Excellent Rental

Oaks Rest Barn is an excellent house to rent for a family beach vacation. The home is extremely clean and equipped with all the necessities you need for your stay. The elevator was a plus for anyone who has trouble climbing stairs. The pool was just the right size for my granddaughter and approximately to the beach great – just steps away. I have been vacationing in the Port St Joe/Mexico beach area for many years and this is the nicest place I have stayed.

This home was a perfect

This home was a perfect fit for us for our yearly anniversary trip. The kids love the pool and such easy access to the beach. Incredible views of the sunset from the porches. The best thing about the house besides the beds was how every room has a view of the gulf.

Perfect location

This was our 4th time staying at McCosh house and we’ll be back! It’s perfect for us – dog friendly and right on the beach with great sunset views. Very convenient to walk to Scallop Cove store. The house was clean, well maintained, and the kitchen is very well equipped.

Not only does Teresa have

Not only does Teresa have the best rental prices, she is great to work with. We came in a few days after Hurricane Helene hit the big bend area. Teresa scrambled her team together to insure we were able to come in on our scheduled date. Aqua Vista was laid out perfectly for 4 couples. We loved all 4 bedrooms, kitchen, and living room were on the same level. It was a short walk to the beach and the pool area was great. You had sun and shade for the fair skin. We will Definitely stay at Aqua Vista again.

We had an absolutely fantastic

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this rental! From the moment we arrived , we felt right at home. I love Cape San Blas! This house is new and beautiful not to mention clean and some great amenities. It has an additional ice maker, which I love. No need to run out and buy ice for the beach cooler. It also has an additional wine/beer fridge under the counter. I have already booked my trip for next year with Teresa, looking for a second week too. Definitely will rent this house again.

We highly recommend Teresa’s Beach

We highly recommend Teresa’s Beach Homes! We have been staying in their homes here for 10 years. They are all very well maintained, very well stocked, very nice, comfortable beds and furniture in every one of them. Plus our fur baby gets to go. Teresa and Terri are the best!

We will be back next year!

Paradise Get-A-Way

We have been visiting Cape San Blas for the last 20 years and have tried nearly all the Management companies. None can compare to Teresa’s Beach Homes! They are so flexible, professional and easy to work with. Their cleaning crew is fantastic! They are by far the BEST Management Company on CSB! They are a small family owned company and make you feel like you are a part of their family. No hidden fees or surprises. Their homes are well stocked with everything you can possibly need and are tastefully furnished. Everything is up to date and if you should have a maintenance issue they are on top of it immediately. No waiting or inconveniencing your vacation. Plus our fur babies feel welcomed and it too! I highly recommend Teresa’s Beach Homes; you will not be disappointed

Our vacation favorite

Love spending our vacation at Avalon!
We’ve stayed at Avalon 4 times over the years! Home layout is great-pool is perfect for an afternoon swim and pool games!
Angle of the home allows for great views from the decks! Teresa’s Beach Homes creates the best setting for a relaxing time at our favorite place!

Perfect sunset views!

We have stayed several times at Avalon and it is our favorite rental. We stayed two weeks and the sunsets were almost perfect most evenings. Even though it is first tier, the house is positioned to view the sunsets without the beachfront homes blocking it out. The view north is equally nice as you look down the dunes toward the mostly deserted beaches of Rish Park. The pool is very nice, and the furnishings are comfortable and in good condition. The outdoor shower has good water pressure and is very relaxing. The layout works very well for us too. The boardwalk to the beach is fairly level with a few gradual inclines, and there aren’t many steps to get down to the beach. We saw dolphins almost daily. The water is clear on most days being on the North Cape and currently the shallows go pretty far out into The Gulf. I would recommend this rental to anyone.

Exquisite home with excellent beach views

As always, Teresa’s Beach Homes is great to work with when booking a vacation home. Aqua Vista is an exquisite home with excellent beach views. The house is very comfortable, especially the beds. Everyone in my party woke up without the normal back and hip aches we usually have. The elevator and pool were added bonuses to the wonderful home. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad at all with the boardwalk conveniently located just steps away from the house. This was a great home for a girl’s trip, and it would also be a great choice for a couple’s trip or a family vacation, especially with each bedroom having an ensuite bathroom and deck access. The beachside deck is comfortably outfitted and, despite this not being a beachfront home, we had great beach views and could hear the ocean and feel the Gulf breeze. All in all, we had a wonderful time at Aqua Vista. We did not want to leave!

Perfect Beach House

We loved everything about the Tranquil Seclusion and Teresa’s Beach Homes. The house was beautiful and well stocked with kitchen tools. We had an issue with one of the air conditioners in the house and Terri and Teresa arranged to have it fixed within a few hours.

PERFECT

Aqua Vista is the most PERFECT beach house! My family loves the one floor, open concept. It was decorated beautifully and so spacious! The kitchen had everything we needed and the extra ice maker was top notch!! The beds were super comfortable. I also loved that there was only ONE remote for each TV, not 5 or 6 which is always a hassle to figure out. The boardwalk to the beach is right out back and not a bad walk at all! Teresa’s Beach Homes is a great company to rent from. They are kind and very easy to work with!

This little beach house is

This little beach house is nearly perfect for us! This is our second stay in the Great Escape. We’ve been coming to the Cape almost every summer for 22 years. We are senior citizens so having everything on one floor definitely helps. Also the boardwalk makes the short walk to the sand much easier. The kitchen is well equipped, as is every other room. The AC was set at a perfect temp when we arrived and even with the door being opened and closed frequently it never seemed to waiver from perfect comfort. And the temp outside was ‘feels like’ 105°!! Every evening on the deck was paradise! My husband even had me up dancing a slow dance with him!
Oh! And I almost forgot to mention Hurricane Debby!! Teresa and Terri kept us well informed as did the Gulf County Sheriff’s Dept. After all that she passed us by completely! All we got was a very strong sea breeze that was very welcome with the temps being what they were. We will definitely be back!

Our stay at Avalon

I have been coming to The cape for a quite a few years now.. Avalon was absolutely beautiful. There was so much space. It was very clean. We could sit out on any deck at night to watch the sunset . I had talked a couple of times over the telephone with then personally.. So polite, so courteous. They answered every question helped us through any hurdle that we had. I definitely will be renting again from them.

The Best Family Vacation

We had the best family vacation at Aqua Vista! The beach house was beautiful, very clean and well furnished! Don’t worry about bringing games, puzzles or books….they have plenty waiting for you!! The kitchen was well stocked! The pool was clean and they had floats and a beach hauler with the big wheels to carry your things to the beach!
Teresa and Terri were delightful to work with! They answered all of our questions and were extremely helpful!! We will be back!!!

We love Cape San Blas! This was our 3 visit to CSB over the last decade but our first time with the adult kids and grandkids. Each time we have booked with Teresa’s Beach Rentals— they’re so friendly and helpful The McCosh house has a great location on the beach, sunsets amazing as always, and the house had everything we needed.

Beautiful Vacation Home

My family stayed at Oaks Rest Barn and it was absolutely wonderful!! The location was perfect being directly gulf front on the beach! The boardwalk was wonderful and was a straight shot from the pool to the beach in just a few short steps! The home itself was very clean and decorated beautifully! The beds were very comfortable. The elevator was a life saver for our son, whom is in a wheelchair! I cannot say enough good things about this home!! We will definitely be staying here again!!

