Perfect Paradise

The house was perfect to accommodate our party of 19, 5 families. We had 9 kids ranging from 1-5; the pool, the beach, and space were perfect. The long dining table was such a treat for our entire party to dine together. The only issue we had was figuring out the thermostats, as some rooms were really cold while some were very warm. Overall it was a great week, and we will be back. We highly recommend this location and this property.

quiet vacation place

We were are group of 22 and the house was extremely spacious and was able to accommodate everyone. Steps away from the beach with all the privacy you need. The kids really enjoyed the pool as it is decent size for a beach house and the hot tub was clean and maintained as well. The only issues we had is with the bathroom doors as 5 of the 7 bathrooms were not able to lock. They fixed 3 during our stay but the others stayed as is as some have been nailed into the wall. We also had the fire alarms go off in the middle of the night the first two nights but maintenance came in and replaced them on the 3rd day. There is no night life at Cap San Bles but I would definitely recommend this place for a quiet family/group vacation. Recommendations for the property manager: post pictures of all the bedrooms and have the master bedrooms bathroom doors fixed or put in some kind of locks and add a light by the pool as there are none.

Major construction next door. Don’t recommend!

My family and I decided to book a relaxing beach front home for our family reunion. We were greeted with major construction next door that was not disclosed anywhere before booking. An hour before check in on a Friday we got a phone call asking us if we wanted to switch houses because of the construction. We didn’t hear back till the next work day, Monday, but by then we were settled in with 3 babies and it would’ve been challenging to switch. The management team stated that if we decided to stay they would issue us a full refund after discussing it with the owner. We decided to stay and put up with the intrusion (no privacy fence) and loud sounds. We also paid an extra $350 to use the heated pool/hot tub but we were not able to use either because the heating never worked and the hot tub was filthy. They sent someone over to try and fix it 3 days before check out. The only good thing about this home is the direct access to the beach. We enjoyed family time together but the house didn’t make relaxing any easier. It’s been almost a week after checkout and we are still waiting on our refund. I recommend this home when the construction next door is finished! Until then, save your time and money and book elsewhere. Also, the nearest major grocery store is a 30 min drive. Only book if you want seclusion. The home is also 3 flights of stairs and not easy for grandparents or toddlers.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a group of 17 people ranging all ages. The home and property were amazing! The view is breathtaking and the pool/patio area is perfect for hanging out. The area felt VERY private which is exactly what we were looking for. We felt like we were on a private island far away. The home has everything you need and the rental company was great to work with. They answered all our questions and quickly corrected any maintenance issues (very few) we had.

Week in Paradise (almost)

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First, we LOVED Magnolia @ Secluded Dunes! We had four families totaling 20: kids, parents and one grandma. The bedrooms and living spaces fit us very well. Thank you for sharing your home with us!ProsThe beach and views were outstanding. White sand, short walk over the dunes to the beach... could not have been better. Amazingly, the pictures online just can't do the view justice.The elevator was key for grandma. She could not have done three flights of steps all vacation.The beach is what you would expect at the Cape: quiet, relaxing, dolphins, sand bottom water. The house was designed to accommodate a large group. The kids could play in the pool room and the adults could hangout in the kitchen/living room.Finally, the pool, patio and decks were wonderful. It is hard to find a good pool beachfront at the Cape. Magnolia has one of the best!ConsWe got an email just before arrival that the glass in a window was broken. When we got there, both sheets of glass on a double sliding door were broken held together with tape. It did not seem safe at all and it did not get fixed/worked on while we where there. We emailed maintenance that the microwave didn't work the first day of our stay. We got an email back that they would have someone out to replace it. That would have been fine, but then we saw another review where the same microwave was broken back in May. There was a tiny camper sized microwave there, but it was not at all adequate for a group of 20.Overall, we had an amazing time at an amazing place.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a gorgeous home and the view was incredible. We went for our 45th Anniversary with our children and 10 grandchildren 20 in all. The home was spot on for our needs....the description, amenities, and service were excellent. The pool company and Cape and Coast were always there when we needed them. We would go back in a heart beat. Two issues that we did not let bother us... no full size microwave and, the elevator stopped working on Day 2 and never started again. Cape and Coast responded immediately and told us it needed parts but they never arrived. The price was fair...I went to book again and the price has doubled + for next year. So we'll need to look elsewhere. Have Cape and Coast looking!

