Cape San Blas cottage was perfect for our short vacation.

We stayed at the property so we would be convenient to our daughter and family who were staying in a RV a couple of miles away. We had the granddaughters over one night and enjoyed our stay. We certainly supported the Scallop Cove Market often. That made our stay very easy. We will stay again I’m sure.

The cottage was cute and just right for 2. It was clean. Supplies provided, towels and kitchen items, were plentiful and appreciated. Cape San Blas is beautiful. You are on the bay side, there is a walk to get to the ocean side.

Right on the bay!

Our rental was conveniently located literally within minutes of dining, beach, the park, convenience store, and right on the bay. Clean and well stocked, we loved the location. The only downside of that there is no washer and dryer, which we knew when we booked. Very relaxing family oriented, the is a must see beach!
