DETAILS: Leisurely beach days await at the aptly named Down the Shore. This charming 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home sleeps up to 10 guests in North Cape San Blas—less than 500 feet from dedicated beach access! Savor refreshing swims in the private pool, casual nights roasting s’mores around the firepit, or alfresco meals on the spacious balcony, with views of the Gulf in the distance. The secluded beauty of the Forgotten Coast offers an unmatched escape, featuring sugary white sand beaches, sparkling turquoise waters, abundant wildlife, and a laid-back lifestyle perfect for scenic walks, paddleboarding, and horseback rides on the beach.

Classic beach charm emanates from this 2-story abode. Palm trees dot the landscape, bringing a breezy feel to the beautifully designed outdoor spaces. Spend warm afternoons relaxing beside the brilliant blue fenced-in pool. The outdoor shower makes rinsing off after trips to the beach easy, while a grill and picnic table invite a classic barbecue night. Don’t forget to end the evening stargazing around the firepit! Inside, a bunk room with 2 twin-over-twin beds and a private bathroom cozily accommodates guests young in age or spirit, with a comfy lounge across the hall offering extra space to relax.

Take the interior or exterior stairs to the second main level. A woven sisal rug, slip-covered furniture, and accents of soft blue create a calm, beachy atmosphere for unwinding or watching TV. The kitchen is well-equipped with high-end appliances and a vast center island that doubles as a breakfast bar for 4. When it’s time to dine, there’s space for 8 at the farmhouse dining table, or enjoy an alfresco experience on the balcony with peek-a-boo water views. Adirondack chairs offer comfortable seating for after-dinner coffee and cocktails in the refreshing Gulf air. For restful nights, retreat to the primary bedroom boasting a king bed and private bathroom or the 2 lovely guest bedrooms, each with a queen bed. A washer and dryer add convenience for extended stays.

Escape to Down the Shore for a carefree North Cape San Blas vacation, with beach access at the end of the road! On-site parking makes it easy to visit nearby Salinas and T.H. Stone Memorial State Park. Book today!

Loved this home and the pool was such a nice touch. They had everything you needed. The towels are ONE towel, one hand towel, and one wash cloth per person regardless of length (we were there 7 nights) so plan accordingly or you’ll be doing laundry often. Also they do not provide beach towels. There is a great breakfast spot up the street only 1/2 a mile which was a nice walk in the morning. The home was lovely and we could stay again. Communication was fast as well!

We are pleased you enjoyed the pool and found Down the Shore comfortable. We really appreciate the feedback about towels and have passed it on for review. We are glad you discovered that breakfast spot nearby, and we love that you would consider staying with us again. Thank you for choosing 360 Blue!

Overall, this home and location is very quiet and wonderful! If you are looking for a party spot, this is NOT it and it was exactly what we wanted. Perfect location for a relaxing evening sunset stroll on the beach, however you will have to take a short drive elsewhere if you want to see the morning sunrise. This was our first trip with our toddler grandson. The additional space downstairs worked well for us to set up his pack-n-play to sleep. Upstairs beds were very comfortable, and pillows very plush. The twin bunk beds (downstairs) have more flat pillows if you want them. Gas grill was great, and both grilling and kitchen utensils were plentiful. Bring your own cooking spices! The private pool is very relaxing. However, if you are a beach family, plan to bring your own beach chairs/tent, or plan at least a day ahead with VayKay Rental. We were given a credit to rent ahead of time, but it did not cover the cost for our group of six1 and cost us an additional 100 for the week. Purchasing chairs aren't cheap either. Skully's crab boil is delicious!! My family had it twice during our stay!! We also dined at Hunt's on Wednesday around 5pm, however it took more than an hour for our group of 6 to get our food (very unhappy toddler). On our last day, we rode bikes to the state park. We regret not going sooner and making a beach day out of it as it seems to be one of those unknown gems! The water is so beautiful and the beach is so clean and wonderful. :)
