DETAILS: Located in the gated South Beach community of Cape San Blas, Cape Indulgence is an elegant 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom Gulf-front retreat with panoramic ocean views and a private boardwalk to the beach. Between 5 bedrooms and a bonus room, there are plenty of accommodations for up to 14. With incredible amenities, such as a private pool, sitting spa, and wraparound deck, guests will love staying here.

With spacious entertainment areas indoors and out, this 4-story home opens with a covered alfresco dining and grilling area on the ground floor—featuring a small fire pit, and outdoor lounge space. Just beneath the covered entry is a private swimming pool and spill-over spa. An outdoor shower and fish-cleaning station add convenience, while a doggie door and fenced-in pet area make it easy to bring the four-legged members of your family.

Just inside the formal entryway is a private elevator, which whisks guests (and their luggage) to the second level. An open-concept great room greets everyone with natural light and elegant decor, including a self-playing mini grand piano. Claim a recliner and unwind in front of the TV with the recently updated furniture, get cozy in the seating area by the gas fireplace, or take in the sea air on the impressive wraparound deck. There are plenty of places to lounge! In the evening, gather around the two 6-seat dining tables to accommodate 12 or 4 seats at the breakfast bar for a large family dinner. A gourmet kitchen offers granite countertops, high-end appliances, 2 refrigerators, and a wine cooler for easy meal prep and entertaining. When it’s time for bed, there are 2 guest bedrooms on this floor, both with a shared bathroom.

Guests will find 3 comfortable bedrooms and a laundry room on the third floor. There is 1 primary bedroom with a gas fireplace and access to a private deck, and 2 additional bedrooms—1 guest bedroom with access to a private balcony and 1 bunk room with 2 sets of twin-over-twin beds.

Above the third floor, accessible only from a screened-in breezeway, is a private bonus room with a TV. This space is ideal for older kids and teens and is often referred to as “The Hangout.” Guests of this room can access a shared bathroom on the third floor.

Cape Indulgence will book quickly with these incredible beach views, a private pool, and lovely furnishings.

Disappointing management
The house is in a great locationthe pool is nice. It was evident that the house had not been occuppied or cleaned in quite some time. We found trails of food crumbs under the couches and in kitchen making it a german roach haven. We found dust filled air filters that clearly hadn't been changed in months. Open safety pins found on floors. Property mgmt (360 blue) has no direct number to a live person, so we had to drive down to the office. After waiting in lobby for 30 minutes someone finally showed up to the office. They sent cleaners out to clean our first vacation day. After 4 hours of cleaning the house was finally clean. Still had roach issues & with a 9 month old crawling baby, this was problematic. The 2nd day of our vacation they sent the pest out at 830 am. We were told by the pest people we should leave the house for 6 hours. They also had to pour something down all the drains because there were pipe flies. The chemical the pest people poured in drains was so strong it ruined the kitchen sink and ate the fiberglass off the master tub, which led to cleaners coming again. During our stay the downstairs shower light and fan sparked and stopped working. The washing machine had so much mold & mildew the smell made it unusable. The biggest issue with our stay was the fact we couldn't reach the property mgmt. The house was nice but HORRIBLE management. If it were our house, we would find another management company. This company isn't taking care of this house.

Extended Family Vacation
This was our first extended family vacation in over 10 years. Cape Indulgence was a great place for this gathering. The house was very accommodating for the days that the weather was not beach friendly. Location on the island was perfect for our crew. Little bit of a walk down the boardwalk to the beach. But the private boardwalk allowed us to leave our chairs and tent at the end daily. Overall a great place for a large group.

Wonderful location and view!
The house was perfect for our family of 10 and two dogs. It was spacious, nicely decorated and had plenty of kitchen cookware and dishes. The pool was wonderful! It was shaded and provided a nice reprieve from the heat of the beach. The view was fabulous and the house provided a variety of porches to view it. The boardwalk to the beach crossed over wetlands which filled the night air with lots of chirping and birdsong. The location was secluded but close to the general store and ice cream shop. We had an issue with a clogged drain and the team was over there and had it repaired in minutes. I would highly recommend this home for your next family beach vacation.

Cape Indulgence 2/17 - 2/20
Overall the house was what we hoped for - clean, spacious, well-appointed, and conveniently located. We arrived at dusk on a blustery Friday evening, and were unable to unlock the front door. Two of our party investigated the backside of the house, and were able to gain access to the main floor through a sliding door that was unlocked. At this point, we were able to unload our cars and move in. We had an uneventful night but ended up locked out after a full day of activities the next day because we locked up when we went out, but had not reported that the code did not work. We were able to contact the management company after hours and they were able to reprogram the electronic lock and provide us with a new access code, which worked on the first try. The only other issue that we had with the house were a few large cobwebs in the dining area and upstairs bathroom, and the dishwasher that smelled as if it had not been used or cleaned in a long time. We would return to this location in the future if these two issues were addressed and resolved.

