About this property
The Salty Bear- Cape San Blas, Community Pool, Family friendly!
Summary:
Pet-Free Cape San Blas Beach House | Paddleboarding, Surf Fishing & Old Florida Escape
The Space:
Important: This property rents for full weeks (Saturday to Saturday) during peak season. Do not book shorter than 7 nights without contacting us first as unapproved short-stay reservations will be canceled.
Discover Salty Bear, a spacious 4BR/3.5BA Cape San Blas vacation rental in the gated Jubilation community on the quiet south end of Cape San Blas, just minutes from the Gulf near Port St. Joe. Designed for guests who value nature, movement, and relaxation, this pet-free beach house offers a clean, peaceful stay along Florida’s unspoiled Forgotten Coast.
This is the Old Florida experience — wide, uncrowded beaches and a slower pace of life. Start your mornings paddle boarding or kayaking in the calm waters of St. Joseph Bay, spend afternoons surf fishing for redfish, pompano, whiting, and more, and enjoy long beach walks known for exceptional shelling — including sand dollars, starfish, and coastal treasures.
Wildlife is part of the experience — guests often spot dolphins, shorebirds, pelicans, and even manatees and sea turtles (seasonal), while the surrounding preserved coastline supports diverse native species unique to the area.
Salty Bear is ideal for active, outdoor-focused travelers, with beach runs, cycling, swimming, and open shoreline space. The strict no-pets policy ensures a clean, quiet environment — perfect for families and guests seeking a dog-free stay.
Family-Friendly Layout + Bunk/Game Room
The main level features an open-concept living area with a comfortable sectional, fully stocked gourmet kitchen, and dining for eight plus bar seating. Step outside to the large screened porch for coffee or evening meals.
The upgraded bunk room is a major highlight for families:
Queen-over-queen bunk + twin-over-twin bunk
Dual TVs (stacked viewing setup) — the lower TV is easily accessible for gaming systems (Nintendo Switch, Xbox, etc.), while the upper TV creates a fun dual-screen viewing experience for movies, shows, or group hangouts
Upstairs includes two king master suites with private balconies and en suite baths, plus a queen guest room with a full hall bath. Gulf views can be enjoyed from the porches, and beach access is just minutes away. The community also features a Gulf-front pool nearby.
Outdoor Convenience + Fishing Setup
A rock path along the side of the home provides easy access to:
Outdoor shower
Fish cleaning / fillet station
Grill area
The garage is well-equipped for anglers with a dedicated ice maker, mini fridge/freezer, and fishing rod rack — perfect for organizing gear and keeping bait, drinks, and your daily catch fresh after a day on the water.
Experience Cape San Blas the way it was meant to be — natural, active, and perfectly set up for families.

Great home! We loved the quiet neighborhood and the long beach walk. The neighborhood pool is great with a beautiful backdrop. Our family prefers the convenience of the south cape to port st joe.
