We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bay Beauty! The house is arranged perfectly with a bathroom accompanying every bedroom. Great open floor plan with surround windows overlooking the bay. We loved the birds and wildlife on the bay. Also, the beautiful beaches nearby. Cape and Coast were excellent hosts.

The house was spectacular, very clean and neat! The private pool was gorgeous and the enclosed area. The view of the bay from the back deck was phenomenal! There’s so much wildlife you can see from the dock and it’s extremely peaceful. The screened in back porch was the perfect place to watch the storm that came through on our last day.
Very appreciative that there were beach toys and an extra cooler in the shed downstairs since we forgot ours!
The beach is a very very short drive away (I highly recommend going through the park service entrance, it’s worth paying the $6). The beach was stunning! The water was so clear (we were able to see some manta rays) and the sand was white and clean. So many seashells for the kiddos to comb through!
Highly recommend!!

Had a wonderful vacation. The bay was super fun for the kids, lot of hermit crabs, sand dollars, and they got to see several stingrays. Beach was awesome but would help if the beach access had a little parking area. Definitely take a trip to the state park.

We had a great experience booking with Cape & Coast. They were prompt in email response, lightning fast in arriving to fix a maintenance issue, and polite throughout. Bay Beauty is an even better rental than the listing conveys. The views are stunning and so peaceful. The house had everything we needed, including a well-stocked, super-organized kitchen. Amazing! Clean bathrooms & beds. Highly recommend!

Great space for family and friends!
Overall this stay met our expectations. The house was neat and clean and allowed our family to spread out between the two floors and outside. The pool is a touch small, but with 2 kids, it worked well. We had one issue - We could not get the Living Room TV to connect to the Internet, so we could only watch cable for the week. The kids bedroom TV never worked at all. We called the management company, who told us they would send a technician, but we never saw them.
.Truthfully, we had so much fun wading into the shallows of the nearby bay, fishing, looking for shells and creatures, and generally exploring the area, that it didn't matter very much. I've never seen so many rays, horseshoe crabs, and baby sharks before!
We have been to Cape San Blas several times, and we've never been so bitten by mosquitos and 'No-see-ems' as much, so travelers need to prepare. Overall it was lots of fun. We definitely recommend this place!

Great home! Wonderful location. This location is not suitable for parking a boat on the property. The outdoor shower didn’t work very well. I would definitely stay there again! The televisions didn’t operate properly. Overall very happy with our choice to stay at Bay Beauty.

Amazing vacation house
The house is amazing. We have stayed there two years in a row because it has such an enjoyable experience. You usually find vacation homes beaten up, but not the case here. It easily accommodates our group of 8, with room to spare. The location is convenient to Port St Joe as well as Cape San Blas proper. The kids were happy to catch small bass off of the dock and swim in the pool all day.

Great place for a multi-family vacation
We loved this property with gorgeous views of the bay. The pool added extra fun on those days we didn't want to drive to the beach. Having rented vacation homes before on the gulf, our multi-family enjoyed this one because of the size, bathrooms, pool, and 2 refrigerators! Great place to stay - will definitely go back!

Perfect getaway
We (two families, four adults and four children total) had a great time in this beautiful and convenient property. The layout of the house allowed us to gather and enjoy food and entertainment, while enjoying privacy when needed. The heated swimming pool, while small, provided hours of fun for children (ages 11-16) during our stay. The boardwalk and very shallow ocean in the back of the house was perfect for a nature wander and observing wildlife. You can rent a kayak from a store down the street to go out further in the ocean. We also enjoyed the seafood market a few miles away, and the Nature Reserve up the street. Overall, it was a perfect getaway.

