We have two large mutt dogs -- Phoebe (106 pounds), Austin (84 pounds) and one cat, Nellie (9 pounds).
Why they chose this property
Our friends Anne & Jim turned us on to Cape San Blas because we were looking for a dog friendly beach. We immediately fell in love with CSB due to the very laid-back vibe, being surrounded by both the Bay and the Gulf, the white-sand beach, the delicious seafood, plus the very friendly locals. What more could we ask for?! It is our place to unwind and de-stress. We plan our day around the sunset -- Cape San Blas has the best!
What makes this property unique
Our favorite things at CSB are the quiet, low-key relaxed feeling, kayaking on the Bay, local oysters/shrimp/grouper/tuna dip, long dog walks on the beach, bike-riding on the 8-mile trail, hiking at the Stump Hole and at St. Joe State Park, shopping at Apalachicola, the local beer (Oyster City brewery), early morning donuts at Weber's, the convenience of Tradin' Post general store, and, of course, the sunsets from the porch!
