Spring break

We had a great stay at Sandy Paws. This is our 2nd spring break staying at this house. Great fenced in yard for the dogs. Nice neighborhood for a walk. Short ride to the beautiful state park. Fully stocked kitchen for cooking meals in. Comfy recliners to relax for movie night after all day on the beach. Comfortable beds.

Family vacation with our dogs

We enjoyed Sandy Paws and the spacious home with large comfortable beds for 2 sisters and our 3 young adult children. We also brought our 2 small dogs and we all enjoyed the beach. Very close walk to the gulf and beach access. The sunsets are gorgeous. 2nd trip to CSB and we just love this peaceful paradise!

Plenty of room for the entire family and perfect fenced area for pets. Beds were extremely comfortable which is a huge plus. House was equipped with everything that we needed and conveniently located to the General Store for any other supplies.

We loved our stay! The house was very relaxing and a short walk to the beach. Our fur babies had just as much fun as we did. I love that the town is so pet friendly. Best vacation we have had!

What a trip!

We had great communication by the owners and they gave us great information while staying there. We were so happy to see all the beach gear that we could use while were down there. We were perfect proximity to everything. There is even a great restaurant at the end of the street. You could walk or drive the golf cart. The kitchen is fully stocked with plently pots and pans and dishes.

Oh boy, what a great vacation!

Sandy Paws was in an awesome location, was as described (but even better!), and had everything we needed for a great beach vacation! The layout of the 3-story house was perfect. We could all gather together, but we had privacy when needed, too. Adults, children, and dogs enjoyed fun-filled days and quiet, peaceful sleeps on comfy beds at night. Oh boy, what a great vacation!

Beautiful Escape

We had an incredible time at Sandy Paws. The house was fabulously comfortable, airy, with the most amazing light all through the day. It was close to the beach and also very close to the State Park which is an awesome bike ride. Our dogs had a fabulous time and really enjoyed every minute. We are so grateful to have found this rental property!

Great beach - beautiful sunsets

Great beach property. Beautiful sunsets. Property is perfect for a large group. Golf cart is a nice asset to travel to the public beach access, which is a few blocks away. Screened in porch is a perk. Andy and Travis, owners, are quick to respond if there are questions or concerns.

Sandy Paws 🐾 Pawfect!!

This was a return visit to Sandy Paws for my sister and me. The location, with the fenced in yard and the short walk to the beach is perfect for the two of us and our dogs! We especially enjoy afternoons sitting on the sunny deck while the dogs sun themselves. The owners are very responsive to any of our requests. We will be returning again next year for our extended stay.

Family vacation

Check-in was seamless....received an email stating House was ready earlier than expected. We ate all but 2 meals at the house and the few things we forgot, they had provided. We had a wonderful time and our 15 year old grandson loved the basement area! Thank you for sharing your home, especially through these uncertain times.

Loved it!

What a great place! 7 of us and 2 dogs stayed three nights and had a great time! Plenty of room for everyone and a close walk to the beach. The golf car was very helpful and fun to drive. The only negative thing I could say was the noise. On the left side a new house is being built and on the right side the road was paved. We didn't spend much time at the house during the day so it wasn't really an issue. We would definitely stay there again!!!

Amazing!

The house was fantastic. We plan to come again as soon as we can. We know to bring a lot less stuff though. The house was well stocked and had things that most rental properties don't. Our three dogs loved the yard but be careful of those little prickly things! One dog seemed to be a magnet for them. The water was incredibly calm and the beach was deserted. I have already recommended this place to friends!

Florida family

For 4 days we were there at this unit, it had a lot of outdoor toys and kayaks, bikes , ect. But there were no information on where to go, regulations on where to fish, legal amount of crab, fish, scallops ect. We had to find out ourselves. The map needs to be updated with the PRIVATE GATES that I hope we were allowed to go threw. All in all a great trip and will be back.

Great House!

My husband and I took our 3 kids ages, 12,16,18, along with my mom and 2 dogs for a week at Sandy Paws. You just can’t beat this house. If you’re not a fan of bunk beds and comfort is key, this is the house! Every bed was extremely comfortable and queen or king size. Our older boys stayed on lower level, husband and I and our daughter on 2nd level and my mom on the main level. The most perfect layout for us! There was a game room/extra tv room on lower level and huge laundry room. Super fun and plenty of room to spread out! Beach is close to walk or drive and park if carrying a lot. State park is amazing. We spent a lot of time exploring there. Nothing bad to say about this rental. House had everything we needed. Enjoyed our stay so much! Thanks to the hosts for providing an awesome renting experience!

Wonderful Extended Christmas Stay at Sandy Paws!

Maury and Emma were very responsive to our pre-trip questions. The kitchen was well outfitted and even had a crockpot. We cooked all of our own meals except a couple of trips to the donut shop(get there early). The internet speed was great, we had 4 people (3 working - 1 schooling) and had no problems. The house was huge with three stories with 4 large bedrooms, 2 common areas, a wrap around porch and plenty of storage space. We enjoyed the game room and the the kayaks, and the nearby pickleball courts. We had the opportunity to meet Maury and Emma and found them to be warm, thoughtful and helpful in giving us ideas of things to do around the area. Our dog loved running the beach and playing with the neighbor's dog Buddy. Next time we are in Cape San Blas we will definitely stay at Sandy Paws again.

They thought of everything!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week on Cape San Blas thanks to the awesome owners of Sandy Paws. This was our first year to bring our dogs, our only regret was that we didn't decide to do it sooner. The entire house and yard has been tailored for pet lovers. The house itself was one of the best stocked rental homes we have ever encountered. We felt like we were staying at a friend's home. The beds were comfortable for each person even though some usually prefer more firm or softer mattresses. The kitchen had everything we required. Having all the toys at our disposal was great. We got a lot of use out of the bikes and golf cart. The owners were very fast to respond when we had a concern or a question. They are just nice people.

All the comforts of home

Our family of 5, along with our dog, stayed for the month of January. It was our first time ever going to the beach in the winter and also our longest stay ever. Everything we needed (and more) was on the property. Even though the beach is only a short 5 minute walk, it was quite nice to have the option of taking the golf cart or bicycles. The accommodations were perfect for our dog -- a crate/kennel, the fenced in yard, food and water bowls. We found everything we needed as well. The kitchen is well stocked, the furniture is comfortable, and the location is great. If you don't want to drive back into Port St. Joe to the large grocery store, Cape Trading Post is only 2.5 miles away and has lots of grocery items. It was worth paying a little extra to save so much time. Murray and Emma were very accommodating and made sure we had all that we needed. I would stay here again!

New Years Family gathering

There were 8 adults and a teen. We liked that there were distinctly 5 rooms with 5 adult sized beds and that the listing correctly identified the beds as 3 kings and 2 queens. It was wonderful to be able to bring our pets and the fenced in yard was great for letting them sit on the porch. The kitchen had adequate utensils. The golf cart being available was a nice touch- it was too cold to get in the ocean but there were plenty of chairs and boogie boards etc available to use. The only issue we had - and this was a fault of our own- is that we did not expect there to not be a pull out couch or a cot or something you might use for a child. Our ‘teen’ had to sleep in the bed with another young adult and he was not happy- next time we’ll bring an air mattress! There is also a small den in the basement with air hockey and a tv for our teenage boy to be entertained and that was helpful. Andy and Travis were very communicative and overall we didn’t have any issues. The house was very clean and we found the beds to be quite comfortable for a rental house. There were extra blankets and things in the closets also.
