This is by far the best house that we have rented on the Cape. Great location, house well maintained, everything worked, plenty of space! Loved it!! Would definitely rent again.

House is great. Weather was great.

Carol L - Posted: 10/3/2024

Everything about this property was top notch- felt like you were in paradise. We have stayed on the cape for 9 years- we look forward every year for this one week with our kids and from the time we book until the time we leave we get top notch service . From the views, the layout, the beautiful decor, kitchen , pool, outside bath and shower . We are leaving with a heart full of memories! Thank you! We hope to stay here again next year.

We had a great time. The house was simple amazing and everything we thought it would be. We have stayed at other houses on the Cape but this has been our favorite so far.

We loved the location and the access to the beach. Fire pit was a nice touch.

The house and location are the reasons why we picked Kanani, getting Cape and Coast as the property managers was truly a bonus!

Property was great - very updated.

A great property with a great location. Maybe a few things to be repaired but nit-picky at best. Switch covers missing, bolts missing from furniture on second floor patio. Sprinklers ran several hours per day which made it difficult to use the beach side yard. There are not a lot of dinner choices on the cape (preferred), but that said, a better stocked kitchen could go a long way to offset the options and provide a better variety staying in. All nit-picky, we all loved the property and the quiet area.

Seabert - Posted: 10/25/2023

There wasn’t much we didn’t love about Kanani. It had the perfect living arrangement for three families (we’re all still friends, even after living together for a week!). Large common area, with 5 large BR and baths. Kitchen and pantry were spacious, and well equipped. Large dining table. The ice maker was a lifesaver. We loved the private boardwalk with the short walk to the beach. We didn’t feel like we had to bring everything all in one trip, bc it was so easy to just run back to the house, if needed. Loved the fenced back yard with the fire pit (even though we didn’t find time to use it), and LOVED the private little pool. Plenty of parking for three vehicles. Would definitely love to stay here again.

Loved the location, size of rooms, ice maker, kitchen space/pantry, covered balconies, pool space. We had a really great stay! Will absolutely stay again.

We have now found our beach house to make family traditions each summer! All the comforts of home, plenty of room for kids and adults. The floor plan was so awesome for a large family. All of the beds were comfy. Direct access to the beach was so convenient. All of the porches with phenomenal views were amazing. Well stocked kitchen with all the amenities to cook meals in. The elevator was a true game changer. So easy! Can’t wait to rebook for next year.

House was well equipped and clean. Easy access to the beach. Great house for a beach stay for sure.

We wanted to end the year after the holiday craze with a quiet and calming weeklong stay at the beach. This house provided the perfect backdrop for that. While we had done plenty of Florida beach vacations, we had never heard of Cape San Blas before this trip. It is absolutely beautiful (a secret gem)…sand is like silk and so many sea shells…my kids were in heaven. We have high standards and this house pretty much met them all. Very clean and nicely constructed with all the modern amenities. We really like to cook, so we did miss our good knives and other cooking utensils (a good lemon squeezer) so if that is your thing…you may consider bringing it with you (assuming you’re coming by car). Lots of stairs, so we did appreciate the elevator when carting luggage and groceries. There is not a lot of “local activity” or a ton of tourists (at least not when we went)…which is exactly the experience we were hoping for. It’s our new happy place and we plan to return in the near future and hope to stay in this home again when we do.

We are delgihted you enjoyed your time on the Cape, and we agree this is one of the best areas to relax and unwind with your family. It was a pleasure having you stay with us, and we look forward to your next visit to the Forgotten Coast.

4 families stayed for a short vacation. The house is very comfortable, new, clean. Communication with the property manager was good. The elevator was a huge help as we shopped and cooked our meals at home. Much easier than climbing all those steps.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review about your stay with us, Jon. We're thrilled that you enjoyed you and your group had an enjoyable stay at Kanani, and we look forward to hosting your next visit again soon!

Cape and Coast staff

We very much enjoyed our stay the Kanani beach house. The accommodations were great, the house was clean and the location and views were spectacular. The pool was a huge bonus for the kids. Our only complaint would be the outdoor shower did not work very well so it made cleaning off sand from the beach a bit more of a task. It we could suggest any changes it would be to add a boardwalk to the beach.

