Pottery Barn Review

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: We had a great time with our family of 11 at Pottery Barn. The house is in a great location with just a short walk to the beach, we had plenty of room, and we really had no complaints! We would definitely stay in this house again.

Great Stay!

Loved the property. Great location, convenient to beach, pool, state park, Trading Post and bike trail. We stayed at the home 5 years ago and this time we brought friends. The kitchen was well equipped as we ate in, every evening. Only improvement we could see would be some sun shades for the kitchen/dining room. The late evening sun at dinner around the table was blinding. Would not prevent us from staying again, though.

Our best experience

This was the best experience we have had in more than ten years. Clean, spacious. Great view. We called about a few issues (leftover from previous rentals) and they took care of them promptly. This is a great alternative to the crowds in the destin area. Rules seemed strict at first because they are trying to protect their investment. No problems with any interaction.

Girls weekend

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: Pottery Barn was perfect for our girls weekend. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The house was well stocked, clean, and nicely furnished. The outdoor space was great for drinking coffee in the mornings. The walk to the beach was easy. The only complaint is that we had to come home. I love Cape San Blas and Coastal Joe. I will be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing, short trip to Cape San Blas. It was our first time to the area. Coastal Joe was wonderful to deal with. Britney helped me and answered all of my questions promptly. The house was beautiful and very well located to the community pool (we were the only ones that used it during our stay I believe). The beach was just a short walk as well. We had plenty of room and all we needed at the house. Will definitely stay there again.

Enjoyed our stay but.......

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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay but there were small roaches In the kitchen cabinets and in the dishwasher. We did notify you upon checkout so hopefully that has been taken care of! Other than that we had a great time. The bathroom on the main floor is very small considering it is being shared with the bunk room and another bedroom.

A Lot Of Frogs

For as many members of my family that went, it accommodated us well. However, we were unable to use one of the beds because of what looked like a brown stain on one of the mattresses (we were very cautious about that one). There were also quite a few frogs at night time attached to the house, so that was unexpected. Just be wary that there will be a lot of frogs greeting you once the sun starts to set. Overall, we love the location (Cape San Blas), but we will probably not be staying at this property in the future.

Best Vacay Ever

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: Our family stayed in Cape San Blas in the beautiful pottery barn home. From the moment we arrived we were in awe of the location and well upkeep of the house. It was clean and newly remodeled. Our family felt very comfortable , including our golden doodle. The beach was a short walking distance and my kids loved being close to the community pool! We also loved that when we booked the home we got a 250$ credit towards beach gear, which was there when we arrived. The property management team was very kind and always helpful when we called with questions. We will def be back and rent again with Coastal Joe’s. We fell in love with the beauty of CSB and we are looking forward to our next trip!

Hello Sunshine

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: The entire process was easy. The home was beautiful, clean and just as expected from pictures. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything we needed to prepare large family meals. There were more items than expected for our use in the garage - kayak, corn hole, cooler, beach cart, boogie boards all enhanced our stay. The layout with the separate living unit worked perfectly for our group. Highly recommend this property. Our girls loved being next to the community pool and had the pool area to themselves for laying out, listening to music and playing volleyball in the pool. Love the beach just a short walk down the boardwalk right next to the house. We'll be back, but maybe beach front next time.

Wonderful "Hurrication"

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here in Mid September and caught the edge of Hurricane Sally. That said, we had two really great beach days on the front end and back end. This was a unique experience and was still a great vacation! The beach is absolutely amazing and this whole area is quite unpolulated. No hotels. No condos. Just houses. Absolutely no traffic and wide open beaches. The house was really nice and when we had some issues from leaks from the hurricane, they were fixed immediately. Coastal Joe's was VERY responsive. Would recommend some maintenance work and better cable and wifi. It did do out more than expected. Will definitely come back!

Pottery Barn with friends

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I love Cape San Blas and Seagrass Subdivision. Coastal Joe Vacations is the best to work with too! The VayK $250 credit we used for a kayak and then added a stand up paddle board was fantastic. A strap brike on one of the kayak carrying straps andthey quickly came and traded it out...even retrieved the old one from the beach—-those guys are strong! Pottery Barn needed a little TLC but Coastal Joe and the owners were very attentive to any items I broughtt to their attention. Hurricane Michael has probably created more woes. My heart goes out to the Cape and her loss of roads and othe amenities. Also the newly formed islands in the state park will be an interesting challenge for all to overcome. We love this beautiful place and enjoyed our stay.

Great location but the house needs a lot of things fixed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second time staying at this property. Issues from last year were still issues this year. The bathroom on the main floor has a hard time flushing. Paint falling off. Had a hard time opening and locking doors the entire time. The bed in the Master is very bad and not comfortable at all. Dryer takes three times to dry a load of laundry. The rental company was great but the owners of the home don't spend any money on the home or repairs.

February Beach Vacation 2024

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, it’s a lovely home. Our destinated house was no longer available due to water damage so we found this literally two days before we arrived! The top master suite bed sheets had not been changed, attention to cleanliness was missing. Living room furniture needs to be replaced as it is dirty & the main couch is almost impossible to sit on comfortably. The kitchen is amazing but the dining room chairs are horrible... not comfortable and every move you make “sounds” horrible!Kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The views of the sunset amazing; the porches excellent! Beach nessesities plentiful! Distance to beach perfect; neighborhood lovely! Appliances very nice. Main bathroom lighting is dark. We had to buy better bulbs. Bunkbed sheets a nightmare to change!

Like stepping inside an episode of "Planet Earth"

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: Being at Cape San Blas was like starring in an episode of "Planet Earth". From one of the many decks on "Seaglass" you can watch and listen to some very interesting birds. With the wave crashing and the birds singing you could not help but relax. We stayed in "Seaglass" with 4 adults and 5 children and we never seemed to get in each other's way. The "in-law" suite is like a totally separate unit. Of course, we all managed to be in the kitchen playing games and visiting most of the time we were in the house. The rest of the time we were enjoying all Cape San Blas has to offer. Don't miss St. Joseph State Park (minutes from the house) the most incredible beach, dunes, shells - the bay with starfish, seahorses and knee deep water forever - and The Lighthouse with its gigantic shells and crashing waves. I compare Cape San Blas to a less populated Sanibel Island which at Spring Break is a welcome surprise. The house was beautiful and everything the rental information said it would be. I am very picky and vacation as often as possible and I give "Seaglass" and Cape San Blas a thumbs up!

Great house, bad rental agency.

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: My wife and I stayed at the Seaglass house on our honeymoon. Everything was wonderful, except for an issue caused by Coastal Joe management on the day we arrived. My uncle and aunt went through a lot of time and expense to put together a large welcome basket for my wife and I since we were arriving late at the house. We got in around 10pm and we did not have any food or drinks in anticipation of my Aunt's basket. The rental agent was supposed to leave the basket in our house the night we arrived. Not only did that person wait until the following morning to drop it off, but then dropped it off at the wrong house. We never saw our basket. This was extremely disappointing to my wife and I and especially to my aunt and uncle. Hopefully, better management will prevent something like this from upsetting future vacationers that visit Coastal Joe properties.

Great Place, For a Day

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: Unfortunately we came daown as Idalia was developing from a small tropical storm into the hurricane it became so we were evacuated after 1 1/2 days. The place was beautiful though and we would definitely rent it again. (I don’t want to skew the owner’s results or quality of the place for less than all 5 stars, they had no control over what happened). Cheers!
