Magnolia: 7 BR Beachfront Home - Pet Friendly, Priv. Pool, Sleeps 24!

The house was not as described or what was in the pictures. The week was cold and we had several kids between our house and the house next door. The heated pool didn’t work and neither did the hot tub. There’s a lot of water damage to the floors and nothing has been updated. Would not recommend this house especially for the price! Very disappointed!

We were are group of 22 and the house was extremely spacious and was able to accommodate everyone. Steps away from the beach with all the privacy you need. The kids really enjoyed the pool as it is decent size for a beach house and the hot tub was clean and maintained as well. The only issues we had is with the bathroom doors as 5 of the 7 bathrooms were not able to lock. They fixed 3 during our stay but the others stayed as is as some have been nailed into the wall. We also had the fire alarms go off in the middle of the night the first two nights but maintenance came in and replaced them on the 3rd day. There is no night life at Cap San Bles but I would definitely recommend this place for a quiet family/group vacation. Recommendations for the property manager: post pictures of all the bedrooms and have the master bedrooms bathroom doors fixed or put in some kind of locks and add a light by the pool as there are none.

The house was perfect to accommodate our party of 19, 5 families. We had 9 kids ranging from 1-5; the pool, the beach, and space were perfect. The long dining table was such a treat for our entire party to dine together. The only issue we had was figuring out the thermostats, as some rooms were really cold while some were very warm. Overall it was a great week, and we will be back. We highly recommend this location and this property.

My family and I decided to book a relaxing beach front home for our family reunion. We were greeted with major construction next door that was not disclosed anywhere before booking. An hour before check in on a Friday we got a phone call asking us if we wanted to switch houses because of the construction. We didn’t hear back till the next work day, Monday, but by then we were settled in with 3 babies and it would’ve been challenging to switch. The management team stated that if we decided to stay they would issue us a full refund after discussing it with the owner. We decided to stay and put up with the intrusion (no privacy fence) and loud sounds. We also paid an extra $350 to use the heated pool/hot tub but we were not able to use either because the heating never worked and the hot tub was filthy. They sent someone over to try and fix it 3 days before check out. The only good thing about this home is the direct access to the beach. We enjoyed family time together but the house didn’t make relaxing any easier. It’s been almost a week after checkout and we are still waiting on our refund. I recommend this home when the construction next door is finished! Until then, save your time and money and book elsewhere. Also, the nearest major grocery store is a 30 min drive. Only book if you want seclusion. The home is also 3 flights of stairs and not easy for grandparents or toddlers.

We are very grateful to the homeowners for having a pet-friendly home. We always travel with our fur-children. Although Hurricane Ida sent us some rainy days, we really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean upon our arrival. It's always a pleasure to work with Cape and Coast.

This was an amazing home that accommodated our group of 21 family and friends. We had everything we needed, and if something came up, the owners were right on it! The access to beach, your own pool and hot tub, you can't go wrong!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a group of 17 people ranging all ages. The home and property were amazing! The view is breathtaking and the pool/patio area is perfect for hanging out. The area felt VERY private which is exactly what we were looking for. We felt like we were on a private island far away. The home has everything you need and the rental company was great to work with. They answered all our questions and quickly corrected any maintenance issues (very few) we had.

Some bedrooms were absolutely freezing. Room temperature was a problem. Other than that, everything was great.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First, we LOVED Magnolia @ Secluded Dunes! We had four families totaling 20: kids, parents and one grandma. The bedrooms and living spaces fit us very well. Thank you for sharing your home with us!ProsThe beach and views were outstanding. White sand, short walk over the dunes to the beach... could not have been better. Amazingly, the pictures online just can't do the view justice.The elevator was key for grandma. She could not have done three flights of steps all vacation.The beach is what you would expect at the Cape: quiet, relaxing, dolphins, sand bottom water. The house was designed to accommodate a large group. The kids could play in the pool room and the adults could hangout in the kitchen/living room.Finally, the pool, patio and decks were wonderful. It is hard to find a good pool beachfront at the Cape. Magnolia has one of the best!ConsWe got an email just before arrival that the glass in a window was broken. When we got there, both sheets of glass on a double sliding door were broken held together with tape. It did not seem safe at all and it did not get fixed/worked on while we where there. We emailed maintenance that the microwave didn't work the first day of our stay. We got an email back that they would have someone out to replace it. That would have been fine, but then we saw another review where the same microwave was broken back in May. There was a tiny camper sized microwave there, but it was not at all adequate for a group of 20.Overall, we had an amazing time at an amazing place.
