A Tropical Breeze

It’s Cape San Blas! How could it be anything but perfect?! Trust me. I’ve stayed many places on the cape. We started going in the 90’s, were married there in 2001 and have been back many, many times since. If this house is available in the future, it’ll be where we stay, again and again and again. My judgement of a place always starts with the comfort of the beds and the quality of the shower. Both: spectacular. Enough said. Next: views. 2 screened decks overlooking the ocean. 2BRs upstairs share the top deck, dining area and tv room share the lower. Both a relaxing, well-appointed, and spacious and protected (did I mention the screens) from flys/mosquitos. Kitchen amenities. We cook. A lot. We cooked here. A lot. And with ease. The only small kitchen tool we needed and couldn’t find was a slotted spoon. That’s it. The one minuscule shortcoming of this wonderful house was that I couldn’t find a slotted spoon. You know what I did about it? I drank a margarita, used a regular spoon and forgot about it (till now…and im getting a margarita craving, again!). I’m sure there are people for whom that’d be a monumental showstopper. I don’t hang with those people. Cleanliness: It’s clean, it’s beautiful. This place is awesome. Beach: (good for you for reading this far). This is where this place REALLY shines. If you know the cape, you know that the depth of lots of beachfront property there has been significantly reduced by hurricanes and other erosion. This spot is fortunate that it still has not only a nice, deep beach, but a large protective dune between the house and the beach. Rent it. You won’t be disappointed. Even if you think you can’t live without a slotted spoon. Truth be told, there’s probably a slotted spoon somewhere and its possible that, due to the aforementioned margaritas, I might not have searched somewhat lazily. One additional great thing about this place: you don’t have to work hard to learn where stuff is stored. The cabinets are labeled!

A Tropical Breeze was a wonderful vacation home for our family of five. We loved how much space there was, how well organized and the beautiful beach! The home has so many thoughtful touches that you don't find in most vacation rentals. You can tell the owners care about their guests from comfortable beds and furniture to plenty of everything from kitchen needs to books, movies and beach gear. They have thought of everything in this beautiful home. The owners are available and communicate well if you need anything. We came down just after hurricane Helene and the owners were very helpful with any questions we had. Just book it! You will love it!

Wonderful home in great location

My husband, our three boys (ages 2, 4, and 6), my husbands parents and his brother were all there with us. We had plenty of space to each have our own room and bathroom with the kids all in the bunk room. The elevator was a life saving with kids and my mother in law who has a hard time with all the stairs that come with beach houses. The beach was beautiful and nice and empty.We will definitely be staying here again!

We had a lovely stay at Tropical Breeze. Weather was beautiful. And you are right about Hunt's. A great addition. The beach was particularly spacious in front of your house.

- Posted: 8/24/2024

Our family of five adults and two toddlers really enjoyed our stay. So close to the beach, and not in a high traffic area, so it was very quiet and peaceful. The open concept kitchen/DR/LR was perfect for keeping an eye on the kids while the adults cooked.

We're so glad you enjoyed your time in this great property and we hope to see you again!

The house was far beyond what we expected. The owners were great and the house was even better.

- Posted: 7/6/2024

The kitchen was well stocked and we ate almost every meal at the house. Roni was an amazing host with flawless communication throughout the trip for anything we needed. She helped us determine the best places to snorkel, and even had a couple surprises waiting for us when she found out it was our son’s birthday. The house and beach were beautiful—already excited for another trip back to the Cape/the house!!

- Posted: 5/18/2024

The property was outstanding with ideal access to an extremely private beach. Just steps away! The home was very well laid out with ample space for 2 families and the beds were extremely comfortable. If you love to cook, this is the home for you! They are equipped with everything you could think of and more!!! There was also a room on the ground level with everything you could need for the beach, including extra flip flops and life jackets! We would rent this place 100x over. Can’t wait to return to one of our favorite spots!! Thanks again for an amazing stay!!

We had a wonderful week at our favorite place in an amazing house!! Super clean, super roomy and comfortable and a great location!

We enjoyed our stay! The owner and property manager was very helpful with with all our questions. The house was very clean.The beach was gorgeous!!

Our original booking was double booked and we were switched to this place for no additional cost. It was beautiful, super clean and well stocked. We had stayed here in the past and I think they did a few upgrades and it’s so very nice. We definitely would rent again!

