"Salty Scallop" located on the Cape of Cape San Blas in the secluded Cape Dunes (HOA with private deeded Gulf beach boardwalk just a 2-5 minute walk to beach with no roads to cross).
Beach house is one of the closet on Cape San Blas to Port St. Joe and Apalachicola restaurants and services a perfect base camp for exploring Old Florida's 'Unforgettable Coast'. Nature enthusiasts will rejoice at the proximity to the Loggerhead Walking/Biking Trail that extends the 8 mile length of the peninsula. A two minute walk to nearby Salinas Park features: nature walk (bald eagles), pickleball courts and the Scallop Republic (Tues.-Sat. after 5:00 p.m.) for the only craft beer/wine bar on the Cape featuring live music indoors and dramatic bay views. Drive 3 miles east to the famous Indian Pass Raw Bar for local oysters or 10 miles into downtown Port St. Joe to visit local shops and eateries. One of the few properties on the Cape that has peak-a-boo views of St. Joe Bay from the front deck and the Gulf of Mexico from the back deck. There is enough room for a comfortable stay for four adults accompanied by up to four children. (Sorry, absolutely NO Pets or Indoor Smoking). Kitchen is complete with new appliances: fridge, electric stove, microwave, coffee maker, Keurig, 4-slice toaster, cooking essentials and other luxuries of home plus a Full washer and dryer. Cook outside on the large industrial charcoal grill. Central AC with ceiling fans in all bedrooms if you enjoy a slight breeze. Open the master window and be serenaded by the sound of waves at night. Bedrooms feature new mattresses and bedding. Up to 1 Gig Wi-Fi internet with ethernet accessibility. Living room has 65" Smart TV with Sling, Netflix, Disney+, Pluto, ROKU so you can enjoy a movie. Master and Guest bedrooms are equipped with televisions for local Panama City Beach, FL and Dothan, AL broadcast channels. But, who wants to watch television when there's so much to do outdoors? Bring your fishing gear and grab a saltwater license because the onshore fishing can be great fun. Or, bring your bathing suits and take the kids swimming in the Gulf (watch for dolphins or manatees). Drive to the end of the Cape San Blas peninsula and visit T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park ($6 entry fee). There you can experience what The Travel Channel and 'Dr. Beach' has named America's #1-Ranked beach and Top State Park!

The Salty Scallop provided a perfect getaway! We enjoyed the house as a comfortable oasis. With an easy walk to the beach and an easy drive to places we went, it was a perfext location. Check-in was a breeze and we found everything as decribed. Great trip!
Great property - very short walk on a wooden boardwalk to the beach. House is appointed with everything needed for a great getaway including a wagon to easily pull all of your chairs, cooler, and beach toys to the beach!
So glad you were able to visit CSB and stay at our home. Our housekeeper said to give you additional kudos for leaving everything as clean as you found it. thank you.
The house was perfect for our needs and we had a good vacation. Well-stocked kitchen, all instructions were clear and detailed, and covered everything we needed to know. Finding the boardwalk was a little tricky the first day; perhaps the host could add a little diagram of how to get to it.
Wonderful stay with property as advertised. Ease of check in, great location, all essentials, and more as stated.

Why they chose this property
You really only need visit Cape San Blas once in your lifetime to understand one of Florida's last great treasures. This is a less spoiled area of the panhandle that still offers nature at its best...Depending on the time of year, you can witness: Dolphins, Whales, Manatees, Bald Eagles, Black Bears, Cougars, Foxes, Sting Rays...not to mention the great shelling!
