About this property

Moonshadow Beach House on the Gulf is one of the most pristine options for enjoying the Gulf

With direct beach access, this dog-friendly location will be a favorite!

Are you dreaming of recapturing the beach vacation of your youth? Remember the simple pleasures of walking barefoot on a wide, crystal-white sand shoreline and floating carefree in the warm tranquil gulf water, or reclining in your lounger while listening to the seagulls and watching the dolphins glide by just off-shore? After toasting an amazing crimson sunset, the gathered wood is coaxed into a welcoming roaring bonfire that invites you to roast marshmallows, chill, and prepare your expectations for another great day.

If you are dreaming of again enjoying those endless lazy days relaxing on an expansive, uncrowded, pristine sugar-white sand beach, then you are dreaming of a Moonshadow vacation!

Moonshadow Beach House is a freshly remodeled, three-bedroom, three-bathroom jewel-box of a gulf-front vacation house, with all the amenities you expect and deserve to fulfill your beach getaway dream.

The kitchen is all new with high-end stainless appliances, solid surface counters, and cherry cabinets. All three bedrooms have brand new luxurious king-sized beds and flat screen Smart TVs with blu-ray DVD players. En Suite bathrooms (one with walk in shower and the other with a shower/tub combo) complement two master bedrooms, and the third bedroom shares a hall guest bath that features a walk in shower.

The spacious family room features beautiful waterfront vistas as well as a 60" Smart TV when you are in the mood to watch movies or play games.

Outside on our deck, a gas BBQ is ready to grill your meal to perfection while you lounge in the nearby hammock.

There is carport parking under the house as well as generous space to store your watercraft. There is a large storage room containing chairs, floaties and other toys to ensure that you fully enjoy the beach, as well as a cart to carry your possessions to the welcoming white sands.

Upon your return, there is a convenient, private outdoor shower to rinse off before you go inside. If you still want to catch some rays, there is a large 8' x 30' deck off the family room and a screened porch ideal for vegging out.

The Moonshadow Beach House is ready to welcome you back to the beach, and help you realize your dream vacation!

Located in a small, quiet neighborhood, there is no access to the ground level of the house. Otherwise, the whole house is yours.

36th Anniversary Vacation

Chris was great and communicated quickly whenever we had a question. Great location and only a small walk to the beach from a private boardwalk. Cape San Blas never disappoints. Highly recommend staying at this beach house. Spacious and kitchen is equipped with whatever you need.

Perfect Winter Beach Weekend

We spent four nights at Moonshadow and it was simply perfect. The house itself is exactly what you want from a beach house - cozy with a great porch (with a view of the ocean) and screened in porch. The kitchen is well equipped and the living area is so comfortable. The real star of this property is the semi private boardwalk out to the beach. You could not ask for better access. In addition to the property itself, the owners and local managers are beyond kind and responsive. We brought our 11 year old rescue dog down to the beach for the first time and they went out of their way to make it special for all of us. We have stayed at many VRBOs in the past, but none with hospitality like Moonshadow. I cannot recommend this house enough!

Bea

I highly recommend staying in this house, it is very clean and located in a very quiet community. The interior and appliances are all up to date.The kitchen was well stocked with needed pots, pans, dishes, etc. The beds were very comfortable. I also loved sitting on the deck and peeking through the pine trees at the ocean view in the distance. It is just a short walk on the boardwalk to the beach. I plan to stay in this house again in the future. I loved the fact that our fur babies could join us and could actually go out on the beach. The owner, Chris, was very friendly and easy to work with. He was always punctual with replying to emails, etc. The beach in this area was so beautiful and not crowded at all. The water is not a crystal clear blue like other beaches but that was not an issue at all. I was told by one of the locals it is because nearby river flows into the ocean causing the water to look darker. This house is also a short beach front drive by golf cart or car to this beautiful reserve (not sure of the name of it) with amazing wildlife. I also loved the nearby quaint town of Port Saint Joe. They have lots of shops, some good restaurants and even a lighthouse to tour.

Great Getaway

The property is fantastic, check in was easy, the beach access is superb. Large space inside and out. Beach toys, cart and chair access was an amazing plus. Some reported provided items were missing, but communication with owner was easy and he resolved the problem immediately.
