Owner's Map of Cape San Blas
Mike and I fell in love with Cape San Blas from the moment we stepped foot on the beach! It felt like going to the beaches of our childhoods! Uncrowded (even in the summer), shells to find, bald eagles flying overhead, turtle nests in the dunes, and those marvelous dolphins jumping in and out of the surf! The dolphins actually helped our Realtor sell us our house ... we were standing on the porch off the Master Bedroom debating our investment when out of nowhere jumped these two beautiful mammals! We were sold. Our Realtor was happy! Come see what we saw and just relax ... the sound of the surf from our porches is amazing!

Homeowner Response:
Hi Pat! Thanks for your entry. We aim to please ... so we added the extra Main Floor bathroom this spring for our renters! As to the pool comment, I am on the board of directors at SeaGrass Subdivision and many of us that own homes in SeaGrass also own other properties on the Cape. It is perfectly OK to use the SeaGrass pool if you rent Be By The Sea. If my rental company does not want to get involved so be it. Thanks again for your kind comments! Keli Davies

We had a fabulous time. Your home is beautiful! We could not have asked for more. We enjoyed the state park many times. The beach at the park is beautiful. Thank you so much and hopefully we will find our way back to "Be By The Sea" in the future. My mom joined us the first night on her way to Destin and she LOVED your place. They spent the entire day on Thursday driving around Appalachacola (?) I am sure that she would love to talk to you. Thanks again!

Our brand new Gulf front home,(completed May 2004),has been a pleasure from start to finish to build and furnish. We are very excited to share our beach home with you. From the moment you walk in the door, until you drift asleep under the mosquito-netted king bed in the Master bedroom, we hope that your imagination takes you far away to the tropical West Indies for a vacation that you will never forget and will want to return to year after year. Come, "Be by the Sea" and have a magical summer with us! The dolphins are waiting for you! (really!)
