Excellent house on the beach. The owners did a great job decorating and keeping the house stocked with kitchen items and beach items/toys. The pool was excellent and perfect for both kids and adults with bench seating - they even cleaned mid-visit. The restroom at ground level at out back was also helpful for rinsing off and keeping tidy.
The grill by the pool was in pretty rough shape and we ran out of propane near the end of our stay and the maintenance crew refused to help. The extra tank they left us near the grill was empty as well.
Everything else about the house was really great. The owners clearly thought out logistics for guests and made it a really awesome place for our family to stay for the week. They had everything we needed there. We brought a lot of our own beach items, but they even had a closet full of beach toys and chairs, kayaks, that would have been nice to know before hand. We also purchased a package of extra items (chairs and umbrellas) that wasn’t needed.

Excellent property. Pool was excellent. Especially on days with weather conditions.

We enjoyed our stay at Coastal Cove very much. The house is perfectly outfitted and maintained. We visited for Thanksgiving and the house took care of every one of our needs or wants. Highly recommend a stay at Coastal Cove.

We loved this place! Money Bayou was easily accessible and was fun for the kids to play in. The beach here is wide and not very populated. The house has everything you need. In fact, it has the best equipped kitchen of anywhere we’ve stayed. The pool was a good size and right on the beach. There was plenty of parking and the landscaping was well done. We would rent this house again!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Coastal Cove. The close proximity to the beach was very convenient and the pool was great. The information provided in the guest portal was very helpful and through. We requested a mid-stay pool cleaning and they came and had it clean within 24 hours. We enjoyed our time and would book with Pristine Properties again.

Home was in a great location with beautiful views. Very peaceful vacation minus the neighbors driving concrete pylons for 3 days. Home was very nicely furnished and decorated. Highly recommend this home!

Overall, we loved the house, but there was a fowl smell outside every evening.

- Posted: 10/15/2022

Thank you for your feedback. What we believe you are probably referring to with the smell in the evenings are outdoor irrigation systems. Our area, especially near the beaches, has a high content of sulfur in the groundwater which can cause a noticeable odor at times.

My family and I had a great stay at this house. It was well kept and comfortable. I appreciated that they had they keep the pool clean during our stay. I'd recommend this house to others.

- Posted: 8/20/2022

The house is absolutely gorgeous! We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. The house is fully stocked with everything you could need. It’s a home away from home. The views are priceless! It’s the perfect location!

- Posted: 4/23/2022

Overall, the house is WONDERFUL! We absolutely loved our stay.

Our family has been coming to the Cape for years just to spend time getting renewed and rested in the Lord and with family. This is the first time we stayed in this home. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation even though the Red Tide was there. The home has a great layout and the beach was right there. Had a cold front come in and pool was too cold to swim. Would be nice it if was heated for those cool fall days! Great home and made great memories!!!

Home is well done. RV lot next door is an interesting issue

- Posted: 11/27/2021

This place was amazing and far exceeded our expectations! They had everything you could possibly need. So much room and was clean! The pool was green when we first arrived. After a phone call, they showed up immediately, even with rainy weather from Ida. It was immaculate within a day. They even came back and vacuumed it. Amazing service, communication and set up! Loved being on the beach, the pool, and the decorative touches that made it so perfect! We were celebrating my grandmother’s 91st birthday. She hadn’t been to the beach in 20 years…it was perfect and we all loved it! Highly recommend!

Right on the beach, great private pool that was great with the kids, Master Bedroom View was fantastic and a really good kitchen with everything you need. The bathroom down by the pool and outdoor shower was a great addition.

- Posted: 8/1/2021

I recommend to any family wanting to enjoy a beach and pool at the same time.

Well, if you could score a rental property 10 stars, Coastal Cove would get it. My wife and I have been coming to the Santa Rosa Beach area for 12 years, renting VRBO properties. We decided to explore the Port St. Joe area as Santa Rosa Beach is getting pretty congested. Well, Coastal Cove was a real find. Unbelievable! First, the house was immaculate. The kitchen was better equipped than any rental we have ever experience, from glasses, to dishes, to flatware, to cooking pots and pans, to storage containers, to even having a crockpot to use, actually two of them. Unbelievable. Then there is a screened in porch for sitting and enjoying the views of the Gulf, and a second screened in porch for eating out and enjoying the views of the Gulf! The pool was great, clean and crystal clear. I love to swim and enjoyed 30 minutes of lap swimming every morning. And the beach? Well, where the rentals along Santa Rosa Beach have a lot of tourists wandering the beach, if we had 12 people walk in front of our rental for an entire day, that was a lot. There is no doubt this rental ranks as Number 1 of all the rentals we have done in Florida. Believe the pictures on the website. They are real and the place is as good if not better than it looks. We can almost guarantee you will enjoy your stay there. We certainly did for the 2 weeks we were there. We still can’t believe we found such a wonderful place on the Gulf.