- Posted: 11/26/2023

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and that you felt the upgrades we made since your last visit! We always strive to make sure our guests have the best possible experience, and it's great to hear that you were pleased with the cleanliness and amenities. Thank you for choosing to stay with us and we hope to have you back soon!

Very nice place with a quite setting and I Highly recommend! However, plan your meals and bring with you as the handful of restaurants get so busy in the afternoon that you cannot even get close enough to find out how long the wait is:-)

We are in love with this beach house. It is perfectly located on the beautiful white sands of the gulf. This house has an elevator which makes unloading and getting groceries to the kitchen and suitcases to the bedrooms a breeze. The house is beautifully decorated and includes two decks. The kitchen is better equipped in my kitchen at home. Our family members are beach people and are always anxious to get to the pristine white sands right across the boardwalk, steps from this house. In late afternoon we have the best view of the sunset. The owners provide many beach chairs and other sand toys. There are few pleasures that our family enjoys more than tropical breeze

We loved our stay at A Tropical Breeze. The house is ocean front and has beautiful views. Roni, the owner and gracious host has thought of everything you need to enjoy your time at the beach. She goes out of her way to make sure you are having a great vacation. The kitchen is fully equipped, lots of games, books and puzzles to keep you entertained. We would definitely stay again.

We absolutely loved staying in “A Tropical Breeze.” The home is beautifully decorated and also very comfortable and made us feel right at home. We had 7 adults and 3 children so everyone was well accommodated and all of the beds were very comfortable. There were even bathrooms for every bedroom plus a half bath on the main floor. We loved that there were not only 8 chairs at the dining table but also 5 chairs at the bar right beside the table so everyone was able to eat together. The views were amazing and the decks were so large with lots of comfortable seating. The kitchen has absolutely everything you need! There’s even a pantry that we were able to put our groceries in so we didn’t have to leave everything out on the counters. The elevator helped so much with sending up luggage and groceries. The home has lots of games, cards and dvds for rainy days. There were very nice beach chairs for our use and many beach toys as well. The beach was just steps away and the ocean in that area was amazing. That was the farthest north we had ever stayed on the cape and I couldn’t believe how much nicer the water was. It was so calm that it was like a lake all week and so clear that we could see right through it. Everyone kept saying that this was their favorite house. We had the best vacation ever and can’t wait to stay here again and make many more memories. The owner is so kind and so easy to work with. She even checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you so much Mrs. Pridemore for sharing your home with us! We will be back!

What a perfect place to gather with family! The house is lovely and has everything (and more!) that you would ever need.The location is amazing- steps from the beach, beautiful dunes, stunning views of the water, and breathtaking sunsets! Thanks for sharing your home with us- we can't wait to go back!

- Posted: 5/23/2023

We usually spend our summer vacations in the mountains of Colorado so this was a new experience for most of us. We were not disappointed. Beautiful house, beautiful beach and water, plenty of room to spread out and the snorkeling was awesome. Great place to stay.

- Posted: 5/20/2023

A big shout out to Roni, and Pristine property! What a beautiful place to stay. Throughout the week we did not find a single thing that wasn't provided. Everything was top notch. Pleasant surprise on how clean the house was. We would love to rent this home again.

- Posted: 4/7/2023

The property was gorgeous with terrific views. We did not have the best weather but made the most of it. The owners were very personable and made sure we had everything we needed. They even shared tips on places to go, things to do and places to eat.

I’ve been visiting and vacationing in SW Florida for over 20 years. This was my first visit and stay in the Panhandle and Cape San Blas. We stayed at A Tropical Breeze for 5 nights with immediate family (parent, siblings, children, and grandchildren). The beach house was so spacious and we all had our own bedroom and private bathrooms. The elevator was especially helpful for moving luggage in and out and for my elderly mother to have easy access to go outdoors. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the appliances and dishware and cookware that you will need for making your own meals. There is also a gas grill for cooking outside. I would definitely recommend staying at a Tropical Breeze for your next family vacation. The house sits right on the beach (with a short walk over the dunes to get to it). They have plenty of outdoor chairs for use by the guests and an enclosed lanai on both floors with plenty of seating for relaxation and visiting. The views of the sunset are pretty spectacular also! There is plenty of indoor activities for cooler or rainy days with DVD’s, board games and books. We made such special memories with our family during our stay and look forward to coming back for another visit in the future.

The well stocked kitchen is the best we have ever had and we rent homes yearly for over 30 years! We only ate at Coneheads, Longbills and The Seafood Grill ( over in Apalachicola) all were delicious.

