![]() "Thomas Dyer, August 2007 I received your letter and check today. Thanks for the quick turn around. Let me tell you that we had a great time. The Cape exceeded my expectations. What a wonderful area full of nature. Everything we enjoyed, the beach, kayaking, boating , marine life, great food and the locals were all so friendly and helpful. I've been tryng to figure a way to obtain a place down there since we left. Anyway, we will definitely return. We saw a Bald Eagle while kayaking. It was fighting with a Hawk in the air over our heads and dropped a fish. I dubbed it the luckiest fish alive. Anyway, it was an awesome sight. We did the horseback riding on the beach--something I've always wanted to do. We rented a boat and saw an abundance of marine life: dolphins, stingrays, huge jellyfish etc. St. Joseph State Park was beautiful, unspoiled . We were the only ones on the beach and it was very romantic. I could go on, but you already know how great it is. We will be back for sure. Oh yeah, we were out to eat at Sunset Coastal Grill and a prominent local business man saw our car which had "just married" on it and he bought our entire dinner that evening. It was one of the nicest things ever! His name was Mr. Rish--we met him and talked for a while. It was a very kind thing to do and something I will always remember.

We have stayed in other "condo" situations and this is far and away the best. We updated menus for a few places in your Guest Information Book. Gabby, Charlie & tax had a ball at the beach. It was a great and relaxing week! Lee Ann and Chuck August 2005 From The Cape Escape Guest Book" - Lee Ann and Chuck, , 12/08/05 (inquire/book) "The Cape Escape I ahs been perfect! Yor home has truly been an "escape" for us too! We've decided unanomously that our time on Cape San Blas has been the best vacation ever! The beach was great and the weather could not have been better. Got waves yesterday with Wilma approaching. Had a great day on the bay in a rental boat (thaks for the recommendation Wendy!) and saw amazing wildlife (bald eagles, deer, etc). Scout, our golden retriever, could not have been happier during our stay! he is officially a beach loving dog and he took to the boat like he was on it every day :-)! All of the extra's you have for your guests (2 & 4 legged) have made our stay very relaxing. Thank you again and I'm sure we'll be back! Jerry, Debby, Harper, Carter and Scout From our Guestbook" - Jerry, Debby, Harper & Carter, Cumming, GA, 10/23/05 (inquire/book) "Wendy, We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing vacation! Lee Ann, the "Oreo" crew (Gabby, Tex, and Charlie our standard poodles) and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The beach was beautiful and the Cape Escape 1 was terrific. You have thought of everything to make a vacation complete. We added restaurant tips in your Comment Book and overall thoughts in your Guest Book. Thanks for a wonderful time and we hope to return to the Cape soon. Chuck and Lee Ann" - Chuck and Lee Ann, Prattville, AL, 08/29/05 (inquire/book) ![]() "Wendy, We had a great time at Cape Escape. You guys have done a fantastic job in making sure that we had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. It was just what we needed as far as having fun and relaxing without any stress. The golf, fishing going to the beach with our dog,Max,and watching sunsets which were incredible. The fresh seafood we prepared and also had at the many places we visited was very good. We will be returning in the future. Thank you for allowing us the use of your beautiful condo and having Max with us made the trip even more fun. Lynn, Richard,Scott and Max." - Lynn Kelley, Fayetteville,Ga., 07/07/05 (inquire/book) "Thanks Wendy, your condo was very nice. The pictures don’t do it justice. All the extras were appreciated. I will send some pictures soon. Our dog Pete loved chasing crabs on the beach. I think that was the best part of the trip. By the end of the week he had become a pro. Thanks you again for allowing us the use of your pet friendly condo. Liz & Ken Lafayette, LA " - Anonymous, Lafayette, LA, 06/22/05 (inquire/book) "It seems every vacation at the Cape gets better. The townhouse was as erpfect as the weather. There is a real "community" feel at Barrier Dunes. The only downside is having to wait till next year to return! Gracie still dreams of chasing seagulls off her beach! In 30 years I have never stayed at a more well equiped vacation home, Thanks!" - Lynn Russell, Kentucky, 06/17/05 (inquire/book) "Wendy, It was nice meeting you. We had a good trip home but did not want to leave the Cape. It was truly beautiful. It was also more relaxing than our past vacations. The kids loved the beach and the pool and we all had a wonderful time. The sunsets on the cape are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Thank you for being prompt in returning our deposit and for sharing your lovely beach home with our family. Our dog Smokey also had a great time. We are sending a few pictures of our kids and a sunset at the beach. We look forward to coming back again next year and will recomend you to others interested in visiting paradise. Thank you, The Hunts. Kris,Christina,Kiley,Lance,& Smokey " - Kris and Christina H., Golden, IL, 05/17/05 (inquire/book) "We visited the Cape Escape II over Easter 2005 and everything