Perfection

My husband 3 sons and there significant others, plus dogs stayed a week. This vacation was a long time coming. It’s been a while since we have all been able to be in one place. The house was beautiful. Right on the beach. The balconies overlooked the beautiful water. Very clean. Everything you need down to beach chairs. The whole area is very pet friendly. Apalachicola, Port. St. Joe, Cape San Blas. We got to bring dogs to beach. They loved it. Bonfires on the beach. We hope to go back next year and stay here again . Such wonderful new memories.

Just perfect!!

My husband and I were celebrating our 40th anniversary and decided to rent Sweet Necessity and share our love for Florida with our family. Everyone that came were blown away by our gift to them. Sweet Necessity was perfect in what we wanted our family to enjoy. The home gave us everything we needed to for our 7 monthold great grandchild to our 24 year old grandson to our 38 year old son and family! Sitting and watching the sunset with my daughter on the upper deck was like heaven! The great pool for the grandkids was a hit and the excess to the beach was fantastic!! The Cape was a quaint area with fantastic people...deffinately recomend Skully's Low Country Boil...a real hit with our family!! Can't wait to return and stay here or Good Fortune...thank you Carrie for making our 40th anniversary trip such a fantastic hit!!

Sweet Necessity is Paradise on Earth

You will not find a better place to relax and forget all your worries than Sweet Necessity. Immaculate home, so much attention to detail, with everything you need or want for a carefree week in the sun and sand. A bonus to spending your vacation in such a beautiful home is the best homeowner/property manager you will ever deal with. Ms. Shevlin is a joy to work with! I don’t want to even think about staying at a property other than hers.

First Ever Renters of Sweet Necessity!

We travel annually from Canada and have rented many homes on the Cape. We had the pleasure of being the first renters of the newly built Sweet Necessity! This is one of the nicest properties we have rented. You can tell that Carrie, the owner, and her family have built a rental homes before and have put their years of experience into this home. The design is fantastic, open floor plan on the upper level where family and friends can enjoy the dining, kitchen and lounging area all with great beach views. Each room gives each guest the feeling of privacy and the mid floor lounge is a nice touch. Tastefully decorated for a true beach house feel. The elevator is a nice touch but the window filled stairwell is fantastic. The pool area is perfect, our girls enjoyed daily and the beach is a few steps away. We towed our boat along for our vacation and the boat ramp is 5 minutes up the road with easy access to St Joes Bay. From the two dishwashers to the beach towels for your dog Sweet Necessity has had a lot of thought put into it! Thank you to Carrie and family for the great rental experience! Eric and family.

"Heinrich Family, I can't tell you how excited we were to welcome you as our first guests at Sweet Necessity. It's rewarding when guests enjoy the home as we envisioned during the design and build process. Thank you so much for our first 5 Star Review and your kind words about our home. We hope to welcome you back to Sweet Necessity again soon.Carrie"
