About this property

BEST DEAL ON THE CAPE. 200 STEPS TO THE BEACH, NOT A 6 MIN DRIVE. PETS OK.

"Banyan Beach Cottage" - Enjoy beautiful sunsets over the gulf from the spacious wrap around decks on both levels of this beautiful home on Cape San Blas.

This spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bath home features gorgeous cathedral post and beam ceilings in living/dining room and master suite. Lovely flagstone fireplace and hardwood floors in living room. Large flat screen, smart TV with Bose surround sound system over the fireplace. Sliding doors in living room open onto covered deck with plenty of seating. There is a queen sofa sleeper in the living room. Leather sectional includes two recliners.

Kitchen, baths, hallway and laundry area have new tile floors. Kitchen is generously stocked. Both main level bedrooms have queen-size beds along with twin roll-aways. Beautiful master suite on upper level has king-size bed, with double sinks and closets in the newly remodeled master bath. All bedrooms are equipped with new smart TVs with remotes and have sliding glass doors which open onto the deck. There is also a ceramic-tiled laundry area on the second floor.

VRBO incorrectly states our property is a 6 mile drive to the beach (see pictures). We are just steps to the beach at the end of our private road. This home has plenty of parking for a small boat or jet ski and is a short distance to the state park’s public boat launch. Banyan Beach is professionally landscaped and has an outdoor hot and cold shower and gas grill. Conveniently located two blocks to grocery/sundry stores (including a seafood company) on the Cape but only 20 minutes from more shopping in Port St. Joe or 30 minutes from Appalachicola's restaurants and shops.