Beautiful Beach Home
All of our family members enjoy this spacious home with private access to the beach. Some of the furniture needs attention (broken bed frame, leaning dining table and splitting fire pit chairs), but the player piano and the two fireplaces were enjoyed by all. Thank You.

Spacious and welcoming
This house was very spacious and well maintained. The property management company was extremely responsive to questions we had while staying. If I had to say one slightly negative thing, the 2 king bedrooms had uncomfortable mattresses with box springs so loud that you're almost afraid to roll over. Other than that, the place was perfect!

GREAT Property, careful of extra pool fees
LOVED LOVED LOVED this house! It was very clean, well appointed, convenient, great neighbors next door. I would stay here again. I would encourage the advertisers to make one change: The "hot tub/pool" that is advertised is NOT automatically heated; there is an extra fee to make it so, and that is not clear in the description.

Very nice house but……
This house was amazing. The only thing that needs more attention would be the floors need to be mopped better. With dogs being allowed in the house the floors do get dirty more than just family staying. Maybe have some mops available for guest to clean after their dog during their stay. The only other thing is people are allowed to drive on the beach which we do lot like. Nothing to do with the property. Just be aware when you stay there.

Nice house and quiet location but the house suffers from lack of maintenance. Sliding door was missing a handle, pictures not hung on walls, dirty heat registers, paint needs to touched up. In addition, it looks like I may been biten by bed bugs (not certain, but appears that way).

Truly an indulgent beach home
This is a large home that provided our extended family plenty of room to spread out. The table sits 10, the furniture is comfortable, rocking chairs on the upstairs deck provide a fabulous view of the dunes and gulf. Very private feel. Lots of amenities to make you comfortable.

Great location and beautiful home. Other than the pool lights not working and spa too loud, workman walking in on my son without knocking, and the neighbor shooting swamp rats which upset my grandchildren, it was awesome. Everything was there that we needed. Would definitely recommend Cape Indulgence. Beautiful location!

Loved the house, the beach, the sea turtle nests!
The house was huge. We had three families and used all the bedrooms. The 3rd floor bedroom is definitely a teenagers place as there’s no close bathroom. First floor two bedrooms share a bath. All the second floor bedrooms have their own baths. The kitchen, dining, and living area were spacious. Lots of room for everyone to spread out and indulge. The views from the living area and master bedroom were fantastic. Of course the deck was in the same line so that was a great place to sit. The views were exactly what I dreamed about all winter. The beach was fantastic. A bit of a walk away but not difficult. It had a nice boardwalk and the vegetation was interesting. Different little flowers blooming everyday we were there in June. I walked the beach the first morning to the east. The rest of the mornings I walked west and saw several sea turtle tracks and nests. Didn’t see the sea turtles. Walked 1.5 miles to west and found the wrecked Donna Kay shrimp boat. If you walk a little further past the ship toward the trees, there is a palm tree with shells embedded in the trunk. Well worth the walk. My morning walks were my favorite part of the trip. We saw dolphins the last evening when we were sitting in our chairs on the beach. They didn’t come in very close. Wished we could have seen more of them. We rented chairs and umbrellas with the coupon we got from Natural Retreats. There was a little wagon to pull them down to the beach. I liked that the beach flag was by our walk to the beach so we could monitor tides. It was pretty rough for several days but then again, the wind kept the flies and mosquitoes away. There was also a walking/biking path across the main road that some of us used daily. They saw a small alligator by the playground ditch everyday. The highlight for the young grandsons was the swimming pool. It was still very cold when we left Illinois to drive to Florida, so we asked to have the pool heated. It was nice for a day or so, but then it got too hot and wasn’t usable one day. I texted them about it and they came right over and turned it off and was usable by the next day. Overall, we were very pleased with Cape Indulgence and would love to stay in this area again someday. We would rent from Natural Retreats again.

Great Beach Stay
This house was fantastic! It is huge! There is so much space for everyone and there is everything you need. The beach here is beautiful (nice and wide) with plenty of dolphins. Communication was excellent and the bikes we rented with our credit were great. There are also plenty of restaurants close enough with good pick up options - I recommend the St Joe Shrimp Company. I would definitely stay here again.
