About this property

At 148 Aruba Drive there's a place called Kokomo. It’s where you wanna go to get away from it all!

Just a few steps to the world's most beautiful white sandy beach and crystal clear blue water. Enjoy watching the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico from the deck or view the pristine beach from every room. Minutes from one of Florida's purest and most natural bays, where fish and scallops are abundant.

The only sound you will hear is the crashing of the waves. You will share this beach with more Loggerhead Turtles, Bald Eagles, and other native wildlife than people. This is eco-tourism at its finest.

Kokomo provides about 1600 square feet of living space. This includes two bedrooms and two baths on the main level. The master bedroom has a king-size bed. The second bedroom has a queen-size. It also offers a large loft (two full-size beds and a queen-size sleeper sofa). The family room, dining room, and kitchen are open and spacious. The dining room accommodates eight while four may sit at the bar overlooking the kitchen.

The deck is also perfect for relaxing and watching sunsets that rival those off the Florida Keys. Ample covered parking for vehicles and space for accommodating a modest boat and trailer (please inquire regarding size restrictions).

There are no ferris wheels, IHOPs, or tacky T-shirt shops. This is old Florida - thankfully, the Forgotten Coast of Florida. However, it is only a short drive to historic Apalachicola and only about an hour to Panama City.

We have books, board games, videos, and toys for all ages. Come get away from it all and enjoy the natural rhythms of our Kokomo!

Perfect for our Babymoon!

My husband and I had such a wonderful, relaxing vacation here with our dog. We LOVED how dog friendly this house was. The couches all had covers, which made cleaning such a breeze. We enjoyed many nights relaxing on the deck with our dog, listening to the ocean. The townhouse is a quick walk to the beach! I’m pregnant, and our dog is anti exercise and even he didn’t mind the walk! Haha. Our dog is crate trained, and there was plenty of room in the house for his crate. This house was truly perfect for us, and we can’t wait to book our next vacation here! Also, we highly recommend eating at Hunts Oyster Bar and trying Webers Donuts!

Amazing Cape San Blas Location

Incredible location, close to the general store, really close to the beach front. Inside was very well appointed and tasteful as it was functional. Outside space was minimally appointed. Will definitely be staying here again!

First Visit to Cape San Blas

We had no idea what to expect, but the Cape was beautiful! The area was much quieter and more relaxed than other areas we have been on 30A. The location was perfect with easy access to the beach, Trading Post, donuts, ice cream, and a few restaurants!

Spring Break Stay

We had a wonderful time staying here for spring break. Very short walk to the beach and also to the trading post which has everything you need for a perfect beach getaway. The home was very clean and had plenty of kitchen and cleaning items which made our stay easy and enjoyable. Would stay here again! Thank you for sharing your home.

Great weekend getaway

My family spent a great weekend before sending the kids back to school. The property was clean and comfortable. Beach access is very close, which is nice. Pet friendly! Parking is a little tight if you drive a taller vehicle, but is manageable. Overall, great place to stay. Would recommend!

Family Vacation

We had a great time. There were 10 of us, and we never felt cramped. The house has a view of the gulf and is an easy walk to the beach. The owners are very responsive and furnished the house with everything we could want or need. Would definitely rent this house again.

Okay Stay

We had an okay stay at Kokomo. Cape San Blas is beautiful and the location was good. it is super close to the trading post which was nice. The bike trail is incredible, along with the state park. We felt like the place needed a deep clean. Trash was overflowing the trash can outside when we arrived. Baseboards were missing and painters tape was found around the condo. Lots of dust and dirt seen around the air vents. It was an “okay” place to stay for a few nights which is why I gave a 3/5 star review.

Family vacation

We stayed here for a week. Super.close to the beach. However, since beach restoration and hurricane beach is hard to access. Not homeowners problem, mother nature's. But my kids liked the "space" and the hose was very well kept up. Super great location on the peninsula!

Great location

Property was as described, owners were quick to respond when I had questions while booking, and this the location is convenient for running to the trading post, beach and anything you could need. We had plenty of room for our family. They even had some new chairs and beach items. Perfect walking distance to the beach even with the erosion issues at the end of the drive. Things to note when booking, backing out with an suv or truck was a bit more difficult due to the drive being narrow, not the owners fault. The parking area underneath has support going across that does not allow quite as much clearance for taller vehicles. Our cherokee trailhawk with roof rack barely fit under, we had to unload parked beside the house then pull in. My dads stock F150 also barely fit under. Just some good to know info for anyone coming in larger vehicles.

About the host

Hosted by Melease

We live in Tallahassee, Florida. We have two children. Our oldest is married with children. Our youngest is a teenager. We love the beach. This is a little slice of our heaven. We would love to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this area when we visited. It is not congested like most beaches. Our house is spacious with two bedrooms, two baths as well as the kitchen and dining on one level. It is about 80 steps to the beach and has a large deck. Perfect for a quiet get away!

What makes this property unique

Our house is walking distance to The Trading Post, a quaint convenient store that provides those incidental items you might have forgotten. They also offer donuts made on-site but go early because they will sell out.
