What a perfect location with its own walk to the water! Nice open kitchen/living/dining space- great for family time. We definitely utilized beach wagon and chairs-very handy closet with outdoor beach goodies.

Our stay at Moonshadow Beach House was wonderful! This home’s layout is perfect for both privacy (3 big bedrooms) & hanging out, with lots of space in living room, screen porch & deck. The kitchen is well-stocked, & the beds are super comfortable. The location is excellent, right by short boardwalk to quiet beach. We brought our black lab, & enjoyed many relaxing walks with him. Management team was great & made our visit easy! Thank you Chris!

Property is in a great location, very close to the beach, and close to town. The house is very spacious and has lots of parking. There are some minor things that need updating and some TLC but nothing that would prevent me from renting again. The owners respond very quickly and are very pleasant. There are some bugs at night mainly because of the wooded area close by. The beach wasn’t the best this trip, water was dirty and the beach was very shallow but that’s the way the cape is.

A fantastic week!

Property was ready on time, the owner communicated everything we needed to know *before* we needed to know it! We had a great time, and the pups were very happy to be with us for the week. We enjoyed it and will be looking to come back!

Idyllic beach vacation

Our stay was absolutely perfect! The house was clean, comfortable, and decorated with a relaxed coastal feel that made us feel right at home. Best of all it's pet-friendly, which meant our dog could enjoy the vacation with us, and he loved every minute of it!The location is unbeatable. Just a short walk to a quiet, uncrowded beach where we spent our days soaking up the sun, swimming, and taking long walks along the shore with our pup. The deck was the perfect place to relax in the evenings and watch the sunset. It was truly peaceful and private. The home had everything we needed, a well-equipped kitchen, , strong Wi-Fi, and thoughtful touches throughout including treats for dogs. The quiet neighborhood made for easy, worry free walks. The hosts were responsive and welcoming, and we appreciated the clear communication before and during our stay. If you're looking for a relaxing beach escape that includes your furry family member, this is the place. We can't wait to come back!

Great place to share with friends

This is a modest but very pleasant property with three bedrooms and three baths. We shared it among three couples and we were all comfortable with our own bath and bedroom (though one has bath across the hall. The kitchen, living, anddining areas as well as the porch were all comfortable for all of us to enjoy together and the beach is just a short walk away on the private boardwalk.It's not as big or fancy as a lot of the newer places that have been built recently but for the price it is very nice and I highly recommend it for a few couples to share or a family with two or three children.

Moonshadow

We enjoyed our stay - the location was excellent. There was a strong mildew smell in the house, and the outdoor furniture was not usable at all - totally waterlogged and covered in mildew. Fortunately the views are wonderful even from inside with the doors open, but having usable outdoor furniture would have made the experience that much better.

Forgotten Coast Vacation

The beach home is beautifully situated on the Gulf side of Cape San Blas. We felt at home as soon as we walked in the door. Chris and Sue are wonderful hostesses. Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us for our first time vacationing in Cape San Blas.

Perfect location

The location is perfect. It has a gulf view and it’s as close to the water as you can get on this part of the cape. The place was well stocked. We had no problems checking in. Would definitely stay here again.

36th Anniversary Vacation

Chris was great and communicated quickly whenever we had a question. Great location and only a small walk to the beach from a private boardwalk. Cape San Blas never disappoints. Highly recommend staying at this beach house. Spacious and kitchen is equipped with whatever you need.

Great Getaway

The property is fantastic, check in was easy, the beach access is superb. Large space inside and out. Beach toys, cart and chair access was an amazing plus. Some reported provided items were missing, but communication with owner was easy and he resolved the problem immediately.

Great time was had by all

The property was very clean and accommodated us very comfortably. The walk to the beach is just off the side of the house down a boardwalk, great location and easy access. The only thing that was a bit of nuisance is that the trash cans are at the end of the lane by the main road, so we had to walk about a block to drop it off or drive it over to the trash cans. But, only a small price to pay for such a lovely and quiet place. The beds were also very comfortable which is a huge plus in my book.

Good but not great

Clean and interior is nice. Bedrooms are small but never in them for long. Deck is too small with mismatched and moldy furniture. Screened porch was smelly and old furniture. Beds are comfortable!! Kitchen is nice. Long walk to beach but nice view and near AFB so not too crowded.

Perfect Winter Beach Weekend

We spent four nights at Moonshadow and it was simply perfect. The house itself is exactly what you want from a beach house - cozy with a great porch (with a view of the ocean) and screened in porch. The kitchen is well equipped and the living area is so comfortable. The real star of this property is the semi private boardwalk out to the beach. You could not ask for better access. In addition to the property itself, the owners and local managers are beyond kind and responsive. We brought our 11 year old rescue dog down to the beach for the first time and they went out of their way to make it special for all of us. We have stayed at many VRBOs in the past, but none with hospitality like Moonshadow. I cannot recommend this house enough!

The Moonshadow

Nice open floor plan, clean, updated, kitchen well stocked, comfortable deck, tucked away and great beach walking. Wifi not so good (maybe stronger router) but we weren't sure if hurricane Irma had a hand in it. Enjoyed watching the tree frogs at night by stairway. Hose handy for spraying dogs after beach walks. Eating at Joe Mammas, Provisions, Krazyfish and Tamaras Cafe.