Perfect for our Group!

We booked a last minute vacation on white whale and I am so glad we did! We were hesitant to book because of the road, but we were pleasantly surprised. This home is outstanding. The pictures of the views and sunsets do not do it justice. This was an adults only trip and we really appreciated having two king masters with private decks each. It made for a wonderful and romantic couples trip. The walk across 98 wasn’t too bad and we felt like we had the beach to ourselves most days. We went down to the windmark access several days to launch our kayaks. It was nice being so close to a bay launch. We also went out to eat several times which was a nice change being so close to the restaurants . We only brought two vehicles this trip to scope out boat parking which there was plenty. We were worried about having to back out onto hwy 98, but you can turn around in the driveway so you never have your butt in the road.  Theresa and terri were very easy to work with and answered all of our many questions. We have fallen in love with white whale and cannot wait to come back.

Family Vacation

This was the first time using Teresa’s Beach Homes for our vacation in Cape San Blas; it won’t be the last. Our family, 6 adults and 3 children, absolutely loved this beautiful home. Extremely well stocked kitchen, very clean throughout, and a stunning view! The pool was a big hit with everyone and the outdoor shower was very convienent It is a long, lovely walk down the boardwalk to the beach. The owners have a large beach cart that can be used to bring beach chairs, etc and this makes a huge difference! There is also a storage bench at the end of the boardwalk right as it transitions to sand. We used this to store some of the childrens’ toys and chairs which cut down on the amount of stuff we were carting back and forth! We loved sitting on the screened decks and admiring the incredible views.
This house had everything that we needed and we are very appreciative to the owners for sharing their stunning home. We look forward to returning to Tranquil Seclusion.

This is a great house to stay at . This was our third time at this house . It’s a short boardwalk to the beach . We love the master bedroom on the fourth floor by itself so if you need a quick break you can go up there . Teresa always responds quickly if there is any question or problems while you are there ! This a five star place to stay at !

We love Oaks Rest Barn!

We love Oaks Rest Barn! It’s the perfect beach home for our family vacation! The beach is so beautiful and quiet, with amazing sunsets and just a VERY short walk from the house across the sand dune! You can often spot dolphins from the spacious decks (located on each floor!). The pool is cool and refreshing after a day on the beach! This was our 2nd year staying here. We hope to come back year after year. Teresa and her crew are great to rent from too. They are easy to reach if you have any problems and they go out of their way to make your stay perfect.

Breathtaking Perfection

Our first trip to the Forgotten Coast, staying in Cape San Blas at Its A Shore Thing was purely breathtaking perfection.   There are not words to describe the sunrise or sunset beyond the most specular sherbet cotton candy dessert one could imagine. Let’s not forget about the home, my husband even said ‘I really like the decorations in this home!  Wowza…. The home is fully stocked, from kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms.  The home is quiet, peaceful, you can see the dolphins or merely walk onto any deck and listen to the ocean.  Or hop the boardwalk to the beach and have the beautiful white sand on your toes.
Teresa and staff are absolutely fabulous, we utilized their suggestions on grocery shopping to dining out.  Just remember you’re on EST time BUT also island time, so check to see when places are open.
We went into our vacation with teenagers who spent most days in the pool then walking the beach searching for seashells.  Us adults wanted relaxation, private (no condos), and to hear ourselves think for once without distraction.  Well the home and location did just that.  We NEVER waited for a table at a restaurant, were met with someone to push the shopping cart of groceries to our car and loading it, and quite frankly the most kind and generous people.   But note, our teenagers were NEVER bored, were so tired and in bed at 9:00pm, and up early.   They’re still water logged from swimming.
We couldn’t be more blessed for our time at Its A Shore Thing and the amazing beauty that surrounds it.  The landscaping is beautiful at this home.
Thank you again to Teresa’s Beach Home for allowing us to stay and create MEMORIES, as a family.

Perfect Last Minute Trip

From the moment we pulled into the spacious driveway, we knew we were at a great house. We had ample room to relax in this beautifully decorated house. The kitchen was well appointed with appliances and serve ware. The beds in this home were very comfortable and our grandkids loved their bunkbeds. We especially enjoyed the short walk to the beach and the heated pool. This was a last minute April trip and it was perfect! This home deserves more than 5 stars and we highly recommend Teresa’s Beach Homes.

Relaxing Family Vacation

Tranquil Seclusion is a wonderful home that is well maintained and obviously loved by its owners. We had three generations of family together and immensely enjoyed the screened porches and the pool. The elevator is a bonus and a great help. The boardwalk to the beach is a long walk, but the reward at the end was an uncrowded quiet beach. The owners have provided a cart to help take chairs/umbrellas/etc to the beach — it was greatly appreciated. We have never stayed at this end of the Cape before, but it is a beautiful area. The house was spotless, and we never had any problems or lacked any convenience when preparing meals. Terri was extremely helpful with finding a baby bed rental. We have used Teresa’s Beach Rental’s before and will be staying through them again. Thanks for another great family trip!!

Horizon Home exceeded my expectations!

This home was immaculate! Everything about Horizon House was perfect! A gulf front beauty in a safe area. House didn’t have the typical, boring beach decor. It had unique, well chosen decor with white being the primary color making it “clean looking” & not overdone. Kitchen had everything we needed, plus more! The elevator worked perfectly which usually is not the case in home elevators — it functioned perfectly every single time. Terry & Teresa are a pleasure to work with when booking accommodations. I always check with them first when I’m booking at Cape San Blas. I will definitely book Horizon House again,

This home is beautifully decorated and very cozy. From the minute you walk in the door, you feel at home. The furniture is comfortable and the kitchen has everything you would need.

Had a great time with two families at Avalon. The kitchen had all the right, new utensils and tools for cooking as well as Tupperware.

Enjoyed our stay

Can always count on Teresa’s beach homes to be clean and well stocked. This home was very comfortable for our family and grandparents. While not Gulf front there are beautiful views and an easy walk. The steps saved by having all on one level inside the home helped make the walk to the beach easier for our youngest and oldest family members. We’re also used to going during summer months, so the heated pool was greatly appreciated during the windy, cool weather we had! The screen porch also is pretty sheltered from the wind and was a nice place to see and hear the ocean from when it was too windy on the beach.

This was our first time staying in McCosh. The house and the location were beautiful! The views from the rooms and decks are spectacular. There is even a small deck in the back to watch the moon and sun rise over the bay. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for the week and the location was perfect. It was nice having a pool in the back on those windy days. As always, the house was super clean and the communication with Teresa was outstanding.

Great Family Spring Break Destination

We spent Spring Break at It’s a Shore Thing in 2023 and 2024. With two children who are teachers and 5 school-aged grandchildren, it’s the perfect time to bring the family together. It’s a Shore Thing is well equipped and the layout is perfect for a family gathering. We were able to spend time every day at the beach and pool. Both were enjoyed by all. People are always surprised that we don’t “go out” while we’re there, but why leave? Shore Thing offers everything we need.

Perfect Snowbird location

For five years now, we have been leaving our Wisconsin home during January and February to spend Winter at Avalon in Cape San Blas. We love the peace and quiet it offers. Avalon has everything we need. Kitchen is well equipped and the extra bedrooms allow for occasional visitors. Avalon has become our home away from home.

