Ooh La La

Fabulous Spring Break Week - with 3 families

"Gorgeous house with beautiful views of the gulf. Nicely decorated and clean and spacious. We loved our own private pool, hot tub, fenced in backyard, fabulous fire pit area, and path that leads to the gulf/beach. It was perfect for our 3 families (3 couples + 5 children -aged 15-23 and a dog). We loved that there were three bedrooms with king beds and dressers for clothes in each of these. One had a private bathroom attached. And there were lots of additional bathrooms. The two bedrooms for the kids were great for sleeping, but didn't have any room to put their clothes. In the two queen bedroom, it would be nice to replace the chair in the middle with a little dresser for their clothes. We had 3 boys share the (6 beds) bunk bed room. It worked since they each had an additional bed to store all of their clothes. But not sure how it would work if there were actually 6 people in that room. All the beds were comfortable. We were very pleased. Parking was limited. The two vehicles parked one in front of the other worked well. It was the 3rd vehicle we had to work at getting it to fit. The pool was fabulous and a great size! We opted for it to be heated. It was so nice to be able to switch back and forth between being in the pool and enjoying the beach. It was a nice little walk to the beach on our private walkway. However, it would be hard for people who struggle with steps or walking down hills to get to the beach. But for our group of people it worked great. The 2nd floor was a great open floor plan for the kitchen and giant (super comfortable) couch. The kitchen was well stocked. Great gathering area for our group. We could all eat our meals together if we wanted, or watch tv together on the couch. Or you could just step out on the screened in porch and eat or relax out there with the gulf view. The only thing I think we were missing in our house was the red hammock. But other than that the pictures they show online do a great job of showcasing the house. We were just an easy walk away from the convenient store/gas station. We ate a lot of our meals at the house. Everything shuts down in this little beach town quite early. Not a ton of restaurants close by. But you'll want to make sure you drive to Apalachicola - maybe 20 -30 minutes away. Historical super cute town with lots of great little clothing shops and a few restaurants/bars.

"Our experience was very good. There were 13 of us (6 adults, 7 children) and we all felt like there was plenty of room. The beach was beautiful and not too crowded. The kids really enjoyed the pool, playing in the waves and collecting seashells. Having an backyard with the pool, hot-tub and patio area really made Ooh La La feel like home. The weather was nice. We were able to fish some as well. We had some rain, but never all day and the temperatures were pleasant and not too hot.. S'mores at the fire pit were a big hit with the kids as well.

We ate out most nights. We took some meals in, and found the kitchen to be fairly well equipped. For the number of people, a larger refrigerator or a second fridge would have been nice. It was also a bit lacking in food storage space. This was only a minor inconvenience to us. The large dining room tables and outdoor seating were perfect for a large group.

The house was beautifully decorated and the beds were comfortable. Having four full baths was a plus for our large group. The house was clean and we had no major issues. Our only complaint would be lack of storage for clothes. The downstairs queen bedroom had no dresser or closet, so my girls lived out of their bags all week. Other bedrooms had very small chests and dressers. Again, this was only a minor inconvenience that prohibited us from completely unpacking. Additional tables in the living area would've been nice as well. The outside deck area looks ready for a coat of pain, as their was some rust, but I imagine this is true of all homes exposed to salt air. The house was quite charming. We really liked having ground floor bedrooms. Overall we had a wonderful week. Ooh La was great for a family getaway.

"Beautiful house with the best backyard ever!! First trip with our dogs and our grandson. Couldn't ask for a better week."

"Home fit all our needs perfectly. We loved having a yard for the dogs and still having a beach view. The pool was great but we LOVED using the new hot tub every night. Home is decorated beautifully, has plenty of room for everyone, and the beds were comfortable. Didn't get a chance to use the firepit :(. Can't wait to stay here again. Thank you!"

"We were a family of 7 adults, 2 toddlers and 1 baby staying in “Ooh la la” for one week and EVERYTHING was perfect! We couldn’t have asked for more!
There was plenty of space for everybody to enjoy, the decoration was really beautiful, the kitchen very well equipped and everything super clean. Beds were comfortable.

The fire pit and the grill area were nice!!! The heated pool was perfect as well and the outside area with beautiful confederate jasmines perfume… really enjoyable!
Beach was PERFECT!!!! Super white sand, clean, amazing view even on cloudy days! Lots of dolphins!!!! The entire week weather forecast was T-storms everyday… but we had a little bit of everything each day, cloudy until mid-morning, sunny for a few hours and cloudy again… we enjoy every minute of it!

A set of a towel, hand towel and wash rag lay on each bed as well as extra sheets. There are plenty of beach chairs and beach toys for kids, including 2 kites, 3 or more bodyboards, buckets, shovels, rakes, etc… A started kit is provided with detergent, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent, trash bags, paper towels, etc…

We only went out for dinner once to Indian Pass and we had a great time! Lots of local kind people and super fun karaoke!

What else can I say… great home, great pool, great beach, great weather, great people. Couldn't be better!"

"The house was great, the pool area amazing, the fire pit fun, the beach spectacular, our vacation was fabulous! Sunset Reflections staff were easy to work with and very helpful. We will definitely be returning the Cape San Blas!"

