take our fur boy with us. We took Kevin's recommendations on restaurants and food trucks in the area and they were all delicious. Beautiful, quiet, friendly neighborhood. We will be returning to the "Nest". Thanks so much, Kevin!

The Nest is the best!

Our 53 day stay was amazing. We were a block away from the Gulf. We could see sunset on our screened in porch. The house itself was bright and sunny! We cook at home more than go out, and every thing we needed to do that was there. When we had a question, Kevin was on top of it, planning to return!

Perfect cozy beach house!

We loved our stay at The Nest! Kevin was super responsive before and during our stay with any questions or needs that came up, and went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. The location couldn't have been better -- so easy to go back and forth to the super close beach access. The house was cozy but plenty spacious for our family of five. The ice maker was a small addition that made a big impact in ease of packing up for the beach and never running out of ice! It was also great to have use of the beach wagon, chairs, and toys, as we didn't have to bring our bulky cart with us. Best of all, this was our first pet-friendly stay, and it was so great having our pup with us! One note: doors are all slatted (including bathroom doors), I'm assuming to help with air circulation. This was not a problem for us, but could be an issue for anyone needing more privacy. Overall would definitely recommend and would love to stay again!

The house was clean and comfortable, well stocked with what one would have in his home. The property manager was very responsive to an AC problem, and I was particularly impressed with the icemaker. It save me the task of running for ice each day to keep my oysters happy.