Autumn Getaway

We booked a two weeks stay at Cape San Blas from late October into November. The weather never dipped below 75 and it didn’t rain at all. In fact, the weather was the most glorious of all our visit to CSB over the past decade! The house was HORIZON located in the gated Hybiscus Community on north end. It was laid out so well, had comfortable furniture, plenty of space, fully stocked kitchen, and right beside the private walk way to the beach. We especially enjoyed the panoramic view of the Gulf from all the decks and windows. It was exceptionally clean! We will rent this house again.

Our heaters on all homes with private pools are set to maintain 84-86 degrees, weather permitting. In the event that pool heat is not functioning and weather is not to blame please feel free to reach out to us.

Quiet relaxing beach walks

My husband and I took our two dogs to Tranquil Seclusion. This was our first trip to the Cape. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The house was wonderful! We loved the kitchen and living room as well as the king bedrooms, both have attached bathrooms that were magnificent. We loved the private pool and spent time in it each day. The beach was wonderful, felt like a private beach. I especially enjoyed walking my dogs every morning on the beach and watching the sun rise. We hated to come back home! We will definitely return to the Cape in the future and use Teresa. The communication with them was phenomenal. Very much a family feeling.

Relaxing, Convenient, Roomy and Sunset Views

From the first time I reached out to ask questions about the home to check out day, the service and promptness offered by Teresa’s Beach Homes was top notch! They answered any and all questions without hesitation, were very friendly and the home was exactly as described and so nice. The elevator was ideal for some of our family member’s needs and the house was well stocked with all that we needed for the week. We loved that the beach in front of the home never felt crowded and access to stores and restaurants was an easy drive. Would definitely recommend booking with Teresa’s Beach Homes. Pricing was better than what we could find in Orange Beach or Gulf Shores and the only time we ran into crowds was during dinner meal times which is to be expected during peak season.

We enjoyed our week at McCosh and can not wait to return! The location of the house was simply amazing. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises, love the private boardwalk. Terri and Teresa are both great to work with, this is our 5th time renting through them and will definitely again.

Beautiful, Quiet & Relaxing Home

My family absolutely LOVED Oaks Rest Barn! We all had the best vacation we’ve ever had staying together! The house was beautiful, fully stocked with anything you might need and had breath-taking views from every floor! We loved having an elevator to help with moving all our stuff in when we arrived and out on Sunday. The walk from the house to the beach was short & flat, very easy! The beach was clean and beautiful. Not many people around, which is just the way we all like it. We will definitely return to Oaks Rest Barn. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes an underdeveloped, pristine beach to vacation on! Mayberry on the Beach!

AMAZING HOUSE and Rental Company

This was our fist time at It’s a Shore Thing and it was AMAZING> The house was perfect for me and my 9 friends. We had a wonderful time and of course the house was PERFECT. We would have booked again for 2024 but the house was already spoken for. Teresa’s Beach Homes are a great company to deal with. I highly recommend using them if you can.

Great house – Great location

We’re returning customers to Teresa’s Beach Homes. Terri and the whole crew are just fantastic to work with from booking through departure. so we will be booking again with them soon. The house we rented this time was Oaks Rest Barn. The location just awesome.. The house was well appointee in all aspects. The kitchen had everything that we ever needed during the week. Being right on the beach is always such a plus but this lot was just perfect. The views of the Cape and the sunsets made for a wonderful week. One side effect of the location that was really nice was the close proximity to the grocery store and some new eating places (for us). It gave us some different options that was very nice. I would highly recommend Teresa’s and Oaks Rest Barn.

Great location and house

This was our first booking with Teresa’s Beach Homes and it was wonderful. Great communication, super friendly, start to finish was super easy. Highly recommend! McCosh itself was a nice home. We noticed some things that did need fixed that are cosmetic and I am sure Teresa and crew already know about it. It wasn’t major at all. The house was clean when we arrived and well stocked with all that we needed utensils, pots & pans etc. We loved it so much we already booked it for next May. We hope to stay yearly at this house as we loved it so much!

We love the personalized attention that we always receive from Teresa and Terri. We have stayed in McCosh numerous times and it has always been a wonderful experience. I especially love how the price listed is all inclusive. They are great with working with you and if there is a problem, it is always resolved quickly.

Absolute serenity and perfection – perfect for family, relaxation and beautiful beach

This location is amazing – one of the finest built homes I have ever vacationed in – the screened porches and serenity are a definite 10+. The kitchen was fully stocked and we only had to purchase 1 kitchen utensil for our seafood meal. The icemaker in each bar area was a pleasant perk & made keeping our drinks fresh an ease. The space was perfect for our family to spread out but also areas where we could come together and laugh, eat and enjoy our time. The bedrooms and bathrooms are immaculate and all but one open to a porch area. The pool is gorgeous and has lots of area to play – having the outdoor shower was perfect and kept the sand out of the pool and home. The elevator was a big need and once we paid attention to directions, it worked perfect! The boardwalk is private and very sturdy but it is quite a trek to the beach – not for our younger ones but a little much for us older ones! We just made sure we took everything down on our first trek – they provided a wonderful cart which worked great on the sand The location is perfect as we were 10 minutes in either direction to food, activities or anything needed outside of home Teresa’s Beach Homes have always gone above and beyond with any assistance or questions we had – everything from beginning to end was flawless We will visit again & I hope many times

The name fits the house perfectly!

This home was wonderful for our family vacation. We brought our daughters, sons in love, grandchildren and fur baby. The house was spacious, well equipped, and very clean. The littles loved the bunk bed room and the pool, which was very relaxing after a long day at the beach. We didn’t have any issues at all during our stay. Glad I found this place when I googled pet friendly beach houses! We made lots of great memories and hope to come back in the future. Thank you for a great place to stay!

Sandy Footprints is an amazing beach house!! It has everything you could need on your vacation! The kitchen is well stocked! It has been recently updated. It was exceptionally clean.

I wish all the homes

I wish all the homes on the Cape were managed by Teresa’s Beach Rental. Teresa and Terri are amazing. We love the one on one attention and their all inclusive rate. Takes out all the guess work and no sticker shock when you hit the final button when you are finalizing your reservation. If there is a problem, they resolve it quickly. We have rented McCosh numerous times. It has the perfect beach access. There are a lot of stairs in the home, but it is a very nice home and well maintained. You will have to contend with stairs in almost any home in this area unless there is an elevator. We especially love the 1/2 bath on the ground level. We always enjoy our stay. Teresa and Terri are the best.

Stunning Views and Just a few Steps to Sand!

We have stayed at many homes up and down the panhandle coast from 30A all the way down to St. George Island. This home was one of our all-time favorites. It had everything you needed, and more views were stunning and the decks were so relaxing to sit and watch the ocean. The pool was great and such a pleasure to have it automatically heated. We were literally just 20 steps from a beautiful flat sandy beach. I loved not having any homes blocking my view. Teresa and Terri were excellent to work with. We had no issues while we stay there, but if we had, I am sure they would have jumped all over it. We intend to stay at this home again.

Wonderful stay!