Great house. Weather was sketchy with hurricane in the Gulf so having the pool was a real save to enjoy the outdoors while the Gulf water was muddy and the wind was ridiculous. Things we wish we’d known for our trip: CONSUMABLES - If you can consume it, you best bring it or buy it local. Available on arival; one complementary roll of toilet paper per bathroom, hotel style soap, one serving of dishwasher soap, dish sponge, one washing of laundry detergent. Bring your own; dishwashing liquid, paper towels, TP, shampoo, spices, cooking oil, coffee filters (size 2 or cone - one of each type machine available), coffee, saran wrap, foil, zip lock bags, laundry detergent, etc. Think ahead. Bath towels and a few wash cloths provided. OUTDOOR FUN - At least a sample of everything available without renting or bringing your own equipment including two one-man kayak’s, beach chairs, umbrella, kids sand toys, pool noodles, a few floats, crab trap, crab dip nets, and fishing pole (reel is shot but good pole). We rented bikes and that was a waste. Beach isn’t that firm and the road is busy. Bikes are fine on 30E toward the Cape which has a paved bike lane but this is not the safest of road stretch to bike. You’ll compete with 40-60 mph traffic. Two lots to the east is a lagoon convenient for catching crabs and bait fish. The beach slopes slowly so 50 yards out is still only waist deep in water. COOKING - Nice double oven with an electric range. Separate ice maker. Don’t expect to load the big cooler with it but does fine for drinks. Two fridges, one in the kitchen and one at beach level in the garage. Nice assortment of mixing bowls, utensils, stainless cookware with glass lids, pull out drawers, knives and eating ware. Wish I’d brought my cast iron skillet. The non stick skillets are ready to trash. Knives are much better than expected. Several cutting boards available. Decent prep space. Several cookie sheets of differing types available. PORCHES - Best we saw along the beach. Three levels and all are deep providing covered space to enjoy the view without exposure to the weather and sun unless that’s what you want. Beach level includes a swing and tables with a shower under the stairs. Main living level includes three porch areas; a center walkway flanked by screened areas for sitting or eating. Glass doors across all so plenty of light. Second floor is open porch with 8 comfortable chairs across the deck. Only the master bedroom has access to the upper porch so traffic must cross the bedroom to reach the deck. With just two of us, we didn’t care. GARAGE - That’s right, not just an open parking area. We were able to park in the garage and avoid the usual covering of salt spray on the car. Forget parking a big truck in the space. Two bays available. Nice circular drive making ingress/egress very easy.

This house was great!! We had a wonderful vacation!

This house was practically perfect in every way! We enjoyed every minute of our stay here! Can’t wait to come back.

- Posted: 7/19/2020

This house is great! Very well stocked with pots, pans and Everything you need to cook! The location couldn’t have been better! We loved Coastal Cove and look forward to returning next summer!

We stay in houses every year and this one exceeded our expectations; well stocked; great view; loved screened in porch

- Posted: 6/28/2020

This house is the best thought out beach house we have stayed in. ( There are many?) From the ice maker, to the pool with a BR they have thought of everything. Even an extra fridge in the pool area. Thank you for a lovely stay! Luann Phillips

Property has everything we were looking for in an excellent location. Other than poor mattress comfort, we rate the property the highest score possible.

- Posted: 6/29/2020

Our only reservation on renting this again is they allow residents to drive on the beach. We have never stayed where they allow this. Not a fan! Otherwise this is spectacular!

Coastal Cove rental property was the best we have ever experienced in visiting the panhandle. We feel in love with the screened in porches and pool!! The late afternoon we would enjoy the top floor balcony for cocktails. The main floor appeared to be brand new and nicely decorated. The kitchen was beautiful with upgrades and plenty of dishes, and pots and pans. The owners did a excellent job stocking the kitchen. Any of our meals that we made here was carried out to the porch to enjoy the view. We are a family of four so we had plenty of room. This is our 1st stay in Indian Pass. We enjoyed the peace & quite with no crowds. The home came with beach gear rental credit, even though we spent more to get additional goodies. That was a nice touch so we didn’t need to pack beach chairs and umbrellas. Coastal Cove was a perfect 10 for us! Thank you so much for offering your home as a vacation rental. We feel in love with it and can’t wait to come back

I have been visiting FL for over 20+ years and I have to say that this was the best house I have ever rented. There are a lot of steps, but that is expected w/ a beach front house. Otherwise, this house had everything you could need. The house was very spacious and very nicely furnished. The screened porches provided a nice area in the evenings when you wanted to avoid the flying pest. The pool area was awesome and provided everything you needed when spending the day at the pool – including a bathroom/shower and refrigerator at the pool level….so you didn’t need to run up and down the upstairs. The house provided ample seating for all guests at the pool area and w/in the house and had a plentiful stock of dishware, silverware and glasses for everyone. This house was easily the most accommodating house I have ever rented for our large family vacation. We unfortunately had a bad run of weather, so we spent a lot of time in the house/pool areas and the accommodations helped offset our bad weather. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!