was WONDERFUL! From the gorgeous condo to the amazing beach to the great pools to the friendly guests and residents to ALL the MANY extra touches of home that are included. Our daughter was asking to come back again next year on the second day!! We saw dolphins, went crabbing and walked for miles on the beach. The sunsets were breathtaking! It was truly a relaxing slice of paradise and we are looking forward to our trip back next Easter. Wendy was the friendliest, most accomodating and best owner we have ever worked with. The entire vacation was a wonderful memory! Thanks for everything!" - Melissa S., Avon. New York, 05/16/05 (inquire/book) ![]() "Wendy, we had a great time there. The only "downside" was persistent wind, 10-25 mph. No real rain to speak of, which was great, but the windiness on the beach and the temps in the low 70s made swimming a brisk experience. We rented kayaks from Happy Ours on the bay and wound up having to walk the boats back because it was too windy to paddle back! But those are minor complaints. Mother Nature is the boss. We all were very impressed with The Cape Escape unit. Beautiful, comfortable, and you were so well organized and thoughtful in what "amenities" you provided that it was a pleasure being there. We grew to be quite fearful of the "sensitive blinds" though [only kidding, but I bet that design didn't win lots of prizes for reliability or durability!]. Lots of relaxing hours on the beach. The beach cart helped a lot. Gorged ourselves on oysters, shrimp and scallops. My wife Robin left some written comments in the guest book, including dining out experiences too (I believe). We even got to drive through the Sopchoppy Worm Gruntin' Festival on the way back to the Tallahassee airport! Talk about down home! All in all, an excellent vacation experience which we would repeat. Thanks for the deposit return; we tried to treat your beach home with care and respect. Thanks again. John R. " - John R., Haslett, MI, 04/11/05 (inquire/book) "Wendy, I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your condo. Our oldest son is 12. We have been doing Spring Break in Florida at least seven years. I can honestly say of ALL the places we have stayed, yours is BY FAR the nicest. No one could put more thought into the things needed at the beach than you have. My wife wanted to pack up your king-size bed. Lucky for you it wouldn't fit in the car! I cannot begin to indicate all the thoughtful touches you have put into the "comforts" in your place. Let me say that All the things you do make a difference. Thanks so much for sharing your place, Gary S. " - Anonymous, Indianapolis, IN, 04/05/05 (inquire/book) "A nice getaway from Wisconsin cold and snow--condo worked out well for us! Tennis courts were in great shape, people were friendly and fun to be with. The Raw Bar was good--an interestng place. Sunset grill--a nice place for "grown-ups". Pizza at Beachcombers was great! Nice meeting you wendy--have a great 2005! Jeanette and Bill Wisconsin January 2005" - Jeanette and Bill, Waunaki, WI, 03/21/05 (inquire/book) "What a wonderful week that flew by! Our first visit to The Cape in October--what a pleasant surprise--great weather and empty beaches! Wendy and John--a big THANK YOU for all the extra's you have provided for our stay. All we really needed to bring was the clothes on our backs and a quick stop at "The Pig". We have stayed at Barrier Dunes many times in the past and your Cape Escape is the best! Even thought we are headed back to Tennessee in the morning, we are already planning our return to the Cape! From The Cape Escape Guest Book" - Larry and Suzanne, Maryville,TN USA, 03/15/05 (inquire/book) "Dear John and Wendy, A nice, cozy, comfortable home away from home! Enjoyed walks on the beach, nature walks and all the fresh shrimp we could! Ate a lot of lunch out and collectied some more menus for our Guest Book at The Cape Escape. The golf was great! Playing golf in February is something we can't do on our Cape (Cape Cod)--especially ithis year with all the snow up there! R & C Cape Cod, MA (From The Cape Escape Guest Book--Guests from January 30 to March 5, 2005)" - R & C, Cape Cod, MA, 03/05/05 (inquire/book) ![]() "Wendy: We had a great time at your place, on the beach and at the bay! Abby, Colby and Kali loved it all and made a few friends while we were there. Abby, the 3/4 Dalmatian, was not nearly has enthralled with the waves, as Colby & Kali (the labs), of course, but she enjoyed the birds and would have chased a few down, if I'd have allowed her to do that. You have a lovely place......I loved the blue color and all of our needs were met. We hope to return to Cape San Blas when the weather is much warmer. All of our trips have been in the cooler months of the year, so far. Thank you, Lucy " - Lucy B., Murphreesboro, TN, 01/03/05 (inquire/book) "Wendy, We just returned from Christmas at the Cape. We had a wonderful time, though the weather was a bit chilly at times. The Cape is an absolutely beautiful place. The condo had everyting we needed. My dog Dusty loved going for walks on the beach. I can't wait to go back. Thanks Wendy! Krista" - Krista Malloy, Nashville, TN, 12/28/04 (inquire/book) "In an email received after a December stay: Wendy, We had a enjoyable and relaxing stay at the Cape Escape and hope to return again when the weather is warmer.