Avalon had absolutely everything we needed for 2 adults and 5 teens! There was space for us all to spread out, multiple decks with incredible unobstructed views, convince to the trading post, skully’s shrimp boil, and other restaurants. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed as well as the beach closet (containing chairs, floats, a grill, ect). The walk to the beach was easy and only 100 steps away. I can’t say enough positives about my experience with Teresa’s Beach homes. We have stayed in multiple properties through them and will continue to come back; they are a wonderful family owned business and incredibly responsive to all needs.

GREAT BEACH HOUSE LAYOUT and LOCATION

Oaks Rest Barn exceeded our expectations! Easy and short walk down a totally flat boardwalk to the sugar white beach! Rolling beach carts have no steps or drop offs to contend with, making it a breeze to get your gear to and from the beach! Elevator to all main floors. A very novel floor plan with the laundry and one the 3 bathrooms located on ‘half’ floors between main floors, brilliant! Well furnished with high end items from furniture to appliances/etc! The pool is smartly located half under and half in full sun exposure under the house. You can swim or relax in full sun or full shade!. Perfect for small children! With the pool under the house, you get a breezeway effect that is amazing! Great unrestricted views up and down beach AND there is no house next door to your north! The beaches here are WIDE with little to no erosion. The surf is normally flat and calm, making the water a beautiful turquoise under a sunny clear sky!

Great trip

We rented It’s a Shore Thing earlier this month and loved it. After over forty years of vacationing on the cape, this house checks most of the boxes…private pool, elevator, ground level entry( no steep exterior stairs for entry), great kitchen and his and hers master bedroom closets.

I almost don’t want to leave this review. If I tell you how amazing this house and location is then it will be harder for us to book it in the future. We’ve stayed with Teresa’s for the last decade. This home is our favorite out of all our stays. It’s right on the beach. Like yell for the kids to come in to eat lunch close! The pool is perfect for afternoon relaxing half is under the cover of the deck and shaded for days when you need a break from the sun. Directly across the street is a playground for kids when they’ve had enough water. This house is close enough to everything while still enjoying the relaxing solitude these beautiful beaches offer.

Relaxing

The Avalon is a wonderful place for a restful and enjoyable stay in Cape San Blas. My friend and I were there with our 2 little dogs and everyone had a great time. I think the dogs may have had more fun then the 2 humans. The house is comfortable and well appointed. It’s listed as “not beach front” but the walkway to the beach provides immediate access to the beach – truly only a few seconds to toes in the sand! And the 3 decks provide a great view of the water and fabulous sunsets. We couldn’t have been more pleased with our trip and especially with our stay at the Avalon. Highly Recommend !!

Amazing family vacation

I cannot say enough about our experience at Horizon. This is a beautiful property, from the cleanliness of the inside, the great spaces to hang out in, the amazing views, and the privacy. Great extra convenience to have the elevator and separate bathrooms for all guest rooms! The pool is very nice. The walk to the beach is short and so easily accessible. I don’t think you can find a better rental for the price on the Cape!

Perfect Spring Break Vacation

It’s A Shore Thing was an amazing house to spend our family’s Spring Break. This was our first time at this house but we have already booked for next year. We spent the week with our children and grandchildren. We never even left the property as we had plenty to keep us busy with their amazing pool and close proximity to the beach.
Working with Teresa’s Beach Homes made the booking process so easy. They are also great if a need arises. We have booked through Teresa’s the past several years and are always pleased. Don’t wait! Plan and book your beach vacation at the Cape. You won’t be disappointed.

Great house

We have been coming to the Cape for 13 years. We try to change houses to have a new experience, But this was the third time we have stayed at Sandy Footprints. This house keeps drawing us back. The layout is great, it has everything you need. The heated pool is awesome especially for the early season visit. The built in seats in the pool are wonderful for adults to lounge, and make for a play area for those young ones in a life jacket to stand while building their courage. The walk over to the beach is recently rebuilt. All good for Sandy Footprints.

Great trip!

It was our first time in the area of Port St. Joe/Cape San Blas. Was searching for a place on the Gulf that was a little more low key, and found exactly that in this area. Oaks Rest Barn was an amazing house and it couldn’t have been easier to get to the beach. Views off the balconys were second to none, and the pool was a nice way to finish off the day at the beach. 10/10 would recommend!

Horizon is located in a quiet gated community located on the north end of the Cape. Horizon’s location adjacent to an undeveloped stretch of shore line is priceless. The home’s open design and several windows provide unobstructed views of the water.

It’s a perfect house with lots of space for our young adult children, who often bring a friend or two, and we love having our dog with us! The home is gorgeous, well appointed, and the spacious decks allow for great sunset views of the ocean!

The pool was so much fun for my grandkids and the rest of our family. Teresa”s Beach Homes puts so much thought into making a vacation relaxing! The views from the decks are breathtaking even though this is the first time we didn’t see a sunset due to clouds. A rainy day at the Cape is still a happy day! We have already booked for 2023 and plan to continue to book this home since it is clean, quiet, great ocean view, and proximity to beach. This house deserves much more than 5 stars!

In Real Estate you hear Location-Location-Location and this couldn’t be truer for McCosh as you walk out front to the beautiful Gulfport and up the driveway to the shared community pool or across the road to the local quick shop and gas station or even the apparel and beach items store. Then there’s the actual house that has everything one needs to totally enjoy a family vacation. One of the really nice features is have the sleeping space on second floor with the large kitchen-dining area and living space on third floor giving you a wonderful view of beach and water.

ALMOST PERFECT

Our first stay at HORIZON and WOW! After 21 years of renting at the Cape, i studied hard to find a different rental that would meet our aging leg needs a bit better! We now need elevator or 1 level rentals AND easy beach access! HORIZON solved both! Elevator to main level and a flat and level BEACH/GAZEBO access boardwalk (no humps/no steps) all the way to the beach end! There are steps at the end that lead directly onto a secluded section of Cape Beach below! The same goes for the BAY/GAZEBO access boardwalk and twin docks across the street in the Bay section of this amazing gated community! Add to that a community POOL/PAVILION that is rarely used…all easily access on flat level walkways and boardwalks via walking or biking! We rented a pair of adult tricycles and they allowed us to quickly access all the above areas in minutes! It made all the difference in the world for me! The house design is awesome and the best stocked kitchenware ever! The views are beyond fantastic! A few small items that would be greatly appreciated and add to the beauty of this house… a bit more clothing storage in the bedrooms (open shelving/high boy or a fold out suitcase stand)….at next upgrade, sofas and chairs that are standard height from floor vs so low you have to roll onto the floor to get up and out of them!….. lastly, shades on the Gulf facing windows to control the hot mid afternoon sun before it drops low enough to make those beautiful sunsets! Other than that, this HORIZON is ALMOST PERFECT!

Sandy Footprints was a wonderful location for our family spring break get-away in mid-March! We enjoyed its close proximity to several good restaurants and the Fish Market and to the state park. All of us wanted exercise and just to get away from winter. Long Beach walks, sitting by the heated pool, and enjoying one another was the plan and although the weather could have been better, we achieved our goal and enjoyed the visit to the hilt. The kitchen offered everything needed for cooking, preparing, and serving meals (after we mastered the unusual stove), and the bedrooms and baths were clean and comfortable. No elevator is in the house and a trek over the dunes to get to the beach provided us with with needed exercise, so we saw this as a plus! I only missed the ability to see the sunset from the main floor as two houses in front obstructed the view, and the upstairs porch was rather raw at this early time of the year.