We just returned from 5 nights at Coastal Cove and loved every minute. My wife and I have been visiting Indian Pass for about 15 years, but my in-laws beach house about 1/2 mile down the beach was damaged by the hurricane, so we rented Coastal Cove. They had just finished their post-hurricane renovations and it was done beautifully. Looks and feels like a new build. We had four adults, four children under 5, and a babysitter. It was the perfect size for us. Very nice to have on-suite bathrooms with all 3 bedrooms upstairs and the bunk room was perfect for the kids. Main level floor plan works well and is very open. We spent a lot of time eating and lounging on the 2 screened in porches. The pool was also very nice when we wanted a break from the beach. The location next to Money Bayou is great for the kids to swim, play, and catch crabs. We also utilized the kayaks to go in-land one day up Money Bayou. Overall, we could not ask for a better house and are looking to book it again for next year.

My family and I spent a wonderful week at Coastal Cove. The pictures of the house do not do it justice. The tile on the first floor has been updated and the entire house is updated and very clean. The kitchen is very well stocked. We loved the screened in porches and the porch swing that looks out on the ocean. The beach is very private and most days we only saw a few other people. I would suggest this house to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing vacation.

- Posted: 5/25/2019

I am a very picky traveler, there is always something a little disappointing. Not here. It is the perfect combination of feeling like a brand new property, and yet incredibly well stocked and thought out. The pictures dont do it justice...I think the furniture in the living area and on the screened in porches were recently updated (nicer that the pictures.) We will for sure be back!

- Posted: 6/15/2019

his was our first time vacationing in this house after spending years at a home down the beach which was damaged in the hurricane. Did not know what to expect but were completely thrilled with the house. Very clean, updated appliances including an ice maker and perfect layout to hold an entire family including small children. Found it well stocked with everything you need. Will definitely make this our new rental when going to Cape San Blas!

- Posted: 8/3/2019

This home was everything we thought and more. It is completely updated and even more so from the pictures. The location is great, the spacious home was nicely decorated, and the view was amazing. The amenities of the home were perfect for our family of 5. the private pool was stunning. Would recommend to anyone looking for nice, private, and beautiful home with direct beach views and access. Kudos to the owners and Prestine Properties for a job well done. We will be back.

- Posted: 9/2/2019

We had an amazing experience staying at Coastal Cove! Very clean, well stocked, and perfect for our family vacation. The location is convenient to both Cape San Blas & Port St. Joe as well. The private pool was a huge hit with our family, and it was just a short walk to the beach. If you are looking for a great place to relax without the crowds of other locations, this is a perfect spot.

I can't say enough good things about this property, its location, and the property management company we worked with. My family has been using VRBO for years for our vacations, and never been disappointed and this year is no different. I will say this property is at the top of the list of all the properties we have stayed at. If you book this property, you will not be disappointed!! Things we liked: - beautifully maintained property just steps from the beach - Management Company was excellent to deal with - Pool was great to have when you are all beached out - Home has a lot of room for 10 people - Kitchen is well stocked - We enjoyed the 2 screened-in porches more than we thought we would - The ocean view from the home is amazing - The beach is amazing and NOT busy - felt we had the entire beach to ourselves - You can walk for miles on the beach - Property is close to town - Everyone is so friendly! - Beds were very comfortable - There were just enough bathrooms for 10 people - The home is built solid, so never heard anyone walking around if they got up early in the morning - I could keep going, but I am sure you get the idea that we LOVED this property! Things we didn't like: - NOTHING!!! Thank you....we WILL be back!

- Posted: 8/27/2019

This house had everything we needed to make our week perfect. Not only was it clean and ready to enjoy...it had things we didn't anticipate needing, but found as we looked around. The pool was perfect when we wanted to take a break from the beautiful beach. The third floor balcony was our favorite way to relax at the end of a perfect day!! We will be back:)

- Posted: 8/24/2019

Great property with wonderful views. The beach almost seemed to be private with only a couple other groups within 400 yards of our beach site. Turtle nest was directly behind the property, on the beach. Nice pool to relax in as well. Definitely would recommend this property.

- Posted: 8/13/2019

We could not have asked for a better house. All my expectations of the house were met perfectly. The house was clean and pool was nice. My whole family enjoyed their experience.

I love the place. Wonderful views from different areas of the home. Peaceful and quiet. Kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and other items. Thank you for sharing your home.
