The gulf-front bedroom boasts a queen bed and stunning ocean views, perfect for waking up to the sound of the waves. Across the hall, the bayside bedroom offers a queen bed and a set of twin bunk beds - great for families or groups. A second full bathroom, complete with a tub/shower combo, is conveniently located between the bedrooms.
 
Step out onto your private oceanfront deck, where a high-top dining table invites you to enjoy meals al fresco with an uninterrupted view of the Gulf's breathtaking sunsets. Private beach access is just steps away, making it easy to maximize your time on the sandy shores. After your beach day, rinse off in the outdoor shower, keeping sand where it belongs.
 
In the evenings, gather with neighbors in the shared outdoor area, complete with a firepit and barbeque grill. Share stories, roast marshmallows, or enjoy a casual cookout under the starry sky.
 
Nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and St. Joseph's Bay, Cape San Blas is a natural paradise, surrounded by miles of pristine beaches, emerald green waters, and protected wildlife habitats. It's common to spot deer, foxes, eagles, ospreys, sea turtles, and even the occasional black bear.

This property is a bit more outdated than I thought from the pics. The A/C upstairs definitely needs to be updated, as the bedrooms stayed pretty warm.LOVE the paint colors, very airy and light feeling!The sofa had a good bit of remaining pet hair from the previous renter, so that was a bit discouraging, but otherwise pretty clean. - (Oct 2025 - VRBO)

Check in was easy. Home was very clean and tidy. The kitchen was well appointed and met our needs. Bedrooms were small and a bit cramped but we were fine. The location could not have been better. The only problem we experienced was the electronic door lock malfunctioning but the property manager was very quick in resolving the matter. - (Aug 2025 - VRBO)

Very clean and had everything we needed. Took our two grandchildren and two dogs and all of them had a blast. Not only did we get to see beautiful sunsets every evening we were blessed to wake up to a beautiful rainbow over the ocean and seen dolphins jumping all while sitting on the deck. - (Aug 2025 - VRBO)

I really loved the Aqua Essence. The pictures don't do it justice, the house was spotless and really cute and beachy. The beds were really comfortable too and the kitchen was really well equipped. Best of all, the beach right in front. It was very beautiful, we loved the front, gated porch and our dog did, too. Amazing sunsets. Can't wait to return. - (Oct 2024 - VRBO)

Wonderful property!

We lived staying in Aqua Essence 3. The unit was clean and the kitchen was stocked well with every we needed to bake, fry, or grill. Best of all, the beach view is amazing and the walk was minimal. We'll be back next summer for sure! - (Aug 2023 - VRBO)
