A nice place to stay on the cape

We enjoyed Rips Reef! The house was nice! Multiple king sized beds and a nice master suite. Was also nice to have a guest bathroom on the main floor. The beach access was easy and not too far of a walk but the beach itself wasn’t the best spot on the cape. It has many dead trees in the surf area so you kind of have to go a bit down the beach if you want a clear spot of sand/water. The “trees” are not tall but they protrude from the water and would make wading in the water pretty uncomfortable. The house was comfortable and we buoyed the screened porch off the main floor!

Even Better in Person

We were beyond happy with our accommodations at Rips Reef. Very Clean, lots of seating and well stocked with everything you could imagine. The Kitchen lacked for nothing and was well organized. We had a 16 month old and had access to baby gates, pack-n-play and eating utensils. The pool had floats, noodles and toys available. We loved having the option of a large screened and unscreened porch. The only thing is we were a bit further from the beach than what I gathered from the pictures. But still was def not a deal-breaker. We would 100% book again. Thank you Coastline Rentals for being very accommodating when we needed to change our weeks because of work!

Had a wonderful stay! Our entire family (including twin toddlers) enjoyed the perfect location , well stocked kitchen and pool! Layout was great for us and the paved road that goes almost to the boardwalk is a nice perk for wagons / carts to the beach!

Excellent Stay at Rips Reef

This property is very nice and super clean. My family is very picky when it comes to cleanliness and we had no complaints worth mentioning for a beach property. The kitchen was stocked and organized very well making it easy to locate anything you needed. The beach decor throughout the property is so tastefully done and the location is a very short walk to the beach as described. My only suggestion would be to update the description regarding the items available to use on the beach. The wagon would not roll, the umbrella was broken and there where no beach chairs to use as described. Not a major deal however would have been convenient to have. The few issues that we had, management staff was very quick to respond and provided a quick resolution. We would definitley stay at this property again. Very enjoyable vacation.

$300.90 for heated pool Oct1 to Oct7

I was charged $300.90 for having the pool heated in October!! I feel like I was taken advantage of. They also didn't answer messages on verbo nor did they answer the phone, but if you leave a message with what you were calling about it gets done.. other than that and like many said before me, this is a 5 star place and the one you definitely wanna stay at!! I just can't get over $300.90 for pool heating in October hence 3 star review..

Good location to beach

This property is very clean and we had no real serious issues. The only complaints are the internet is very slow, and the daytime noise level is very high when at the pool. Lots of street noise and construction or home upkeep noises as the area is still rebuilding after hurricane damage. Walk to beach is short and there are enough stores right on the cape that you don’t really need to go anywhere else!

We rented bikes and what a great way to start the day riding along the bike path right outside the door. We will be back because this was one of our favorites and we come to Cape San Blas every year for our family vacation.
