About this property
120’ of BEACHFRONT BEAUTY! Best Gulf Front Location by State Park, 1 floor!
This home sits on the beach at the North end of the Cape, close to entrance of state park with less traffic and we Welcome Pets :) LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! There is no other place on the Cape like this one! Discover the rare 120 feet beachfront property with panoramic ocean views with a private boardwalk right to the beach.. In fact, the person who built this beach home was the original owner of the entire Cape San Blas Peninsula. He could have built anywhere on the Cape but he chose this site to construct his dream beach house. It is located on the very North End of the Cape, approximately 1000 feet from the entrance to the rated #1 beach at the State Park. This property is approximately 3/4 acre with a direct view of the ocean with undisturbed dunes and vegetation. If you are new to the area, the further North on the Cape, the bigger the dunes, the water is clearer, and the color of the sea is bright blue. This home is not in a crowded subdivision, which means much more privacy for you. The dolphins also agree as they frequently visit in large pods. What an amazing sight to see up close. Bring your fishing pole, explore the beach and see the turtle nests, spot the eagles catching their dinner, or just go for a simple swim with an alluring beautiful ocean. This home has it all!
'Hidden Treasure' is the true meaning of a beach house. The beautiful drive to the home with the scenic view of the CAPE, with ocean on one side and the beautiful Bay on the other. is breath taking! Drive through the custom gate "Hidden Treasure" into a private paradise which the home sits on a gorgeous 15-20 foot dune. This 120 foot Gulf front property is a place where you can relax enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Walk directly down to the ocean from the 60 foot porch to your PRIVATE boardwalk to the beach. No need to pack your lunch - the beach is only 25 feet from the house! The crystal blue water will make you feel as if you were on a Caribbean island. Enjoy the beautiful beach with white powdered sand and lots of seashells to be found. This is truly paradise found and a dream come true!
This home is like brand new with all the renovations after Hurricane Michael. New luxury vinyl floors, furniture, linens, electronics, roof, hurricane proof windows and doors, cellular shades, and much more. The layout of the house is a simple split design. The open concept is perfect for entertaining with a large living room with new patio doors with blinds inside the door, dining room, and kitchen. This large area with cathedral ceilings can have the whole family together but everyone can be doing their own thing. There is a 65 inch flat screen TV, cable, and wireless Wifi. Read a book on our comfortable couch/ sleeper in one area, watch TV in another, sit at the table and search the internet, or cook up a gourmet meal while gazing out to the ocean. The kitchen is fully stocked with granite countertops, top of line appliances, and a large bar that can accommodate friends and family. Please note that we do NOT provide a grill for outdoor cooking. We are so close to the ocean that the grills rust within months of purchasing. which cause many safety concerns (rust, fire hazards, etc...)
The master suite is located on one end of the living area, and two bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bath, are located on the other. The master suite and one guest bedroom have entrances to the 60 foot deck overlooking the beach! Our guests will have sweet dreams on the king size tempurpedic bed. There is a brand new master bath with walk in shower, dual sinks in new vanity , and shiplap to boot!
Sun Sets Right in Front of Your 60 Foot Covered and Screened In Porch! This porch is enclosed so you can open the doors and windows for a soft flowing breeze throughout the home during the off summer months. There is the convenience of a washer/dryer in the laundry room.
The home has been freshly painted with an outdoor shower, surrounded with a white vinyl privacy fence, and an upgraded driveway with tropical colored pavers.
There is a wonderful bike and walking path that leads from the entrance of Cape San Blas all the way to the State Park (appx 7 miles). It is great for jogging, biking, exploring, and very safe for children. Up to (2) beloved dogs are welcomed in this home and the beach is pet friendly! There is a pet fee for each dog (no cats please). Please pick up after your pets (poop) on the property and on the beach, so we can continue to have one of the last pet friendly beaches around!
We look forward to sharing our lovely beach house with you, your family, and guests. Make new memories at 'Hidden Treasure.'

Beautiful home and the best location on the cape. Kitchen is well set up for cooking anything you might want and house is calm and serene in its decor. The best part is the screen porch. Perfect for relaxing and watching the ocean. Dr Leslie is very easy to work with. Would highly recommend this rental.
Best view and location we’ve ever had renting! It was fabulous and exactly like the description and pictures. It was great and we will definitely be back!

Thank you for your wonderful review of 10 out of 10. The pictures are great also. We are happy for your return and spent another vacation on this fantastic beach!
Leslie
Hidden Treasure is an excellent vacation home. In fact, the best we have staying at along the Forgotten Coast. The house was spotless and well furnished. Access to the beach is via a well constructed private walkway. The house is positioned toward the Gulf just enough to enjoy total privacy from the large screened porch. I would easily re-book this house upon returning to Cape San Blas. Our Host provided excellent communications. The sunsets were picture perfect, and the night sky completely dark with only brilliant stars and the milky way to provide light.

WOW! Love this review,,, best on the Forgotten Coast! We try our best to have our guests feel that complete getaway from the hussle and bussle of real life. The location is perfect and we are so glad to share our "Hidden Treasure". We have just stained that beautiful boardwalk that you mentioned.
See ya next year!!!

Hidden Treasure was perfect for our needs. Easy access to the beach, with a lovely covered and screened in porch facing the water. We had everything we needed, especially privacy. Our Host was informative and helpful with suggestions and information about the property. We felt right at home, along with our beloved senior Lab, Sammy. He was very busy overseeing the beach everyday from the deck. Thank you Hidden Treasures for being Pet Friendly. We appreciate the opportunity to vacation with our 4 legged family member.

