No high rises or commercialization here. It's a very unique beautiful area. Powder white sand beaches on one side and the pristine clear bay on the other. Fishing, boating, scalloping, nature watching & relaxing is what we do here.

Year purchased: 2016
About the host: Ron & Sandie live in Kentucky and visited Cape San Blas years ago and fell in love with the area. Sandie LOVES the beach and one of her favorite pastimes is shelling. They had owned another home on the north Cape we rented for them for 10 years but Sandie wanted to look around at other homes and found "her heart" as she describes it. Tranquil Seclusion has everything that was on her want list. This home is very well maintained and the owners are always making improvements - Sandie purchased some very nice loungers for the deck this year and a few new rugs. Ron loves to improve as well and is very meticulous about his work. This past visit he oiled all the reclaimed wood floors and found a fix for that shutter that always wanted to make noise when the wind blew. and had some landscaping updated. They are both very proud homeowners and it really shows! Bet you will love this home as much as they do, come see us!
Why this property? The owners of Tranquil Seclusion fell in love with this home the first time they saw it. Located in a quiet neighborhood and had all the amenities they were looking for in a home. This home was custom built just 2 years prior and has 2 mini wet bars with ice machines, a 2nd living area, elevator, private pool and more. It was built by one of the best contractors around and is very nicely finished.

Perfect Beach House
We loved everything about the Tranquil Seclusion and Teresa's Beach Homes. The house was beautiful and well stocked with kitchen tools. We had an issue with one of the air conditioners in the house and Terri and Teresa arranged to have it fixed within a few hours.

Excellent Experience and Service
We’ve used Teresa’s Beach Homes for several years to handle our summer beach accommodations. In all that time, we’ve been exceedingly pleased with their professionalism, responsiveness, and customer service! We highly recommend them and plan to continue to use them for years to come.

Relaxing Family Vacation
Tranquil Seclusion is a wonderful home that is well maintained and obviously loved by its owners. We had three generations of family together and immensely enjoyed the screened porches and the pool. The elevator is a bonus and a great help. The boardwalk to the beach is a long walk, but the reward at the end was an uncrowded quiet beach. The owners have provided a cart to help take chairs/umbrellas/etc to the beach — it was greatly appreciated. We have never stayed at this end of the Cape before, but it is a beautiful area. The house was spotless, and we never had any problems or lacked any convenience when preparing meals. Terri was extremely helpful with finding a baby bed rental. We have used Teresa’s Beach Rental’s before and will be staying through them again. Thanks for another great family trip!!

The name fits the house perfectly!
This home was wonderful for our family vacation. We brought our daughters, sons in love, grandchildren and fur baby. The house was spacious, well equipped, and very clean. The littles loved the bunk bed room and the pool, which was very relaxing after a long day at the beach. We didn’t have any issues at all during our stay. Glad I found this place when I googled pet friendly beach houses! We made lots of great memories and hope to come back in the future. Thank you for a great place to stay!

Absolute serenity and perfection - perfect for family, relaxation and beautiful beach
This location is amazing - one of the finest built homes I have ever vacationed in - the screened porches and serenity are a definite 10+. The kitchen was fully stocked and we only had to purchase 1 kitchen utensil for our seafood meal. The icemaker in each bar area was a pleasant perk & made keeping our drinks fresh an ease. The space was perfect for our family to spread out but also areas where we could come together and laugh, eat and enjoy our time. The bedrooms and bathrooms are immaculate and all but one open to a porch area. The pool is gorgeous and has lots of area to play - having the outdoor shower was perfect and kept the sand out of the pool and home. The elevator was a big need and once we paid attention to directions, it worked perfect! The boardwalk is private and very sturdy but it is quite a trek to the beach - not for our younger ones but a little much for us older ones! We just made sure we took everything down on our first trek - they provided a wonderful cart which worked great on the sand The location is perfect as we were 10 minutes in either direction to food, activities or anything needed outside of home Teresa's Beach Homes have always gone above and beyond with any assistance or questions we had - everything from beginning to end was flawless We will visit again & I hope many times

Incredible HOUSE!!
Myself and 11 College friends stayed here in June! Let me say the house was Amazing! Beautifully decorated and plenty of room for all of us! The pool was so much fun and relaxing to have available. We even did splash contests! Teresa’s Beach Homes was the best to work with. I can tell you this, my group has found a rental company for the rest of our trips in the future to the Cape no doubt. Thank you again for making wonderful memories for my college gals! We will be back to celebrate 36th years of friendship!!

Perfect!
This home was lovely, clean, well maintained, tastefully furnished and stocked with everything we needed – and then some. All three generations thoroughly enjoyed the spacious accommodations, wide open beach and welcoming heated private pool. Working with Teresa and Terri couldn’t have been easier. They were always available, and instructions and expectations were clearly communicated. We’ll definitely be back! Norris Family, Atlanta Metro

Perfect fit for our family
We started renting from Ron and Sandie after Hurricane Michael devastated our home we have been staying at for years in Mexico Beach. When we discovered Teresa's Beach Homes, and Met Terri. We knew this would be our new home away from home. We have stayed at a couple other of their homes, but Tranquil Seclusion is the best by far. We felt like we belonged, like we knew this was the one for us going forward. They treat you like family, not like an inconvenience. We declared that this will be the home we come to going forward, and I have to say (family all agreed) the screened in porches are a game changer. Hurricane Laura thought she was going to derail our plans, and she failed. This is by far the most beautiful home you own we have stayed in. Thank you for allowing us to make family memories at your home. Next year, our 1st Grand daughter will be with us. I can not wait to start making family memories with her at Tranquil Seclusion.Thanks again Ron and Sandie and Terri. see you guys next year. The Glass Family from Dayton, Ohio. Kevin, Benita, Jesse, Taylor and Kristina.

