Best Stay Ever

We have spent many vacations in FL and AL but this was by far our best trip due to the well stocked house with many amenities such as beach towels and beach equipment. Be Our Guest staff were responsive to questions we had and the fresh flowers were a warm welcome. We loved our stay at Fishlips and hope to return!

Perfect home for our extended family vacation. The house was great and stocked with everything you would need! The pool was clean and well maintained. We did pay the extra fee for heating the pool (in March), and it was well worth it since it was a little cool and windy during our stay! We had a wonderful stay and will be back next year!

Great beach getaway

Enjoyed the week at fishlips. Beautiful view of the gulf and beach from all living levels of the home. Every beach toy you’ll need for your stay and an over abundance of items for cooking and dining. The balcony is great for star gazing and the screened in porch listening to the waves crash into the beach made for a pleasant backdrop during lunches.

Everything we dreamed of

The location is fantastic, very quiet and laid back. The pool was so nice that the kids didn’t want to swim in the ocean! There was ample beach gear and pool toys. We especially enjoyed using the kayaks and spotting a group of manta rays. The second dishwasher, ice maker and beverage fridge made this our favorite house on the cape!

A piece of heaven

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fishlips is a beautiful peaceful oceanfront lovely home. When you walk in you get a sense of calm and a feeling of great cheer surrounded by great decor and spacious living. The amenities in this home are remarkable-they have thought of all your needs. There are numerous board games, pet toys, books, kitchen supplies, a TV in each bedroom and bathroom amenities you need. The outdoor space is like none other with the best pool area and outdoor dining. The management company was outstanding and so prompt with any question or solving any problems. I would highly recommend this vacation rental for a family or group of friends. It is a piece of heaven!

Great House

We had 6 kids under 12 years old and this house is perfect. They were able to freely run back and forth between the pool and beach while the parents relaxed on the beach . The kitchen is stocked with the essentials and there is plenty of room in the house to spread out. We would definitely book this house again .

Family Fun at Fishlips!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Be Our Guest Vacation Rentals, especially Donna D., was so easy to communicate with before and during our stay. Cape San Blas is a beautiful, “Old Florida” style area which suits our family perfectly! Upon arrival, the automated check-in process worked like a charm. We were greeted by fresh flowers and a personal note. Our rental, Fishlips, was super clean and a great set up for our family with one single adult, six married adults, and a toddler. The fun decor adds so much as we enjoyed meals on the screened porch watching the magnificent sunsets. With a room filled with everything one could ever need (adult and kids) for beach or pool, the days were filled with swimming, walking, kayaking, paddle boarding, and playing on the beach all day only to end with a relaxing swim in the beachside pool. Convenient to shops, restaurants, and grocery stores. All descriptions of the house, amenities and the area given by Be Our Guest were spot on. We will definitely be returning and would happily recommend to family and friends. (Those with physical limitations might find the private beach access difficult at times, depending on what the layout of the beach is on any given day.) Perfect stay for fun family memories!!

Memorable stay at Fishlips on Cape San Blas

The property is a beautiful well appointed home right on the beach. The home had comfortable linens, tons of space, ample supplies for everyone. Tons of beach goods and games, fast internet, and well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. We enjoyed our Christmas holiday although it was cold the first few days due to the unprecedented East Coast cold spell, the house was warm, comfortable and you can’t beat the beautiful ocean view. Once it warmed up we flew kites on the beach, watched dolphins swimming off shore and had fun exploring lighthouses in the area. It was a memorable family vacation.

Wonderful Spot on the Cape!!

Loved staying at Fish Lips. The pool is fantastic and great/easy beach access. Had a blast playing games in the evening while listening to the waves. One day we had an issue with the main floor AC Unit. Called the property manager and they had someone on site who fixed it within 90 minutes. Great service, communication and management. Thanks for a relaxing and fun week!

Overall, a Good Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was nice and had an amazing view of the gulf and beach going south. The porches were amazing! We spent a lot of time on the screened in porch and upstairs porch. The inside was nice. The kitchen had been renovated. The bathrooms need a renovation. They were the only interior part that was a little disappointing. The only negative aspect of the home was the beach. Due to the tide, we did not have a beach front in front of the home. If you wanted to set up chairs and umbrellas, you had to walk about 100 yards down the beach. The other aspect was the tide and water were impacting the only beach access we had. There were a few days that you had to step down about 3 feet from the path to get onto the beach. It was even harder to get back up. I know they can't control the tide or gulf, and it could have just been the time of the month/year that we were there. However, it would have been nice to know when booking. Thankfully, we had the pool since the beach was not a good option due to access. Overall, it was a nice home and amazing views! Not sure if we would ever rent it again due to the beach access.

Fabulous Fishlips!

Our family and friends had a blast at Cape San Blas while staying at Fishlips! The house itself is in an area that is upscale and well-maintained. It is right on the beach, and in perfect position to view the dolphins, and even a couple of surfers! The pool is quite lovely although the weather did not permit swimming. Fishlips was spacious and roomy. The bathrooms were over the top beautiful…lots of hot water always The kitchen was well appointed with tons of space for food prep. We did have some difficulty getting the TV set up and working, but the manager was diligent in working this out for us as soon as possible. We would heartily recommend a stay at Fishlips.

Plenty of detergent for washers, too. The pool is beautiful and the loaded beach gear closet did not disappoint! Thanks for the bear gear credit as well so we could also get bikes and a few more regular beach chairs. Most of the chairs in the closet were more like camping chairs but still loved having plenty! Would stay here again!!

A perfect week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a beautiful week on the cape. Fish Lips is an extraordinary rental. It was perfectly clean and the linens and towels were first rate. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and herbs and spices. Furnishings were comfortable and tasteful. Not garish as I have seen in some rentals on the beach. The finish carpentry work was impressive as well. There was no cutting corners with the building of this house. One of the features we really appreciated was the screened in balcony. At the same level and beside it was an open air area. The best of both worlds!! The upper deck has a great view for as far as you can see. The king sized beds in three of the bedrooms was a big selling point for me. It is as close to the beach as you can get. Really just a few steps and you are there! We had such fun with the kayaks for our more adventurous guests. And the heated pool!!! It was SO nice!! I spent most of my time floating around in it looking up at the palm trees and blue skies. The pool is situated so it is always in the sun and there is a table and chairs that is always in the shade. Again, best of both worlds! We had a glitch or two with the outside bathroom that finally resolved itself after having to turn off the water flow to it for a few days. The rental agency said they would fix it on the turnaround, Also the gas grill leaked propane at the connection between the propane tank and the grill, so we did not have a grill to use. They said they would fix that on the turnaround also. But we went to Port St Joe and bought a charcoal grill to grill our fresh fish! That was a new experience in cooking, so that worked out for us. A great rental by anyone’s standards!!!