"We recently had a week long stay at Oh La La….there was 6 adults and two babies (15 months and 4 months)…and our 4 legged fur babies. Plenty of space. The house really was amazing. The decorations to the furniture were REALLY nice. They had really all the utensils that you would need to do any cooking and even had tons of movies and board games. When we arrived the house was very clean. A set of a towel, hand towel and wash rag were on each bed…(They do not provide beach towels) Everyone said their bed was very comfortable. The cable TV’s have a lot of channels…word of advice…make sure the list is “ALL CHANNELS”….just keep hitting “guide” until it says that. They do provide a “start up” of toilet paper, paper towels but you need to bring your own… (2 stores are very close to the house)……the beach is AMAZING…very clean, not crowded….everyone is very respectable with their fur babies.

A favorite was the fire pit… bring skewers & fire starters….this is the only house that I found, beachfront, that has grass for the dogs...unfortunately though the house doesn’t have an elevator…my grandmother came so she really just hung out on the main living area. We moved a twin mattress from the bunk room to replace the twin in the chair bed; it worked perfect & was more comfortable. Families coming with babies, bring a very wide gate to cover the stairs going up and down. Sunset Reflections is great and were quick to respond, hot tub was just fantastic.

Things I wish: blackout curtains in the bedrooms and some sort of curtain on the back wall on the main living floor, there was no surround sound bring a radio and the sliding doors for the two bedrooms 1st floor wouldn’t stay closed…if they would install a latch on the inside I think it would be perfect!

We would definitely stay here again! Thanks for such an amazing experience where we could bring the entire family!"

"The week was very enjoyable.The kids had an exceptional time swimming in the swimming pool and running back and forth to the beach. We were very happy with the rental overall. Some of the furniture is very dated and the house was humid most of the week. The tub in the master bath is a little too high maybe better as a walk in tub.Thats me just nitpicking a little.The house was everything we hoped it would be and accommodated our family great for the week that we were there ,we had a wonderful time. We would definitely recommend a vacation there to our friends."

"Great house, great pool, great beach. Couldn't be better!
Everything gets a top score!"

"Wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beach. We throughly enjoyed this property. The house was exactly as advertised and the zero entry pool was a hit with everyone."

"The home was beautiful and really very clean. We loved the location and the beach was beautiful. There was just a few things we were disappointed with, first the outside furniture on the porch by the pool was dirty with big stains on it and on our second day the gas grill ran out of gas and the other two gas bottles were empty as well. We called the rental agency and within a few minutes they brought us a new gas tank. It was after hours too, and we were impressed with that. Other than those two things everything was perfect. "

"This is the third time we have rented from Sunset Reflections..That in its self should speak for it's self... We know we can feel secure in choosing any rental house when it is owned by them.
Our family looks forward to another year with them in 2015...
Thank you for a wonderful vacation Sunset Reflections!!"

"Beautiful home and pool. The couch/sectional was so comfy that I'm having withdrawals. If the owners ever decide to get a new one, please call me and I will drive from Texas to pick up the old one :) The outdoor furniture was also very comfy and I really liked the round seat on the third floor deck. The fire pit was a favorite spot of ours during our stay and a wonderful feature.

I have a few suggestions: The outside shower had a water hose hooked up to the shower head but a nozzle would be helpful. We liked this set up because we could use warm water to clean the dogs. However, during our stay the pool guy removed the hose and attached it to the water faucet so he could add water to the pool. This left no hose or shower head and we couldn't put the hose back on the shower because he didn't leave the hose clamp ( the hose was cut and attached with a clamp). Also, baby gates would be nice so guests could block the stairs from children and pets. These are only suggestions as we loved the home.

Thanks for a lovely pet friendly home. We enjoyed our time at Ooh La La and we will be back again. "

"This was the first time I had ever went this route for a vacation and the whole experience went extremely well. No hassles no worries. I took a whole lot more things than I needed because this place truly has everything you need except personal items. It was convenient, quiet, comfortable and homey. My whole family wants to make this a tradition for our family vacations!!!!"

"We really enjoyed our stay. We had 3 families. 6 adults and 6 kids. The house had plenty of space for all of us. It was nice that the bottom floor had a hangout area for the kids to watch TV and play games. The heated pool was a big hit.
None of us had ever been to Cape San Blas. We loved that it was laid back and not super commercial like some other areas.
We would rent again. "

"This trip was our first time to Cape San Blas. We fell in love with the area and the house right away. Ooh La La is one of the nicest homes we have rented and we have rented many over the years.
The home was very clean upon arrival and we had no issues during the stay that maintenance did not fix right away (couple light bulbs out).
The decor in the home is amazing. Very nicely decorated! So many unique touches that make the house feel like a home and not just a rental. The home is even better in person than the pictures on the site.

The screened in porches are great for watching the sun set, relaxing with a good book, or enjoying a glass of wine. All the outdoor furniture was really comfortable and good quality.

The outdoor entertaining areas of this home are outstanding. The pool is very nice and the pool guy actually told us it is the nicest one he services. Our 2 boys loved swimming in the heated pool.
Outdoor grills and kitchen were great for cooking out. We were also able to use the firepit a couple times and really enjoyed looking at the stars and watching the beach fireworks. Kids enjoyed s'mores!
The home offers beach toys and beach chairs. It was nice not having to bring that in the car.
We would definitly rent this house again.

"We had our second annual family vacation at Ooh La La, and it was a hit in every way. There was plenty of space to spread out and be comfortable, and the imaginative decorating added an element of fun. Our adult kids lived in the pool, which we had heated. It's extremely close to Scallop Cove, for rentals and minor groceries. I would highly recommend it!"
