Beach Front Fun & Relaxation
Beach Front Home On Cape San Blas
Seahorse Haven is located directly on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico on the pristine Cape San Blas beach which means there is nothing but beautiful white sand between you and the gulf! This vibrant, fun, yet tastefully decorated beachfront home offers outstanding gulf views from the family room, dining room, master bedroom, both upstairs bedrooms and the large, beautifully furnished, screened-in porch. Your own private boardwalk escorts you to the beach so you can leave your shoes, along with your worries, at home!
On the first level, you will find a fully stocked kitchen with stainless steel appliances including a double oven, side-by-side refrigerator with ice-maker, microwave, and dishwasher. A wonderful dining area with seating for 8 is adjacent to the kitchen plus there is a countertop bar next to the dining table that seats 4.
A large, memory-making family room is on the first floor and features a very large 60” TV above the mood-setting fireplace. Or, you can also enjoy the outstanding views of the Gulf of Mexico resting comfortably on your sofa or love seat! This room opens up to a 12’ by 38’ screened in porch with second dining table (seats 6), sitting area, and lounge area. This screened-in space is perfect for taking full advantage of being oceanside with its cooling breezes without necessarily going out in the sun. And why is it that meals taste so much better when served alfresco on this protected, beachside deck? For sun lovers, this screened-in porch flows onto a beach-side, open sun deck.
The Master Bedroom with a comfy King bed is on this floor and a sliding glass door provides immediate access to the screened-in porch and to the beach. Watch high definition TV from your master bed on the huge 60” flat screen mounted over the bedroom’s fireplace. The master bathroom has double sinks and a wonderful walk-in shower and also serves Bedroom 2 which has a Queen bed and is located conveniently on this first floor.
Bedrooms 3 and 4 are on the second floor. Bedroom 3 has a Queen bed and bedroom 4 has 2 twins. Each upstairs bedroom have TV’s and a wonderful built-in window-seat on which to read or watch the ocean waves. These rooms share an upstairs bathroom with a bathtub/shower.
Seahorse Haven also features a sensational private, outdoor shower with both cold and hot water. It’s a wonderful place to wash off the sand after a day on the beach or to just cool down while sun bathing.
Things To Do:
Cape San Blas now has an 8+ mile bike path that glides parallel to the beach before turning toward Port St. Joe. This great addition encourages walkers and bike riders to enjoy the views of both the beach and of St. Joe Bay. The quiet bike trail is easily accessible across just across the street from Seahorse Haven.
Visit the acclaimed, nearby St. Joseph Peninsula State Park which offers phenomenal beauty and diversity of wildlife in a completely undisturbed environment at the end of the Cape. You do not want to miss spending time there.
Rent a charter fishing boat to experience tremendous fishing opportunities both in St. Joe Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
Enjoy visiting the nearby small towns of Port St. Joe and Apalachicola, Florida, both which still remind many of “Old Florida”—a time long since passed but which still lives on in many ways in this part of Florida. Great shopping surprises also await you there and the local restaurants are casual, fun, and feature truly wonderful seafood.
But perhaps the very best thing to do at Seahorse Haven is to make sure you are home during sunset! Nothing compares to viewing the unbelievable Gulf of Mexico sunset from the comfort of your screened-in porch where you will truly feel like you are in a "Seahorse Haven"!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Perfect location and the house was great! The bed was comfortable. The shower was awesome! The kitchen large enough to cook in. It was a great stay! I would stay here again.
It was the perfect stay! House was so clean and the views were incredible! Ease of check in and check out was definitely a plus. Loved the screened in porch and such an easy walk to the beach. Can’t wait to come back again. Love this sweet beach home. We had everything we needed.
The Seahorse Haven was just an incredible place to stay, just steps away from the beach! The views from the porch were inspiring and very colorful as the sun set each night. A wonderful place to relax, walk on the beach, and decompress! I highly recommend Seahorse Haven! I'll be back soon!

We just returned from Seahorse Haven. I will echo what everyone else said, this is much bigger than it looks and was comfortable for our group that utilized all four bedrooms. The porch is a show-stopper and the rooms are all comfortably appointed. Everything you need in the kitchen is provided and, as always, the management company is extremely responsive and helpful.

Overall wonderful vacation rental!Biggest drawback is the extremely poor internet...typical download speed (when you could connect) was 2 Mbps...much too slow for most websites to connect. This is compounded by lack of cell phone coverage (at least for our ATT and Tmobile phones). If you need to connect for anything, or expect to stream music...this will be an ongoing challenge for you. As much as we loved the house and location...this will probably keep us from renting again unless I have my own alternative means of connecting in the future.

