About this property

Cape San Blas - Gulf and Bay

2-Kings, 4-Single Bunks.

"Salty Scallop" located on the Cape of Cape San Blas in the secluded Cape Dunes (HOA with private deeded Gulf beach boardwalk just a 2-5 minute walk to beach with no roads to cross).

Beach house is one of the closet on Cape San Blas to Port St. Joe and Apalachicola restaurants and services a perfect base camp for exploring Old Florida's 'Unforgettable Coast'. Nature enthusiasts will rejoice at the proximity to the Loggerhead Walking/Biking Trail that extends the 8 mile length of the peninsula. A two minute walk to nearby Salinas Park features: nature walk (bald eagles), pickleball courts and the Scallop Republic (Tues.-Sat. after 5:00 p.m.) for the only craft beer/wine bar on the Cape featuring live music indoors and dramatic bay views. Drive 3 miles east to the famous Indian Pass Raw Bar for local oysters or 10 miles into downtown Port St. Joe to visit local shops and eateries.
One of the few properties on the Cape that has peak-a-boo views of St. Joe Bay from the front deck and the Gulf of Mexico from the back deck.
There is enough room for a comfortable stay for four adults accompanied by up to four children. (Sorry, absolutely NO Pets or Indoor Smoking). Kitchen is complete with new appliances: fridge, electric stove, microwave, coffee maker, Keurig, 4-slice toaster, cooking essentials and other luxuries of home plus a Full washer and dryer.
Cook outside on the large industrial charcoal grill. Central AC with ceiling fans in all bedrooms if you enjoy a slight breeze. Open the master window and be serenaded by the sound of waves at night. Bedrooms feature new mattresses and bedding. Up to 1 Gig Wi-Fi internet with ethernet accessibility. Living room has 65" Smart TV with Sling, Netflix, Disney+, Pluto, ROKU so you can enjoy a movie. Master and Guest bedrooms are equipped with televisions for local Panama City Beach, FL and Dothan, AL broadcast channels. But, who wants to watch television when there's so much to do outdoors?
Bring your fishing gear and grab a saltwater license because the onshore fishing can be great fun. Or, bring your bathing suits and take the kids swimming in the Gulf (watch for dolphins or manatees).
Drive to the end of the Cape San Blas peninsula and visit T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park ($6 entry fee). There you can experience what The Travel Channel and 'Dr. Beach' has named America's #1-Ranked beach and Top State Park!

Great get away

Beautiful inside, great beach decor, and very inviting. Comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen. Outside needs a little love. Having to use bottled water was doable since only there for a day and half. Beach was great even if a walk.

Sweet little home walking distance from the beach!

We had a wonderful stay at the Salty Scallop! We had a few issues at check in with the cleaning crew working late but the owner was so quick to solve our problems and comped us cleaning fees. This house was the perfect size for our family and the kids enjoyed lots of cousin time playing board games, visiting the beach, watching movies and making memories! We had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook and we were in the perfect location. It was the perfect place! We will be back!

Cute house

Loved the location and the house. AC was amazing and beds were perfect. Everything was as it was quoted on the listing. My only downfall to this listing include: trash still left in trash cans when we arrived, almost all the knobs on the appliances were broken (washer/dyer, sink, stove etc). Would recommend this listing.

Perfect house

This house is set up very well. The two king bedrooms are on opposite ends of the home with adjoining bathrooms, with a children's bedroom in the middle. The beds were comfortable, and kitchen and bathrooms were very well stocked. The only negative thing isn't the owner's fault but walking to the beach was hard because the homes between the beach and house was flooded and it was very hard to walk to. The beach was perfect once you got there. We will stay here again in a heartbeat!!!

Great Stay

We had an awesome stay at the Salty Scallop! Robert was great to work with and had some great recommendations for food and fishing. The unit was incredibly clean and close to everything. If you are a pack mule and taking everything with you to the beach, you have about a 5-6 minute walk to the beach. If you are just going for a stroll and aren’t carting chairs, umbrellas, etc. it’s probably 2-3 minute walk. Close to the state park, Indian Pass, Port St. Joe and Mexico Beach. Close to the bay and beach. Beds were extremely comfortable, and the kids loved the bunk beds. We had a blast and hope to be back soon! Thank you for allowing us to stay!!!

The house was perfect for our needs and we had a good vacation. Well-stocked kitchen, all instructions were clear and detailed, and covered everything we needed to know. Finding the boardwalk was a little tricky the first day; perhaps the host could add a little diagram of how to get to it.

Quick beach trip

We were looking for a quick beach trip without all the craziness of busier areas like orange beach or Panama City beach. The Port St. Joe/Cape San Blas area did not disappoint! The condo is located 10-15 minutes from Port St. Joe. It was clean, the beds were comfortable and the owner responded quickly when I texted asking a question. We enjoyed our stay. The walk to the beach is more on the 5-10 minute side but there were a lot of people fishing so we loaded up and drove to another beach. There are plenty of public access areas within 10-15 minutes of driving, so we drove to the public park past Cape San Blas, paid 6 to enter, and had quick access to a nice beach with public restrooms and a little store/bait shop nearby. Unlike other areas we’ve been to, you aren’t chair to chair on the beach. There are plenty of places to eat in Port St. Joe. We tried peppers, Joe mamas wood fired kitchen, KrazyFish and the brick wall. I would recommend any of them. If you are looking for a convenient, clean place to stay - then book it!