Great Socially-Distanced Vacation
We loved our stay at Bay Breeze. The beach was just down the street (either a short walk down the neighborhood street or a two minute drive to the public beach access at Salinas Park) and beautiful. Completely empty with no problem to socially distance. The house is extremely well stocked with pots, pans, measuring spoons, dishes,.. and made this a perfect vacation for our family and our friends. The only caveat for families with small children is the indoor staircase- if your little ones aren’t good with stairs yet, I would bring a baby gate along. We just put a chair in front of the stairs, but very adventurous children could probably climb over it. In addition due to the proximity to the bay there are some mosquitos; however, the screened in pool and back porch were prefect for us to still enjoy the outdoors! In general I would completely recommend this place for a great beach vacation!

Perfect Private Getaway
We can't wait to return to Bay Beauty soon! This house is spacious, bright, clean, and perfect for adventure. The layout worked well for our two families (4 adults and 5 children). The open floor plan was great when we were all relaxing together; we didn't feel cramped. There is a large dining room table that fit everyone and the kitchen is large and open. The pool is enclosed under screens which made us feel less like we needed sunscreen at all hours of the day. It's a saltwater pool so our kids could enjoy it a couple times a day without sore eyes or irritated skin. The dock that leads out to the bay is quite long with no side rails, but it didn't pose a problem for us. The bay is a very neat area to explore and we did it at least once every day. At low tide the water is nearly gone and catching hermit crabs was easy and fun. Even at high tide the water only came up to our ankles and we saw horseshoe crabs, fiddler crabs, blue crabs, fish, sandpipers, and whelks. It's astounding how far you can walk out into the bay without the water level going higher than your knees. The walk to the beach is around .3 mile and this particular beach area was largely unoccupied. The waves were great for boogie boarding and there is an abundance of shells! About 3/4 mile down Cape San Blas Road (to the left of this home) there is a new park with playground, pickle ball courts, and a beautiful boardwalk trail for walking/riding. Salinas Park is just nearby for additional beach access.   The property manager and owners were wonderful to work with and provided us everything we needed when a one-week stay turned into a two-week stay due to Covid-19. We are so thankful and can't wait to return!

Great family home with amazing views
I was extremely satisfied with this home and all it had to offer while hosting my family for Thanksgiving. The home is beautiful inside and out and the views were spectacular. The home had ample supplies for cooking a Thanksgiving dinner and the kitchen was made for multiple cooks at preparing at the same time. The home is located in a great area of the cape with easy beach access that was nearly empty the entire trip. As a note: We did have to fasten the trash cans down because Friday after thanksgiving the trash was scattered throughout the yard, come to find out it was a bear we captured on camera Saturday night attempting the same thing. We will be back to enjoy the house again very soon.

Very nice property
My family and I enjoyed our stay and debating not leaving :-) The pool was our favorite area to spend time in and waking up every morning to the view from the master bedroom was great. The kitchen is the kind I dream about having myself, tons of room, well appointed and simply beautiful. We had a very relaxing vacation and really enjoyed the books and movie selections for a quiet time at the home. We look very forward to staying here again. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

Beautiful Home and Stunning View of St. Joseph Bay!
My husband and I both agreed that this was the most beautiful home we have ever stayed in! The home was in pristine condition when we arrived. A huge gourmet kitchen with everything you could need to cook a delicious meal. The kitchen and living area have a fantastic view of the bay while you're eating. The master bedroom was extremely comfortable with a lovely walk in shower. The whole house is represented well in the photos, but is better in person. We really enjoyed the screened in pool also. There was nothing better than watching the millions of stars and the milky way from the comfort of the hot tub. The view off the dock was picture perfect. We brought our kayaks and truly appreciated the steps down to the water, which made it really easy to get in and out of the water. We left them tied up to the dock all week, so we could just jump in and go for an adventure. The water is very shallow so its a perfect spot to find lots of shells and horseshoe crabs. At low tide, we even walked out in the water. Short drive to the most beautiful beaches in the world. We brought our 19 foot bay boat with us and launched it at the St. Joseph Bay state park which has a great boat launch. The most beautiful clear water is in the bay! We saw lots of dolphins, stingrays and a sea turtle! I was hoping to see the Manatees but unfortunately didn't. We also caught a few lady fish and Mackarels. The beach at the state park was not crowded at all and the sand is so beautiful and clean. This was one of our most relaxing vacations ever and we will definitely rent Bay Beauty again the next time we visit.

