Wave goodbye to the crowds and hello to Aqua Essence Unit 2, a bright 2-bedroom, 2-bath Gulf front getaway on the quiet sands of Cape San Blas. Your private oceanfront deck gives you a front-row view of the Gulf, perfect for slow mornings and al fresco dinners with nothing but the sound of the waves. Inside, an airy open-concept living area and well-equipped kitchen keep things easy, from lazy breakfasts to laid-back evenings in. Spend unhurried days strolling the shoreline, then trade stories around the fire pit as the stars come out. Unit 2 is one of three side-by-side Gulf front units, so bring the whole crew and book two, or the entire triplex, for the holidays! With beach access just steps away and pets welcome, it's your peaceful place to unwind from autumn getaways to year-end celebrations.
 
Property Highlights:
- Hush Hour on the Deck: Private oceanfront deck with a high-top dining table for al fresco meals, with nothing but the sound of the waves
- Crowd-Free Coastline: Beach access just steps away for long, quiet strolls and turquoise swims during the Cape's most peaceful time of year
- Fire Up the Good Times: Shared fire pit and BBQ area for grilling the catch of the day and toasting the year's best moments under the stars
- Gather 'Round: Open-concept living with ample seating and a kitchen stocked with cookware essentials for easy meals and holiday spreads
- Room for the Whole Crew: Gulf-front bedroom with ocean views, plus a bayside bedroom with a queen bed and twin sofa sleeper for families or extra guests
- Simple & Stress-Free: High-speed WiFi, an in-unit washer and dryer, and an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand

We loved our stay at Aqua Essence 2! The location was off the main road, right on the beach, yet near enough to the local stores that we could bike or walk to meals. Management staff was very helpful in ensuring a smooth check-in & stay. Thank you! - (Mar 2025 - VRBO)

The photos of this home are very good, but they don't do it justice! Very pretty and comfortable. Kitchen is immaculate and newly decorated. Everything you need to prepare meals, all new appliances. Cozy bedrooms are upstairs, both have sitting areas for relaxing. Also a full bathroom upstairs so no need to maneuver steps in the night. The deck overlooks the gulf, the view is gorgeous, sunsets, waves, beach... The owner has creatively optimized the area between the dunes and the house with a nice seating / picnic area. There are grills, a table, seating and fireplace. As for the area, it's on the cape so getting to "town" is a drive although you can walk to a restaurant, store and ice cream stand. There is a state park at the end of the peninsula - well worth the drive. Very fun! Would definitely stay again. - (Nov 2024 - VRBO)
