Moonshadow Beach House on the Gulf, Dog-friendly

Moonshadow Beach House on the Gulf is one of the most pristine options for enjoying the Gulf

With direct beach access, this dog-friendly location will be a favorite!

Are you dreaming of recapturing the beach vacation of your youth? Remember the simple pleasures of walking barefoot on a wide, crystal-white sand shoreline and floating carefree in the warm tranquil gulf water, or reclining in your lounger while listening to the seagulls and watching the dolphins glide by just off-shore? After toasting an amazing crimson sunset, the gathered wood is coaxed into a welcoming roaring bonfire that invites you to roast marshmallows, chill, and prepare your expectations for another great day.

If you are dreaming of again enjoying those endless lazy days relaxing on an expansive, uncrowded, pristine sugar-white sand beach, then you are dreaming of a Moonshadow vacation!

Moonshadow Beach House is a freshly remodeled, three-bedroom, three-bathroom jewel-box of a gulf-front vacation house, with all the amenities you expect and deserve to fulfill your beach getaway dream.

The kitchen is all new with high-end stainless appliances, solid surface counters, and cherry cabinets. All three bedrooms have brand new luxurious king-sized beds and flat screen Smart TVs with blu-ray DVD players. En Suite bathrooms (one with walk in shower and the other with a shower/tub combo) complement two master bedrooms, and the third bedroom shares a hall guest bath that features a walk in shower.

The spacious family room features beautiful waterfront vistas as well as a 60" Smart TV when you are in the mood to watch movies or play games.

Outside on our deck, a gas BBQ is ready to grill your meal to perfection while you lounge in the nearby hammock.

There is carport parking under the house as well as generous space to store your watercraft. There is a large storage room containing chairs, floaties and other toys to ensure that you fully enjoy the beach, as well as a cart to carry your possessions to the welcoming white sands.

Upon your return, there is a convenient, private outdoor shower to rinse off before you go inside. If you still want to catch some rays, there is a large 8' x 30' deck off the family room and a screened porch ideal for vegging out.

The Moonshadow Beach House is ready to welcome you back to the beach, and help you realize your dream vacation!

Located in a small, quiet neighborhood, there is no access to the ground level of the house. Otherwise, the whole house is yours.

Idyllic beach vacation

Our stay was absolutely perfect! The house was clean, comfortable, and decorated with a relaxed coastal feel that made us feel right at home. Best of all it's pet-friendly, which meant our dog could enjoy the vacation with us, and he loved every minute of it!The location is unbeatable. Just a short walk to a quiet, uncrowded beach where we spent our days soaking up the sun, swimming, and taking long walks along the shore with our pup. The deck was the perfect place to relax in the evenings and watch the sunset. It was truly peaceful and private. The home had everything we needed, a well-equipped kitchen, , strong Wi-Fi, and thoughtful touches throughout including treats for dogs. The quiet neighborhood made for easy, worry free walks. The hosts were responsive and welcoming, and we appreciated the clear communication before and during our stay. If you're looking for a relaxing beach escape that includes your furry family member, this is the place. We can't wait to come back!

Great place to share with friends

This is a modest but very pleasant property with three bedrooms and three baths. We shared it among three couples and we were all comfortable with our own bath and bedroom (though one has bath across the hall. The kitchen, living, anddining areas as well as the porch were all comfortable for all of us to enjoy together and the beach is just a short walk away on the private boardwalk.It's not as big or fancy as a lot of the newer places that have been built recently but for the price it is very nice and I highly recommend it for a few couples to share or a family with two or three children.

We enjoyed our stay - the location was excellent. There was a strong mildew smell in the house, and the outdoor furniture was not usable at all - totally waterlogged and covered in mildew. Fortunately the views are wonderful even from inside with the doors open, but having usable outdoor furniture would have made the experience that much better.

Great time was had by all

The property was very clean and accommodated us very comfortably. The walk to the beach is just off the side of the house down a boardwalk, great location and easy access. The only thing that was a bit of nuisance is that the trash cans are at the end of the lane by the main road, so we had to walk about a block to drop it off or drive it over to the trash cans. But, only a small price to pay for such a lovely and quiet place. The beds were also very comfortable which is a huge plus in my book.

Perfect Winter Beach Weekend

We spent four nights at Moonshadow and it was simply perfect. The house itself is exactly what you want from a beach house - cozy with a great porch (with a view of the ocean) and screened in porch. The kitchen is well equipped and the living area is so comfortable. The real star of this property is the semi private boardwalk out to the beach. You could not ask for better access. In addition to the property itself, the owners and local managers are beyond kind and responsive. We brought our 11 year old rescue dog down to the beach for the first time and they went out of their way to make it special for all of us. We have stayed at many VRBOs in the past, but none with hospitality like Moonshadow. I cannot recommend this house enough!

I highly recommend staying in this house, it is very clean and located in a very quiet community. The interior and appliances are all up to date.The kitchen was well stocked with needed pots, pans, dishes, etc. The beds were very comfortable. I also loved sitting on the deck and peeking through the pine trees at the ocean view in the distance. It is just a short walk on the boardwalk to the beach. I plan to stay in this house again in the future. I loved the fact that our fur babies could join us and could actually go out on the beach. The owner, Chris, was very friendly and easy to work with. He was always punctual with replying to emails, etc. The beach in this area was so beautiful and not crowded at all. The water is not a crystal clear blue like other beaches but that was not an issue at all. I was told by one of the locals it is because nearby river flows into the ocean causing the water to look darker. This house is also a short beach front drive by golf cart or car to this beautiful reserve (not sure of the name of it) with amazing wildlife. I also loved the nearby quaint town of Port Saint Joe. They have lots of shops, some good restaurants and even a lighthouse to tour.

First visit to Cape San Blas (February)

The property and the location were perfect for our needs. My husband, myself and our young dog enjoyed the pet friendly beach. Nice short walk allowed for multiple visits. Everyone we met was friendly and had an understanding of how to introduce dogs properly, very helpful for a young dog still learning her manners. Bring your bikes because there is both a paved path for riding plus the beach is firm enough for hybrid bike tires or larger. Nice! A quiet relaxing place. The house had 3 good size bedrooms each with king beds. It was nice to visit a property that has decent size couches for people to relax. So many places have one couch and then chairs. How do you nap/watch a movie in a chair?! You should have as much seating as you do bed space and this house had it. Nice view from the deck too. The owners provided start up supplies for dish washing, laundry, coffee, and bathroom items you might forget (or to save you from having to shop the first day). Very thoughtful. Quick responses to any questions we had. We plan to return.

Great beachside getaway

The property was in a fabulous location. Plenty of activities to do nearby and the beach was gorgeous. The property was a little worn but everything was clean, comfortable, and in working order. We arrived about 40 minutes past check in time but the cleaning people were not done yet. We had to walk the beach in our hot travel clothes until it was ready. When we left, an inspector showed up prior to checkout. There was no communication regarding either event.

We had an amazing stay! Inside the home was beautifully and comfortably decorated and very well equipped for a family to stay a week. The short walk to the beach was easy and beautiful. I will say that if you are pregnant and have a 3 year old that likes to go back and forth to the house, it does become a bit of a long walk. The house is located a short drive to shopping and sights of PSJ and the cape. We truly had a beautiful stay!
