After a long day at the beach, you can retreat to your backyard oasis under the stars cooking hotdogs or smores on the fire pit and relaxing in your private hot tub. Or lounge and relax and let the kids splash around in the ocean-side private pool (pool heat available for additional charge).

We also have a fenced in front yard to let the dogs play. Two dogs are welcome with a non-refundable pet fee. The beaches of Cape San Blas are also very dog friendly!

Wonderful Place! Well Stocked!

The property was wonderful and fit our needs perfectly! Our kids enjoyed their first hot tub experience and enjoyed playing Clue for the first time. The kitchen had everything we needed, the gas grill worked great and was clean, the decorations were up to date, and they even left a shirt and bottle of wine for a welcome! Highly recommend.

Perfect Spring Break Getaway

We loved this house and discovering Cape San Blas/Port St. Joe for the first time - 3 adults and 3 teens. The house and location are even better in person. The yard areas give it a cozy vibe, whether in the pool, hot tub, on decks. Beautiful palms and flowers. The house is very clean, nicely decorated and completely stocked, so close to the beach, beautiful views. Great rooms/bathrooms. Thoughtful touches by owners. We rode bikes often to each of two nearby grocery stores (2 minutes), got donuts at Webers, shopped & ate in PSJ, climbed the lighthouse (pretty park), got tasty seafood at St. Joe Shrimp Co nearby, visited the state park. I really hope to return! It was tough to leave! Ashley is really great and easy to communicate with. Thankful they share this gem.

Great Views, Close to Beach, Comfortable Stay

Our group of six adults stayed in this beach house for a week and it met all of our needs. It's a closer walk to the beach then the pictures show, great views from the main deck and the master bedroom to enjoy in the morning and evening, pool was great to hang out by when it got too hot on the beach and having a fenced in area for our two dogs made it great for them as well. There is plenty of room to spread out in the beach house, a very well stocked kitchen with several small appliances like a toaster and crockpot, and a big kitchen table to eat at. We made all of our meals during the week and the kitchen was well suited for us. There were six beach chairs in good condition available for us to use, beach towels and an amazing outdoor shower! I've been to Cape San Blas five times and this was the best place I've stayed at. It's also walking distance to the trading post, beachwear and other amenities in the area. The host is also very easy to get a hold of, checked in during our stay and was easy to communicate with.

Excellent vacation stay with family

One of the most well stocked kitchens we have rented. Perfect for our families with 4 under four. Layout is nice, proximity to beach cannot be beat, and the pool and firepit were hits with everyone. The extra beach chairs were fantastic with plenty of extra beach play toys for the kids. The one full tub made kids bath time a little challenging, but manageable. Would have liked a couple extra bath/wash towels to be able to use with the kids. Overall property was very clean, but floors could use a good scrubbing and a little dust on the ceiling fans. Overall the families were very pleased with out stay. Ashley was a fantastic host and very responsive to our inquiries and made sure we were fully satisfied. We plan to repeat as soon as we are able.

The perfect beach house

We had a wonderful time at this beach house. It is so close to the beach, closer than some beachfront properties I have stayed in before. The house is fully stocked and clean. The acoustics of this house are top notch, which sounds really silly, but the sound of a big family doesn't carry to each area of the house. We will be staying here again !

Great home on the cape!

This was our first time visiting Cape San Blas, and we loved it! My husband, our pup, and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. The home included everything we needed. We could’ve even left some of our beach accessories as the host provided so much. Kitchen was well stocked and bed was comfy. The hot tub was amazing in the evenings! We did not utilize the pool much due to temperature, but in the summertime I bet it’s fabulous. Overall we loved our stay and would absolutely return. Cape San Blas is quiet, easy going, and beautiful. We will return and would choose this home again!
