Cape San Blas - North Cape

As you drive down the driveway, you will understand why this home is so aptly named PRIVATE RESERVE. With no adjacent houses, this secluded retreat pampers you with extraordinary views of St. Joseph Bay and amazing amenities. A private dock provides you with Bay access for kayaking, boating, swimming, fishing, and snorkeling. Relax in the pool or enjoy the view from your private hot tub. The entire property is designed for entertaining, allowing for a large group gathering or that quiet hideaway for a little “me” time.

A handicap ramp from the exterior ground level to the second level's screened porch makes easy access for those with mobility issues.

The sunrise view from this bayside deck is so spectacular, it was featured in the Atlanta Southeast Airlines magazine article featuring the Forgotten Coast.

Each level of the home’s interior provides a separate kitchen, dining, living, sleeping and laundry area; and a full-length Bayfront screened porch provides seating and dining areas with endless views. With 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this bayfront vacation home located on the north cape accommodates 15.

To assist in your adventure at Private Reserve, your reservation includes $250 worth of adventure gear rental, delivery fee may apply. Whether your adventure is sitting under an umbrella on the white-sandy beaches, biking, or fishing from a kayak in the Bay, this $250 credit towards your vacation gear rental will ensure you have the adventure you seek. You will be able to shop for bikes, paddle boards, kayaks, beach chairs, umbrellas, or even beach carts. No need to find the rental company, your gear will be delivered to your beach house and will be waiting for your arrival.

A secluded oasis in paradise

by Melissa Williams
We stayed for the entire month of Feb 2022 and had the time of our lives. The house was spotless upon arrival. The kitchen is the most well stocked kitchen of any rental home I’ve stayed in. The sunrises over the bay, enjoyed with a freshly brewed cup of coffee, were one of the highlights of the trip. Of course, driving or walking the 1/2 mile to the public beach access to the gorgeous gulf side and watching the sunset was also an almost daily occurrence. Our kids swam in the pool multiple times daily, even on the days us parents deemed it too cold. Highly recommend paying for pool heat, if needed. The pool stayed plenty warm enough for swimming even on some of the cooler days. If it got tad chilly, we warmed up in the hot tub while enjoying spectacular views of the bay. The fenced dog run was perfect for our fur baby, it was so nice to not worry about having to leash her each time she needed to go outside. In our opinion, the single best perk of Private Reserve is that you truly feel tucked in and away from the hustle and bustle. During Feb, there weren’t many bugs to speak of, but I’m sure in the warmer months that having everything screened in is a life saver. We SUP’ed and kayaked in the bay, so peaceful. Highly recommend this home!

Family Vacation

by Diana Keith
The private Retreat house was beautiful and clean. The kitchen has everything you need for your stay and we loved the screened in porch. The views of the bay are gorgeous and the water is shallow enough the kids could walk in it and collect shells.

Perfection

by Stacy H.
We LOVED this rental! We visit the cape at least twice a year, once at spring break and once in the summer. My in-laws join us during spring break and there couldn’t have been a better rental to accommodate them! The entire living space downstairs was perfect for my father-in-law who uses a walker. It is the perfect distance from the general store. We rode bikes there at least twice a day. The bay view was gorgeous! I contacted the rental company on our first day about pool heat and they had it fixed right away! Highly recommend this rental and rental company.

Perfect vacation

by Jennifer S.
Private reserve was an amazing home. We had several adults, teens, and one kiddo. We all had a fabulous time. The accommodations were awesome. Kitchen had everything we needed as far as appliances and utensils. Perfect location for multiple families with two kitchens (we have the teens the downstairs kitchen to make their snacks etc.) The adults enjoyed the expansive kitchen upstairs and open floor plan. Screened porch and screened pool were a life saver. The dock was beautiful and fabulous and a great place to watch sunrise and sunset. Easy access to the bay. Easy access to the beach. Will rent again in the future if available.

Peace, love and memories

by Andrea Hirkaway
We have the best time finding crabs and critters. We found seahorses right off the dock and loved the hot tub views. The layout is perfect for families and the decor is perfect! We can’t wait to come back!

Peaceful!!!!

by Becky Sanders
Relaxing!!! Very peaceful!!! Fishing was great! The cleaning station was an added bonus! Having our family pets with us was such a blessing!! Thank you for letting us have them with us. We loved being able to let the dogs go down to potty by themselves. This house is designed for peaceful times as well as times to come together for family time. Not one complaint!