We were delighted to have your family stay with us! Thank you for taking such good care of our home and you are welcome to come back anytime. The sunsets are spectacular and change nightly. I hear you didn't want to leave... next time, try 2 weeks!
Cheers,
Dr. Leslie
We had a great time the week of July 4th the house was just as listed and we will be back again
We have been going to the Cape for over 25 years and this was the best place we've stayed at open floor plan so everyone can talk and nobody is left out when inside. Perfect beach area and access with great views and the screend porch made it even better we will be back.

Isn't that the truth! The sun sets right in front of the screened in porch. Like having your own private sunset. It was so nice to meet you and your family! We welcome you back for another stay and some more chats.
Cheers,
Leslie
We loved this home! It was very clean, beautifully decorated, & comfy! The host was very attentive. Beautiful sunsets and the softest sand! Loved the back screened porch area and the Captain Chairs! We look forward to coming back in the future!

Thank you so much for the wonderful 5 star review. We work so hard for the traveler to come and escape the hustle & bustle of life and relax on this piece of paradise. Take a seat on the tall captain's chair and watch the grab and go fishers scoop up their meal for the day. Come again and listen to the roaring sea!

Great place to escape
We recently spent a week here with 4 adults and 2 kids... had a great time! The house is very well kept and has everything you need to call it home for the week. The location is perfect! Private beach access and quiet space all around. We'll definitely be back.

Short, sweet, and right to the point. We believe that this location is magical! The ocean is aqua, sand is white and clean, beach home sits on a 20 foot dune with 120 feet of ocean frontage with no neighbors on either side. What more can a person want?
The house is beautiful and the location is perfect! The refrigerator broke down while we were there and Dr. Leslie took care of it immediately. It was a great week!

What luck that the refrigerator just stopped 2 days before Thanksgiving? We couldn’t have that and since we are a small town who cares about our visitors, our local Ace was able to deliver and set up a brand new refrigerator immediately. Another blessing… your family was great and we are happy that you had a wonderful week at our 5 star “Hidden Treasure”!
Right in the beach, very clean and well appointed. Beautiful, uncrowded beach and views of the gulf. The owner was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any concerns. We’ll definitely be back!!!!

Thank you for sharing to others what a great experience your family had at "Hidden Treasure." Great RENOVATION & LOCATION is key!!!
I loved this ranch style home. It had fantastic views of the ocean and a large screen porch that everyone could enjoy at the same time. The kitchen was great and the open floor plan was really nice for our family to spend time together. I would highly recommend this home.
Absolutely fantastic! The house was immaculate and extremely well located on the quiet beach. It has everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed the quiet beach and the sunsets from the porch. We will be back!

Quiet beach, aqua water, beautiful sunsets from a 60' porch, and immaculate home.... sounds good to me... Thank you.
We can’t say enough nice things about this place. Dr. Leslie made sure everything was satisfactory and was easy to communicate with. The property was as described and was extremely well equipped. The porch is the perfect spot to view the amazing sunsets.

It is like having your own private sunsets right in front of the 60 foot porch! We look forward to sharing" Hidden Treasure" again with you soon...
We've stayed at Hidden Treasure before and will return. We love the location and you can't beat beach front! Beach is not crowded and the sunsets are impressive. Leslie is a wonderful host. The house is clean, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Beautiful beach view and fantastic porch.
Loved our stay here. An older but nice house. We spent most of our time on the great screened in porch. Our only concern about kitchen amenities was promptly and completely resolved by Leslie who was very accessible and gave great customer service. Would definitely rent again.

Thank you Theresa for your nice review. A bit of history: This home was one of the first houses to be built on the Cape. The original owner that bought the entire Cape Peninsula, chose this location to build his dream beach home. The 60 foot covered porch was added on later to enjoy the incredible views all the time. This charming home gives you the feel of “Old Florida”.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Beautiful beach, beautifully restored house
We really enjoyed our stay--such a beautiful location and with limited enough housing that it was not too crowded. The interior of the house was clean, well-designed and decorated. My only recommendations are: renters should ensure they have the entry code before arriving because the cell signal is not good; and bring your own pan and a couple of knives as the fresh seafood is great and you will want to cook at home!
Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Apr 2023
We provide the entry code in your initial information packet 60 days before arrival. Although I felt that the kitchen is well stocked, I did add some new pots, pans, and knives. Of course, I am always a phone call away for needs that arrive during your stay.
Dr. Leslie
This house is steps from the sand, with its own private walkway. It was plenty of space for our family of 4. The kitchen is well equipped. We spent most of our time on the screened in porch, and especially loved the sunsets! We will be back!
This house is absolutely beautiful. The pictures online are exactly right. The views from the screened in porch are breathtaking. The sugar white sand , and the fires on the beach at night were memories we will never forget.

About the host
Hosted by Dr. Leslie Biagini
This UNIQUE piece of Paradise Property is a real Gem! They don't make properties like this anymore. We want to share this Gulf front beach home with others to experience the true nature of beauty that surrounds "Hidden Treasure."
Why they chose this property
North end of the Cape, Private, Secluded, with 120 feet of beachfront. A true escape from the real world. Overlook large dunes while sitting on your 60 foot covered/screened in porch, having your morning coffee.
What makes this property unique
No Packing or loading up the car, beach is steps away. (appx 10 from home). Sunsets are breathtaking which occurs directly in front of the spacious porch.