We had an absolute BLAST on vacation!!! The weather was gorgeous, the beach sugar-white and your home is just lovely. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you so much for all of the extras!!! I think this is the first time we've gone on vacation and felt totally at home. I adore the guest book and all of the additional local information that was provided. We made our restaurant choices based on those reviews! Thank you again. Dario is now officially a spoiled beach dog. Seeing him run off leash and have the time of his life on the beach was the best! Steve, Dario and I had a WONDERFUL and relaxing week. This was the perfect getaway - thank you for sharing your beautiful home w/us!

Our boys had a good time too! We look forward to returning often! Thank you for sharing your lovely beach house! Warmest Regards, Nancy and Jim Tampa P.S. Merry Christmas (In The Cape Escape Guest Book!)" - Nancy and Jim S, Tampa, FL, 12/01/04 (inquire/book) ![]() "Received via email after a long Fall weekend at The Cape Escape: Wendy, it was great, the weather was perfect, long walks on the beach, Cathy beat me in tennis etc. etc.. Your place was great, very comfortable and clean. Thank you for making your Cape Escape a convenient, affordable, pet friendly (yeah!) and most pleasant place to be! Thanks for a good time. FG P.S. OUr favorite restaurant--Papa Joes' in Applachicola. Also, Indian Pass Raw Bar--if you can get Gator to shuck a few oysters! Had Chineese food in Port St. Joe because nothing was open that Sunday night--we don't recommend it! Oh--the sandflies were on vacation--no problem for us! " - Fritz G, Colorado, 11/22/04 (inquire/book) "An Emai from Susanne & Larry after returning from The Cape Escape: Wendy, we had a FABULOUS time. The weather was perfect, your place was perfect. We did not, did not want to come home. Never been in October, but now will plan on going every October. Larry's new resolution is 2 trips to the beach each year. Will let you know when to put us down for next. We will definitely go back to the CapeEscape. You have done a beautiful job anticipating your guests needs. The only suggestions I would make is to remind people to bring insect repellent for those lovely mosquitos, and to include on your instruction sheet on the refrig. that the beach supplies are in the guest closet. Since we didn't use that room, I didn't look in the closet, couldn't find them, and almost called you before I read in the notebook toward the end that they were in the closet. Again, thanks for a wonderful time. We are raking leaves today and suffering major beach withdrawal. BAA HUMBUG! Susanne " - Susanne & Larry, Maryville, TN, 10/23/04 (inquire/book) "Oct. 11, 2004 We had a great time at the Cape Escape; our daughter and her two friends spent practically the entire weekend at the beach. With all the equipment the Jacksons provided (from boogie boards to shovels and pails for sand castles), we lacked for nothing. We will be back for sure." - Karen Broomfield, Lawrenceville, GA, 10/18/04 (inquire/book) "July 30, 2004 Wendy & John, Thank you for allowing us to share this place for a week. It has been wonderful.

We don't want to leave!" - Anonymous, 10/07/04 (inquire/book) "Thanks for sharing your beautiful vacation home with us. We loved the seclusion and natural surroundings of the complex.

We didn't need anything, all was provided and then some. The beach is the most beautiful beach I have ever been to. (And I'm a born and raised Floridian!) It was a perfect family vacation...we swam, fished, snorkeled, boogie boarded, body surfed, collected shells, watched unbelievable sunsets, played games, tennis, and all from the convenience of our vacation home. John and Wendy, we would like to congratulate you....you have a great place to vacation and you are wonderful to work with. Thank-you! We look forward to next year.

Paul and Rachel Richmond, KY " - Paul and Rachel, Richmond, KY, 08/28/04 (inquire/book) "My husband and I were in a pinch to book a dog-friendly vacation home at the last minute to use our time off from work. Wendy was amzingly swift in getting us all the necessary paperwork and info so that we could confirm the reservation and payments (using the Internet the whole process took less than 3 hours). When we arrived, my husband and I agreed that the photos on the VRBO website do not do this condo justice. The vacation home is large, clean, well-decorated and just plain relaxing and comfortable. It took us about 2 minutes to walk with our dogs each morning to one of the most gorgeous beaches I have ever seen. A large storm came through one of the nights we were there and Wendy called the house to check on us. Truly a lovely beach home owned by a lovely family. We spent the most relaxing week of our lives there and we will definitely go back again!" - Jessica Adams, 08/26/04 (inquire/book) ![]() "Just wanted to tell anyone considering this area and condo that it is beautiful.
