Sandy Footprints was the perfect place for our family! The house was very clean, well equipped, so bright and cheerful! The pool, the beach, the house, the weather, the fishing, the privacy- it all was perfect! Teresa and Terri took great care of us with their cheerful communication and quick responses. We highly recommend this house and booking with these charming ladies!

The perfect house in the perfect location. It is a beautiful, clean, comfortable, well appointed home, equipped with everything you would find in your own house. The open concept of the kitchen, dining and living areas, along with the high ceilings, give Sandy Footprints a wonderful openness while still feeling homey. You don't have to bring a thing, the huge kitchen has everything, right down to the spices. Several people could prepare food in the kitchen without the usual '”hip checks”.' All of this opens onto a huge deck, wonderful for morning coffee and any meal. We spent a good deal of time on the deck, warm breezes and sunshine from dawn until dusk Being from a northern climate, we realized we gained almost two hours of extra daylight which translated into more time outside. The bedrooms on the second floor have fabulous views. We could get out of bed, take a few steps and be on another huge deck, sit in the lounge chairs, listen to the surf and take the time to watch the seagulls playing in the wind. While my husband headed out to golf or fish, I set up my easel for painting my landscapes on that deck, there is so much room. The outdoor kitchen was a bonus for us, the barbecue and sitting area was perfect for lunch after we returned from the beach. When we wanted to be busy, there was the Shrimp-fest, Eagle seminar, kayaking, the Oyster-fest in Apalachicola, sunset cruises, joining the library book sale, Gumbo-fest in Mexico Beach. We made new friends at the St. Josephs spaghetti dinner fund raiser. Saturdays we went to the market and found gifts and goodies for friends and family. Toured the impressive St. Joseph State Park. Walking on the clean, white beach everyday, anytime, collecting shell treasures was the best of everything. The warm sand seeping into your sandals, the smell and taste of the Gulf soothing your soul. The quality of our lives is so much better at Sandy Footprints. As first time Florida travellers, we had no idea what to expect. Teresa's Beach Homes family patiently walked us through the process and took such good care of us. If it wasn't for this fabulous pet friendly home and wonderful family business, we never would have been able to have this “dream come true” vacation. We would never stay anywhere else, we can't wait to go back next year.

First and foremost, booking Sand Footprints was incredibly easy. Terri and Teresa kept an excellent line of communication with us from when we booked, to when we were staying there all the way until after we left. After staying there, I can't thank you ladies enough that you share this amazing place with other people. I've never seen a more beautiful place! We weren't sure what to expect since neither of us had ever heard of Cape San Blas / Port St Joe, but we thought we would try it out. Zero regrets! It is clean, quiet, secluded, beautiful and everyone was incredibly welcoming. It is an EXTREMELY dog friendly area too, which is great! The home is located well up into the northern region of the Cape San Blas peninsula in Port St Joe. We had the chance to drive up the coast a couple of times and also walk the beach in each direction multiple times. After seeing much of what Cape San Blas has to offer, we agreed 100% we had one of the best locations and houses. We spent probably 4 nights grilling downstairs in the outdoor kitchen area (amazing), and although we had a couple cool days, we did get a chance to swim in the heated pool a few times too (which almost no other house has a private pool that we saw). Upstairs on the main floor you have a wide open floor plan with the living room and dining area all open to the kitchen. A nice big walkout deck was good to have for hanging out, which we did everyday, and the stairs from the deck that led to the outdoor kitchen and pool were very convenient. The top floor, The master bedroom was perfect size and had another big walkout deck. From the top deck you could watch the sunset and check the water out in the daytime. Great views and a feeling of serenity up there. Honestly, overall, the house was so great it was hard to leave when we were going down to the water. You have great privacy because your neighbors are set up to be in the back of the house towards the water like you are. The only thing I would caution to anyone is to be ready to conquer some stairs. This should be nothing new to anyone who knows beach houses, but we were rookies. :) If you are looking for shopping and bars, this might not be the best choice. But if you are looking for a peaceful, quiet getaway - you found it. It was a mostly older crowd, but my girlfriend and I loved it (We're in our 30's). Sandy Footprints was a beautiful home and we think we made a great decision booking it. We hope you find it as memorable as we did.

5 grands and 5 adults=a GRAND time. We left our own Sandyfootprints everywhere!!! But there were none when we arrived. Everything clean and ready for memories when we drove up. So surprised to see all the fun stuff in the pool closet...lots of sand buckets, kites, boogey boards, chairs and floats. Thanks for whoever left them for all to enjoy. What a great pool!!!! little feet could walk underwater on edge completely around the pool. Such a safety feature. Loved the safety key latch on the pool fence....however a little discipline needed to have little boys not crawl over the fence! Bunk beds for kids and TV a great combo. Baby gates and high chair also a big help!!! Walk to beach so easy and close even for 2 year olds. View of beach from upstairs porch great. Just like well stocked. Lots of heavy duty jellyroll pans made baking a pound of bacon a cinch. Big Electric Skillet was great for frying shrimp and making pancakes. Used Weber grill but BIG gas grill by pool and refrig there too. Enjoyed sweet communication from Teresa and staff...always responded timely. Wifi worked well. Yeah....would love to come back:-

have lost count how many years we have stayed here. The best place on CSB for summer vacation, especially for our grandchildren. The private pool is a lifesaver when vacationing in July. Plenty of room for our family of 11. Always clean. The outdoor cooking area is perfect. We never The the Cape while vacationing here. The icing on the cake is working with Terri and Teresa's Beach Homes. Great folks to work with and always so gracious.

Thank you so much to Terri for being so helpful for our last minute trip! We appreciate that you stayed in contact with us and listened to our needs. Sandy Footprints was great for us & our two dogs, was very clean with lovely decor ( and we are very particular when we rent vacation rentals) kitchen was very large with every amenity that we could ask for, the Sandy Footprints was just a short walk over the boardwalk to the gorgeous beach & had wonderful views of the gulf from the upper deck. The decks were large and spacious with plenty of seating if you have a large group. The outdoor kitchen area and the heated pool were fabulous. This is a great home to for a larger family, but it suited my husband and I with our two dogs just perfectly with plenty of extra space! We had a wonderful and relaxing vacation & will definitely be calling you whenever we come back & we cant wait!! Also, I would like to add that it�s very nice to book with someone that is local to the area and knows each of the homes ( First time we went there we booked through a company that our rental agent was in a different state & couldn�t really give me true advice and we were completely unfamiliar with the area) . Thank You!