Adam G. - Posted: 5/30/2022

Thanks for taking the time to write a review about your stay with us.

We had a great stay here! We had 9 people, ranging in age from 3 to 67. We went in the off season, so it was super quiet and relaxing, hardly anyone around. Cape San Blas isn’t a booming area, so we did have drive into Port St Joe and Mexico Beach for restaurants. This is a place you would go and do a lot of cooking, so be prepared for that. I have two, very minor, complaints: when we got there, the floors were pretty dusty and dirty, and the microwave was pretty gross on the inside (everything else was clean). We looked for a vacuum but there wasn’t one, and there should definitely be access to one because of the sand. Outside of these things, the house was perfect, and we would definitely book again!

Rebecca M. - Posted: 12/5/2021

Thanks for your review, Rebecca. We're delighted that you and your group had a lovely stay at Kanani! Please accept our apologies for the cleanliness issues you found at the home, which we will address with our housekeeping team.

House was amazing. Located directly on the beach, easy to cart and gear to beach with no ramps: stairs; or walkways. Sand all the way from lower level was great. Living area was very big, updated kitchen and decor, comfortable beds, and balconies were great. The lower level outdoor shower and bathroom really came in handy! Overall a great experience. Not much around so being comfortable in the house was very important. We had 4 adults, 3 toddlers, 1 infant, and 1 little boy. We never felt cramped at all. Great experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed a long weekend at the house. It had every feature you could want and some you didn’t know you wanted until you got there. The large pantry, extra drink/ice fridge, and outdoor shower were nice surprises that were much appreciated. Thanks so much!

My family and extended family (6 adults, 4 children) spent an incredible week at the beach for Christmas. Kanani is an amazing home that more than accommodated our group. This is a beautiful, clean, well appointed luxury home with furnishings and technology (wifi, smart TVs, appliances, elevator). The views are spectacular. The beach is a short walk from the house. We will definitely recommend this home for multi-family vacation. A special note to Natural Retreats management company - they were extremely accommodating, responsive, and very friendly. Cannot say enough good things about Kanani and Natural Retreats. This was the perfect place for a special and memorable holiday with my family.

What a blessing to find a home to hold the fourteen of us. My siblings and their families all got tested for COVID so we could be with our Mom at Thanksgiving. This quiet fishing town was our retreat. We were all negative and able to come together in one space. Relaxing and rejuvenating.

We had a wonderful stay at Kanani! The house was perfect for our 4 generations - ranging from age 21 months to 83 years. The beach access and views were so relaxing and recharging and the kitchen space was great for shared meal prep/serving and games in the evening. We had asked for a high chair which was there before arrival and also a CrockPot which was provided too. Thank you for a wonderful week!

This was a great space, very comfortable for a large extended family with enough space for everyone, comfortable beds, a large kitchen big enough for multiple people to navigate. We especially enjoyed the multiple balconies. The property manager was great about checking in. We would definitely return.

We could not have picked a better house to stay at while on vacation. It was a dream! Lots of room for 4 separate families. Our favorite was the open living/dining/kitchen. We were able to hangout together while making meals. Plenty of room to spread out. Great access to the beach and the pool was excellent for our small children. Can’t wait to come back next year!

Lacey H. - Posted: 7/15/2020

Thanks for your kind review, Lacey. We're so thrilled that you had an exceptional multiple family vacation while staying at Kanani!

We look forward to hosting your next visit to Cape San Blas again next year!

Well equipped and beautifully decorated. Close to the water with great view from multiple decks. The kitchen was great for cooking and serving large group. The only negative factor was the poor quality of sheets and mattress pads.

Cindy P. - Posted: 7/2/2020

We traveled with our family of 4 and another family of 5 and this house was the perfect size. The location, decor, beds, balconies, etc. were all great. Our only complaint was the lack of some common kitchen supplies including a normal coffee pot, salt and pepper shakers and pot holders. This definitely didn't affect our stay and we would definitely come back again but just something to keep in mind if you are renting this house!

Jenny M. - Posted: 6/1/2020

Thanks for your review, as well as your feedback. We're so pleased that you found Kanani the ideal size for your family and that you enjoyed its location.
