Lovely home with great view and proximity to beach. Appreciate that we were able to enjoy vacation with our fur babies. The screened porch was a pleasant plus.
Clean home with beach supplies. Beautiful beach views with short boardwalk to beach. Quite neighborhood.

Reviewer Comments:
My family thoroughly enjoyed our time at Sandy Acres! The cottage was well-stocked, especially the kitchen, and we enjoyed the screened-in porch. The fishing was great and the beach was not crowded at all.
The home was modern, clean and well-stocked. Even though it was a 2d tier home, there were decent ocean/beach views from the large screened front balcony (for as long as another lot remains vacant). Beach access is directly across the street.
We love vacationing at Cape San Blas and Indian Pass. It is so nice to be able to take our dogs to the beach, have campfires on the beach, and have the beach nearly to ourselves. We have stayed in many different beach houses in the area, some on the beach and a few second tier houses. This house was not directly on the beach, but there is still a beach view and a boardwalk to the beach right in front of the house. It was very easy and short walk out to the beach. The house was pet friendly and had everything we needed. There were some beach supplies, books to read, and games in the house to keep everyone entertained. Our group of six enjoyed our stay very much.

Reviewer Comments:
This is the second year in a row we have stayed at Sandy Acres for the week of the 4th of July. Like all the beach front homes prepare to climb stairs. This house is comfortable and well stocked. We had no complaints with the AC keeping up which was a great relief from the heat of the day. We love the close proximity to the beach and wide drive and covered parking for the boat. This home is in need of some TLC and general maintenance. It is advertised as a 3 BATH. I specifically called and asked about this before renting and was told there was an extra bath on ground level for use which in fact was not available. Like many places on the cape there is construction right next door which I was also told had been completed. Overall we enjoyed this home and location. Thank you for sharing your home.

another blissful 2 weeks on Indian Pass, this was our second time at Sandy Acres and both times were delightful. Can't think of a single thing to complain about except that time passes too quickly there.

Reviewer Comments:
Our family loved staying in this house. It was great for separate families. The upstairs was prefect For my family with small kids. It was an easy short walk to a wonderful quiet beach. The only issue is that there was a lot of construction next door and across the street. This put a damper on our use of the beautiful screened in porch due to a ton of noise starting at 7:30 Am until 6 PM. When in the house the construction noise was not bothersome. I would definitely book with Be our Guest again as well as book this house in the future given the construction is completed.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a great time at Sandy Acres. The house was exceptionally clean and well kept. After staying in the CSB/IP area for several years the short trip to the beach was very welcomed. If you need extra parking, this house has it. The kitchen was stocked better than any house we've ever rented and the Weber grill worked flawlessly. A bathroom in the lower was a great idea as was the outdoor shower. I will mention 2 items that renters from 8/2023 on and for possibly the next year need to be aware of: First, they began construction on the lot next to Sandy Acres during our stay and drove in 16 pilings. There's only 15 pilings, but they had to do one twice. I'd guess there will be construction going on there for the next year. Second, during our stay a Florida Cottonmouth took up residence in a bush next to the driveway. I only mention this as a concern if you have pets. Unfortunately this snake moved to the neighbors garage and was dispatched.Overall, loved the house and area would love to stay there next time!
Great property and just as described! Proximity to the beach was awesome and the boardwalk was literally steps from the driveway!! We loved the area of Port St. Joe, Indian Pass and Cape San Blas and can't wait to visit again. We will definitely be back to this property!!
Our stay was fantastic. Donna and team are wonderful hosts and very quick to respond to any messages prior to arrival. The house was clean, had ample space and a great view of the ocean from the screened in balcony. We would definitely look at renting this property again in the future!
Sandy acres did not disappoint. We were close to the beach, maybe 2ish min walk. The porch was my favorite feature. The view is priceless! Make sure your party is prepared for the steps. We got our workout in daily.
Beautiful property - literally a 2 minute walk to the beach - kitchen well stocked - great views of ocean - perfect screened in porch - looking forward to booking this property again later this year.
We enjoyed our stay . We spent the days walking on the beach, riding bikes, paddling our kayaks and sitting on the porch reading. And watching the ocean skies. The kitchen was perfect for our meal prep and we all love to cook. A short walk over to the Indian Pass Raw Bar was always a treat. Easy to stay
Busy or stay lazy. Loved the stay!!

Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location
Check-in was not great, we were given the wrong lock code, so could not get in, and couldn’t contact the host because there was no cell service. A few things were either mis- represented or not as shown in the listing, including the slip covers on the leather sofas, and there were no white chairs as shown in the downstairs area. Also, the shower curtain in the bathroom was so short that it was hard to keep the water from running out onto the floor. No other major concerns.
This was our first trip to the area and we loved our visit! The private beach, with the closest neighbor being 500 yards away, was a huge draw. We usually go to 30A, and rows of beach chairs are three deep. It was fun to fish on the beach too! The house was so well stocked with everything we could need, including spices. Loved the screen porch- especially watching storms come up. Great place!
The only complaints we had were: squeaky stairs, keurig didn’t work (neither did the replacement), and no extra blankets. If it sleeps 10 there needs to be bedding for the extra beds. The kitchen was stocked okay, but could use some better utinsils.
Fantastic house! Great set up , well stocked, excellent location. Out of 6 years in the area, this has been our favorite house. Management was excellent and easy to get a hold of. Only complaint, advertised a double futon in the loft and there was nothing there to sleep on. Left us one bed short. Luckily the kids are little and pallets on the floor worked for them.
Absolutely loved the beach house and the location. The beach was wonderful and our dog had a lot of play time with other dogs. Fabulous restaurants. Already started looking for a return trip. One of the smoke detectors was beeping. Just called the number and someone came to fix it. However when we left the detector was not replaced yet. The only glitch and it was nothing. Thanks for sharing your home with us. Kathy and Keith Jenkin
