About this property

Unobstructed Gulf Views with Private Pool and hot tub close to Trading Post!

Beautiful 5 bed 5 bath private home, 3 king master suites, unobstructed views

MAKING WAVES is a beautiful and comfortable home with four master bedrooms including three Kings and a Queen, a private pool, hot tub, and awesome, unobstructed beach views with no homes in front of it. Cape San Blas is known for its clear, clean, aquamarine water, sugar-like sand, tall dunes, stunning views, and secluded location. Today it is getting harder and harder to find a quiet place to soothe away stress. Well, this is the place!

A great beach house professionally redecorated in the Spring 2019. The home has two open sun decks, and covered top floor deck all with beach and Gulf views while overlooking the pool. The house is located in a private setting just steps to the beautiful pet-friendly beaches of Cape San Blas.

The ground level has plenty of space to lounge around or enjoy the in-ground pool located beach-side, surrounded by a large, fenced yard. This is definitely the chillin’ and grillin’ zone. Just add a drink, shaken or stirred, and you have the makings of great days and nights. There is a large outdoor private shower. Just off the pool deck and detached from the remainder of the house is the Queen bedroom with mini frig. The en suite bathroom has a walk-in shower and vanity.

The main level starts with our fully equipped kitchen where you will find everything needed by cooks at any level. Some fresh shrimp, oysters or fish is all you need to create the perfect beach dinner. Don’t forget steaks on the outdoor propane grill. You will also find the spacious living area with plenty of room to hang out, play games, or just relax and watch a good movie. It has a large flat screen TV with cable and free WiFi. This level is completed with a bunk room and beach view king master with en suite bathroom with a custom tile shower and double vanities. There is also a flat screen TV and blue ray DVD player. This master opens to the sun deck.

The top level has the second beach-view king master with flat screen TV opening to the sun deck, also with an attached full bath. Across the way is a third beach-view king master with another flat screen TV, its own private full bath and access to the deck with its spectacular views.

This home has WiFi because we understand that you may have to stay in touch.

Conveniently located close to the bike path that you can travel miles up the beach. Convenient to St Joe Shrimp Co. for fresh shrimp and a wide variety of other Gulf seafood. Across the street is the Trading Post for morning donuts, afternoon ice cream cones or any of your other needs.

Pets are not allowed and pool heat can be requested for additional fees. No events over the occupancy of the house are permitted and there is a minimum age limit for renters.

Why Come Here?

Of course, that starts with the location. Walk directly to the ocean. Steps away from one of the most beautiful, wide sugar white sand beaches on the planet, this kid and pet friendly beach is simply amazing. Many days you will see dolphins playing off shore with pelicans, sandpipers, and sea gulls sharing the neighborhood. Giant loggerhead turtles annually select the cape for nesting. One of the highlights of this beach is its seclusion and privacy.

There are lots of ways to catch the views. Enjoy your morning coffee or late afternoon beverage watching from one of the decks, complete with screened-in porch facing the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and sparkling emerald water.

We love the sunsets. At twilight this is the perfect spot to marvel at the sun dropping silently in the gulf. Although, if you listen hard you would swear the sun’s going under makes a sound like the last plink of a skipping rock. Following sunset, an amazing display of the Milky Way and stargazing awaits. This is truly paradise found and a dream come true! Make MAKING WAVES your home on the beach!!!

Local Information

The State Park on the north end of the Cape has 10 miles of sugar white sand. This park is one of the top rated beaches in the United States, rated #1 by Dr. Beach in 2002. Sunbathing, shelling, snorkeling, swimming, bicycling and fishing are popular activities. A boat ramp which accommodates most trailered vessels is located at Eagle Harbor. Some of the highest dunes in the nation are found here as well as some of the last remaining habitat of coastal sand pine scrub. St Joseph Peninsula State Park has an abundance of wildlife and provides excellent opportunities for bird watching and wildlife viewing. The park is extremely popular during scallop season (July thru Labor Day).

The fishing is superb, either in the surf out front or minutes away in St. Joe Bay, where Tarpon make their yearly appearance in July and August. Cobia, Pompano, Redfish and Speckled Trout help make the Cape a fisherman’s paradise. Other activities include diving for scallops in late summer, crabbing, and beach combing. The surf is normally low, making for excellent swimming and kayaking.

Fabulous and relaxing!!!
The BEST VRBO we have been at. Beautiful home with many more like home amenities then others we have stayed at. The pool and hot tub were warm, clean, and extremely enjoyable. Amazing views and super easy walk to the beach. The town was fabulous as well. Loved that the Trading Post was just up the road and had everything we needed. The food was great and super fast. We ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner there once each. We loved our stay and would stay again!! Thank you!!

Great Beach House!
Our crew had a great trip! House was in a great location...close walk to the beach on a private access road...close walk to the Trading Post, Ice Cream stand and Webers Donuts. Would recommend this place to any family looking for a great location on a great beach! We are ready to rebook for next Spring Break.

Lovely home!
We absolutely loved this beach home! The house was clean, in wonderful condition, had everything we needed and was in a great location! The walk to the beach was even shorter than it looks. Have the Trading Post market one block behind us was SO convenient. The kids’ favorite part of the whole trip was the heated pool! We would definitely love to stay again!

Family vacay
First time to stay in CSB and we loved every second of it. The house was so great! Loved everything about it. Beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked, decor was great. Loved the balcony looking out to the water. Sunsets were gorgeous. Payed to have the pool heated and the temp was perfect with the cooler temps, though we spent most our time at the beach! The owner was great to work with. We walked to get ice cream, seafood, donuts and shop at the trading post which are a very short distance to the road. A perfect location. Only downside for someone older was the steep drop off up and down the sand to the beach. Overall it was a wonderful trip and would recommend this house and location to anyone considering it.