Scalloping off the dock

Beautiful Bayside Experience

by Tina Heine
This is a wonderful property with lovely views of the bay and all the sunrises you could hope for. The house is very clean and comfortable. There are some books, games, and DVDs in the main living area cabinets. The TV/streaming service was hard to figure out for us older people, but the young people with us got it going. The long lighted dock is great for launching kayaks during the day and star gazing at night. The public beach access is an easy 5 minute drive down the road, but its a long walk if you decide to walk to the beach. The binder the owner left is very helpful and informative. It is helpful to know that the downstairs is like an apartment of its own and can be separated from the upstairs if desired. There is a queen room and a double bedroom downstairs, with a separate kitchen. The bunk room, master, and one more queen bedroom are upstairs with the main living spaces. We had an unfortunate sewer/septic issue while we were there, with sewage spilling out into the dog run and actually backing up into the downstairs bathroom. The management company was quick to respond with both help and cleaners to get us back to normal quickly. We stayed during COVID-19 restrictions, so we brought all of our own food for the 11 of us staying there. The kitchen is equipped to easily prepare and serve that many people. We did wish the dining table would seat more than 8, but there is ample bar seating in addition to the dining room. The nearest grocery store is 25 minutes drive away, and it was unreliably stocked - so come prepared if you rent during the pandemic. We had a great and restful time here, and we (and our pets) appreciated the many features this house offers. The photos and descriptions are accurate.

Terrific Vacation Spot

by Kathleen Busko
The Private Reserve provided everything our family desired and more. Stunning sunrise views greeted us daily. We easily launched fishing, kayaking, and paddle boarding expeditions from our dock. We were thrilled at the variety of observable marine life while boating on the bay. The house itself was extremely comfortable, clean and well-appointed. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with all the wares a large group might need to make meal preparation easy. Everyone agreed that we want to return to this special place.

Great Family Vacation

Private Reserve is the best Cape San Blas home we've stayed in so far and we've been coming here for about 15 years! All the details are covered for a fantastic large family venue. From the location, pool, hot tub and screened porches to the heavenly beds, blender, crockpot and great air conditioning we couldn't have asked for more!

Upgrades made

This was our third stay at this house. Owners have made some good repairs on deck and added the fire pit. You cannot improve the sunrise. Just beautiful. The solar lights on the deck were beautiful. Owners were very quick to respond to a needed broom and dust pan. We will be back. ,,!

A dream vacation!

by Kristin Stanford
To say this is an amazing property/house is an understatement. The pictures posted do not do it justice. It is just gorgeous. Everything we needed was right there at the house so we didn't have to leave if we didn't want to. Our kids loved the pool and hot tub and the beach is just a short walk down the block and across the street. There is a nice little store and amazing seafood market about a quarter mile (short walk) from the house. And the family owned Skullys Low Country Boil at the end of the drive! (We got the seafood boil our first night there!) The drive to St. Joe isn't too far, if and when you need to go. The State Park is amazing and the wildlife preserve is a must-see for nature lovers. Beautiful sand dunes and pristine secluded beaches! I can promise you...we will be back! Thank you for this dream vacation!

Recent stay at Private Reserve

by Anthony Ruccione
Enjoyed week and weather during stay at private reserve. House was great, only issue was the hot water heater breaker tripped 3 times during stay and had to reset. Did not report it to mgt. Other than that everything was great with house, location and staff at Cape and Coast rentals. Would rent again and also recommend to others esp if you have a large group of family and friends.

Best House on the Cape

by Lynn Gray
Had a wonderful stay at Private Reserve, this is an amazing house in the perfect location! We have rented every year in Cape San Blas for over 20 years and a few years ago found this perfect rental house for our family and friends. We enjoy drinking coffee on the porch while watching the most amazing sun rises. Love the access to bay as we bring Kayaks and enjoy fishing/scalloping and just exploring the water ways. One of my favorite things is the outdoor shower. Very convenient after coming in from kayaking, snorkeling or fishing! Love the swing under the gazebo, there’s always a wonderful breeze off the water! The private pool is an added bonus, just big enough to keep cool with room to relax and enjoy beverages from the outdoor fridge.
