Excellent place to stay, cannot wait to go back. Would definitely rent here again, very close walk to the beach, loved not having to bring my beach chairs from home. There were plenty there!! Upon arrival, the downstairs air wasn't blowing cool air. Repair man were there within an hour and had us fixed and cool again.!!

I love Cape San Blas and this beautiful home. Kathmandu was nothing short of perfect for our family. The views of the gulf and peaceful neighborhood were so relaxing. We walked to dinner, took a short drive to the community store and launched the kayaks all within 5 minutes of the home. Thank you for sharing your home!

Great stay

We had an amazing stay at this house, everything was even better in person. The house is very close to the beach which was perfect because we wanted to stay somewhere that had a good view and didn’t require a car to get to the beach. The house was well equipped with usual house needs, and we really appreciated the beach chairs. Everything was very clean, and the house had a great beachy vibe to it. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at katmandu!

Katmandu itself is wonderful... the pictures don’t do this place justice! Plenty of space, super tall ceilings makes it feel even bigger. Plenty of seating for larger groups, comfortable beds, and steps to the beach. The house is nicely decorated and has all the conveniences you’d need. You won’t be disappointed!

Wonderful family & pet friendly beach house!

We were the first renters in Katmandu, as it is a new Cape San Blas beach house. It was our first time to the area and we fell in love with it. The house is beautifully done and had everything we needed and more. We found it extremely kid and dog friendly which was a big requirement for us. There were many thoughtful little touches as well. Be Our Guest management was very helpful and responsive to our needs. We look forward to our next trip to Katmandu!

Nice property steps from the beach

The property is very nice and well stocked. The location is literally steps from the beach. We spent time sitting on both the front and back porches after our days at the beach. The kitchen is a good size for cooking meals for a family. We had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only complaint we have is that, although the house was clean, it was very dusty upon our arrival.

Loved KMD

We had such a good week at this beach house. It was very clean and seemed new. Had a nicely stocked kitchen. There were beach chairs and beach towels on property. You can’t really tell from the pictures but there is a master right off the garage that isn’t exactly attached to the rest of the house that my 23 yo sister and her friend stayed it. It was like a studio apartment basically. It was a short walk to the beach and no stairs to access the beach. Would definitley stay here again.

Spacious, clean home close to beach

This property was much roomier than it appeared in the listing and very clean. It's located about 3 houses from beach, so a short walk, and close to the state park for boat ramp. There is plenty of room in the driveway for additional cars or boat. Kitchen was well stocked. We very much enjoyed our stay and the beach in this area is beautiful with clear water. The AC did struggle to cool in warm afternoons, but we left blinds closed and this helped. I would suggest door mats and broom/dust pan to help keep sand off floors. Overall, would highly recommend!!

Brooks, we discovered an issue with the lower unit AC unit after you left and it has been repaired. Sorry for the trouble and wish we had known! Katmadu is in a great location with very easy access to the beautiful emerald waters of the Gulf. Sugar white sand and phenomenal sunsets top off the list with this well maintained home!

I left this in Brian's inbox but since i didn't receive a response ill leave it here. Brian,I wanted to let you know we enjoyed our stay, your home is fabulous and we will be back. A couple of things i wanted to mention, I know they said there was an "outage" regarding the wifi but the TV in the living room worked. The tv's in the bedrooms hardly worked at all, it was very sporadic and we weren't able to enjoy them in the morning or late evening. Also the suite downstairs does not get cool enough, the minute you open the door a couple of times its warm again and it takes a long time to cool down. Also, we found plates in the cabinet that had food on them, they were put between other plates as if they ate on them and stuck them up there, there was a coffee cup filled with grease that had been there awhile and the pans had to all be rewashed as they had food stuck to them. I mention these things as we had a place in PCB and these kind of updates would have helped us maintain the unit more efficiently and I'm sure these are type of things you would like to know about as the owner. Thank you for taking these into consideration, again we do love the house and will be back!Laurel Raben

Beautiful Home - Beautiful Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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: Photos are deceiving - in a GREAT way. The home is much larger than we anticipated. Everyone (9 of us) was comfortable - sleeping and hanging out. Super short walk to the very quiet beach. Bring bug spray as the mosquitos are fierce in the evenings. We didn't have the best weather, 2 sunny days out of 4, but we had lots of room in the house to play card and board games. 5 of the boys played golf on the last day and the ladies relaxed on the beach, then we had a bonfire dinner/s'mores that evening. Perfection! The downstairs master is a total "get away" - it was perfect! The kitchen was stocked with every cooking utensil imaginable - even a waffle iron and a small crockpot for queso. The property managers did an excellent job making sure the home was clean and cool when we arrived. Check-in / check-out were a breeze. We will certainly stay here again.