Quick turn over results in sandy, dirty floors

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have worked w C&C for prob the last ten years. Overall always a good experience, however...last 2-3 years, the cleaning has been less than expected. Sand in/on beds, sandy floors, dirty floors (last one was sticky - we reported and were delivered a mop to clean it ourselves on a $12k rental!). Turn over of these houses is so quick - just set your expectations. Now, with the price of rental doubling on some of the houses - I’d expect a REALLY clean house. We are renting again next year - but felt the need to say something about this. Not sure where the trouble lies, but feel that our comments over last couple of years have been disregarded. Staff while we are in houses is very responsive, says all the right things, but actual results are iffy/spotty.

We had a terrific time. A stickler for perfection would have been annoyed by the none working microwave over the oven......small countertop one had to make do. Water went out for about 30 minutes one after, water company says they blew a breaker.... The pool was excellent & beach access great. Renting the kayaks & bikes & board was a money well spent.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is beautiful. The location is very quiet and secluded and the view is outstanding. The hot tub and pool were great and all in working order. We only had a few complaints: the pocket doors in the bathrooms don't stay closed. The water pressure is really low in the shower. Also it looks like the house was recently renovated which is great, but much of the finish work is still undone. It did not take away from the beauty or functionality of the house though. The internet was a little finicky also.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at the Magnolia Secluded Dunes house was amazing. Beautiful views, very secluded beachfront, private pool and hot tub were just a few of the perks! It was a great getaway for our family especially in the current COVID environment. The house was very clean and the Cape & Coast staff were very helpful. Only suggestions would be to have a broom and dustpan in house for guests to keep from tracking sand into the house and maybe more comfortable living room furniture. Overall a great place to vacation!

Almost perfect!

Great layout! Lots of space! Very nice pool! The ice maker was quite helpful! We really enjoyed our stay but there are a few things that could be addressed to make it completely perfect: *The shower in the 3rd floor Master suite drained VERY slowly. *Many screws and nails in the stairs to the beach need tightening. *A roll-down blind in the kitchen would help reduce the afternoon heat in the great room. *Grill cleaning tools should be provided. *Several sliding glass doors have handle and sticking issues. *Neither of the sliding doors to the Jack and Jill bathroom on the 3rd floor closed completely. *There were fire ants by the grill and fire pit. *A shower at the base of the stairs from the beach would significantly reduce the amount of sand brought to the patio and pool area. *A dust pan with the broom would be nice to have. *An additional refrigerator would be nice for a house this size, especially during this Covid scare where most meals are likely eaten in. *A supply of replacement tips for the pool cue sticks would be nice (we shared one stick for the entire week).

Reviewer Comments: The house was very nice and had a beautiful view of the beach through the palm trees and great sunset views if we didn’t wish to walk down to the beach. The only problem with the house was the kitchen and available pots, pans, glassware. The was one wineglass in the entire house., We had to cut our bacon in half to fit in the frying pans. No large cooking pans were available. Just little stuff like that. We had to drink our wine out of highball glasses. We arrived at 5:00PM on the day of check in and they were still cleaning. There was a pile of dirt on the main floor that the cleaners had not gotten up. Other than that, the place was clean.

Perfect setting to unwind and share family time.

There's so much good to say about this place and a little not so good but I imagine the few issues will be resolved over time. The good - loved the location as it was like having our own private beach. The house itself easily accommodated our 18 member family that ran from 19 mos to 79 years old. Top of the line appliances and furnishings. We thoroughly appreciated the very long dining table for our large gathering dinners. Outside toys aplenty to be found in the store units on the ground floor and the elevator was a fantastic plus in every way. If I had any recommendation it would be to offer or install some baby gate system blocking the stairs for those that bring youngsters. There's just about everything else baby you could possibly need in the closets on both floors - including two Pack and Play portable cribs and walkers. The problems - Very weak water pressure so a typical short shower took much longer as you chased the water around to rinse off shampoo and soap. A/C unit is totally weird set up. Family in the double bunk beds on the second floor were in a sauna while the rest of the floor froze. The repair person was extremely prompt to answer our call but they freely admitted it wasn't wired for efficiency and advised to use a box fan to try and pull cool air into the room. The house box fan was broken so we purchased another one from Port St Joe but it did little to alleviate the heat. The pocket doors in just about all bathrooms and the sliding door off the kitchen were off tracks, hard to open or refused to stay closed. A little awkward in shared bathrooms. The awesome floor to ceiling windows on the third floor made for some very hot afternoons (88 degrees by sundown every day) even with the custom blinds. The main heat appeared to be from the windows in the kitchen that didn't have any blinds but I feel that's a work in progress. A week on the beach and only those few items referenced above stop it from scoring a perfect 10 - none of which would stop us from reserving again. I think the house is still a work in progress from the hurricane last year and will only improve over time. Any problems that could be solved received prompt attention from local service companies - very impressive.
