QUIET CAPE SAN BLAS LOCATION

Sand and Solace is located on the peaceful south end of Cape San Blas, close to Salinas Park, St. Joseph Bay and Indian Pass. Spend your vacation swimming, kayaking, fishing, shelling, watching sunsets or simply slowing down together.

Cape San Blas is loved for its quiet, secluded setting. The nearest full-service grocery stores are approximately 30 minutes away, so we recommend purchasing groceries before arriving.

HIGH-SPEED INTERNET

High-speed mesh Wi-Fi is provided throughout the home. As with many coastal communities, brief service interruptions may occasionally occur during severe weather or local utility outages. Cellular coverage varies by carrier.

POOL HEATING

Optional pool heating is available for $50 per night and must be purchased for the full reservation.

The heater generally raises the water temperature approximately 10–15 degrees above the outdoor air temperature. Performance depends on weather conditions, and a specific water temperature cannot be guaranteed. Pool heating may be ineffective during colder winter weather.

DOG-FRIENDLY STAYS

Dogs are welcome with prior approval and payment of the pet fee displayed in the reservation. All dogs must be included when submitting the booking request.

Please contact us before booking if you would like approval for more than one dog or a dog weighing more than 50 pounds.

STAIRS

The home has multiple levels connected by stairs and does not have an elevator. Guests who have difficulty navigating stairs should review the layout carefully before booking.

SECURITY CAMERAS

Two exterior security cameras are installed for safety and property protection. One monitors the driveway, and the second monitors the front entrance. There are no cameras or recording devices inside the home or in private guest areas.

HEATING AND COOLING

To protect the air-conditioning systems during periods of extreme heat and humidity, thermostats may not be set below 68 degrees. Exterior doors and windows must remain closed while the air conditioning is operating.

HVAC performance and thermostat settings may be monitored remotely for maintenance and system protection. No audio or video monitoring occurs inside the home.

WEATHER AND TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS

Reservations are subject to the cancellation policy selected at booking. Refunds outside that policy are provided only when a governmental authority issues a mandatory evacuation order affecting the property during the reservation.

Any refund will be limited to unused nights directly affected by the mandatory evacuation order.

Rain, wind, tropical weather without a mandatory evacuation, beach conditions, transportation interruptions, utility outages, illness and changes in personal travel plans do not qualify for refunds outside the applicable cancellation policy.

We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance to protect your vacation investment.

GUEST SUPPORT

Our guest-services team is available daily from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Central. Urgent after-hours property concerns are monitored and addressed as quickly as possible. Call 911 for any medical, fire or life-safety emergency.

Your feedback was helpful in making sure those items received the attention they needed.

This modern house was perfect for our family. It was exactly as advertised and exceeded our expectations. The pool and outdoor lounge area were outstanding, and the beach was only a short walk away. The included beach wagon and chairs made our trips to the beach easy and convenient.Our host, Dan, did an amazing job coordinating everything and checked in with us daily to make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back.Donnie

This house is a perfect spot to get away. Beach access is a couple of minutes out the back gate. The pool is wonderful with lots of lounges and a living area under shade. There is an ice machine and drink fridge by the pool and grilling area.Two bedrooms share a covered porch perfect for coffee drinking in the morning. There is also a well appointed porch outside the living room kitchen area. My only complaint is that our stay wasn’t longer.

Fantastic Beach Location

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and beautifully decorated. The outdoor furniture was top-notch. It was a short walk to the beach, and the owner provided a beach cart and chairs. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing. We highly recommend this house and location if you are looking for a relaxing, not too crowded vacation. The property owner was quick to reapond to messages and very accommodating.

Amazing beach trip

Great week with family. There were 7 total and we had a blast. Beach was a short walk and the pool was awesome. Every detail of this house was perfect. From the beach towels and wagon provided to the communication with Dan. This house is perfect with all the rooms we had plenty of space. We would definitely come back.

This house was TOP NOTCH! From my early communication with the owner about the property and him answering my questions, to staying and then checking out, he was transparent, helpful, quick to respond and super friendly! We were VERY excited about this property as it was brand new AND had everything on “our list” plus more. This would be our Framily’s 3 summer in CSB and have had great houses each time but this could be the best! And I have to say, it didn’t disappoint. We loved the house, the layout (especially the kitchen/dining/den), the outdoor area, furnishings and decor, all of it. There were a few super minor little things that were all “new house growning pains” that weren’t a big deal and will get sorted out in no time. And Dan communicated with us about those things. Highly recommend this property!

Great property!! We loved everything about this property. Great location. Very short and quick walk to a nice not crowded beach. The backyard was perfect for our family and kids friends. We played a ton of basketball and volleyball in the pool. The property was very clean as well. The host was quick to communicate and was very helpful prior to the visit. We had a small item that needed fixed and the host had someone there that day to correct. We would suggest this property to anyone!
