CONTACT OWNER FOR JULY SALE DETAILS

This custom home is located in one of the most beautiful areas of Florida’s Forgotten Coast. There are miles of unspoiled, soft, sandy beaches to enjoy with friends and family. The beaches of Cape San Blas were voted one of the top ten in the US, known for great fishing, shell hunting, swimming or just relaxing. With its' extra-fine white sand & stunning aquamarine water it is truly a paradise for those looking for a fantastic quiet get away.
This spacious upscale Gulf-front home is beautifully decorated with Italian tile throughout. The main living area and kitchen are located on the top floor for optimal gulf views throughout the day. As for the sunset, it’s as if it sinks right in your living room with a different show every night. Although we love animals, we want to keep the house as nice as possible, therefore, there are absolutely no pets allowed!
The kitchen is well equipped featuring quartz counter tops, custom cabinets & stainless steel appliances. From the gourmet chef to the crock pot enthusiast, you will find everything you are looking for to make the perfect meal including seating for ten and a grill on the back deck.
The spacious master bedroom opens to a private covered deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee as the beach comes alive and the dolphins play. The master bath has dual sinks with quartz counter tops, a soaking tub, and the perfect shower after a long day at the beach.
Bedroom number two is located on the quiet first floor as well. This room is also very spacious, with a queen sized iron bed, a private deck, flat screen TV, and an upscale dual sink private bath.
The third bedroom has two sets of twin bunk beds, a private deck, a flat screen TV, and another beautiful bathroom.
This is a true beach house with a sandy bumpy road leading up to it. The road is a single lane to a dead end with no turn around available for a boat or trailer.
The area offers horseback riding, deep sea fishing, bike rentals, golfing, tennis, and of course shopping. Take advantage of the paved trail stretching the length of the Cape for walking or bike riding. Or Saint Joesph State park, located at the end of the Cape with access to the bay and amazing scalloping.

Cute house

Great location and house. Wish there had been a few beach chairs to use. Also was a little difficult climbing back up to the boardwalk. House was great though - after we killed 2 roaches upon arrival! lol

Absolutely amazing!

Our stay was one of the most memorable family trips we have ever taken. Our experience has everything to do with the wonderful home with beautiful decor, outstanding experiences with the host communication and accommodations, and incredible location. This house will ruin you for other beach houses. We will be back!

Spectacular Stay

A beautiful beach home in a remote, relaxing location

We had a wonderful experience at A Rendezvous! Even with Tropical Storm Fred coming to visit too. The house was so homey and had a great porch to observe the storm. When the wind became to much, we came inside and relaxed on the comfortable furniture in the living room. It’s such a beautiful home and the beach is right there to enjoy from the awesome porches or just a few steps to the water. There are restaurants close to the house but all were closed due to the season being over. The town closed down early our first night there but we had found some great pizza at Pete’s. We really didn’t get to experience the town around due to everything being closed when we journeyed in to town. All in all, this was an awesome house and the location was so relaxing being right on the ocean and the owner was so accommodating. She even called to check on us as the storm made landfall. It was a great mom’s out weekend home!

Perfect for a friends and family vacation

We had the best vacation and will definitely consider renting here again. The house was immaculate and fit all of our families needs. It was wonderful being so close to the beach and having local shops and restaurants available at the end of our street. The property manager is incredibly responsive and helped with any questions we had. This is the 3rd house we've rented on the beach and we enjoyed every bit of it.

Great vacation house for the family!

Our family of six stayed at “A Rendezvous” and absolutely loved the house and the location. Beautiful views of the beach and sunsets from two decks facing the gulf. Great location behind The Trading Post for groceries, donuts and snow cones! This section of the beach is less crowded and there was always plenty of space for the families in the area to spread out. We would love to come back to the same house for our next trip to the Cape. (You could easily fit 10 if the kids bring friends)

Stirring up hurricane Barry

This was our fourth year at Rendezvous. It is a great property and a beautiful home right on the beach. If you vacation at the Cape you know that you have to just show up and see what the weather gives you. This year we got lucky, tropical depression Barry was forming in the gulf right in front of us but we only lost one day of beach time due to the rains. We always enjoy seeing Steve at Peachy's Beach Eats and we tried Krazyfish Grille this year, both winners! Due to storms we lost power on Friday night for about 6 hours but that is just island life! Pristine Properties was very responsive and came by to check on us the next morning. Highly recommend this home and location. Thanks for another great year of memories! Love the Cape!

The location was Great! The house was nice and what a view!

We enjoy the property- loved the location. House was clean and neat. I do wish they would have had little things like spices and beach chairs but that’s not a big deal. Over all we were happy and would come back

Love this place!

