Firefly Beach House

Great Location and Views

Great looking brand new house. Incredible views with beach and bay access.

Relaxing home, very bright and open floorplan

The house was amazing. We have stayed here two years in a row. Great location, great space and very clean.

We rented the home for our first trip to Cape San Blas and were were pleased. We filled the house up as my children are all grown so there ended up being 9 of us but Firefly had a great setup and everyone was comfortable and there were enough full baths. I read some other reviews of it being dirty but we thought it was cleaned well and the location is great. Definitely a bit of a walk to the beach if you are carrying a load but it’s definitely walkable and worked out fine. We would rent it again for sure.

We had a wonderful stay at the Firefly beach house at Cape San Blas. The property met our expectations, and we were pleased by the cleanliness of the home, the ease of check in and check out, and the overall quality of the accommodations. The home was well equipped for our stay, and our family spent a stress free 5 days at the property. We would love to come back to this property, and would recommend this accommodation and coastal Joe to other travelers.

We enjoyed our stay at the Firefly. We loved having access to both the beach and the bay. The house was as we expected, and the check in and check out process was easy and smooth. The WiFi was not very reliable, and the house could use some deep cleaning, but over all, it was neat and clean and just what we needed. We would gladly stay here again.

Overall great stay. Beach was great as it wasn't crowded. The house was wonderful. All of the decks were nice to enjoy both sunrises and sunsets.

We came to Firefly for scalloping season and we had an amazing trip! The house is super close to a boat launch and has easy access to a community pool and the beach. Views from each side were amazing. The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Cape San Blas!

Loved the house layout. Only negative I have is I felt like house could’ve been cleaner. Floors were very dirty and bathrooms were not as clean as I would’ve liked.

The service provided by Barbie and a few others from Coastal Joe was superb. Everyone was friendly and efficient. The Firefly was a very nice property. It was easy to find. It was clean and well-maintained. The views are wonderful. I would readily recommend this house, and might stay there again!

We travel for work and this house was comfortable and clean and had plenty of room for our employees!

Great location and perfect for our family.
Loved watching the sunrise and sunset from either side of the property and we enjoyed easy access to either side of the Cape.
We'll be back!

Went down to the Cape with two of my oldest friends and their wives and had the best time I've ever had in Florida, and I've been going since the 60s. The girls at Coastal Joe Vacation Rentals made the rental process easy as pie! Very attentive to our needs. They communicated very well and were a joy to work with. The accommodations were perfect. Everything you could possibly need was there. Very clean as well. Thanks to the Owners/Hosts for sharing their beautiful home with us. We will be back!

We enjoyed our stay at Firefly. The location on the island was great. The walk to the beach was more difficult than expected, but we got our exercise! Would be difficult for those with mobility issues, or very small children with lots of gear.
The only negative was that the house was not very clean and some items needed repair. Most of the bathrooms were very dirty, the dishes and silverware were dirty (both wet and had food stuck on them), and the dishwasher could not be used. The inside was covered with black mold. Also, the microwave seemed to have a short. It made a very loud pop when turned on. We did make at least 2 or 3 calls to the rental company regarding these issues, but our messages were not returned and when we did speak with someone, the issues were never taken care of. If these had all been fixed, our stay would have been perfect.
We really enjoyed both the front and the back porches to watch the sunrise and sunset. We rode bikes, and enjoyed donuts, ice cream, and some good meals.
Overall, this is a great house in a good location.

Manager's Response

Firefly Beach House was such a beautiful property with views of the ocean from both sides of the house. The beach was just a short walk across the street. The house was bright and very welcoming. I would highly recommend it and can’t wait to visit again.

Freshly renovated and very well done. Walked to the Gulf side and bay side of the peninsula. Wish we could have stayed longer. Very well supplied. Be prepared to use your "phone by wifi" feature. Phone service spotty but the wifi was strong.