Relax, enjoy & take part in life
What a wonderful home so well appointed. Need to set on the beach? Beach chairs & items abound. Float in the pool? A chest of floating devices & toys are there. The kitchen is very well equipped. The only thing you need are personal items & a desire to have a good time.

What a Beauty!!!
My family and I spent another glorious week at Cape San Blas. We decided to stay bay side this year so we could do more kayaking and fishing. Bay Beauty was exactly the place to stay! The kitchen is so wonderful! Every amenity you could possibly need for a week of vacation! The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Plenty of room for our family of 12. If we ever stay bayside again this is the house we will use!

Jessica, we're so happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay at Bay Beauty! We also loved discovering the fun the Bay Side has to offer after many years of beach-guided relaxing. Hope to see you again on your next trip to the Cape. Thanks again, Dawn & John

So Relaxing!
absolutely beautiful home! fit all 9 of us perfectly we had 3 adults 2 newly high school graduate girls and 4 teen boys ages 13-15 i figured the boys to be board with us not being on the beach side, oh i was wrong! between the pool and the bay at low tide the boys entertained themselves . believe they stayed up till the wee hours of every morning to walk the bay and discover all the sea life with their flashlights and nets. the girls went shopping at all the boutiques throughout the week. and the beach was perfect! i have to say this was the quietest vacation I've ever had. very surprising considering there were 5 teenagers. cant wait to come back next year!

"A little paradise"
We had a great time staying at this home during the week of July 4th, 2019. The home was very clean and accommodated our family of 12 very well. The kids loved the bay and we caught crabs from the bay and cooked them 3 times. What a treat! I would recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a quiet retreat. The kitchen was stocked very well with cooking utensils that made it easy to prepare our meals. The pool and hot tub were a hit. We were very pleased with our stay.

Great Place for family vacation!
The house was fantastic...there were 6 adults and 4 children. We had a great time. The house was spotless and 3 of the rooms had king sized beds for the adults and fantastic bunk beds for the kids...Beach is close and the pool at the end of the day was a bonus...You won't be disappointed booking this house!

Great, Quiet Stay
House is beautiful and very up to date on the inside. Pool is great and just big enough. Back yard is large compared to other properties. Dryer needed a repair while we were there and owners came right over and fixed. Our stay was really nice.

Truly a peaceful retreat!
We stayed for 7 days and had plenty of room for 9 adults and a baby. The views over the bay are the STAR of this property...the screened in porch looking out onto the view was a favorite relaxing spot for us. We had so much fun having big meals around the big table with game nights around it, afterward. We loved our visit!

Fabulous for a Family
This home was amazing. It had everything we could want in a vacation rental (or home). First of all Bay Beauty is conveniently located on St. Joe Bay so the view of the bay is breathtaking while the beach is a short walk across the street or a drive down the cape. The owners graciously share their kayak as well as access to the pool, hot tub and pier that extends out into the bay. We even wadded out in the bay at high tide to fish and rented a paddle board and bikes a short walk down the road at Happy Ours. Bay Beauty itself is a jewel!! It has an open concept floor plan, is very clean and extremely well organized. There is ample seating for the whole family to gather at the table, in the den or screened in porch. The spacious kitchen has room for 3 or 4 cooks working at a time. We have been going to Port St. Joe and Cape San Blas for about 26 years now and this is definitely the place to stay. We hope to rent this home again next year!!

