2 Bedroom / 1 Bath Vacation Rental Villa on Cape San Blas.
Whether you're flocking south for the season or just craving a last-minute getaway, Cape San Blas is calling. Book your stay before December 31st and enjoy 15% off 25' bookings - the tide's in your favor! (Discount already reflected in the listed price)
Welcome to Scallop Cove #5 (Blue Tortuga), a charming and cozy bayfront villa nestled along the glistening waters of St. Joseph's Bay. Perfect for a relaxing costal escape, this two-bedroom retreat offers comfort and convenience with one bedroom featuring a queen bed and the other bedroom with one double/twin bunk, ideal for families. The bathroom, with a walk-in shower, is conveniently accessible from both sides of the hallway. Stocked kitchen for cooking your daily catch and high speed Wifi to stay connected.
Step outside onto the spacious deck, where you can enjoy meals at the picnic table or unwind in the screened-in porch, all while soaking in the natural beauty around you.
With a fishing peir just steps from your front door, you can cast a line and watch the sunrise over the bay, then stroll across to the Gulf side for breathtaking sunsets on the sandy beaches of Cape San Blas. You can anchor your boat just off the pier in the shallow protected waters near Pig's Island, making this an ideal spot for boaters and anglers. ***Pier not permitted for mooring***. Beach lovers will appreciate the dedicated boardwalk right across from the cottage, offering easy access to the Gulf shoreline (3-5 min walk).
Parking for two vehicles is available.
For those looking for local adventure, you're perfectly positioned behind the best bait and tackle shop on the Cape, where you'll find expert advice on fishing and gear rentals, including kayaks and canoes. The adjacent grocery store and gas station ensure that you'll never run out of supplies, so you can focus on enjoying your stay.
Nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and St. Joseph's Bay, Cape San Blas is a natural paradise, surrounded by miles of pristine beaches, emerald green waters, and protected wildlife habitats. It's common to spot deer, foxes, eagles, ospreys, sea turtles, and even the occasional black bear. Just minutes away, St. Joseph Peninsula State Park offers 2,500 acres of unspoiled beauty within 10 miles of untouched beach and bay shorelines, plus a convenient boat tramp.
Whether you're here to fish, kayak, explore the beaches, or simply relax in the peaceful surroundings, Scallop Cove #5 (Blue Tortuga) offers a perfect blend of adventure and serenity for your next Cape San Blas getaway.
AMENITIES NOTES: There is no washer/dryer in the unit. There is a small laundromat at the market next door.
