My wife and I were looking for a place to get away for a few days and we came across this place. It was clean and had clear instructions on how to get it. The only issue that is no real deterrent was that the boardwalk out to the dock with the netting is pretty long, but it has no side rails. So as someone with a balance issue that could be scary, but it is completely optional to use.

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!

Sweet Spot on the Bay

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. It was nice having the back deck overlooking the bay to catch beautiful sunrises. I took my kayak and was able to get in the crystal clear water from the dock that goes out from the back yard. Saw lots of redfish swimming around and sea trout jumping while I was paddling around. The kids enjoyed paddle boarding in the bay and seeing tons of hermit crabs and other sea life. Accommodations were great. Bed was super comfy. Kitchen well-equipped. Had a little internet issue, and the owner came to help within 15 minutes. Great guy. Would definitely recommend this property.

Excellent Rental

This beautiful rental was true to pictures and well situated on the peninsula just minutes from the park. We enjoyed sunrise and moonrise over the bay from the lovely dock. We enjoyed several trips on our paddle board right off the dock and around Pig Island. We saw lots of fish, rays, turtles, and egrets. The outdoor shower was a great bonus with privacy, hooks for our towels and gear, and enough space to wash down the paddle boards. Well stocked kitchen for cooking and comfortable beds and linens. So nice to arrive to a bottle of bubbly and some coffee from the hosts. Trading post and fish market are just across the street for anything one may need.

Clean and quiet

The property was as described. It was clean, quiet, and contained all the essentials to a weeklong stay. The sunrise view off the back porch was picture perfect. We are an avid boating family. The following feedback is not negative but factual for others looking to bring their boat on vacation. The bay is not accessible at all tide levels from the property’s dock if you draft more than 10”. For this reason we trailered our 21’ bayboat to the state park ramp daily. When we finished boating for the day, the rental property’s parking areas was large enough to wash and store the boat when not in use. Tylor was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. We enjoyed our time on the Cape and look to make another trip.

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.