BEAUTIFUL!
There are so many great things to say about Tranquil Seclusion, I don't know where to begin! The home is beautifully decorated and so comfortable - everything you need and more. Having a private pool was really nice, especially in the evenings when the kids wanted to swim. And the elevator was a life saver for our 12 year old springer spaniel (and for bringing in luggage and groceries). The owners are extremely attentive and respond promptly if you need anything. I just can't say enough about wonderful this place is. Our family was in love and can't wait to return.

Can’t wait to return
We stayed at this property in September - always a beautiful time to be on the gulf. Not only was this house amazing and exactly as advertised, working with Terri made it even better because of the wonderful resources and info she provides. Despite ongoing hurricane cleanup, we had every thing we needed and wanted for our stay - and the beach was still amazing! We are looking forward to returning so we can see all the continued progress in the area. We’ve been visiting the gulf coast/panhandle area for almost 20 years and this stay/this property was, by far, our favorite!

Fantastic
This home was beautiful & so well appointed! It was obvious that the owners have taken a personal interest in their home . We have rented many homes over the years but this one was so special... from the art, kitchen so well appointed and beautiful pool complete w pool toys! I highly recommend this home for a wonderful vacation. Customer service was outstanding from the moment we rented! We blew a fuse the day we arrived & w/i minutes of my call someone was there to take care of it! 5 stars!

Mary Jane, thank you so much for your wonderful review. The owners of this home are amazing and do a wonderful job to provide a wonderful home that is a breeze to maintain for all of you guests. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you back soon.
Beautiful Home
We've been staying on the Cape for over ten years now and this is the first time staying on the south end. Tranquil Seclusion is a beautiful home in every way. The layout is friendly and it has everything you'll need. The beach cart is very handy! We especially enjoyed the pool. It's nice to have after coming off the beach and still wanting to cool down around dinner time. The gulf water is more brackish, salty and some seaweed / grass, but wasnt a deal breaker. I'd highly recommend the house and Teresa's beach homes. Have exclusively used Teresa's since coming to Cape San Blas and have always been very satisfied in their homes and service.

Wonderful Experience!
The house had everything we needed. We ended up with 6 adults there with plenty of room to feel at home for the week. The extra ice makers and refrigerators were a blessing for food and drinks, we never had to buy ice for the coolers either :) The house is well decorated and perfect for dogs, all the balconies are screened and railed, even the pool area! And there is a nice grassy area outside for the doggies as well, which is sometimes hard to find with a beach house. Over all the house has everything you could think of and then some, the house music speakers were my favorite surprise, just Bluetooth and good to go. We have been using Teresa's Beach homes for years and always have excellent service from them! We would definitely come back, great property!!!

Fabulous Vacation Home
This was our second family vacation to the “Cape” with Theresa’s Beach Homes and they never disappoint. Tranquil Seclusions is a great vacation home for a full family. This home was well planned out for the family vacationer. Beautifully decorated, kitchen well stocked and multiple entertaining areas. Room for the entire family and yet areas to get away as well. Screened in porches allow evening beach views without the bugs. Nice private pool for those red flag days or a morning/evening swim. We loved the quiet end of the beach where this home is located and will certainly plan a return trip!

Wonderful vacation
We have stayed in homes from St. George Island to Gulf Shores for over 25 years and this was by far the best property we have ever rented. The house was more than we ever expected. Every part of the house was so carefully planned and decorated. Everything we could possibly need was there. The beds slept great and the beach side pool was to die for. There was no way to tell that there was a hurricane last year. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking to rent on the Cape.

Excellent Property for the Family
We were immensely impressed with Tranquil Seclusion. It is very well designed with many amenities. We especially enjoyed the screened in porches and large, open kitchen. The private pool is perfectly located for a nice swim after coming in from the beach. Room locations were ideal for our family with the bunk room being on the upper floor and the other adult rooms being on the second floor. The elevator was a huge help with Senior Citizen parents.

Wonderful stay on Cape San Blas
Loved Tranquil Seclusion !!!great location. Wonderful house plan. Lots of room. Terrific views. Pool is amazing after hot trek from beach. Love Live the provided beach cart. Beds are extremely comfortable and the showers are great. Especially the outside one- perfect for washing the pets. Only problem we encountered were the yellow biting flies. Got some bug spray and citronella candles which helped. Kitchen has everything you need. Downstairs small kitchen great the elevator. It was so helpful going from floor to floor. Only thing I would change would be the ocean water- it’s muddy. We love the privacy and it’s not crowded like other places. Very relaxing. Our favorite restaurant is in Mexico beach- Ship Wreck!!

Terrific house!
We have been coming down to the Cape for the past 12 years and have stayed in three different houses. This is our absolute favorite and we will be returning for the third time. This house offers spectacular views and luxury including the pool. The screened balconies are great for watching the stars at night and the stocked kitchen has everything we needed. This house offers total privacy on a beautiful beach with close proximity to lots of scenic towns. There is no place I would rather be!
