Experience tranquility with stunning sunrises from your private deck, fill your days with adventure from kayaking, to playing cornhole, and relaxing on the beach, then gather together for breathtaking sunsets on the large radial deck overlooking the Gulf. After a day of fun in the sun, relax in the hot tub or gather around the cozy fire pit and roast marshmallows under the starry sky. No matter how you choose to fill your day, this is an idyllic setting for relaxation! You’ll be in old Florida with dog friendly beaches, sugar sand and the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, dolphins and turtles, pelicans flying in formation and the occasional view of a bald eagle perched in a tall pine. Sanctuary is a 10-minute walk to the Trading Post and the same distance to the Donut Hole if you get up early enough to score some fresh donuts. Kayak in the Gulf or in the bay. Fish from the beach or rent a pontoon boat from Presnell’s. There’s lots to do, but time slows down here. Sanctuary is an oasis away from home with breathtaking Gulf and Bay views! Situated in a prime location, this remarkable, first-tier home boasts high ceilings with spacious terraces, rainfall showers, wide stairways and an elevator if desired. With this home, every detail has been carefully considered, from the French Oak wood floors to the natural stone accents and heated bathroom floors. Upon entering Sanctuary, you will find a great place for the kids (2 built-in custom twin bunks) and Bedroom 2 with a king bed … both with full bathrooms and heated floors if you’re visiting in the cooler months. On the 2nd level you will enjoy Bedroom 3, (Queen sleeper sofa) and the gorgeous kitchen, spacious dining and living area with plenty of games on hand. On the 3rd level enter a tranquil retreat to your Sanctuary Suite, which encompasses the entire upper floor offering a peaceful refuge with a tray ceiling and two private decks facing the Gulf and the bay. Unwind in the jetted tub, indulge in the convenience of a wet bar, or find inspiration in the adjoining office/library space. The kitchen is a chef's dream boasting a 36'' Wolfe gas cook-top and stainless-steel appliances. Custom cabinets with under-cabinet lighting, granite counter tops, a large breakfast bar and an island that provide both style and functionality making meal preparation a delight! With 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, in the main house, there is ample space for a relaxing stay. Or you can escape to a private carriage house using the elevated, covered walkway. This charming carriage house has an additional bedroom, full bathroom, and a kitchen. It’s a versatile and convenient space for special guests or extended family. When you're ready to get active, it’s four minutes over a private walkway that connects you to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Or, if you prefer, take the Kayak’s (provided) over to a private gated dock for a fun time of exploring the sand bars or the shallow waters of St. Joseph Bay. Don't miss the opportunity to make this coastal oasis your own for your family retreat to The Cape. We are confident it will be a "Sanctuary" like no other! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4.5 bathrooms - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Elevator - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Golf - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 3,299 square feet ## Similar properties ![A heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100940000/100936100/100936092/0700fcf5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pool | Elevator | Sleeps 10 Cape San Blas - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=100936092&PinnedHotelID=100936092&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![3 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115980000/115973200/115973111/474b08e4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### DuneFine Cape San Blas Sleeps 10 & Dog Friendly Private Pool Cape San Blas - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 9.2 Wonderful 96 reviews CA $319 CA $1,367 total includes taxes & fees Dec 24 - Dec 25 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-24&endDate=2025-12-25&selected=115973111&PinnedHotelID=115973111&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120450000/120448500/120448442/8e19a791.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Coasting On Catamaran- family friendly, gulf front, wifi, pets welcome!

Management attentive and responded quickly to all our needs while there. Great communication for anything we needed.Will definitely go back to The Sanctuary next time we plan a trip Cape San Blas.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed another week visiting Cape San Blas! We noticed this house a few years ago and we were so excited when we found it available for a last minute beach trip. The house is beautiful! While not right on the water, the private boardwalk access was so close to the house (door to sand less then 2 min) We would absolutely stay here again! We were just a short walk to the trading post as well. Coastal Joes has been a great company to work with over the years! They were very attentive and easy to contact with questions. ##### Jamie C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Playa Largo Resort & Spa, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-Largo-Hotels-Playa-Largo-Resort-Spa.h11919055.Hotel-Information) > > [Westgate Vacation Villas Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Westgate-Vacation-Villas-Resort.h98920.Hotel-Information) > > [Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Seminole-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Casino-Tampa.h1044188.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Palms Resort Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Paradise-Palms-Resort-Orlando.h9013245.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Hills Resort by Global Resort Homes](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Windsor-Hills-Resort-By-Global-Resort-Homes.h2348246.Hotel-Information) > > [The Suites at Magic Tree](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-The-Suites-At-Magic-Tree.h3924.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Resort Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Orlando.h24054711.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn & Suites By the Parks](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Suites-By-The-Parks.h18866.Hotel-Information) > > [Encantada Resort Vacation Townhomes by IDILIQ](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-CLC-Encantada-Resort-Vacation-Townhomes.h4651255.Hotel-Information) > > [Encore Resort and Water Park at Reunion by Rentyl](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Encore-Resort-At-Reunion.h15190527.Hotel-Information) > > [Westgate Towers Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Westgate-Towers-Resort.h170878.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grove Resort & Water Park Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-The-Grove-Resort-Water-Park-Orlando.h4691657.Hotel-Information) > > [Shuttle to Disney World + On-Site Water Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Shuttle-To-Disney-World-On-Site-Water-Park.h32562438.Hotel-Information) > > [Westgate Town Center Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Westgate-Town-Center-Resort.h426819.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Cottages Orlando by Rentyl](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Orlando-Cottages-By-Rentyl.h27548551.Hotel-Information) > > [Orbit One Vacation Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Orbit-One-Vacation-Villas.h7233.Hotel-Information) > > [Westgate Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Westgate-Resorts.h33243663.Hotel-Information) > > [The Berkley, Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-The-Berkley.h1695932.Hotel-Information) > > [Destiny Palms Hotel Maingate West](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Destiny-Palms-Hotel-Maingate-West.h427337.Hotel-Information) > > [Summer Bay Orlando by Exploria Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Summer-Bay-Orlando-By-Exploria-Resorts.h104060.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Miami West - Airport Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Miami-West-Airport-Area.h3672.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Palms Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Windsor-Palms-Resort.h28950888.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club Mystic Dunes Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Mystic-Dunes-Resort-Golf-Club-By-Diamond-Resorts.h890951.Hotel-Information) > > [Champions World Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Champions-World-Resort.h50766.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Jacksonville-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h27136.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón](https://www.expedia.ca/Naples-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton-Naples.h788295.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club Aqua Sol Orlando West](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Liki-Tiki-Village.h692650.Hotel-Information)
