About this property

Beach and Bay access!. Close to State Park! Boat friendly.

Whether you love sunning and swimming at the beach or fishing and boating on the bay you'll find the best of both worlds in Cape San Blas. The beach has been voted number one beach in America numerous times and St. Joseph's Bay is know to be one of the top fishing destinations as well. Our house, Sundance Cottage, happens to be right in the middle of both.

Nestled in the sand dunes of Cape San Blas, it is about 250 yards to the deeded accesses of both the beach and the bay. Sunbathers will enjoy the outdoor shower and bathroom after a day on the beach and fishermen will find the fish cleaning station a handy addition after a successful day of fishing. With ample parking underneath the house there is plenty of room to bring your boat or waverunners which can be launched at St. Joseph's State Park, just 2/10 of a mile from the house.

With three bedrooms and three baths (one is outside but the shower and toilet are enclosed), the house will comfortably sleep six people. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, cable TV, private bath, and French doors which lead onto the back deck that overlooks the dunes.. The other two bedrooms each have queen-size beds and share the full bath conveniently located in the hall. One of the queen bedrooms has cable TV as well.

Everyone will enjoy watching the 55” TV in the large, comfortable sofas and . Bring you laptop and get online with our broadband, wireless, high speed internet connection.

Since Cape San Blas is not known for restaurants and night life we keep the kitchen well stocked with plenty of cookware and utensils and the pantry stocked with spices and staples so you'll be able to cook your fresh catch of the day on the large stainless steel grill on the deck. There is also plenty of deck furniture for outdoor dining as well.

So if you're looking for a place that's somewhat off the beaten path you have found it here. Uncrowded beaches, endless shelling, fantastic fishing, or just boating around the bay are just a few of the things to do. Rent a bike and ride for miles, rent a kayak and ride the waves, or just enjoy the beautiful, serene enviornment with your friends and family. Cape San Blas is not just the 'forgotten coast'...it is also an undiscovered Paradise.

Great 2 weeks at CSB
This was our third time to stay at Mark and Karen’s house. It’s so convenient to both the beach and bay. The kitchen as fully stocked, grills were in great shape, love the front and back decks! We hope to rent from them again.

Great Choice by State Park
Stayed for 7 days at the beginning of beginning of September. We wanted to try a place that had plenty of room for a boat and was close to a boat ramp. This property fit the bill. The weather (rain and wind) was not good for most of the stay so we visited Apalachicola, East Point, Carrabelle, Panama City and St. Georges Island, as well as numerous jaunts to PSJ. Communication with the owner was very good with updates provided regarding hurricane Idalia impacts. We did make it out on the water a couple days using both the state park and PSJ boat ramps. Caught a couple large Speckled Trout and enjoyed snorkeling for scallops. The house was clean and functional, no complaints, just the expected wear and tear on a vacation rental. The owners are anticipating a renovation in the near future. I'm still searching for that perfect rental with a boat dock for a reasonable price so I can avoid the boat ramp hassle. Barring finding that, this rental will be on top of our list to consider for next year.

Cool Air and Quiet Neighborhood
If you are looking for cold air, hot water, and clean surroundings with pretty much every kitchen utensil and spice you could want, this is your spot. Three big bedrooms, two large baths and ice cold air which given the outside temps in Florida this past week — was an extra blessing. The neighborhood is quiet and easy to access. The beach access required driving and parking but it wasn’t hard to get there or back. The beach was pretty empty which was a GIFT. The outside shower and under home parking is perfect. Cape San Blas and the state park are beautiful.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Jones

Host profile image
My husband and I share ownership of this home with his brother and wife. We are from northeast Alabama. We enjoy boating, fishing and enjoying the beach and surrounding area. We love sharing our home with guest looking for some peace and quiet, beautiful beaches and the best sunsets year round in the Florida panhandle.

Why they chose this property

We first visited the area over 20 years ago and absolutely fell in love with it. We've always vacationed in the panhandle...mostly Destin and it reminds us of what Destin used to be like when we were kids. We like the laid back atmosphere, uncrowded beaches, excellent fishing and peace and quiet.

What makes this property unique

Our home is only 2/10 of a mile from the entrance to St. Joseph's Peninsula State Park so if you bring a boat you are very close to the boat launch there. Additionally we have an excellent deeded beach access with only private homes there so the beach is never crowded. Our deeded bay access is great for fishing the grass flats for speckled trout and redfish as well as launching a kayak or canoe. Our neighborhood, Peninsula Estates, is very peaceful and quiet so most times you can still hear the surf from our outside decks.
