Family vacation

This property is everything it presents in pictures. The location to the beach is perfect and the outdoor activities at the house (pool, hot tub, games) were a hit with our family. The living room, kitchen and both decks offered gathering spaces that worked well for our group. The kitchen was well stocked and the separate ice maker was a hit! Love this property and would go here again.

Amazing Vacation

We were a family of 9 and there was something to make our vacation special for everyone. The beautiful sunsets off our balcony, the view of the Gulf at our door.The pool and hot tub were fabulous. The incredibly well stocked kitchen. The beautiful decor. This was a vacation we will fondly remember. The host was wonderful and responded to my questions quickly.

Great Location Steps from the Beach

We just spent a week at this wonderful house with our family and truly enjoyed it. It was our first time at Cape San Blas and everyone loved it. It was like having your own private beach. The kids enjoyed both the ocean and the wonderful pool. The kitchen was equipped with everything you would need: 2 coffee makers that could operate either as a single cup or a full pot, air fryer, huge boil pot, plenty of pots and pans and utensils. We did one big shopping trip at the Piggly Wiggly in Port St. Joe but everything else we picked up at The Trading Post which was just minutes away. The kids also made several trips to get treats at the Cape Coffee and Ice Cream shop. We bought some fish and shrimp at St. Joe Shrimp Company which was in that same area on the Cape and had a shrimp boil/fish fry - delicious! We did eat dinner one night out at Cone Heads and everyone enjoyed it. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the amazing sunsets every night right out the back door. They were absolutely amazing. All in all it was a fantastic trip that everyone enjoyed. Also, want to mention that Sophie and Mollie were great when we had any questions.

Perfect Beach Vacation

The Tranquil Turtle was perfect for our family of 8 adults and 6 grandchildren. The house was well- stocked and we loved having the pool and closeness of the beach. The sunsets were amazing, no crowds, plenty of seashells and we counted 8 sea turtle nests!! Mollie was always quick to answer our questions! Thank you for a perfect vacation!!

About the host

Hosted by Sophi Foster

The Tranquil Turtle has been a dream for many years. My husband and I decided to take the plunge and give it a try. The Cape is a bit of "Heaven on Earth" that we love and have always wanted to be able to share with our family, friends & guests. You will find that we try to provide all the extras that we can and are always looking for feedback so that we can make this the vacation home you want to return to year after year!

Why they chose this property

The Tranquil Turtle sits right after the rocks on North Cape San Blas. The sunsets are amazing and once you visit you will understand why the call it The Forgotten Coast. Where else can you drive on the beach (with permit), build a fire, or walk your dog? This beach has miles of beautiful white sand, the shells are awesome and so is the fishing. If you are looking for a busy commercial-type area, this is not the place for you. If you want a laid back, peaceful beach vacation then we hope to make the Turtle your "Home Away from Home."

What makes this property unique

The Turtle has many unique benefits and we will continue to add more.
