** Virtually walk through the property with us: https://youtu.be/Gr60moqB8J4

Newly remodeled after the hurricane with brand new flooring! Brand new open, modern gourmet kitchen with farm sink, new refrigerator/freezer, range/stove, and dishwasher. See the ocean and pool (shared by 6 houses)from the family room, or sit out on the huge front porch with Adirondack chairs. Also, there is a new 55" flat screen tv and an
in-cabinet electric fireplace for those cool, romantic nights. There are two master bedrooms with king-sized beds and private baths. All pictures were taken May 2024. Monthly discounts don't apply from May thru October.

The Chunky Monkey also has its own private outside shower and bathroom and two separate places to rinse the sugar-white sand off your feet (1st & 2nd floor). Clean your fish on an outside table with its own water supply on the other side of the carport. Kids love to clean up in the open-air shower and run into the house clean!

Walk into the front door to a bright, spacious great room with a well-stocked kitchen (K-cup Friendly coffee maker), open to two dining areas and a living room with a 55" flat-screen TV to watch your favorite Netflix obsession. There are 2 tables to keep puzzles out, play card games, or seat 14 for an epic dinner party! Surf the web on our WIFI network or enjoy a smart TV in every bedroom. There is also an extra full-sized refrigerator downstairs for all your party supplies! A gas grill is available for your cookouts.

On the first floor, there are two bedrooms: A KING-size bed in one room with 10" plush memory foam mattress. a sizable hall bath; and a kids' bunk room with 2 sets of bunk beds. A recent addition to the "Kids Room" are 2 sets of bunk beds, all with double memory foam mattresses....6" memory foam top bunk, and an 8" memory foam so the room can accommodate adults as well as kids. There are new black-out curtains in all the bedrooms so while on vacation you can enjoy sleeping particularly the little ones. My daughter's little ones slept an hour longer every morning so she was thrilled!!

On the second floor, you will find the master suite with a huge private balcony, KING-size bed, pillow-top mattress, HUGE walk-in closet, and private en-suite bath with double sinks, separate shower, and jacuzzi tub for 2. A Walk-in closet could even be a bedroom for young kids.

There is a second bright bedroom on the second floor with a KING-size bed, pillow-top mattress, office desk and chair, ceiling fan, large closet, and en-suite bath.

The 3rd floor has an "eagles nest" viewing balcony where you can have wine or cocktails and enjoy the beautiful view.

Scallop Cove/General Store is only a few steps away right across the street! They have everything--clothes, gifts, hot food, bike rentals, video games, gas, fishing equipment, licenses & bait. My kids make 2-3 trips a day for hand-scooped ice cream, candy, you name it! I too find it convenient for that one little thing I forgot to get at the store. Also right across the street is Beach Planet where you can pick up an extra swimsuit, CSB gifts and resort wear.

Discover the serenity of a family vacation in "old" Florida. There are no HIGHRISES on Cape San Blas so the beach is empty compared to Destin or PCB. Get out of the rat race and go back in time...a slower time. Bring your paddleboard or kayak, or you can rent one right across the street. Be with nature on the long walking trail that takes you to the state park at the end of the cape where the ocean and bay unite--on the list of one of the best beaches in the world.

If you get up early enough you might just see the tracks of female Giant Sea Turtle as she makes her way up the beach to lay eggs and then returns to the sea. Or hunt for that perfect shell as you stroll on the beach in the early morning breeze with your coffee in hand. The dolphins might just follow you as you walk along the beach. They love to frolic early in the morning.

Lounge under an umbrella while the kids build sandcastles and swim in the surf. Bring your fishing rods and catch your dinner...the whiting and red snapper are great. Sip your wine and watch the sunset from any of the 3 decks. Take the kids out "crab spotting" at night for a fun time they will never forget. Make snow angels in the sand under the incredible Milky Way at night. You can see more stars than you have ever dreamed of seeing. Build bonfires, roast marshmallows, and make yummy smores. Be sure to go scalloping down at St. Joe Park in July. It is only a mile or two away. Discover this special oasis and make it an annual trip with your family. If you have baby needs (crib, stroller,car seat etc) you can rent them through this website:

During the Summer (May 15-Sept15) the house rents from Saturday to Saturday. During the rest of the year, there is a 4 night minimum stay.