Wonderful

Had a wonderful time at Cape San Blas! “It’s A Shore Thing” was a beautiful and comfortable home. The kitchen was lovely and had everything that we needed. It was clean and very well taken care of. I can’t say enough great things about working with Teresa’s Beach Homes. They provided us with a ton of information. Great communication on what to pack (no surprises on what was or was not in the house), where to eat, and what to do. We had one night of not great weather. Teresa’s Beach Homes sent an email ahead of time telling us how to prepare. We had a few minor issues with the pool heating and as soon as we called they had someone out there within the hour to fix it. Customer service was top notch. House was lovely. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience vacation. Will recommend Teresa’s Beach Homes to anyone.

Perfect Spot Right on the Beach!,

This is the second time we have stayed at McCosh and the ninth time we have rented through Teresa’s Beach Homes. Can’t say enough good things about both. The house is well appointed with everything you might need and is comfortable for a small or large group. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing Vacation!

Our vacation at Tranquil Seclusion was amazing! The home had everything we needed and more. The pool was perfect for splashing and swimming with our grandchildren. We loved walking to the beach . . . swimming, sand castles, shell collecting! The views from the screened decks were incredible. We never left, except to get groceries.
Our grandson cried as we left for the airport because he didn’t want to leave. Can’t wait to come back!

Great Beach House

We have stayed many of different houses throughout the years and this one has been the best one ever. This is our annual beach trip every year and we bring our dog with us since she loves the beach. It was a spectacular stay. The views were amazing. House was more than you could ever ask for in renting.
We will definitely be back.
Thanks Teresa’s Beach Homes for the best vacation ever in our books!

Great Escape

Would I return? In a heart beat!. In fact, returning next year

Horizon is located on a spectacular section of the Cape with large natural sand dunes.. The wrap around deck offers views off the gulf and bay, A second floor seating area, or an observation room, offers outstanding views of the gulf. It’s a perfect place to watch the sunset. The home is well appointed and super quiet inside. The beach is just a few steps away via a neighborhood boardwalk. The neighborhood has a beautiful pool and pavilion that is a few minutes walk from Horizon.

Great beach home. Everything you could ask for.

Our 5th trip to the cape, second stay with Teresa’s Beach Homes. Could not have asked for anything more. By far the nicest place we have stayed. Loved the view and short walk to the beach. Plan to stay here again next summer. Wonderful people to work with.

It was a week of many opportunities

The views from the decks were outstanding. The upper floor was great with its 3 bedrooms – one of which was a bunk room … perfect for many small ones or many big ones as well … the kitchen was large and well equipped … Being at the end of the cape the silence at night was refreshing. Having your own pool made the whole experience even more special.

Lovely house, great pool!

Beautiful, clean house and a great saltwater pool. Kitchen is more than stocked with cookware, etc. Comfy beds and furniture. We’re spoiled for beachfront so we did miss the view. Elevator would be a great addition to an already great house. This was my first rental with Teresa and we were beyond pleased. Had a little garbage disposal issue when we arrived and I’m almost not exaggerating when I say a friendly fellow was knocking on the back door before I hung up the phone. Very proactive and forthright property manager!

Nice North Cape Home

We had a pleasant week in Sandy Footprints last month, lousy weather and all It’s a clean nicely decorated home on North Cape. The master suite was a bit cramped for our tastes, but we”l be back again for our annual May trip since the house next door we normally rent, Bella Vista, is undergoing renovations. I have recommended this house to friends.

A perfect week in a perfect beach house!

We had such a wonderful stay at the beautiful, comfortable and perfectly appointed Sandy Footprints. The space was exactly the right fit for our group. We used the kitchen for several meals and it was equipped with everything we needed. We spent time in the pool everyday and the short walk to the beach was easy. We had our pups and they loved the house and the covered deck where they watched us as we swam in the pool. We loved the restaurants and stores we visited on cape especially Weber’s Donuts! The piggly wiggly in Port St Joe had everything we needed to stock up for the week. My kids (adult and teen) and the friends they brought all thought it was one of if not the best vacations they had ever been on. Hope to be back!!

Awesome Beach House

I have stayed at It’s A Shore Thing multiple times. This was my first stay here under this rental company. They were terrific during the whole booking process and the stay. They kept me updated on the Cape amd things happening leading to the trip and during the trip. The house was in excellent condition. After 10 years of vacationing at Cape San Blas, I would highly recommend this home and company. The recovery since Hurricane Michael has come along way. The Cape still has the same laid back family vibe. Excited to stay again in the future.

A Shore Thing

My family and I had three generations staying in this fabulous house. Well equipped, comfortable beds, the kitchen was a delight. We’ve stayed with Teresa’s Beach Homes for many years. They’ve all been clean, comfortable, and well equipped. However, It’s A Shore Thing just may be my favorite.

Great Place to Stay!

We loved staying at It’s A Shore Thing! The house is beautiful and has an unobstructed view to the beach/ocean. The proximity to the beach is so close, it is literally a one minute walk. This house has everything you need and the pool makes it perfect! Teresa’s Beach Homes was great to work with. We had an A/C issue the first day and Terri was over at the house herself within 20 minutes of our call and got the issue resolved so quickly. I highly recommend this home and would stay there again in heart beat!

Perfect Week

We so enjoyed our week at Shore Thing! The house was roomy, and so close to the beach. The pool was so refreshing after a day on the beach. I didn’t think the adults would use it, but we sure did—everyday! The master suite was on the top floor and super nice; for the grandparents, having an elevator was especially helpful! We enjoyed watching sunsets and the night sky from the roomy balconies. We had a problem with the septic tank (that was due to the hurricane I’m sure), but all it took was one call, and a repairman was there within the hour. I think Theresa and her daughter are delightful, and are what makes Theresa’s Beach Homes THE BEST PLACE from which to rent on the cape! Wonderfully hospitable, professional, and determined to get things right for their vacationers, we will definitely use them again.

Perfect fit for our family

We started renting from Ron and Sandie after Hurricane Michael devastated our home we have been staying at for years in Mexico Beach. When we discovered Teresa’s Beach Homes, and Met Terri. We knew this would be our new home away from home. We have stayed at a couple other of their homes, but Tranquil Seclusion is the best by far. We felt like we belonged, like we knew this was the one for us going forward. They treat you like family, not like an inconvenience. We declared that this will be the home we come to going forward, and I have to say (family all agreed) the screened in porches are a game changer. Hurricane Laura thought she was going to derail our plans, and she failed. This is by far the most beautiful home you own we have stayed in. Thank you for allowing us to make family memories at your home. Next year, our 1st Grand daughter will be with us. I can not wait to start making family memories with her at Tranquil Seclusion.Thanks again Ron and Sandie and Terri. see you guys next year. The Glass Family from Dayton, Ohio.

Myself and 11 College friends stayed here in June! Let me say the house was Amazing! Beautifully decorated and plenty of room for all of us! The pool was so much fun and relaxing to have available. We even did splash contests! Teresa’s Beach Homes was the best to work with. I can tell you this, my group has found a rental company for the rest of our trips in the future to the Cape no doubt. Thank you again for making wonderful memories for my college gals! We will be back to celebrate 36th years of friendship!!

