Southern Exposure

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 13 stayed here over Thanksgiving week. Ages ranged from 1 1/2 years to 80 years old. The house had plenty of room for all. I would agree with other reviewers that additional outdoor seating would be nice. One upper balcony had 2 chairs and the other had none. I asked ahead of time about any baby items that were available and was told that there were none, but there was a high chair, pack & play, and a crib. That would have been nice to know ahead of time so that we didn't have to pack those items.

Port St. Joe is in the middle of a beach restoration project. They were trucking in sand right in front of the house while we were there. Our grandson loved watching all of the heavy equipment, but it did make it difficult to get to the beach. There is now a mountain of sand that you have to climb over to get to the beach. I'm not sure how long it will be like that, but you might want to check before your stay. It made it impossible for the elderly members of the family to access the beach.

Overall, this was a great house for our family. We would definitely stay here again.

There were a couple of problems but they were fixed quickly. The only downside was that the rate doubled for next year and we will not be able to go back.

It was so nice having a bathroom for each bedroom plus one on the main living area. Beautiful area with a large beach. This house is not right on top of another one like some. We highly recommend this house.

We had plenty of space for 3 families and multiple kids. The fact that each bedroom had a king size bed was definitely a bonus. The pool was also great! If I wanted to reach and mention a negative it would be the outdoor furniture. Some of the furniture was rusted and falling apart. Overall, I would definitely stay here again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I with our 2 dogs came to Port St. Joe again this year for vacation for the 4th time and loved every minute of it. This is our 2nd stay in a Cape and Coast property and everything was on point as usual. The property was ready on time as expected, and everything was in its place. Unlike many vacation rental properties, Cape and Coast actually sets the thermostat at a reasonable temperature so that when you arrive your home away from home is comfortable from the very first step! Southern Exposure is a wonderful property right on the a beautiful beach that due to so few homes being in this area, you feel like you are on your own private beach. The dogs had a fantastic time at the beach, and there is an outdoor shower and hose on the ground floor so that you can rinse everyone off before coming back inside, or retiring to the fantastic oceanfront pool.

Our entire family had a wonderful time here and thanks to the elevator, our elderly family members were able to stay in whatever bedroom they wanted no matter which floor it was on.

I highly recommend staying at any property with Cape and Coast, but especially Southern Exposure if you have a large group and a couple of 4 legged family members.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The space was perfect for our group of 8, 3 couples and 2 singles, everyone had a king room with their own bath. The house fit our needs perfectly, we love having a private pool (by the end of the week the pool water did get cloudy and could have used some maintenance.) There are a few places touch up painting needs to be done, that's the only thing negative I could even say about the property. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, a crock pot, we didn't need anything in addition to what was already there. The pantry is a huge plus, we were able to store all of our groceries and had plenty of space. The outdoor chairs aren't the brown chairs shown on the pictures they are white and plastic and could use some updating, some had cracks, there was one broken chair left behind the picnic table. My only other suggestion would be to have more outdoor seating on each deck. The second floor deck only had one chair for two rooms. Overall I would recommend this property to anyone, we have inquired about renting again in the future.

We have been to CSB several times but this was our first time at this rental property. Our family has grown and we needed more space and Southern Exposure didn't disappoint! For such a large house for many people, a second refrigerator would be helpful.

The view from the main level deck was unbelievable and the weather the end of April was perfect. The area is exactly what we were looking for and we could not have been any happier. We had one issue with the heater for the pool but the property management got someone out to fix it in a very timely manner. Would highly recommend and will return as soon as we can.

Amazing views and the beach was amazing.

This was the best vacation yet for our large family. We had such a great experience that we have deposited for next year.

Will return here,elevator a little slow,but slot of help

Carol A. - Posted: 8/30/2020

This property is well laid out for a large family or multiple families. The elevator is a PLUS!! The kitchen as well stocked. We cooked every night. The air conditioning works great which is a big plus. The views are beautiful and the fact that you can drive down to the beach in two minutes was wonderful instead of lugging everything through the sand. We had a great week!! Overall great experience!! The only place we’ve ever seen with five king-size beds- a major plus!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family had a great time at Southern Exposure! We loved the private pool and easy walk down to the beach. We were surprised by jellyfish in the ocean the first day or two (several of us got stung), but we didn't see any after that. The house was well-equipped - it even had a high chair, even though I had contacted the management company to find out before we left and they said there wasn't one. So we hauled our own all the way down there for no reason. :-( We loved that the adults all got a king room with their own bathroom - that's hard to find - and the kids loved the bunk room! There were a few small maintenance issues (broken chair legs on bedroom porch chairs, lights burned out in bathroom, bathroom door didn't lock) but they weren't a big issue for us and we didn't bother calling maintenance. We had a great time - and we all came home without any viruses! (Many of our friends were shocked that we were daring to go to Florida at this time. We hardly saw anyone outside our own family!) :-)

Our family - 2 great grandmothers (87 & 89), 4 adult children, 6 grandkids (7 - 15), and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Elevator was so handy. Rooms were attractive. Furniture comfy & plentiful. Pool was amazing. Kitchen well stocked! Only 2 suggestions - light on elevator call button needs to be repaired & a boardwalk to beach definitely needed. I spent quite a bit of time everyday picking sandspurs out of our dogs’ coats?& grandkids’ feet). Also, you might warn others not familiar with the area that bug spray (flies, mosquitoes, sand fleas, etc) is a great thing to have on hand!

