About this property

Gulf Front 4/4 sleeps up to 16 -private and updated. Hot Tub. Dog Friendly

Are you ready for something spectacularly different at the cape? Pull down the private drive and the Jewel of the Cape stands ready to greet you! When you pull up, you may believe you are stepping into a private residence on Bourbon Street, but go up the steps and you will quickly realize you are gulf front on the fantastic beach on the north end of Cape San Blas! It truly is the best of both worlds and nothing compares to this experience! 2,500 square feet of continuous porches/decks completely surround the entire both living levels of the home and there are eight separate full size sliders, each with side windows leading onto the decks. There is a private gated dune walkover connected to the lower level deck. Both the upper and lower level decks are fully furnished with poly-wood seating areas, a swing, and chaise lounges. There is also a hot/cold outdoor shower and dog wash area on the lower deck, just beyond the dune walkover gate.

Stepping into the living level of the home, you will be greeted by historic New Orleans style decor and a brick floor, with a welcoming sitting area, complete with a 48" TV. Just beyond is the open kitchen with extra large island with 4 counter stools and a gas range. On the other side of the island is antique cabinetry below and open shelving above, and at the far end of the kitchen is a dining table and chairs. Through the sliding door in the kitchen, there is a huge dining area on the exterior porch. Also, on this level are two bedrooms. First, gulf front king master, with a sauna, and private bath with a separate jacuzzi tub, tiled shower and double sinks. Second, a large east facing bedroom with a queen sized bunk bed, with a bedroom door to the hall bath. This full bath also opens to the living area and contains a tiled shower, as well as a full sized washer and dryer.

Leaving the living area, going up the open stairway in the living room, you will see the ornate cornices and a wrought iron gate leading to the upper level. When you reach the top, you will see another complete living area which is open to the pool table area. Each area has it's own TV. There are two more bedrooms on this level. First is the gulf front king master and master bath with the same footprint as the master downstairs. Second, is another king master with access to the shared hall bath. This bath has a tiled shower and another full sized washer and dryer. The exterior deck on this level has a bar area, a full size hot tub and the most spectacular view! Rest on the poly wood chaise lounges, or sit in the hot tub and watch the dolphins go by! From the 2nd floor, you will also see the wrought iron spiral stairs leading to the crows nest room. As you can imagine, the views only get better the higher you go, so pick any window up here and enjoy!!!

Jewel of the Cape is literally around the corner from the entrance to St Joseph’s Peninsula State Park, which has been voted #1 beach in the US. You and your family/friends will never forget your stay at Jewel of the Cape!

A trip down to the delta.
Very unique place with lots to do. Enjoyed the hot tub and pool table a lot. Plenty of room to explore and enjoy the ambience. The top floor was a very peaceful room with awesome view where we enjoyed playing games. Loved it was pet friendly. Outside furniture was very well constructed and comfortable. Plenty of tables and nice chairs right at the end of the boardwalk for a comfortable view of the gulf. Could have been cleaner on arrival. Dusty house ,dirty counters annd island table not cleaned as well as pots and pans.The only negative. Overall loved the place. And would stay again.