Gratitude

Myself and 4 of my childhood friends came together to celebrate 3 of us turning 60. Each one of us suffered extreme pain and loss within 10 months. My beautiful son passed away, we had 2 mothers, one father and a beautiful brother all called home to Jesus within 10 months apart. The healing power we all experienced was tremendous. We cried until we laughed and laughed until we cried. The setting and surroundings of this home was amazing. We are grateful to the owners for allowing us to rent their beautiful welcoming home. Thank you so much!

Oaks Rest Barn

Luxury on the beach

We booked Oak’s Rest Barn with Teresa’s Beach Homes with a little skepticism. After reading the description of the house, we felt weird staying in a triangle shaped home and wondered if we’d made a mistake, but when we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised! The house was immaculate and even though triangle shaped, you’d never know if from the inside.Everything was pristine and we were so pleased with all the attention the owner had given to detail. Everything was high end, from dishes to flooring!It took us a few minutes to figure out how to work the elevator, but it was great considering our sixty plus year old knees and sure saved us a lot of time and trouble when checking in with all our luggage and leaving too.The location was spectacular! Right across from the Gulf Country Veterans’ Memorial park and it was so close to the water’s edge, we only had to walk about 75 to 100 steps!The pool wasn’t heated when we were there in December, but my daughter jumped in anyway. Apparently, the owner stops heating after Thanksgiving because the constant running of the pump during winter months can cause burn out.The entire time we were there, we felt so blessed. This was the best beach house we’d ever stayed in and we’ve stayed in many!We enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets every single day while there from the convenience of one of the private decks or while walking along the water’s edge.The home is conveniently located between Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe. We were able to visit our favorite spots within minutes.We love using Teresa’s Beach Homes because of the simple check in and out procedures.If you’re looking for a beautiful, luxury beach home, check out Oak’s Rest Barn. Yes, it has a funny name and a funny shape, but there’s nothing funny about it. It’s simply top notch and we’d book there again in a heartbeat.

Spring Break Vacation

This was a very beautiful home right on the gulf. No neighbors to the west and pretty private beach front. This house would be perfect for 2 couples and some kids, or even 3 couples. We went fishing right in front of the house from the shore and caught fish. Port St. Joe is only a few miles away and Mexico Beach is right there. You can see the Cape right across the bay. We also chartered a fishing boat on the bay and caught a lot of fish. There is a grill at the house and we grilled them up. The pool is nice and was heated. If you are looking for a quiet layed back vacation right on the beach this is the house for you. It’s quite spacious and would easily accommodate 8 people. The remodel is excellent, and the elevator works. We hope to go back next year.

Much needed vacation!!

This home is gorgeous and the views and location are even better! We decided to spend spring break in Florida this year and try to forget about COVID! This home provided exactly what we needed. Literally just steps from the beach and when it was too chilly for the ocean, we hopped in the heated pool. The home is beautiful, plenty of room to spread out for all of us. We are already talking about next year back at this house or another one of Teresa’s Beach homes. We just loved the Port St. Joe/Cape San Blas area. No crowds, very laid back and friendly people! Can’t wait to go back!

Great Stay

We had a great time at this house! It was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. The pool and surrounding area were nice, and actually very private despite there being other houses beside this one. The beach is very quiet, clean, and dog friendly. We had concerns about hurricane damage to the area, but the Cape has recovered quite well. Shops, grocery stores, and restaurants are up and running. The people are still as friendly as ever. We look forward to going back for another visit!

Outstanding Customer Service

Knotty Pelican is a very good vacation rental. The only thing that could make it better is an elevator. Amenities are nice and the house is very clean.We must give Teresa’s Beach Homes five starts plus for their outstanding customer service. One of our guests forgot an expensive pair of prescription sunglasses upon checkout. I was able to get in touch with Terri and she contacted one of the persons getting the house back in order (Missy) for the next rental and they were able to find the glasses and get them returned to us.It’s great to know there are still honest people in this world (and to reward them) for doing the right thing.We have rented from Teresa’s Beach Homes in the past and have always received five star plus service.Thank you to you and your staff!!!!!

Wonderful Beach Home

Rented Shore Thing in July of 2019. It was the perfect vacation home for a large family. Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, large kitchen (with everything you need), elevator, pool, excellent views, close to beach, adequate parking. Would stay here again and again. The best fit I’ve found for my family. Also, Teresa’s Beach Homes is a wonderful rental agency–you will not be disappointed.

Perfect score. Zero complaints. House was immaculate. Renting, communications, and directions were simple and straightforward. Absolutely loved the huge kitchen/dining room/living room being wide open and walking out onto 3rd story ocean front porch. The 2 master bedrooms and bathrooms were beautiful. Heated private pool was so nice for the kids and one final note, if you go in the spring make sure you fish off the beach. Can’t wait to return! God Bless America!!!

Overall, my experience at Horizon was excellent The home is easy on the eyes, full of natural light, nicely appointed, with outstanding views of the gulf and St.Joe bay. Horizon is steps from a beautiful stretch of the Cape that was ideal for relaxing and soaking in the the natural beauty of the area. We enjoyed the nearby pool and the comfortable furniture there.Terrie, and Teresa were very pleasant to work with and provided assistance in renting a cabana from Happy Cabana. They setup and removed chairs and cabana each day.

We loved everything about this house! The location is great also having the pool was a bonus since the water was rough a few days. The only thing I would change about this house is at least in one bathroom add a pull down shower head to help people with small children. It was definitely a pain to get my three year old washed off everyday but it wouldn’t stop me from staying here. Just a heads up for people with small kids that there is no bath. I just didn’t pay attention to that when I booked. Also this area we basically had the beach to ourselves which was very nice. I can’t wait to hopefully stay here again next year!

Fantastic Stay!

We were a little worried that our beloved cape would still be down and out because of the hurricane,but were pleasantly surprised to find our usual house, Horizon, and Cape San Blas were in great shape! As usual the house had all the space and amenities we’ve come to expect. It was spotless and so conducive to our family’s needs. Some of the protecting dunes were a little washed away by the storm, so we felt like the beach view was even a little better. Had just as much fun on our rental boat on St. Joe’s bay too! Will definitely be back! P.S. We DID miss Indian Pass Raw Bar. I think they’re reopening in Sept though!

Beautiful home

We had a wonderful stay in this home! It’s well appointed & had everything we needed! The community boardwalk was rarely used by others, as well as the community pool. The handful of times we went to the pool, we had it to ourselves. The view was beautiful from the balconies! The only thing I would change would be that the outside shower was actually enclosed where others couldn’t see in. We had a great stay!

If you enjoy no hassle booking and no hidden fees give Terri and Teresa a call. The house we booked was beautiful with an unobstructed view of the gulf! Being an old Navy man I particularly enjoyed seeing the “green flash” again! If you don’t know what that is it’s as the sun sets the very thinnest edge before it drops below the horizon turns brilliant green. Do stop at the grocery store before you check in as groceries are very limited on the cape.

McCosh

Absolutely Perfect

I must first start by saying that Terri and Teresa are a big part of having a perfect week. They go above and beyond to accommodate their guest, and we really appreciate all their hard work. The best part is when they post the rate on their homes, it is all inclusive. That means a lot because there is no sticker shock with lots of surprise fees that have been added in to get to the grand total. I wish every person and/or management company would make this a common practice. McCosh is a lovely home with a great beach access. I think that the reversed floor plan does makes it seem like there are a lot of stairs, but there are no more stairs then the usual beach home. The home was very clean and everything was in good condition. There was also plenty of parking. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to renting from Teresa’s Beach Rentals again soon.