- Posted: 8/6/2022

The house was great! View was not good and price was way too high.

- Posted: 7/30/2022

We're glad to hear you liked the house and understand that it is an expensive rental but for the quality, location, and size I'm not sure that you can find a much better deal.

Despite rain, had a great week. Terrific location. Probably best-equipped kitchen in my many years of beach vacations.

- Posted: 7/23/2022

Extremely nicely furnished and the kitchen items were labeled and well appointed. The elevator was most helpful when we were moving the luggage. You can tell this property is well loved. It was a pleasure staying here and will definitely rent it again!

- Posted: 7/9/2022

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is equipped with everything you could need - and it is extremely spacious and comfortable. The short walk to the beach is ideal and we spent hours soaking in the sun and sand. Would return without hesitation.

- Posted: 6/18/2022

We stayed an entire week. The views from the top floor are great! The home has everything you could need. A really nice grill too (btw). Also, the bedding was superior. Very comfortable.

- Posted: 5/28/2022

Elderly will have problems getting to the beach as many steps over sand dunes.

- Posted: 5/21/2022

The property is amazing! The house is right on the beach with tons of space for the family to spread out. We enjoyed morning coffee on the big screened in porch, heading over the dune to hunt for shells along the beach, building sand castles with the kids, and walking down to Cone Heads for ice cream, fried fish and piña coladas. The master bed rooms were very comfortable, with beautiful views every morning. The elevator was also surprisingly handy for getting bags up and down. To top it off, Roni, the homeowner, was super responsive and accommodating. All in all, it was a wonderful experience for our entire family group. Thanks again Roni!

Great house with great view. We really appreciated the elevator for groceries and luggage!

Probably the best experience we’ve had with a beach rental! The house is perfectly set up for two families but can easily hold a 3rd. It has two masters, both with breathless views. It was our first visit to Cape San Blas. It felt very exclusive. Love that you can have a fire on the beach. If you prefer less crowds and what felt like a private beach this is your place. The owner Roni & management company were unbelievable. We will definitely be back!

- Posted: 9/26/2021

Three families (5 adults with 4 kids under 7) loved this house. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, cookware, glasses. Rooms were clean and beds were comfy. Best of all the house is steps from the beach. Loved it.

- Posted: 7/25/2021

We loved this home on the North End of Cape San Blas...wonderful kitchen for cooking; views of Sunsets from the Top Deck; Firepits on the Beach; Close to Awesome State Park; Kayaking; Fishing; Shell seeking...

- Posted: 4/25/2021

What a great trip to the Cape and A Tropical Breeze. This house is amazing...so much space and it has everything you need. So clean it feels as if it is brand new. The beach was perfect and the State Park, just steps from the house, was so much fun to explore. Roni was such a great host, quick to answer any question offered so much advice on fishing and on things to do in the area. We will be back!

- Posted: 4/26/2021

I LOVED this house! Great location (walking distance to Coneheads and the new restaurant). There are condos nearby but it was fun seeing all the dogs and you still have a private area behind the house. It was perfect. Also the kitchen was amazing. Well stocked. I recently stayed somewhere that didn’t even have a salt shaker. This is not that place.  The essentials (and more) are waiting for you. And the owner was very accessible and helpful. We will definitely look to book this property again.

- Posted: 4/26/2021

We loved our stay at beautiful Cape San Blas, and A Tropical Dream was perfect for our family - clean, comfortable and exactly as pictured! Roni made everything so easy, and was wonderfully accessible and informative for all my many questions. CSB is truly a hidden gem, and we hope to return again!

- Posted: 8/23/2021

This house was great. The kitchen was beautiful. It had everything you need and more. The owners were fantastic. Very nice friendly and helpful.

The boardwalk to the beach with all the steps was hard on the older couples that were with us.

Very well stocked kitchen with the exception of having no garbage disposal

- Posted: 3/13/2021

The house is awesome with the exception of the dunes that block views of the beach from both balconies.

This was our first time spending Christmas away from home and we could not have had a better experience. My 4 children loved the bunk room and all the books and board games. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked for us to prepare a Christmas dinner. My husband and I enjoyed breathtaking sunsets from the balcony. I could not recommend this property more. What an amazing way to close out 2020!