Reviewer Comments:
The porch was great and the location was wonderful.However, this home needs all new bed pillows and a deep cleaning. There are intricate art panels above the master bed that have lots of caked on dust in all the crevices, the ceiling fan is so dusty that we could not use it. All the window blinds in the entire house are covered in dust, and the lampshades need either cleaning or replacement. Also, the homeowner has accrued so many decorative items that were displayed on all the tables, dressers, and counters. We ended up collecting many of them and putting them carefully in a closet so we could use the space during our visit without fear of damaging their items. Perhaps these items could be brought out when the homeowners are there, but renters don’t want to damage items and also need cleared space. At this price point, we expected a clean home. Maybe it’s time to hire new cleaners?

We stayed at Seahorse Haven during Spring Break in March. The pictures of this home were good, but didn't do it justice! It was so roomy, clean and beautifully decorated. This house was absolutely perfect for smaller families. The screened in back porch was the perfect hangout to unwind after a long day at the beach. This house is just steps from the ocean on a quiet section of the beach! Our two dogs had such a wonderful time and there weren't too many stairs for our older dog to try and climb. We will definitely be back to Seahorse Haven on our next visit to Cape San Blas!!

Reviewer Comments:
We had looked at this house last year and decided this would be the house to bring the grand kids in the summer. The house was great. The kitchen was as well stocked as any house we have ever stayed at in the 28 years we have been comming to Cape San wife is not very mobile and the boardwalk to the beach was great for her, and the screened porch is a wonderful asset. Overall the house is great. Mow the downside. The drive needs some work-it is very rough, and a big bump entering the concrete parking slab. The only toilet area downstairs as two pocket doors. One does not work at all and one is very hard to operate. Looks to me that swing doors would be fine in these locations. If the items were corrected the house would be perfect.
We arrived at this property at 8 p.m. on a Saturday and immediately noticed serious issues. Entire ceilings in the bathrooms, closets, and laundry room were covered in mold, with additional large patches (some larger than a basketball) in other areas of the home. Paint was peeling from the entire master toilet room, suggesting long-term water intrusion. A strong musty odor was present, and there was evidence of cockroach activity in the kitchen.I reported the problems right away through text, VRBO messaging, and phone, but did not receive a response until noon the following day when the office opened. During that time, my family began experiencing symptoms such as headaches and nausea, which we associated with the musty environment.When I finally reached the property manager, the explanation was that the house was old and located in a difficult climate, which came across as dismissive rather than apologetic. The alternative home offered was significantly inferior, lacking beachfront views and privacy, and was not comparable to what was advertised. Only after I declined this option did they eventually promise a refund.Basic hospitality was also lacking — the only toiletries provided were a collection of old hotel soaps, and there were no beach towels or shampoo.The property conditions created clear health and safety concerns, the response was slow and unhelpful, and the resolution did not reflect the standard of service or accommodation that was promised.

My family had a perfect week at Seahorse Haven. The house was everything we needed: spacious rooms with a practical, usable layout. The kitchen was well-stocked with plenty of storage containers, handheld appliances, dishes/glasses, and even an empty cabinet to store our groceries! The whimsical decor added to the vacation feel--lots of care was spent decorating/supplying this home. The screened porch, however, was gold. It was quite roomy with plentiful, sturdy, and comfortable furnishings. We spent much time in this space. Other plusses: we loved the location on the beach (easy access & not crowded), the space under the house with a full shower, and another comfortable seating area. This was our first time using Coastal Joe Rentals, and I will definitely use them again. Every contact with them was friendly, helpful, and professional. They went out of their way to ensure we had a perfect stay on Cape San Blas.

Loved our week here! Just my spouse & I along with our 2 dogs & the layout was perfect for us. We stayed on the main floor & didn't even need the upstairs. The porch is welcoming with furniture to hang out & that's where we spent most our time when not on the beach. The kitchen is well stocked, comfy beds, & fluffy towels. Our only issue is with the lack of basic essentials supplied by the management company. No kitchen garbage bags (other than the 1 in the can) & no note that we needed to bring more. 1 pack of powder dishwasher detergent was provided. Upon arrival the dishes were so dirty I had to hand wash everything we planned on using. Then each time I used the dishwasher, the same outcome occurred - dirty dishes. Never could figure out if the dishwasher prefers liquid or what? Either way, skimping on dish detergent isn't something you want to do to ensure sanitation & safety for future guests. Also, the lack of hand soap at each sink? Suggest - ditch the bag/cup offering & spend that $ on soaps. Other than that, yes we'd stay here again :-)

great location and a perfect home for the two of us and our fur baby. As other have said this house is larger than it looks and the porch is the best feature. We spent the majority of our time on the porch. If you are traveling with more than two couples, the only drawback is only one full bath on the lower level, so you have to share the bath. We will definately be back for another quick get away!! Thank you Seahorse Haven for a great stay!!

The pros: The house's location was fantastic--just a quick walk down the private boardwalk to the beach. Couldn't be more convenient. The sunsets from the back porch were wonderful. The house is bigger than it looks in the pictures and the screened back porch was fabulous. The cons: The house could use some updates and a deep cleaning, though. It looked like rugs and furniture hadn't been cleaned in a while. Some of the decor is dated and could use replacing. All in all, we enjoyed our stay due to the location and the back porch.
