GULF & BAY VIEW HOME ON CAPE SAN BLAS

Some places just make you exhale.

Sanctuary sits quietly at the edge of Florida's Forgotten Coast — where the Gulf of Mexico stretches endlessly in front of you, St. Joseph Bay lies just behind, and the rest of the world genuinely cannot find you.

This isn't Old Florida nostalgia. This is Old Florida, still here. No high-rises. No waterslides. No lines. Just sugar-white sand, dolphin pods at dusk, pelicans in perfect formation, and the occasional bald eagle watching from a tall pine.

Walk two minutes from your door and you're barefoot on the beach.

Sanctuary was built for one purpose: to give your family — and yes, your dog — the kind of week you'll still be talking about in December.

🌅Morning at Sanctuary
Wake when you're ready. Step onto the wrap-around deck with coffee in hand and watch the Gulf light up in pink and gold. The Ice Cream Shop is a three-minute walk when you're ready. Or don't go anywhere. The deck and the view are enough.

🏖️ The Beach (Just a Two Minute Walk Away)
We timed it: door to sand in under two minutes via your private boardwalk. The beach here is the real Forgotten Coast — wide, quiet, and likely yours alone. Swim. Shell. Or just sit and remember what quiet sounds like.

🚣 Gulf & Bay Adventures
Sanctuary gives you two worlds of water. Kayaks are waiting for your St. Joseph Bay explorations — paddle to a sandbar, spot a stingray, or find the dolphins that work this shoreline daily. Prefer the Gulf? A two-minute walk away. Want a pontoon? Presnell's or Scallop Cove have you covered.

🍳 The Gourmet Kitchen
This is not a "fully equipped kitchen." This is a kitchen serious home cooks get excited about. Counter space, quality cookware, and room enough for the whole crew to cook together. Some of our guests' best meals have happened right here, not at a restaurant.

🛁 Wind Down Right
When the sun drops and dinner is done, the hot tub waits. The fire pit glows. Roast marshmallows. Tell the stories from the day. The stars here are extraordinary — no light pollution to dim them.

🐾 Bring the Whole Family (Yes, the Dog Too)
Cape San Blas has dog-friendly beaches. Sanctuary has a dog-friendly heart. Your four-legged family member is welcome here without apology.

Sanctuary

We enjoyed the Sanctuary because of the location, space and especially the gourmet kitchen. I was equally impressed with the property management’s communication and updates with us prior to our checking in. An added bonus was an additional night became available and we were able to make that happen. We would highly recommend the Sanctuary.

Great communication for anything we needed.Will definitely go back to The Sanctuary next time we plan a trip Cape San Blas.

A week at Sanctuary

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed another week visiting Cape San Blas! We noticed this house a few years ago and we were so excited when we found it available for a last minute beach trip. The house is beautiful! While not right on the water, the private boardwalk access was so close to the house (door to sand less then 2 min) We would absolutely stay here again! We were just a short walk to the trading post as well. Coastal Joes has been a great company to work with over the years! They were very attentive and easy to contact with questions.
