Beds: 1 queen, 1 double/twin bunk
Situated on the Gulf of Mexico and St. Joseph Bay, surrounded by miles of protected habitat, white sandy beaches (voted the best beach in the US in 2002 by Dr. Beach), and emerald green waters, Cape San Blas looks like a curled finger of land jutting into the water and provides the protective barrier that keeps our surf so quiet and gentle. There are several parks and historic sites. It's not unusual to spot deer, fox, soaring eagles, osprey, sea turtles, or even a family of black bears. St. Joseph State Park is a 2500 acre wildlife refuge offering ten miles of uninhabited beach and bay shores and a boat ramp.
Maximum occupancy is 5 people, this is a strict limitation. Names and ages of all occupants shall be recorded on the rental agreement.

*****
Super clean, super well equipped for cooking, beautiful view of the bay and very convenient to the beach. The convenience of the store nearby was wonderful! The only downside is that the bedroom with the single bed is very tight. I am not sure it would work for larger build people, just because it would be very hard to access the closet area and one side of the bed. And the shower is also a small corner shower. It worked well for us but is something to note. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable option that doesn't involve sacrificing comfort and cleanliness! There is a great screened porch, and an open deck, as well as a nice yard to walk dogs. It's also the BEST view of the sunrise and a quick walk to the beach to see the sunset! - (Jul 2024 - VRBO)

As advertised, clean, and great views. I do recommend some updates to the property such as mini blinds and ceiling fans. - (Jun 2024 - VRBO)

Great view and an easy walk to the beach. I wish the beds were more comfortable but overall for the price this was a good deal. - (Apr 2024 - VRBO)

Great Location!
We had a wonderful stay! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our own meals so after stopping at the Piggly Wiggly on the way in we didn't leave the Cape until we checked out. Scallop Cove is literal steps away with a small selection of grocery items and even some beach gear so anything we decided we needed we just purchased there. We rented kayaks and bikes from San Flea rentals which we used almost daily. The sunrise from the back screened porch and deck was breathtakingly beautiful. And an easy walk across the street puts you on the beach. As for the home, it was just what we needed. A nice cozy place for the 2 of us. The outdoor shower was great for getting the sand off too! We enjoyed our stay and will be back! - (Jul 2023 - VRBO)

The home was perfect for myself, my husband, and two little boys. We had a great time watching the wildlife from the dock and back porch. The beach is a short walk from the cottage. My only suggestion was to update the pictures online as the home exceeded the expectation. Very clean, nicely updated, and comfortable. We are already planning our next stay! - (May 2023 - VRBO)

All we needed. Bungalow was clean and view of the bay was beautiful. Only suggestion is to replace the ceiling fan on the front porch. - (Mar 2023 - VRBO)

Nice and clean, rental was easy. Quiet place with lots of birds and other wildlife including bald eagles. Nice access to the gulf just across the street. We hope to be back some day. - (Mar 2023 - VRBO)
