Sandy Frog is a lovely property. Dawn is great to work with. Look forward to visiting again soon!

We're so glad you had a nice time Daniel, it was a pleasure having you! Thanks again.

Sandy Frog is officially our new favorite beach house on Cape San Blas. The location is wonderful, the house was clean and very tastefully decorated, and it had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable (even the beds!!!). Dawn and John were a joy to deal with and we are thankful to them for sharing their beautiful home with us. We were glad that we could spend a glorious week there helping to support the local economy after last year’s hurricane Michael. So glad it is recovering so well, and we are already looking forward to being there next year!

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay! Sounds like you got to take advantage of the Cape's local places, too, which we love! Looking forward to having you again.

My family enjoyed every minute of our stay at Sandy Frog. First — the location: my husband and I made a pact not to tell anyone in our town where we were because we want it to stay remote and peaceful and laid back. But if you’re considering this area anyway, this is the place. You’ll love it. Natural beauty, old Florida feel, dog-friendly, clear water, nice people. It’s perfect. The house: because of the damage from Hurricane Michael last year, it seems every house that is back on this part of the Cape has gotten an update and a facelift. This one was so new it probably didn’t need it. But everything inside is fresh, new, and clean. No clutter anywhere, which adds to the sense of peace. Beautifully decorated, high quality linens and towels. The washer/dryer are top notch, which is a first for me at a beach rental and so appreciated. The view from the master bedroom was like waking up in heaven every day. I took pictures of the custom made bed in there to get my builder at home to imitate it. This was the mythical, magical family vacation we were looking for. We’ll be back to Sandy Frog.

Angela, we're so happy you enjoyed Sandy Frog! You are so right, a good washer and dryer are a must for a beach vacation. Glad it served you well. We look forward to having you and your family again for your next beach getaway.

The layout, location and furnishings in this home were perfect. Would definitely stay here again.

We're so glad you enjoyed our home during your vacation! Hope to see you again on your next beach getaway. Thanks again, Dawn & John

sandy frog worked very well for us, great location, very comfortable and well appointed with excellent appliances, great decks, easy beach access, wonderful privacy and quiet surroundings. Only noise we ever had was the sound of the surf. We had many happy days splashing in the gentle surf and walking the nearly empty and private beach. We would easily rent again. My lovely wife loved the fact that we had a powerful vacuum to keep everything sand free. We will rent again.

We're so happy you enjoyed your stay! Glad you and your family got to enjoy some time together on the deck and on CSB's beautiful beaches. Can't have a beach trip without a good vacuum! Hope to see you on your next beach get away. Thanks again, Dawn & John

The house was exactly as described and pictured. It was clean, and we encountered no problems.

Loved the house! It was super cute decorated, being so close in the beach was a must for us!!

I'm so glad you loved the home! Thanks so much for staying with us! Dawn & John

The location is perfect! The beach is steps away and never crowded. There are shops nearby and handy for picking up items needed for cooking, etc. A larger grocery store is located in Port St. Joe. Port St. Joe also has delightful restaurants. Near the house , kayaks and pontoon boats can be rented! Great time for both kids and adults.

I'm glad you guys had a great time. Dawn & John

The House and the Spot on the Beach were great. The Views of Beach from the Front Porches were amazing. The view of sunrise from windows and balcony on back of house were awesome also. Beach was only a few steps from front of house. House is great and décor is beautiful. Nice layout , great kitchen plenty of bathrooms. Pet Friendly so we were able to bring our dog. I would recommend this house and rental group to anyone. Great for family vacation. Trading post and gas station , bait shop are not far away. Beach is secluded with not many people , that was nice ! Wonderful week with kids and grandkids.!!!!

This was our first time to the area. The area is recovering nicely and we recommend visiting there. The house was beautiful and was very convenient to the beach. There is a local fish market so we grilled and cooked fresh seafood and just relaxed as much as we could. I gladly recommend the area and property to anyone wanting a truly stress free vacation.

Thanks so much for staying with Us

I hate crowded beaches! This was just what I needed in a vacation. Quiet serenity. No one in either direction. Just my family, the sound of waves, and a beautifully decorated beach house. We watched the sunsets off the back balcony nightly. Everything we needed to tilize the kitchen was there. Thoroughly enjoyed the host’s responsiveness. Thanks, Dawn!

We enjoyed your beautiful home and will definitely be staying here in the future .. it was picture perfect , the master suite is gorgeous . You get a view of water out of every window I do believe . There was not one thing to complain about - which says a lot ! Didn’t want to come home so soon . We will be back , thank you

So glad you got to enjoy the home, views and spend some time on the beach! Hope to have you stay again on your next getaway. Thanks again, Dawn & John

This property was amazing and large enough for three families to share and enjoy! The kids LOVED the ocean being right out front; they spent all day swimming (in December) and playing in the sand. The water was too cold for the adults, but the kiddos didn't mind it. :) The home itself is beautiful and well-kept. You will love every second you spend at the home.