Our favorite place to stay in Cape San Blas!!

McCosh is perfect for us in so many ways. Pet friendly, with a perfect gulf front view, we always enjoy our time here. Teresa and Terri are always responsive if anything ever comes up. They are an excellent property management team! The beds are comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the deck furniture offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy a cup of coffee while watching for dolphin to swim by. The house is always clean and comfortable. The community pool is beautiful, even though we don’t usually get a chance to use in in the winter months. The location on the Cape is right across the street from Scallop Cove, which we appreciate when we need supplies. The owners there are super friendly too! We will be back!!!

Amazing experience and the best customer service!!

My family loved our stay at the Grey Whale! We arrived just in time for Hurricane Sally but a little bad weather couldn’t ruin our vacation. The house was great and had everything we needed. I really appreciated all the cookware and nice serving platters. The location really couldn’t be beat. We had the beach to ourselves most of the time and it was so convenient to be right on the beach.The Piggly Wiggly and Dollar General both had online ordering and curbside pickup which was so convenient and safe! If you’re staying during the Covid pandemic, I would recommend bringing extra pillows. All of the decorative and throw pillows were taken out. We didn’t think to bring extras so had to bunch up some sweatshirts cause we’re side sleepers! Lastly, the customer service at Teresa’s Beach Homes really can’t be beat. We’ve stayed at beach homes all over OBX and Myrtle Beach and the service from Teresa and her team is hands down the best! We can’t wait to return!!

Another great trip!

This was our 2nd stay at the Grey Whale and it was once again wonderful. We have stayed in several houses in the area over the years and this one by far has the best beach access which is greatly appreciated when taking kids back and forth to the beach! The closet downstairs had plenty of beach chairs which came in very handy & the kitchen is well stocked. We noticed a leak in the kitchen sink one evening but we called Teresa and it was repaired by 8 am the following morning. The only downfall to this house is just the number of stairs. I know most of the larger, beach front homes will have this issue but it would be something to consider if you are traveling with very small children or adults who have a hard time maneuvering a lot of stairs. Overall, we have always had a great experience with the Grey Whale and with Teresa’s Beach Homes!

Great Thanksgiving

Phenomenal vacation house right on the water. Has one of the best furnished kitchens of any rental I’ve been in over the past 20 years. Incredible views from the balconies and the weather this year was incredibly good. The beds were comfortable. Grandkids loved the close proximity to the beach. The cooks appreciated being able to see the beach when standing at the sink. Our only complaint is it’s time to replace the couches in the living room. They were not comfortable and the inability to have throw pillows currently only accentuated it. Also the fans in the living room didn’t have lights so we needed to drag a floor lamp over to the small table we used for games due to the lack of lighting in that quadrant of the living room. But those two issues were totally overshadowed by the pluses this house has to offer.

I also appreciate the transparency in fees – what you advertise is what we pay. I will definitely be a repeat renter.

It had everything we needed and then some. Our two pups enjoyed the beach and the elevator was very helpful since one of our babies has arthritis really bad and stairs are difficult for her. Teresas Beach Homes care about their homes and the Cape and everything was immaculate. I wish we could come and stay in one of their homes every year. Our week was very relaxing and it was pure bliss to walk our dogs on the beach every evening.

Aloha House

We had a great experience at the Aloha House with Teresa’s Beach Homes. Loved the location and the screened in porch. The house had everything we needed. Teresa’s Beach Homes was excellent to work with from booking to keeping us up to date with the pandemic changes.

Awesome

This was our 5th visit to the Cape and Aloha House has been our best experience. Great location – the beach could not have been close enough. Loved the screened in porch to watch the beautiful sunsets. Great amenities and more than enough beach chairs and umbrellas available. Thank you for making our vacation complete. Will hopefully return in 2021.

Can’t Wait To Return

The house is beautiful, clean, and most comfortable. For those who may need to have a working vacation, the Wi-Fi was great. My favorite part…walk right out of the door on the ground level and the boardwalk to the beach is connected to the carport! The beds are comfortable. High-quality linens and comfortable mattresses. The kitchen was amazing with everything you could think of that you might need to make the perfect meal. The views from the lower screened in deck and the upper open deck fabulous, with comfortable seating. If bugs happen to be biting, the screened deck still allows beautiful views and sounds of the ocean, minus bug bites! The house looked brand new, inside and out. We were close to The trading Post, Webers Donuts, Ice Cream, and St. Jo Shrimp Company among other places…including Scallop Cove.

Steps to the beach – It is a “Great Escape”!

First of all, this is the perfect cottage on the beach – big enough for two couples to have plenty of space. Each bedroom has its own bath. The kitchen is clean and well stocked. The screened-in porches are the icing on the cake. The parking space is good for 2 large vehicles. We have been coming to the Cape for about 20 years, and this is one of the best places that we have stayed in. We cook a lot, so when we found the oven was not heating properly, we put in a call to Terri, and she immediately responded. By the next day we had biscuits for breakfast! From the initial contact, we got the overwhelming feeling that we would be taken care of. We were a little concerned about the aftermath of Hurricane Michael after we heard about and saw some of the devastation – and while there are several places still patching up, for the most part all of the debris has been picked up. The beach area is fine. They were working on the roads, but it looked like all of that will be done soon. We shopped at Piggly Wiggly in town, but honestly could find most everything we needed at the Trading Post very close to the Great Escape. We love to go into Port St. Joe for shopping and good seafood and Mexican food and to Apalachicola for some shopping and good food at The Grill and The Owl. We will be back to the Great Escape.

Three years straight

This was our 3rd stay in the Great Escape. The views were amazing as usual. Ate breakfast outside every morning. We love this place and hope to be back next year. The 4 legged babies love it as well. Work continues in the area but it is a small inconvenience compared to the beauty of the cape. Can’t wait till next year!!!!

Home Away From Home

This was our second year staying in this home, can’t wait to get back to Great Escape next Year!! Perfectly located, fully equipped kitchen. We love the deck, screened in porch. It truly feels like our home away from home. We missed it as soon as we pulled onto the road to drive home.

It is a great escape from all the hassle of this busy world ,

If you want to truly unhook from the busy world for a while, this is the place for you.. The house is lovely with beautiful view of the beach. It is quiet, with only the sound of the gulf. We will certainly come back here again!

Much needed rest…

Great Escape was absolutely lovely. Cozy, clean and spectacular views. This was our first year coming to the Cape during Thanksgiving (we have been coming in the summer for over 30 years) and I think I actually prefer it in November! Cool mornings and warm afternoons. We love that we can bring our dogs, because they are family too! Be sure to bring dog beds if you have a fur baby with you so they will have a comfy spot. Teresa’s Beach Homes is a wonderful company to do business with. They are warm, friendly and prompt to respond to any questions you may have. I highly recommend them.

Perfection!

Teresa’s is the perfect rental company to work with, and Great Escape is a fantastic home for a small family with pets. The deck and screen room made rinsing and drying big dogs a breeze, the walk-over from the house to the beach made for easy access, and the house itself was comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, the hard flooring throughout works well with big dogs, and the house is perfectly located for outdoor fun. We hope to return next summer!

