Sip cocoa as the sun rises over the deck, reel in a merry catch from the pier, then cook up a festive feast in the fully stocked kitchen. Stroll the private boardwalk to the Gulf's pristine beaches or paddle the bay with kayak and canoe rentals nearby. *Pack the pup and make memories shore to last!

*Please note pets at the time of booking. Pets are welcome once declared and pet fees have been paid.

Great dog-friendly place and can't beat the location - right across the street from the beach! Fairly well stocked. Had some furnace issues with a few cold nights at the end, but I'm sure its been fixed by now. Good communication with management!

Cute Hidden Gem

After years of visiting San Blas with other families, staying in big houses, this year I visited solo and am so glad I found Scallop Cove - never even knew these cute cottages were back there! This was perfect for just me and would have been fine for a family of 3 or 4 (and dog) too. Location was great, it's nice and quiet back there and the view out the back porch and patio is lovely. Easy walk to the beach across the street and nice to be able to pop in to the shop for a sandwich or snack. Easy check in and out, wish I could have stayed longer!

Perfect View & Cozy House

View is absolutely beautiful for sunrises! Run across the street to the private Scallop Cove beach access and see to die for sunsets! Fishing is great off the dock, perfect for kayaking to see stingrays, sharks, or snorkel when tide is lower to see starfish & crabs. House has everything you need and super comfy beds! We will be back in the future! ❤️

Peaceful Spring Break

My husband and I took our kiddos for Spring Break. We brought 2 of our own kayaks and then rented one from the Scallop Cove for a very decent price. The dock on property is an easy walk and has steps to easily put in and take out the kayaks. The beach access is super close and an easy walk to a very quiet beach. The house is small, so I understand the 5 person limit, but it was perfect for our family. The kitchen has everything you could need, but there is not a dishwasher, so make sure you bring a scrubby brush and towels to dry dishes.