Great Stay at Chunky Monkey

We loved our stay at Chunky Monkey. The location on the Cape was great. It was nice having Scallop Cover general store right behind us. The house was great overall! Very spacious and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen has everything you'll need! We went 2 days after Hurricane Helene. We were so thankful the owners did everything they could to ensure we could still go. Unfortunately, the storm washed out the stairs to our beach, so we couldnt get down the giant drop off. It seemed as though they were being fixed as we were leaving. My only complaint is regarding the "pet friendly" listing of the home. It is not pet friendly. Sure, your dog can go...however you will be greeted by a letter letting you know your pet is absolutely not allowed on any furniture or beds. To me, that is not pet friendly and is information that should be known before booking. May I suggest providing sheets or covers to put over the couches? Also, there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property as the listing states. And contrary to apparently their belief - it is a thing at the beach too. Overall, our stay was great. We appreciate you allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

While our time at Chunky Monkey was cut short due to mandatory evacuation from Hurricane Helene, we can attest to how clean and well appointed this home was. Had we been able to stay, our family would have had ample room to stretch out. It is so close to the beach it cannot be beat. The property management rep and owner were easy to communicate with and very helpful when we needed to leave quickly. We would rent Chunky Monkey again!

We love Chunky Monkey!!

This was our first time staying at the Chunky Monkey! This house was a great fit for our family and had everything we have been looking for in a rental(plenty of room for everyone to have a room and access to a bathroom, open floor plan with enough room for us to all eat together, a pool, plenty of parking and a very close access to the beach…just to name a few:) The owner(Susie) is very easy to communicate with and got back to us quickly when we had questions! We loved this house and the location! We definitely plan to stay here again!

First time to Cape San Blas and we loved it. Hunky Monkey was more than what we expected. Location is great for the Cape and easy to get to shopping and restaurants in Port St Joe. Pool at your front door and beach about 70 yards away. Owner was great and were sent a Welcome letter prior to arriving with all pertinent info. Will definitely book again. Great time and great memories.

Disappointing

First, to be clear this response is not about the Chunkey Monkey itself as my family and I were not able to stay in the home. This review is of the rental experience and the area. This was our first trip to Cape San Blas and we were very pleased with the area and what it has to offer. The personnel at Cape San Blas Realty and Property Management and Persnell’s Boat Rentals were both awesome! However, the home rental experience was disappointing to say the least. Upon arrival at 3:30PM on Saturday, July 15, 2023 we found cars parked and people coming outside to go to the pool from the Chunkey Monkey. Much to our surprise! We learned the week of July 15, 2023 – July 22, 2023, which had been booked and paid for in October 2022, had been double booked and we were the losers. Four hours later we were provided with the access code and address for our new stay for the week. However, it was much less than the house we had paid for. The square footage was smaller, no sunsets (we had to drive to see one), only 1 king bed, only 2 ceiling fans in the entire house just to name a few differences. After getting over the shock, we did make the best of our time together and enjoyed the area and what it has to offer. We have learned a lot and this survey is to remind everyone BEWARE AS YOU NEVER KNOW. We have rented through VRBO for years in a variety of locations but to say to the least it might be our last.

Chunky Monkey Did Not Disappoint!

We had a fantastic time staying at the Chunky Monkey! 3 families (6 adults; 7 kids ages 12-5) - plenty of space for us all! The home is nicely done and decorated, it was very clean with many amenities. The short walk over the boardwalk to the beach was just fine for our families. Location was perfect for everything we wanted to do. The only downside was the pool is not heated and only 1 roll of toilet paper per BR (knowing what was included ahead would have been helpful). Great place and would recommend to others!
