CAPE SAN BLAS AREA INFO:

One of the nicest things about Cape San Blas is that it is secluded. Even during the busy season, you will have your own spot on the beach rather than the rows and rows of umbrellas and chairs at other beaches. However, fewer people also means that there are fewer restaurants and attractions—the attraction is the beach and the ability to get away from it all. There are some local stores and small restaurants on the Cape, and Port St. Joe is only 20 minutes away and has a greater selection of restaurants and a larger grocery store.

Some area activities to consider:
-Relax on the beach - the sound of those waves is amazing!
-Swim and play in the ocean
-Dolphin watching (seen often from our deck!)
-Kayak, in gulf or bay (available from rental companies)
-Paddle board (available from rental companies)
-Private heated swimming pool
-Fishing
-Beach bonfire (and s’mores of course)
-Star gazing - you’ve probably never seen so many stars if you live in the city!
-T.H. Stone State Park: Miles of uninhabited beach, hiking/biking/fishing/bird watching
-Rent a pontoon boat in the Bay for fishing, snorkeling, dolphin watching, or boat to the northern tip of Cape San Blas
-Snorkeling in the Bay: look for sea turtles, puffer fish, manta rays, sea urchins, conch shells, sand dollars, horseshoe crabs
-Horseback riding on the beach
-Take a walk along the shore
-Sea shelling
-Frisbee, kites
-Bocce ball, beach volleyball, badminton
-Sandcastles
-Yard games
-Salinas Park Trail
-Pickleball at Salinas Park
-Bird watching (including Bald Eagles)
-Enjoy the gorgeous sunrise and sunset views
-Sit on the covered decks and enjoy the ocean view and breeze
-Crab watching at night
-8 mile Logger Head Walk/Run/Bike Path. This trail runs from the beginning of Cape San Blas Road to the State Park at the end of the Peninsula. Located just across Cape San Blas Rd, steps from our house.
-Enjoy meals, movies, card and board games, and making memories with family and friends

THINGS TO KNOW:
Pillows, sheets, blankets, and towels are provided.

We have Smart TVs throughout the home, including each bedroom (BYO passwords for streaming apps).

Soaps, toilet paper and trash liners are provided to cover your first night of stay. Extra supplies beyond this are the responsibility of the guest.

The WiFi is fast (download speeds up to 600 Mbps) but Cape is a remote area and WiFi could be intermittent at times. Some cell phone carriers may have patchy coverage here. Also due to the remote location of the Cape, water pressure can be lower at times. However, we have a water pressure booster pump, which is a major advantage over homes without this amenity.

Please note, at high tide the waves may come up to the dune.

Check-in. No early check-ins. You will receive a personal access door code on the day of your arrival, which will be valid for your rental dates.

Checkout. No late checkouts. Our cleaner needs time to prepare the home for the next guest! If the guest does not vacate the property by 10AM ET on their scheduled day of departure, the fee for failing to vacate is $50 for the first half hour and $100 for each subsequent half hour.

NO SMOKING OR VAPING. You will incur an additional charge if any evidence of smoking is found in the house.

NO PETS. If you bring a pet, you will be charged $500 and will be required to vacate the property immediately with no refund.

NO LARGE PARTIES. Max of 12 guests on the property at all times.

All guests must be 25 years of age or older unless they are accompanied by their parents for the duration of the stay.

For security, the home is equipped with outdoor video surveillance.

The cancellation policy, as described by VRBO, is in effect upon booking and does not allow refunds or changes to the reservation due to weather. However, if there is an official mandatory evacuation ordered for Cape San Blas, we will refund the reservation for any affected nights. We recommend that all guests purchase travel insurance which offers coverage for cancellation due to illness, weather, or other events that could impact your trip. Travel insurance can be purchased online for reasonable cost, or may be offered by your credit card company.

All guests are required to sign a Rental Agreement.