1. The home is beautiful and nicely furnished. Beautiful views from the balcony. 2. Upon arrival we walk down to the beach to see that our beach access is pretty much gone because of very large pipes. That was never shared with us. I would google earth this location before booking because you will not be informed. 3. The path to the beach from the home is rough and you need shoes especially on little ones. There are little thorn bushes in the grass leading up to the path and really HURT! 4. We were forced to evacuate because of Hurricane Michael. We were there for 48 hours before we forced to leave. I have tried emailing the owner to work with me on a partial refund or let us come down at another date. Guess I will continue waiting for that response but I wont hold my breath.

Please note that review was written 8 days after we had a devastating hurricane. We had no electicity, water, or sewer until 10/18 and we had no internet for many weeks after the hurricane hie. In regards to the beach restoration and pipes on the beach that was a true fact and the pipes were laid on the beach just days before this guest arrived and we were not aware that this project was starting or where they were starting until they started setting up. This was completely out of our control and the project was cancelled and everything removed before the storm.

This property was perfect for our family. We had 7 adults.. 3 toddlers and 2 dogs!! It is very nicely done and comfortable. There are a lot of stairs, but that’s to be expected in these type of homes. The view from the living room and master bedroom are beautiful!! Thank you again for letting us use your home. We stayed the week of September 29th

Our first time to vacation at Cape San Blas. An outstanding home with perfect decor for a most relaxing and comfortable stay. The beach was clean and not overly crowded. The gas station/convenience store was close by for staples and the Beach Planet store for beach necessities and gifts.We didn’t eat at the Cape, but it had a couple places nearby. We really enjoyed Appalachicola for shopping and the raw oysters! Very friendly area that we would recommend. After staying at the Sandy Frog, it will be difficult to stay anywhere else. I certainly hope future renters take care of this gem!

This house is in great condition, the mattresses on all the beds were comfortable ( that wasn’t the case where we stayed last year). It’s Gulf front which is great but there is no walkway or steps going to the beach and that makes it hard returning to the house from the beach with all your chairs, tents, coolers, etc and having to climb up a steep hill made of sand. Also there are no steps from the back porch so you have to go to the bottom floor to exit the house. The house needs a few more pots, pans and utensils, though the basics were there. I’m sure this is because the house is so new. Also the fridge was small for us and there wasn’t a second fridge as a backup which we have had before. I’m just putting the drawbacks that mattered to us. Overall we liked the house and the sand and water couldn’t have been more beautiful!

Our third trip to the forgotten coast. We love the privacy on their beaches. If you are looking to GET AWAY this is for you. The area has in close proximity bike rentals (bike trails), great local foods, state park, delicious doughnuts and handy stores. Here are house highlights. A wonderful floor plan for family gatherings (open concept). Beautifully decorated giving a beach feel tastefully. Dreamy gel foam mattresses in all bedrooms. Master bedroom has wonderful beach view. Lots of room for our family of 7 adults. Kitchen has lots of counter space and easy cooking flow. Internet all through the house with no dead spots. Thanks Dawn for sharing your new house with us!

This home is absolutely gorgeous. We had 6 adults in our family for Memorial Day week & there was plenty of space for all and we never felt crowded. Loved the open floorplan on the main floor w/ the kitchen, family room and dining area looking out onto the beach & a view of beautiful sunsets. The bedding & all other furniture was very comfortable. There were plenty of dishes provided for meals. Having a BBQ grill & extra beach chairs was awesome! The beach was a quick walk over the dune & was not crowded. Keep in mind, CSB is very small, there is no night life, and you have to drive into PSJ for groceries/dining, etc. It is great if that is the environment you are looking for. Unfortunately, we vacationed in the midst of Tropical Storm Alberto, but we made the best of the few days of decent weather we did have! My family enjoyed our visit here & we were very comfortable in this home.

Beautiful home and super comfortable beds! I love how the owners decorated this home… Not your typical “tacky beach” ...It was really beautiful! The walk to the beach is very short but could be difficult for someone with any mobility problems at all because you do have to climb down a small dune, not a problem for us but wanted to mention for anyone else. We really enjoyed our stay!

Thanks so much for your kind words. We appreciate you choosing our home. Dawn & John

Great new home that should get even better with time. Wonderful views. Very comfortable.

Owner Response

It has been a wonderful rental thanks for staying with us. Dawn

Very clean, beautiful new home. Bright natural lighting from the many windows. We could watch the sunset and sunrise from the home. Views were spectacular! Not suited for anyone who cannot climb stairs. We can’t wait to go back.

Owner Response

Glad you loved this home. We do not have an elevator so yes there are steps but the living area is in the middle with one queen bedroom with a private bath and the Master is on the top floor.
