The property was the cleanest I’ve stayed in. The kitchen was stocked with quality cookware. It was a great location for all ages of our group (5-45 years). We had easy dock access for scalloping in the bay and close beach access. So much to enjoy on Cape San Blas!

Great Place on the Cape

Bay Watchin Too is a great place. We’ve been coming to the Cape every year for the last 15 years and this is one of the coolest, cleanest places we have ever stayed. Great Bay views and a dock for your boat! Homes on both sides are full time residences with very friendly homeowners.Tyler is a great host. Highly recommend Bay Watchin too

one of the best stays

This 3 bedroom house has a great view of the bay and accesses a dock that leads right out over the water. Stunning sun rises. The house is recently renovated. Everything is clean and in excellent condition and is furnished with high-quality furniture, kitchenware, plates, and even spices and oils for cooking. Memory foam toppers on the beds. Tyler the owner is splendid to communicate with.

Again Please

I had a wonderful staycation (I live an hour away). In spite of not getting on the water, maybe even better to have the down time in this wonderful house. Every single thing about it- decor, outdoor spaces (shower and tub!), porch, dock, perfect kitchen- enabled me to completely relax and appreciate the beauty of the cape. I hope to stay here again in 2024.

Lovely bayside house

Loved this stay. Great house, super clean, fantastic location 10 min walk to the beach. Kitchen was better stocked than any other vacation rental I’ve ever stayed in. Deck overlooks bay with beautiful views and a gorgeous sunrise. The dock out to the water is perfect for kayaks. Our pup loved the yard. My only feedback is to add blackout blinds in the bunk room because the afternoon sun blasts through the window, making nap time bright. Tylor was great to work with. We’d stay here again!