We stayed here after Christmas and the house is SO nice! Very clean, spacious, everything you could need in the kitchen, all appliances are nice and in great condition. Roni, the owner, is absolutely lovely to talk to and communicate with! We will definitely be back soon!

from Memphis - Posted: 1/3/2021

Our house was so lovely and convenient! All was comfortable and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. The sunsets from the porches were so beautiful and even though the water was cold, we could not have picked a better place to stay for a get-away. Cape San Blas is just beautiful in November and very few people there. We found some great restaurants with outside seating and places to get the best take out. We got bikes to ride, pickle courts and wonderful shells on the beach. The only drawback was we were not prepared for the flies on the beach that time of year. If you are walking in the water, they don't bother you but some days it was difficult to sit on the beach. Other than that, I would recommend this house and Cape San Blas!

- Posted: 11/20/2020

The house was fantastic. Had plenty of cookware and dinnerware for a large group of people and had everything you need for the cook masters in your group. The bedrooms are large and the beds are very comfortable. The owners and property managers were very friendly and available for any assistance. Would definitely recommend this rental to friends.

- Posted: 11/12/2020

We have been coming to the Cape for many years. This was the best equipped kitchen I have seen! Loved the layout of kitchen to family area. And really.... I don't think I can stay anywhere else now that doesn't have an elevator!!! The owners even left super soft blankets to snuggle in while watching the very nice BIG TV!! Great Vacation!!!

- Posted: 8/29/2020

Beautiful property. Especially enjoyed the sunsets right in front of the home. Property owner (Roni) is awesome!

- Posted: 10/17/2020

You couldn’t ask for a better place to escape to! Cape San Blas is really special and ATB has everything you needed! Views were incredible, beach accessories on point, and easy process all around. If you’re looking for a quiet get a way, this is a great place. Only a handful of restaurants, a couple stores, and miles of beautiful gulf white sand. House had basics for first few days (TP, paper towels, etc) but make sure to bring extra if your staying a while. Book with confidence!

We had a great time at A Tropical Breeze! The home was beautiful and every detail was taken care of. The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of space throughout the house. While there are several steps to climb to get to the beach, it is well worth it when you get there! We basically had the beach to ourselves the entire week. We will definitely be back!

- Posted: 8/8/2020

A Tropical Breeze is a beautiful home right on the beach! Location was perfect! The home had everything you could ever need/want! Beach gear being included was a huge plus! The owner was awesome to work with!! She was super helpful! Definitely will revisit A Tropical Breeze again!

I can't rave enough about this wonderful beach house and the awesome location! There were seven of us and we stayed for a week. We loved it so much! - There are tables and many chairs on both decks with nice, clean cushions. The screened-in deck is a safe place for our little one, and the upper deck has a great view (it even has hummingbird feeders). - The spacious bedrooms all have their own bathrooms. The beds were all very comfortable. The master bathroom is incredible -- a huge walk-in shower, a jacuzzi, a large vanity with two sinks, lots of room and lots of sunlight. - The living room has plenty of comfortable seating, gas logs and a big TV. - The dining area has an enormous table! We really put that to good use. - The kitchen looks out over the whole room and out all the windows for wonderful views while cooking. The kitchen is amazingly well stocked with quality equipment -- probably the best stocked kitchen we've ever seen at the Cape, and we've been renting houses there for over 20 years. We like to buy fresh seafood and cook there at the house all week and this is the perfect place for that. - And the elevator... what can I say. No more carrying suitcases and groceries up stairs! Yes! - Outside: plenty of parking space, shower with hot water, a nice Weber gas grill, logs for a beach fire, chairs and picnic table. - A nice boardwalk to the awesome beach, which you begin to feel is your own private beach. - The owner contacted us directly and made sure everything was perfect. Thank you, Roni! - We fell in love with A Tropical Breeze and look forward to staying there again!

A Tropical Breeze is a very lovely house on a beautiful stretch of beach. We loved the screened in porch and the view of the beach from the top deck. The house had a very well equipped kitchen and very nice bedrooms and bathrooms. It is a house that starts to feel like home!

What a great property for a family get away! We thoroughly enjoyed our time together at A Tropical Breeze. This beachfront house was well appointed, comfortable, well maintained and the elevator was a ‘must’ for one member of our family. Sunset views from the top deck were breathtaking! We loved the quiet beach with plenty of open space for the grands to play. And, I managed to catch sight of a dolphin playing in the surf who jumped completely out of the water several times! Our entire family loved our visit to Cape San Blas and A Tropical Breeze was the perfect place for us to make great memories!