This is our second stay at A Rendezvous at Turtle Dunes, and we loved it this time just as much as the first time; iIt is so quiet and relaxing and pretty much perfect. The house is amazing, clean, comfortable, well appointed, and well stocked. The beautiful beach and ocean are just steps away. The little local grocery store, ice cream and coffee shop, a little local restaurant that has fabulous fish tacos, and another little place with homemade donuts are within short walking distance from the back door. And there is also yoga and a place to rent kayaks also with in a short distance from the back door. We absolutely love this place, and Kim and Pristine Properties are so pleasant and easy to work with. Thank you for sharing your home with us; we cannot wait to return again next year.

Schoggen Family Vacation in September 2017

Wonderful vacation home !! The views were so pretty. The boardwalk was very nice and the grandchildren really enjoyed the area under the house for evening playtime. The outdoor shower was so nice and really helped out in washing all the sandy kids. The decorations and style of the house was airy and light. The outdoor deck furniture was really comfortable and had lots of seating for large crowds. The kitchen was large and roomy, that was a good thing since we had three cooking. We ate all of our meals in and having St. Joes Fish Market in walking distance was a huge plus for us. Trading Post, Ice cream shop, Dounuts, and ice right up the road was so convenient and met all our needs. The Scallop Cove store was a great rental for our 2 man Kayak and the local beer on tap was a huge plus, and we filled out growlers up. Having the cute souvenirs and beach shop was nice for shopping. Loved the house and hope to revisit next year !!!

A wonderful vacation!

We stayed at A Rendezvous at Turtle Dunes over Labor Day weekend and loved it. We can't wait to go back. Cape San Blas is a truly unique and wonderful place. We hope it stays as peaceful as it is now. This house is perfectly located- the beach is just steps away and is a bit wider here than in other nearby spots. You can clearly see the beach from the porches which was helpful for when we were at the house and the kids ran back and forth. There's an ice cream shop, a general store, and a restaurant at the end of the block as well. The house itself is great, nicely decorated and has a beautiful master bedroom. The kitchen has everything you'll need. This house does not allow pets which would be the only reason we would ever choose another house if we went back, its really great. The property manager is also very helpful and easy to work with. Thanks for a great vacation.

Excellent! Perfect Vacation Place!

We had a fabulous vacation! We love Cape San Blas, the beaches are never crowded & it is so pretty! This house was absolutely perfect & we will definitely come back here again! It is extremely clean, very spacious and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was very well equipped and the beds are super comfy too! You can tell the owners really care about their guests. We sat on the back porch every evening to watch the beautiful sunset. The views of the Gulf are spectacular! Being right on the beach is amazing! As they say, location, location, location! Also, having the Trading Post store right down the road is an added bonus. They have everything from groceries, liquor to homemade donuts, yum :) This place is a slice of paradise and would highly recommend it !!

Wonderful Week

We had a wonderful week at Rendezvous. The house was VERY nice, very clean. The kitchen was big, well stocked with everything you'd need. Loved the location - close to the ice cream and donut place !! We had two couples that shared the place, but there was room for many more. One last comment - Pristene Properties were great to work with. Plenty of communications on the rental, what to bring, information on the area etc. Highly recommend it.

1015 Vacation

Kim, I wanted to drop you a note to say how delightful your beach house was on our annual trek to the gulf. It was by far the nicest accommodations we have experienced in 20+ years of beach vacations in Texas, Alabama, and Florida. Due to storms, the ocean was a little rougher than usual and we did not really get to enjoy the clear blue water we had hoped to find, but that's how beach trips go. On a positive note, there were no jellyfish or other unwelcome gulf creatures to spoil our surf activities. We ate at Peachy's one day for fish tacos (Yum) and had dinner in Apalachicola at The Seafood Grill one evening which was also great local fare. Our fresh seafood for home cooking came from the small seafood store between Port Saint Joe and the Cape. The Grouper, shrimp, and scallops were amazing! I usually find myself making some minor repair or improvement during our week stay at the beach just to make things a little nicer for the next resident and to leave a place nicer than we found it. I could not find anything that needed attention and that is so rare for a beach rental! It felt like we were staying with friends instead of renting a property. I also really enjoyed having a garage to keep the beach film off the truck and trailer. We really enjoyed our week in Cape San Blas.I hope we can stay at your home again sometime soon. Best wishes and thanks again for offering such a great property for us as beach lovers! Larry Spain and Pam White

About the host

Hosted by Kim McNitt

Our family lives in Gainesville GA, just north of Atlanta. We have always loved the water and look forward to many happy memories on the Cape.

Why they chose this property

We are the new proud owners of this great beach house. We looked all over FL, and just fell in love with the Cape and this house. We plan on passing our home down for generations, so that the families to come can laugh and love as much as we have.

What makes this property unique

This house is perfect for us because it's big enough for two families to share, or for our girls to bring friends, yet not too big if it's just my husband and I.