David D. - Posted: 7/9/2020

Wonderful location! The accommodations were perfect for our family. We brought our two 80y mothers, our 4 daughters and They each had their own room and bathrooms. The elevator was essential and it was easy to use. The management was very responsive. We will be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First, the professionalism and support of the reservations team is, without fail, outstanding. The staff always makes snowbirding easier because they are so helpful to me. S/E is a very nice home, neat, clean & spacious, in a great location on the wide 30A beaches. The pool was awesome and even though I was there in January, the heater made it possible to swim for 2 weeks. The beds were very comfortable, and other than the crashing surf of the Gulf, the area was quiet. All of the bathrooms (my usual pet peeve) were spotless. The kitchen was well-equipped for the cooking that we did. My only complaint was that all of the dining seating, both at the counter and the table, is raised-chair (basically barstools with backs) furniture. For people with physical difficulties (like my short legs and bad back), the seating is not comfortable. All of the other furnishings were "cushy & comfy", including the outdoor furniture on the decks/balconies. Southern Exposure has become one of my favorite properties to rent from Cape & Coast.

The only downside I could say is that the main area echoed a lot , so the children sleeping upstairs or downstairs would be awoken easily. Other than that, a perfect house!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a wonderful time at this house. The mgmt staff were fantastic; they addressed minor issues with expediency. House is in a great location; quiet and peaceful. All the people are so friendly. Be mindful that a lot of the area is still recovering from Hurricane Michael. It did not hinder our experience, but there are some businesses that are still not up and running. Hence, going to the store or out to eat is at least a 15 min drive. Also, be mindful that this beach environment lends itself to the plethora of bugs that Florida has to offer. The No-See-Ums pack a bunch when they bite. I'm still itching over a week later. Just bring bug spray. Regardless, my experience was totally worth it, bites and all. I highly recommend this house and Cape and Coast Vacation Rentals. Top notch!

From the stand-alone ice maker and dual coffee makers to plastic ware for any leftovers, the kitchen is wonderful for cooking meals for large parties. We were a party of 15 ranging in ages from 5 yrs to 84 yrs and all had their own space and the home never felt crowded. The beach is beautiful and a few steps away from the private pool. Highly recommend - we definitely plan to come to Port St. Joe again and rent with Cape & Coast.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Southern Exposure was a great venue for our extended family trip (14 people). The house was roomy with a great design for handling get togethers and also afforded enough room if you wanted some private time. The house was well appointed and the furniture was very comfortable. The people at Cape and Coast were very responsive to anything we needed. We had two minor maintenance issues, and there were people to fix them within an hour. The only drawback for the week was the boardwalk to the beach has 5 sets of steps. It wasn’t ideal for getting our heavier tents and coolers in a beach wagon and to the beach. I had two big, strong sons-in-law to overcome it , though. The beach was great, with plenty of room, so no one felt crowded. It was a great place for a relaxing week!

The home had plenty of space for our large family and the private master suites were great for our group. Beach is a easy, flat walk just steps from the house. The kitchen had all the main items to make meals while enjoying the spectacular views. The kids loved the pool and there are a variety of pool and beach toys to use. The beaches were quiet and we saw dolphins many mornings. This home is perfect for several families to come together and enjoy all the Cape has to offer!

This is a well designed, newly constructed home with breathtaking views. The location, covered parking, layout, elevator, and pool make this property very desirable. We had family and friends join us during our four stay and all absolutely loved this home. A great time was had by all! As always, Patti and the entire staff at Cape & Coast were easy to work with and I highly recommend them to anyone considering a vacation rental in the Cape San Blas or Indian Pass area.

We could see the gulf and watched dolphins as they passed by nearly every morning. It was great to be able to see the beach from the house and we could walk down and back easily. There is a vehicle access just 2 driveways down so we could take all our gear on a golf cart or car. With 6 bedrooms and 6.5 baths it didn't feel crowded at all and we hardly saw anyone else around except for a few people on the beach. Bring lots of groceries because there really aren't many places to eat or shop. Great place for low key vacation. Be sure to visit and Weber's Donut Shop. They are the best.

Hard to find a home that provides 5 King suites and a bunkroom! The middle floor was a great gathering place--large kitchen/family area. Property had a lot of steps so the elevator was a godsend. The rental company was fantastic--great communication, responsive, and provided an app with all the details for our upcoming stay. The only issue we had during our stay was a noisy air conditioning system on the top floor and a french door that would not close properly.
