NO PRICE INCREASE FOR 2025. 200 STEPS TO BEACH, NOT A 6 MILE DRIVE. PETS OK.

"Banyan Beach" - Enjoy beautiful sunsets over the gulf from the spacious wrap around decks on both levels of this absolutely beautiful, newly renovated home on Cape San Blas.

This spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bath home features gorgeous cathedral post and beam ceilings in living/dining room and master suite. Lovely flagstone fireplace and hardwood floors in living room. Large flat screen, smart TV with Bose surround sound system over the fireplace. Sliding doors in living room open onto covered deck with plenty of seating. There is a queen sofa sleeper in the living room. Leather sectional includes two recliners.

Kitchen, baths, hallway and laundry area have new tile floors. Kitchen has all new appliances and is generously stocked. Both main level bedrooms have queen-size beds along with twin roll-aways. Beautiful master suite on upper level has king-size bed, with double sinks and closets in master bath. All bedrooms are equipped with new smart TVs with remotes and have sliding glass doors which open onto the deck. There is also a ceramic-tiled laundry area on the second floor.

VRBO incorrectly states our property is a 6 mile drive to the beach (see pictures). We are just steps to the beach at the end of our private road. This home has plenty of parking for a small boat or jet ski and is a short distance to the state park’s public boat launch. Banyan Beach is professionally landscaped and has an outdoor hot and cold shower and gas grill. Conveniently located two blocks to grocery/sundry stores (including a seafood company) on the Cape but only 20 minutes from more shopping in Port St. Joe or 30 minutes from Appalachicola's restaurants and shops.

Keywords:
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Heaven

We enjoyed our stay at Banyan Beach House so much. The house is so spacious with decks all round. The swing on the deck is just heavenly. Location is a plus. A very, very short walk to the beach! And last but not least is the ease of booking our stay. Paul was so easy to work with and responded to inquiries quickly. Will certainly stay again!

Family Vaca

Property management was excellent and super responsive. Home needs a lot of updates. Notes not to close bedroom doors, closet door fell off, during rain storm water was leaking from light above sink. Needs a deep clean. Dog poop on top deck and lots of stained carpet. Reasonably priced.

Not bad needs updating

Starting out Property manager had very good communication but when it came time to check in there was no update and we were stuck outside of the rental for almost 2 hours. The property manager would not answer his phone and customer service was no help whatsoever in fact they were awful it was so bad that we thought we were getting scammed because we've never used to be VRBO before. After multiple tries we finally got ahold of the property manager and we were able to get our key to get in. The stay at the beach house was nice but it needs a lot of updating and TLC it wasn't the cleanest so I spent most of the time sanitizing when we first arrived. We also felt uncomfortable being on the deck because there were a few banisters that weren't attached and it seemed like the deck would fall apart. As far as location it is in the best spot only a 3 minute walk from the beach. Other than that my family and I had a great time and there is a lot of room in this rental.

Wonderful Beach Escape

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property. The home is perfect for any family and has a ton of room. We loved the vaulted ceilings and open feel in the home. This home looks even better in person than in the pictures. It is well stocked and very comfortable. It was just a short walk to the beach and a general store, ice cream shop, and other amenities are very close by. We hope to return again one day soon!

Wonderful Home with Amazing Views

This home was everything that we expected it to be. It’s a no-frills beach house with everything you need for a comfortable vacation. If you are looking for a super fancy brand new house this isn’t it. It’s an older home that could use updates but we liked the older charm and it felt like home. We loved that it was a short walk to the beach so we could run back if we needed to grab something at the house. The beaches on the Cape are stunning. We spent most of our time on the beach with our children and our dog. The home was incredibly spacious and clean. There was plenty of deck space for viewing the beautiful sunsets and sunrise(If you have little ones they get up early in excitement while on vacation). The only thing to note is that the decks are wooden and older so we worried the kids would get splinters. It’s ALOT of wood to replace so I imagine the owners will eventually do this as it was quite wobbly in some spots also. Our kids knew the spots to avoid. We will definitely be back!