If only we could stay forever!
We rented Bay Beauty and Breezy Bay to celebrate my father's and mother's 80th birthdays. There were 16 of us aged 6-80 years old and something for everybody to do. We have visited Cape San Blas once before and will definitely return and will only consider houses on the bay. We spent so many hours in the bay kayaking, paddle boarding and wading around looking at all the sea life. It was by far our favorite place to be. When we wanted a tasted of the waves we would drive down to the state Park and access the Gulf beach there. Beautiful blue water with fun waves for boogie boarding and entirely different types of shells than the bay. And bonus, we were virtually the only ones there. As for the house itself gorgeous! The kitchen/dinning area was very nicely decorated and had all the appliances and equipment needed to make our meals. It was also large enough for several of us to come together to prepare the meals and then sit down as an entire family and eat together. We also took advantage of the screened in porch, pool and hot tub frequently rain or shine. We did have a day where it rained all day and thanks to the games, books and puzzles no one ever became bored. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms very clean. We could not have asked for a better place to stay! My family thanks you!

Awesome stay at Cape San Blas!
What a beauty! This house was spacious, comfortable, and furnished to the max! Would loved to have enjoyed the pool, but the weather did not cooperate. Quiet and relaxing with beautiful views, especially the sunsets from the screened porch. And, the caretakers were most helpful and quick to respond. Best food ever in Apalachicola and Port St. Joe. We shall certainly return. Thanks for sharing your home.

Great place
We had a wonderful stay at Bay Beauty! We had 4 adults and 5 kids, and probably could have slept another family. The kitchen is amazing. We enjoyed the pool and the hot tub every day even though it was December. The bay access was great too - you can walk out into it for a good distance since it's so shallow. I bet scallop season is fun! The cabin next door had a plumbing problem so while they worked on it the water had to be shut off, but the owner let us know with plenty of time and was available for every little question we had. So: great property, helpful management, and a beautiful spot. We'll definitely be back!

Beautiful home near the bay!
Great summer vacation home for our family! The house is beautiful with easy access to the bay. Beach was a 10-15 minute walk away. The pool was great to cool off in and the hot tub was great for relaxing. The kitchen was clean and had everything you could need for your vacation. Very pet friendly as well. Thank you for sharing Bay Beauty! We hope to come back some day!

House has everything
This property is very well stocked. It had every appliance and item we needed. The kids room is very nicely set up to sleep up to 7 kids. The only negative was they wanted an extra deposit to use the kayak, but we brought our own so didn't need it. Nice location too...didn't have to drive too far to get into town.

Awesome Experience
This vacation home has everything you will need. So much room for the whole family. Pool was so nice and you had the bay at the back door for kayaking and the beach just down the street. We did it all! Kept the kids (and adults) entertained the whole week! Weather was beautiful.....so much to do. The guys went fishing every day, the kids played in the pool and the whole family enjoyed the kayaking and the beach. The kitchen in this house has everything you can think of and it's so big that it's easy for a few of you to get in and prepare a meal at the same time. Love, love, loved it! We will be back for sure!!!! Nice restaurants near by. Very clean and well maintained.

Wow!!!
This was our first visit to Cape San Blas and we are sure to return next year! This home exceeded our expectations at every level! Talk about all the bells and whistles...this home was not only stunningly beautiful but there was every amenity from the wine fridge to the outdoor shower. There was so much room to move about and relax. We had a large multi-family group but the home never felt crowded! This is a must return rental! We were very pleased!!!

Beautiful home, stunning views, great for extended family/multi-family vacations!
Bay Beauty is a beautiful home with views of the bay that are second to none. We especially loved the updated kitchen. The screened in pool was perfect for the kids, and we enjoyed kayaking and walking in the bay on several days throughout the week. Beach access is not far in either direction and parking was never a problem at the parks, we chose Cape Palms Park for our visits. This home is at a great place on the Cape, as it provides easy and quick access to nearby restaurants on the Cape and otherwise, and grocery shopping in Port Saint Joe. The description of the home is accurate in all aspects, the property is well taken care of, and we would recommend this property to others.

We enjoyed staying at this lovely vacation home. The kids enjoyed the swimming pool, the pier and of course the ocean. We hope to return next year. The owners were very nice and my service dog loved the bucket of doggie stuff left by the door.
