Turn the air to 75/76 after you have turned it down. Wants you to leave the house immaculate.. But no cleaning supplies. I didn’t pay to clean the house when I left. Surely cleaning was included in the fee! Read their rules carefully before you accept."

100 STEPS TO BEACH — RENOVATED 2BR/2BA PET FRIENDLY CONDO AT CAPE SAN BLAS!

10/10 Excellent
"If you are looking for an easy, convenient, clean and tidy place close to the beach, this will fulfill your needs easily! We have been coming to the Cape for years and this was a lovely, and convenient location for us. Emily is an amazing host, who was very easy to book with, get in touch with if we needed anything, and she was a delight to deal with throughout. We were looking for a dog friendly accommodation and Emily has set her condo up to have pets. Her condo is incredibly clean and tidy and we all loved our stay. Easy, quick access to the beach from the condo, and she also has a good selection of beach items to use while staying (we brought our own) If you know the Cape - you are close to Scallop Cove for convenience and items you may have forgotten. We didn't need a massive beach place for simply my wife and I and our guests, this place worked perfectly for us. The only word to the wise is that I will say is that this is a condo with potential guests above you, and these condos have paper thin walls and floors. So, simply get to know the other guests and you'll be absolutely fine! If you need a quick getaway to the Cape and have a smaller party - look no further - you'll love it."

"We didn't realize this "apartment" was actually part of a family home, so that was odd for us. However, the space fit us 2 just fine, the bed was comfortable, and the surrounding area was lovely. When you're out of the neighborhood (which is a bunch of single family homes, not very "resort" like), you can enjoy the pool and direct access to the beach. We had a lot of gear to wash after beach adventures and this property had a hose, outdoor shower, and plenty of space to dry all of our stuff. The host was great and helpful. If you're looking for a very reasonably priced place to stay that checks the essentials boxes this will work for you."