It Really is a Great Escape!

This is our 2nd stay in this home, and we have already booked for summer 2022. We come with our grown daughter and our large breed dogs. The Wi-Fi is sound which is important since our daughter must be in touch with work and is also working on her graduate degree while we vacation. The porch is amazing as she can sit there to do her work with a fantastic view of the ocean. Having the screened area and the deck gives us a fantastic place to let dogs dry and cool off after they romp on the beach. While humans are taking a break from the sand, you can still enjoy the sounds and sights of the ocean. It you like to run, head up the road to the path and take a right. If you run 3-4 miles round trip, half of your view is the bay. Just beautiful early in the morning. There kitchen has everything you need to cook at home, and the large table is great for family meals or for working on a puzzle after dinner. There are plenty of linens and the house has been clean both times we’ve rented – once during the height of COVID-19 Pandemic. Oh, if you have forgotten something, you can just walk to the Tradin’ Post. If you are looking for a small house on the beach that is also affordable, this is the house! Did I mention the only carpet is a living room and a kitchen rug? This makes it so much easier for you to bring your furry family members, too!

We’ve stayed at Tranquil Seclusion for three consecutive years. The home is perfect and ideal for our family in so many ways. Terri and Teresa are exceptional to work with, and we’re thankful to be able to work with Teresa’s Beach Homes every year!

Family Vacay 2021

We three sisters plan a beach vacation every year. Oak Rest Barn and Teresa’s Beach Homes served us up an amazing week. The location and the layout of the home was perfect. If you want to make sweet memories with your family treat yourself to Mexico Beach.

Amazing Family Vacation

My wife and her sisters plan a trip to the beach every summer. My brother-in-laws and I make sure everything is set up for them and the kids to enjoy. Oak Rest Barn provided the perfect amenities for all of us to enjoy an amazing week together. We made sweet memories that will last a lifetime. Teresa’s was great to rent from.

Love CSB

Thanks so much for a great week!! This house was perfect for our family of 6 with kids from teen to toddler! We had everything we needed and felt very comfortable. We would definitely rent this house again – it was very well maintained. The screen porch was on point!! Had another great vacation at Cape San Blas. Already counting down until our Thanksgiving trip with the grandparents at Avalon.

Pure Bliss

This is our third stay with Teresa’s Beach Homes, second time in Avalon. Avalon is a beautiful 4 story home with a private pool and gorgeous views of the ocean. It had everything we needed and then some. Our two pups enjoyed the beach and the elevator was very helpful since one of our babies has arthritis really bad and stairs are difficult for her. Teresas Beach Homes care about their homes and the Cape and everything was immaculate. I wish we could come and stay in one of their homes every year. Our week was very relaxing and it was pure bliss to walk our dogs on the beach every evening.

Perfect!

This home was lovely, clean, well maintained, tastefully furnished and stocked with everything we needed – and then some. All three generations thoroughly enjoyed the spacious accommodations, wide open beach and welcoming heated private pool. Working with Teresa and Terri couldn’t have been easier. They were always available, and instructions and expectations were clearly communicated. We’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful Getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay at Aloha House! The decks overlooking the beach are breathtaking. We caught some amazing fish in the surf right in front of the house too. Teresa and family do such a great job of making every bit of the rental process seamless and we go back again and again. Thank you for a week where no one thought about anything except the beach!

Fantastic

This was our first year in Horizon and our 16th year with Teresa’s Beach Homes. Both the property and the property management are first class! The Cape is incredibly magical destination.The winter months are quiet and restorative! We’re already booked for 2022! Thanks Teresa, Terri and Chris for all you do!

Don’t forget your dog!

We’ve stayed on the Cape for years and always choose Teresa’s! Our last stay was at The Aloha House. It is amazing. Incredible views from both balconies. Inside is bright and cheerful with all the amenities (b.y.o mirror ball)
Teresa and Terri have the best home’s at the best prices!

Fantastic Vacation

The home was wonderful. It was exceptionally clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed the golf cart access to the beach. Even on the chilly days, the heated pool was used and very pleasant. We are loyal renters of Teresa’s Beach homes and have been for several years. It would be hard to beat their communication and response. The staff that we have met have been kind and courteous. Can’t wait to come back down in May!

My Happy Place

This was the fourth year we had stayed at the Blue Pearl. We love the relaxation and the two porches were great for our fur baby. Always very clean and smells so fresh when we arrive. The best place we have rented in 25 years at the beach!!!

Gulf front feel from the 1st tier

Avalon is perfectly positioned to view relaxing sunsets from the decks. Our parents really appreciated the elevator, and that they could watch us on the beach from the deck. We have stayed at several of Teresa’s homes and they are always clean, very well maintained and decorated.

Best place we’ve ever stayed

Our family has been to the cape multiple times and we have enjoyed McCosh the most out of any of the houses. The location, the decks, the view, and they have the best deck chairs ever! We can’t wait to come back. “Teresa’s Beach Homes” is also the best rental company we’ve dealt with too. They make the rental process so easy!

This was by far one of the nicest homes we’ve enjoyed on the cape. The porches are wonderful, and Teresa and her family provide great service. We went ahead and booked it again for next summer within a month of leaving!

Incredible beach house.

We’re not millionaires, but we felt like we were for two weeks in 2019. This home is a spectacular piece of architecture that brings the Gulf up close and personal. Attractive and quiet gated enclave, boardwalk to the long stretches of uncrowded beach, and access to a lengthy dock on the sound side of the Cape. Great food and drink a short ways away. The property managers were very helpful. I hope to stay at Horizon again.

Always the best!

We’ve been renting homes from Terri and Teresa for over 10 years. They always go the extra mile to make our family vacations the best. Any issues we’ve run into have always been handled quickly and professionally. They are a family run business that really cares about the community and their guests. Their rates are always competitive and the properties are very well maintained.

Amazing Vacation

My family and I had an amazing vacation at Oaks Rest Barn. It was everything we needed and wanted for our family vacation. Very private beach. There were never more than 10 people on the whole beach. We enjoyed the privacy to swim, fish, and walk along the beach. My brother enjoyed the pool as well. The house had everything we could ever need. Can’t wait to come back in the future!!

Private Oasis

My week at Horizon in 2020 marked my third time at the property. The openness and amenities encourages me to return for another visit. I have alternated visits over the last five years. The location is convenient to both ends of the Cape. The kitchen is large and has all of the utensils a person could need for the stay at the beach. The beautiful view of the beach provides inspiring sunsets. The top floor observation room is spacious and quiet. The convenience of the elevator helps with luggage and the unloading of supplies. When we had a slight electrical challenge, the maintenance worker came at night in the rain to help solve the problem. Definitely worth a stay at any time.

Spectacular

What a beautiful home!!!
Waking up in the morning and being able to hear the surf while drinking coffee on the deck has to be one of the best parts of the day! The house is well stocked. The bedrooms being on a separate floor from the living area is very nice as it allows those wiped out from the sun to go to bed without the noise of those staying up. The elevator was a tremendous help! Was so happy to get there and so sad to leave. Hope to be back soon. Thanks Teresa’s Beach Homes!! Y’all are the best!
