Family Beach Trip

Excellent experience! The unit is beautifully decorated, homey, spacious, and has wonderful views! It’s a super easy walk to the beach off the back deck. The kitchen had everything we needed and then some. The cute window seat with beach views was a special bonus. The super loft is awesome and was perfect for our kids!! I hope we can visit again soon.

Chips Ahoy is a wonderful place to stay. It is beachfront, beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a beach vacation. The kitchen is well stocked and they even have beach chairs, umbrellas and beach toys. It is also pet friendly which is a huge bonus. I would live hear!

Coast is clear

We were very apprehensive about our week post Hurricane Helene. The host did a wonderful job keeping us updated and getting the house ready after the storm. We were able to spend a beautiful week at CSB and the host’s check in tips/suggestions were very helpful. The kids loved the upstairs room.

Absolutely Perfect

The location and views are both perfect. Its beach side and the master bedroom looks out over the beach. You couldnt be any closer. Both our girls absolutely loved the children's loft bedroom on the upper floor. And the cleanliness was great. About the only thing we could possibly critique is that the community turns on their sprinkler system at around 9am, which is the same time you are trying to pack your car and leave. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Stay

We stayed at Chips Ahoy this past weekend. It was a beautiful townhome. It was super clean and very comfortable. Even the twin beds slept great. There were chairs and beach buggy to use along with beach toys. The kids loved it. The beach and pool were both great. I bet it is the nicest home on the property!!! Loved it and would go back any time. I would even say it is the nicest property I have ever rented off of VRBO.

Amazing stay in a beautiful place!

We just returned from an amazing week in a beautiful condo (Chips Ahoy) on one of the most magical beaches we've ever been! We think of the Cape as this magical hidden gem and Chips Ahoy offered a fantastic accommodation while we were there. The condo is updated, beautiful, clean and full of thoughtful amenities. Furthering the positive experience, the folks at Happy Toes Vacation Rentals that manage the property were terrific throughout the process of finding, booking & enjoying our stay! At the end of the week, not only did we want to stay longer, we were ready to move in!!!

A perfect beachfront get away.

Chips Ahoy is wonderful. Great location (steps away from gorgeous white sand beach!) The views from both porches are stunning. The unit is nicely appointed and updated. The kids loft was a perfect get away for our two after spending day at beach and pools! Cape San Blas is truly a treasure. If you are looking for a get away similar to what you'd find on 30A at a FRACTION of the cost and crowd - Cape San Blas is perfect. We will definitely be back.

Re Re

We loved your town house! It was beautiful, clean, modern, and just an over all great beach design. The townhouse was even prettier in person. We loved the upper level deck beach view especially when the sun sets. We were so happy to be able to bring our furry friend with us, she loves the beach. We also loved the ice-maker, perfect. We only stayed for a long weekend but certainly will come back for a full week. Wish we were still there.

Great Stay!

We had a great time at Chips Ahoy. The house was right on the beach; you could take one of two boardwalks to the beach, each less than a minute walk from the door to the water. The beds were comfortable, and the master shower was great. The neighborhood was wonderful (fishing ponds, playground, nice neighbors, lots of dogs, two pools- one heated and one not). It all felt very safe and laid back. The house had everything we needed, including beach/pool toys, a wagon, chairs, etc. The kitchen was fully stocked. The renovations/furnishings were very nice. The only things I would suggest changing- some areas could've been cleaner. The master shower definitely needed a good scrubbing- lots of mold and mildew. We found several food items in drawers (a soda can, a partially eaten waffle, and a yogurt tube). The dryer did not work well- I had to dry even the smallest loads twice. The master balcony could use some shade as it is not covered (maybe an umbrella or something similar?). The view from the main floor balcony was obstructed by bushes. It would be nice for those to be trimmed down if possible, but I know sometimes these provide a habitat/erosion control.Overall, we had a great time and will definitely stay here again!

Comfortable, Beautiful, Well Stocked Beachfront Retreat!

My family and I can't say enough wonderful things about our time at Chip's Ahoy. The living space, which overlooks the dunes and ocean, had 2 large sofas, 2 chairs as well as a large eating space and cozy window seat. The kitchen was the most well stocked kitchen I have ever come across (we could have been there for 2 weeks and still not used all of the dishes!) and all of the bedrooms had seating options as well as comfortable beds with layers of bedding. One of the things I appreciated the most is how clean the space was. Maybe the most clean house we've ever rented at the beach! Also appreciated the well stocked beach closet and the ease of access to the beach. We'll be back for sure! Thank you for sharing this gem with us!!

Get this one!

We have stayed at Barrier Dunes two times in the past in two different units. When our "usual" places were booked I found Chips Ahoy and holy cow am I glad! This unit is amazing! It is totally updated down to the faucet hardware. Extras that made it very welcoming just to name a few: built in ice maker, actual comfortable furniture, updated appliances, nice cable selection as well as Netflix. I cannot speak enough about this unit. It was so nice to stay in a condo where the owner obviously enjoys investing in the place. Cindy was great, super easy to communicate with and made the whole process seamless. This is where you want to stay in Barrier Dunes!
