Beach Camp

My husband, three daughters and their families stayed at the Cape San Blas Beach Camp house in June 2021. We had a great time and enjoyed the house immensely! There were 8 adults and 3 children (one 11 month old). The house was beautiful. We loved the reclaimed wood and repurposed items used to decorate the home. The main floor was spacious with a dining table that comfortably fit all of the group at meals. There was lots of room to prepare meals and not feel crowded. The bedroom with the bunk beds was great for our 10 and 15 year old grandchildren. Each bunk bed had a personal light and outlet that allowed both of the kids to use their digital devices and keep them charged!! The house had a pack and play and a high chair for the baby. That really helped with the packing for the trip!! The adults loved the size and comfort of their respective bedrooms, bathrooms and the great views. There were balconies with plenty of seating on both sides of the house. That meant we could enjoy the sun rise over the bay and the sunset over the Gulf each day. The elevator in the house also made it easy to bring in groceries and suit cases with little to no effort!! The house was secluded so we enjoyed our privacy at our own pool. The group alternated between living in our pool or at the beautiful Cape San Blas beach!! The Cape San Blas beach is absolutely beautiful and goes on forever. We enjoyed our morning walks on the beach and camp fires on the beach each evening.!! After leaving the beach each evening we lighted a fire in the Beach Camp fire pit and made smores!! Everyone thought they had died and gone to heaven!! The house was located close to the Trading Post, Weber’s Donuts and the local ice cream shop. We could easily walk to these shops and back to Beach Camp in 10 minutes. So, the grandchildren were able to get their daily ice cream or shakes (The adults did too!!). The Beach Camp was also a short distance to the Port St Joe Peninsula Park. So we were able to rent a pontoon boat for the afternoon and had a great time boating in the bay. Carrie Shevlin was great at answering all of our questions about Beach Camp prior to our arrival. She also followed up with us on the day of are arrival and made herself available to us throughout our stay if we had any questions or needs. She could not have been more helpful. The group are already asking when we can go back to Cape San Blas and the Beach Camp house!! My family would highly recommend Beach Camp to families that want a great beach house on a beautiful beach!!

Carol, It soulds like your family took advantage of all the wonderful things Cape San Blas has to offer. What more do you need when you have ice cream, smores and donuts on vacation? :). I am so happy that you made Beach Camp your home base and that you enjoyed your time there. I look forward to welcoming you all back again soon. Carrie

Our family of 9 were multi-generations: grandparents, parents, and four teenagers ranging from 14 to 19. This house accommodated all of our needs. The five bedrooms provided perfect sleeping arrangements for our group. The kitchen was well equipped for any type of cooking and food preparation. The house is beautiful and one of the best beach rentals that our family has ever stayed in. It was nice having the pool to relax in after a day of either fishing, paddle boarding and kayaking, or being at the beach. The fire pit was a nice added touch in the evening. And, most of all, the shuffleboard table provided a great deal of fun for all of us. The kitchen/family room was perfect at meal time and just sitting around together. Carrie is an excellent communicator and makes you feel like you are a special guest in her own home. We hope to return in 2022.

Susan, I am so happy to hear that you family enjoyed staying at Beach Camp. Your multi-generational family was exactly what we envisioned staying there when we designed the home. I love that you enjoyed the shuffleboard table too. A lot of love went into making that for our guests. Thanks for choosing to stay at Beach Camp and I hope to welcome you back in 2022. Carrie

Beach Camp was perfect for our family of 12. It had an elevator which was so helpful. We had an inground salt-water pool where we congregated in the afternoons and at night. : Everything here was near perfect. The location of Beach Camp is close to several restaurants and Port St. Joe. There is a 22 ft. long shuffleboard that provided many hours of fun for everyone. The kitchen is well-stocked with all the pots, pans, etc. we needed to prepare our meals. It is centrally located between St. Joseph’s Bay and the Gulf. It is also located close to several restaurants, boutiques, souvenir shops, and the local ice cream shop. It’s a quick trip to Port St. Joe or Appalachicola. There were plenty of chairs, umbrellas and beach towels provided for us. The beach is a quick 3-5 minute walk away. All in all, it was one of the most relaxing and comfortable vacations we have had. Thank you so much!

Retha, I'm so happy that Beach Camp worked out pefrectly for you and your family. That shuffleboard table is a lot of fun!! Thank you so much for choosing to stay at Beach Camp and I look forward to welcoming you back in 2022! Carrie

Beach House is a perfect rental for large groups. We had 10 adults and it had more than enough room for everyone. The house is set up with EVERYTHING! We have stayed at numerous rentals on Cape San Blas over the past 20 years and this was by far the greatest time we have had in a rental. Carrie and her team were attentive and very accommodating in every step, from booking through checkout. Make sure you book early, this place fills up fast and it is because they thought of everything in the house.

Michael, Thank you so much for your kind words about Beach Camp. I was thrilled to welcome you and your family and am so happy to hear that you had a great time. Hannah is now a certified elevator assistant. :). Thank you so much for choosing to stay at Beach Camp. I hope that you will come back and stay with us again soon. Carrie

We stayed at Beach Camp with our family of 12 the week of Memorial Day and it was wonderful! Clean, well equipped and great location. This is our second year in a Cape San Blas Getaway house. You can’t go wrong booking with them!

Valerie, I so appreciate your family returing to Beach Camp again this year. Over 50% of my guests are repeat guests and that number continues to grow! I happy you had a great vacation and look forward to your family being one of the first that I welcome to Good Fortune 2.0 in July 2022. Carrie

Beach Camp is a a fantastic home in a great location! The views of both the marsh (sunrise) & the beach (sunset view) were perfect. Since the house isn't right on the beach there is more privacy but it's a quick & easy 5 min walk to get there. The house had plenty of space for our group, is beautifully decorated, very well maintained & has a good layout. Carrie was great to work with too. We had one minor issue which Carrie responded to & resolved right away. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed walking to the beach in the morning to play, going back to the house for lunch & then swimming in the private pool all afternoon. There is plenty to do in the house if you have a rainy day. The shuffleboard was a favorite for everyone!

Alyssa, Thank you for choosing to stay at Beach Camp. I love the sunrise and sunset views too. I'm glad the home worked out well for your group. I hope to welcome you back to Beach Camp again soon.

Beach Camp was the perfect location for our group to enjoy a getaway after the stressful year. It was perfectly stocked with everything we needed. Our group especially enjoyed the pool and the quiet calm of the beach. This was our second trip to Beach Camp and it was easy to choose to return. Thank you to Carrie for an amazing home to vacation.

Kristin, It makes me so happy when first time guests become repeat guests. Thank you for choosing to stay at Beach Camp again. I look forward to welcoming you back once again soon. Carrie

We had a wonderful month at Beach Camp. We especially enjoyed the shuffleboard table and the pool area. Carrie’s houses are by far the best maintained and most well stocked vacation homes we have ever rented. We definitely hope to go back!

Carol and Randy, I was so excited to welcome you back to one of my homes this year. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the shuffleboard and the pool area at Beach Camp. I have a great team that works hard to keep our homes well maintained and fully stocked. I will be sure to share your wonderful feedback with them. Thank you for your kind words. I hope to welcome you back to Cape San Blas again soon. Carrie
