We have stayed at Sweet Necessity and Good Fortune multiple times and we can't wait to go again! The Cape has become our favorite place to vacation and we love that we can take our entire family - including our dogs! It's hard to find a place that is so accommodating with your furry family members, but Carrie has been wonderful since the first time we stayed at Sweet Necessity and every stay in between. The view is unmatched, the amenities are just what you need. The elevator is extremely convenient. Carrie is a great communicator and is always concerned about our stay and making sure we have everything we need. We have had very few issues throughout the years and any thing that has come up has been addressed by Carrie. Can't recommend her enough as a host!
Shanda,Thank you so much for your kind words and for being such loyal guests at both Sweet Necessity and Good Fortune! It’s wonderful to hear that Cape San Blas has become your favorite getaway and that your whole family — pups included — feels right at home here. I truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback and your trust over the years. It’s always a joy to host you, and I look forward to welcoming you back for many more relaxing stays on the Cape! Carrie
We had an amazing vacation on Cape San Blas. Carrie opened up her beautiful home to my family last week. She is so caring and wonderful to work with. The house is everything the photos show. There is a large stocked kitchen with a table large enough for your entire family. Our grandchildren had a blast at the beach and loved the private pool. The house had beach towels and beach chairs available at the house.
Gina, Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a great vacation on Cape San Blas. It means a lot to know that the house was a comfortable and fun place for everyone—from beach days to pool time to gathering around the big table for meals. I'm happy the grandchildren had a blast! You were a pleasure to host, and I’d love to welcome you back anytime. Carrie
This was the 2nd time we have stayed at Sweet Necessity. My family loves it there. No issues with the home except for the kitchen sink was hard to turn off from dripping, but that was no big deal.
Hi Cindy, Thank you for choosing to stay at Sweet Necessity again. Yes, there is a sweet spot where the faucet handle needs to be precisely placed for it to fully turn off. We had a plumber look at it the week before your arrival, and he had to order parts for the repair. We are waiting for the parts to arrive and will get that drip to stopped as soon as we can. Carrie
Thank you Carrie for opening up your loving home to us! We had a great time in the pool, walking the beach each night and taking in the beautiful sunsets! The house is setup perfect for families and extended family groups. We can’t wait to find another time to come down!
Lichtenstein Family, I'm so happy you enjoyed your Spring Break week at Sweet Necessity. I was thrilled that it worked out for you to stay at our home and I hope to welcome you back to the Cape again soon. Carrie
We have stayed here multiple times, and it is exactly as listed! Beautiful, spacious, inviting, super clean and has everything you could imagine! The location is perfect! The ocean view is stunning! The pool is wonderful! The home is beautifully decorated! We love the added bonus of beach chairs and beach towels for the guests to use. Hands down, the very best home we’ve stayed at, on the Cape. Carrie makes sure your stay is top notch, and checks in to make certain your needs are met. Our favorite part of vacation is traveling and sharing our beach week with our Golden Retriever fur babies! We are so grateful Sweet Necessity is dog friendly! Many thanks to Carrie and her team! Can’t wait to return! The Watkins Family and Gigi 🐾
Watkins Family and Gigi, It's always a pleasure welcoming you back to Cape San Blas. I'm so happy that you enjoy staying at Sweet Necessity. We look forward to hosting you again soon! Carrie
Sweet Necessity is a large, beautiful and well maintained home. There were 10 adults in our group and we had more than enough room. The house had every utensil and appliance you could need in the kitchen., The beach chairs and games provided were in excellent condition. This is our 5th time to the Cape and by far the nicest house and most responsive and easy rental company. Thank you Caroline! We had a wonderful time and hope to return soon.
Mindy, I am so happy you enjoyed staying at Sweet Necessity! It was my pleasure welcoming you and your family to our home. I look forward to welcoming you back to the Cape again soon. Carrie
We have stayed at Sweet Necessity for the past 3 years and will be returning to one of Cape San Blas Get Away homes in 2025. This house is perfect for our family and pets. The home is stocked with everything you could possibly need from kitchen supplies, beach towels, dog towels and beach chairs. We love the pool with the tanning ledge and my granddaughter enjoys the shallow end. Carrie is a super star and always checks in to make sure all is ok upon check-in and her crew is amazing should any issue arise. The beach is so beautiful in this area. Can't wait to return next year!
Terrie, It is always a pleasure to have you and your family staying at our home. There is no greater compliment than a family that returns to my home year after year. I do have a pretty amazing team! Thanks again for staying at Sweet Necessity and I look forward to welcoming you back in 2025. Carrie
This house was even better than the pictures make it look! My husband and I , along with his sister and our brother-in-law brought our four adult kids and their significant others (and one toddler) for the week to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. The layout of this gorgeous house provided comfortable space for all 13 of us for a fun-filled week of making great family memories! Days were spent at the beautiful beach and the pool, resting in the shade on the porches with amazing views, taking turns cooking meals in the INCREDIBLY well-stocked kitchen, and playing games around the huge table that fit all of us! We truly could not have asked for anything more. Carrie is the most helpful and responsive person we've ever rented from. Her thoughtfulness shows in everything in this house and I can't recommend Sweet Necessity enough. Thanks for providing such a wonderful space for us to enjoy our week!
Ellen! Happy 30th Anniversary! I was thrilled and honored that you chose to celebrate at Sweet Necessity and that the home worked for your family gathering. Cheers to another 30 happy years! Carrie
This was the second year for our whole family at Sweet Necessity — my wife and I, plus our two daughters and their families. A total of 6 adults and 6 young children. Sweet Necessity is a great house for a large group like ours! Not only is it a large house but the setup is great. Professionally decorated and every bedroom is very nice. Kitchen has everything you need to cook up nice meals. Two refrigerators. Two dishwashers. A large table that easily accommodated our group of 12 for meals. And all the beach setups you will need for the week -- chairs, umbrellas, kids sand toys. Carrie has thought of everything. Our family would highly recommend this special property. It is even nicer than the pictures indicate. It was a super week making another year of family memories!
Jim, Family time together is so important and I am honored that you chose to spend your beach week at Sweet Necessity. It's so nice to hear that the home works well for your family of 12 as we put a lot of thought into the design. I look forward to welcoming your family back to Sweet Necessity again in 2025. Carrie
This marked our fourth year of enjoying family vacations after years of my wife prompting me to make it happen. Each year I look for different rental properties that will accommodate 12, plus a little extra room. Sweet Necessity filled all our needs and more! This home is so beautiful and spacious, the grands loved the pool and of course the beach which was never crowded. I would highly recommend this unique property, it far exceeded what we expected. The pictures didn't do it justice. We enjoyed a terrific week and we'll treasure another year of family memories!
Terry, I'm so happy you enjoyed staying at our home. Family time is so important and I'm thrilled you chose to spend this year at Sweet Necessity. Carrie

Our family lives in Atlanta, Georgia. We love visiting Cape San Blas, Florida. The relaxed atmosphere and beauty of the area keep us coming back year after year.
I will be managing your stay at Good Fortune and can be a bit of a perfectionist. That's a bonus for you, as I promise that I will do all I can to make your time at Cape San Blas absolutely wonderful.
