About this property

Scallop Cove #5 - The Blue Tortuga - Bayfront Cottage on Cape San Blas

Bayside Cottage on Cape San Blas with Bay and Gulf Access.

Overlooking the St. Joseph Bay on serene Cape San Blas. Wake up to spectacular sunrises and stroll the beach for stunning sunsets. Enjoy a quiet, romantic dinner on your screened porch or open deck, serving freshly caught fish or scallops. Kayak or canoe the waters of the Bay, hike in the State Park, walk the beach, or just relax and read a book - Cape San Blas has it all. This cottage is one of 6. If you have a large party, let us know and we can check other rentals for you. There is a pier outside your door and parking for 2 cars or a car and a boat trailer (20 ft. or less) at the cottage. The public boat ramp is a short distance away. There is boardwalk access to the beach for relaxing in the sun or watching the porpoises as they play in the surf. The fishing is great in the area. This a pet-friendly property. Pet fee is $75 for first pet, $50 for second.

Beds: 1 queen, 1 double/twin bunk

Situated on the Gulf of Mexico and St. Joseph Bay, surrounded by miles of protected habitat, white sandy beaches (voted the best beach in the US in 2002 by Dr. Beach), and emerald green waters, Cape San Blas looks like a curled finger of land jutting into the water and provides the protective barrier that keeps our surf so quiet and gentle. There are several parks and historic sites. It's not unusual to spot deer, fox, soaring eagles, osprey, sea turtles, or even a family of black bears. St. Joseph State Park is a 2500 acre wildlife refuge offering ten miles of uninhabited beach and bay shores and a boat ramp.

Maximum occupancy is 5 people, this is a strict limitation. Names and ages of all occupants shall be recorded on the rental agreement.

Pets are allowed with a non-refundable pet fee of $75 for the first pet and $50 for the second pet. All pets must be declared on the rental agreement.

Rental rates are based on two people. Additional people are $3 per day per person.

The cleaning fee is $175 and there is a 12% sales and lodging tax on all rents and fees.

There is a $200 refundable security deposit which will be refunded within 14 days after check-out, provided there is no damage, or unauthorized people or pets.

The pier is not permitted for mooring. You can anchor just off of it. The water is shallow and protected by Pig Island.

Cancellation Policy:

If cancelled greater than 30 days from check-in, all payments will be refunded less $150 per booked week plus tax. Reservation payments will NOT be refunded on cancellations made less than forty five (45) days in advance of the reservation unless the unit is re-rented for the same rental payment and time period originally reserved.

Spring break trip
Great view and an easy walk to the beach. I wish the beds were more comfortable but overall for the price this was a good deal.

Great Location!
We had a wonderful stay! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our own meals so after stopping at the Piggly Wiggly on the way in we didn’t leave the Cape until we checked out. Scallop Cove is literal steps away with a small selection of grocery items and even some beach gear so anything we decided we needed we just purchased there. We rented kayaks and bikes from San Flea rentals which we used almost daily. The sunrise from the back screened porch and deck was breathtakingly beautiful. And an easy walk across the street puts you on the beach. As for the home, it was just what we needed. A nice cozy place for the 2 of us. The outdoor shower was great for getting the sand off too! We enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Great getaway in beautiful town
The home was perfect for myself, my husband, and two little boys. We had a great time watching the wildlife from the dock and back porch. The beach is a short walk from the cottage. My only suggestion was to update the pictures online as the home exceeded the expectation. Very clean, nicely updated, and comfortable. We are already planning our next stay!
