AMAZING, PEACEFUL, CLEAN, MOST PERFECT BAY HOME BY FAR!!!!!
Prior to leaving, up until the day we left for our Family Vacation, we had an AMAZING Experience with the Owner. She actually went above and beyond to make sure we were all accommodated. No single question went unanswered. She was constantly on top of everything! Once arriving, we were in AWE of the cleanliness and spacey rooms throughout the home. So GORGEOUS Too!!! They do an EXCELLENT job of taking care of their home. Most importantly, their Guests! I couldn’t be more happier with the Memories we made while staying at the Bay House!!! We will certainly be back!!!

Sunsets sunsets sunsets
Amazing stay at the BayHouse! So many beautiful sunsets to see and enjoy from the huge covered decks. The house has everything you need and was so comfortable and clean. The location is fabulous. We explored cape San Blas port st Joe St. George island and every beach in between. The drive into town for groceries or a dinner out affords that amazing view the whole way. Great place to stay!

We stayed the week of the 4th and will definitely return. This house is conveniently located between the port and the cape. The house is beautiful and had plenty of room for our family of 6. Highly recommend this place to future renters.
