About this property
3 Bed/2 Bath North Cape San Blas Bay Front Home with Dock Access!!!
Welcome to Bay Watchin'! Secluded Bay Front home on North Cape San Blas with spectacular views of St. Joe Bay from the primary bedroom and living room/kitchen areas. The interior was recently completely renovated featuring all new kitchen appliances, cabinets, granite countertops, tiled bathrooms (showers and floors), bathroom vanities and new modern fixtures throughout.
Wake up and enjoy your coffee or breakfast on the large 2nd story deck overlooking the sunrise on St. Joe Bay. Enjoy the convenience of docking your bay style boat (water averages 2-3 feet at the end of the dock) at the end of 200 yard shared (with only 2 other homes) dock just feet from the channel. If you have a larger boat, there is plenty of parking at the house each night.
Love scallops?? You'll find a thriving scallop population right in Bay Watchin's back yard! The 2025 scallop season in Cape San Blas runs from August 16th - September 25th. You can scallop right from the dock and regularly harvest your limit!
Looking for pool access? Newly renovated Rish Park is only a 1.5 mile drive, walk, or bike ride away! See photos for Rish Park amenities that include a huge pool, nice restrooms/showers, and beach access to one of the best sections of beach on all of Cape San Blas.
The Cape San Blas bike path runs right past Bay Watchin's driveway making it even easier to bike or walk to some of the Capes best spots - Trading Post, Weber's Doughnuts, Ice cream shop, Peachy's (lunch only), Skully's and St Joe Shrimp Co.
Bay Watchin' is truly one of the best values in all of Cape San Blas!!

With all this I saved the best for last. You can still have bonfires (can you say oyster roasts?!?) on the beach and even ride horses with the local stables. This is definitely old Florida with beautiful sand and water as well as complete relaxation. You are going to LOVE IT!

We had a wonderful two week stay at Bay Watchin! The house was very clean and comfortable and the view was amazing! The owner was very helpful and quick to respond to our needs. We launched our boat at the very beautiful state park because it was too shallow at the dock during low tide. Would definitely stay here again with our dog!
Summer Breeze was so wonderful and the perfect accommodations for our family of 5! Kids loved the bunk beds and side yard to play in. Dock access was amazing for sunrises and relaxing on the hammock bed.Unit was very clean and well stocked kitchen for cooking. Spectacular views of the bay from the porch and home.We’ve been visiting Cape San Blas for years and have never stayed on the bay, but it was such a nice change! Amazing sunrises over the water. Public parking for beach access was just down the road. Good central location.
It was disappointing because scallop season was cancelled and that was the only reason we spend extra money for a dock.

Hello! I had zero control over scallop season being shortened. It’s disappointing that you reflected this in your review of my property. I take great pride in providing a 5 star experience but some things are just out of my control. I sincerely hope your group managed to still have a good vacation even without being able to scallop!
This was our second time staying here and it was just as gorgeous as I remembered. The view of the bay from the porch was amazing and sitting on the dock reading my book was so peaceful.
We really enjoyed the home! It's in a great location and easy to hop on the trail and bike or walk to the general store, ice cream and donut shops. Beach access was close and convenient. The house was very clean and the views of the bay were amazing!

So glad you enjoyed your stay!! We hope to host you again in the future
We greatly enjoyed our stay. We were able to fish from the dock, hang out at the beach, ride bikes and explore the Cape. The propery has great decor and is well equipped. Highly recommend!

I'm glad your group enjoyed your stay and all the property has to offer. See you next time!!
Took a boat. Fished and snorkeled. Always found plenty of places to eat. Loved the lack of traffic. Port st Joe is a nice clean town. Saw two bears. Nice park at the north end of the Cape.
This was a perfect cozy home for our family of 6. The dock leading to the bay was beautiful. It and the back deck are a great place to enjoy the scenery and wildlife. House is tucked away from the road so it feels secluded, but is just a quick drive (1-2 minute drive) down the road and across the street to the trading post store for access to food, snow cone, or necessities for vacation.
We always love our visits to the Cape and this was our second stay at this property. It is clean, spacious, comfortable, and well equipped. Bay access is non-negotiable for us when we visit CSB, and the dock at this property is sturdy and convenient. Communication with the owner was excellent. We’ll be back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this bayside retreat! It was the perfect size for my parents, my husband, and me. The house was well appointed, clean, and comfortable. We appreciated the dock as my brother who lives in PSJ could pick my dad up from there for fishing in the morning. We appreciate the owner sharing his home with us, and we look forward to returning!
Location was great- on the bay but we were able to walk across the street and cut thru to the beach. House was perfect for 4 of us plus the dog. Nice side yard to play football and frisbee. Enjoyed the kayaks that we used off the dock in the backyard. Owner was quick to respond to questions. Would definitely stay here again!
We were so impressed with this property. It was so clean, perfectly comfortable for the 4 of us. Close to everything, walking distance to Weber's, Skully's and Trade Posts. Kitchen was well equipped and TVs in 3 bedrooms had every streaming service we could ever need. We will definitely be back.

I am so glad to hear your group enjoyed the property. I agree, the home is in a prime location on the Cape!! Hope you stay with us again in the future. Thanks!!
We had a great time relaxing by the bay. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make family meals. Bay view is beautiful. If bringing a boat, it's shallow, even at high tide, but plenty of space to park and turn around if you launch daily from boat ramp. Third room is adequate for kids, but would be a challenge for adults. We really enjoyed our stay and would book this rental again. Excellent experience overall.
The house and location was perfect for our fishing trip.
A very clean house ,good communication with the owner.
Perfect kitchen update with new appliances and all ustensile what you need to cook a good meal.
Spacious bedrooms with a good quality mattress ,after a fishing day you sleep like a baby.
The porch was relaxing and perfect for a nice sunset.
A perfect trip!.
Thank you again !!
