5 stars for Stealin' Sunshine

Great beach house in an awesome location. It’s just steps to the beach, which made going back and forth incredibly easy. The house is spacious with plenty of room and lots of parking. The elevator was a huge help for luggage, groceries, and especially our disabled dog. Our favorite spot was the third-floor screened deck — perfect for relaxing and watching the sunset. The heated pool was a great bonus, and we really appreciated that the property is dog-friendly since we travel with dogs. Overall, a fantastic place to stay. We’ve stayed here multiple times and plan to come back again.

Great Beach House

Our family of 8 adults and 3 children had a great time at Stealin’ Sunshine. Loved the location. The house was clean and we had plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. It was an easy 2 minute walk to the beach. We also enjoyed the pool when everyone was done at the beach. We will definitely be back if I can get the whole family together next year.

Great time on Cape San Blas

We had a great stay at Stealin Sunshine on the northern end of Cape San Blas. Property was a short walk to the beach and had everything you need in a rental property for 4 couples. The beach was not crowded at all and the outdoor shower was great for rinsing off after a day in the sand and surf. The pool was great for a small group and plenty of space to chill while taking a break from the beach

This house is amazing!!! Truly suited for a great family stay. My husband and I stayed for just a quick getaway and scope out for summer 2025 family reunion and it met ALL my expectations. The owner is such a pleasure to work with! I could not ask for more, except to not take my week in the summer😉

Booking Again for 2026!!

This will be our 4th year to stay at Stealin' Sunshine (Our 6th year on Cape San Blas). Hands down Stealin' Sunshine is in the best location. Short walk to the beach on a private cul de sac. The other families that share this location will become your friends because it is really just you and them. As for the house.......... it has everything you need and it is clean! The owners are amazing and always respond promptly to any requests. You will not be disappointed in this house. Oh! and the pool is bigger than most.

Great location with relaxing pool

Spent a week here over the 4th and was very happy with the location and having the private pool. Plenty of room for family of 6 with beds and baths. Also loved eating outside on the screen in porch daily. Great communication throughout the stay and prior too. We lost water one morning, but sounds like that is somewhat "normal" in the cape. However, fast communication by owner and was only out for like 1 hour so no impact. Loved that the house was also dog friendly and wouldn't be able to tell by how clean the house was when we arrived that they allowed dogs.

Adult Spring Break

The location of the house is absolutely perfect. Such an easy walk to the beach. Every spot of the house was super clean and comfortable. The check in process was super simple. There was a super cute restaurant directly across the street that we walked to. Hunt’s restaurant is also a great restaurant to go too. The weather was perfect for us. The host was extremely easy to get ahold of before we got there if we needed. We will for sure keep this house in our favorites for future trips. We had the best time and thank you for hosting us.

Cape San Blas

The house is beautiful and clean! It was so nice to have a pool to ourselves. Great for small children! The beach was very private and beautiful. The beach is close to the house, however there is a pretty large hill from the walkway down to the beach. We were a group of adults 55-35 and children 7-3, for us this wasn’t an issue but I could see it being a problem for older people.

Beaches were beautiful, weather was great, beach house accommodations were great. The kitchen well stocked. Our favorite spot were the 2 porches with the comfortable furnishings and the view of the ocean. Highly recommend Stealin' Sunshine. The owners are very nice and made it easy from the beginning of reserving the house to the end...and of course the the kids enjoyed the private pool. We will be back!!!

Beautiful!

The facilities and stay was amazing! We had consistent thunderstorms that cut outside activities down considerably and these accommodations more than made up for the spotty weather. It's a well thought out floor plan and amenities that go there extra mile in creature comforts - from check-in and out to beach towels ready to go. Even if and when there are issues beyond anyone's control, Dan was amazingly responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

Wow! What a place!

This was an amazing family vacation! Everything was seamless from entry to the house, use of all the accessories in the house/outside. The area was just pure peace and tranquility. The pace of the cape is very slow and very quiet. The beach was absolutely beautiful, soft, clean, and amazing for sea shells. We will definitely be back to steal more of the sunshine! Daniel also was extremely easy to work with and communicate with.
