Perfect Stay on the Cape!

We absolutely loved our stay at Cape Cottage! The house is stunning and cozy at the same time. It was stocked with everything we needed and more. It has such an easy access to the beach, and it is located on a great area of the beach on the Cape. The pool right next to the house was also great for our little ones. This was our third year staying in CSB and our third house…this one was by far our favorite and we want to book again for next year!

Fantastic house and location!!

We had a great extended family get away in this beautiful home. Three generations o under one roof and we couldn’t have asked for a better spot. This home is right on the beach and has lots of spots for everyone to be together or spread out...whatever you need!

Great Christmas vacation

Great house for a family vacation. Hands down this was the most equipped vacation property that we have ever rented. The beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed and the extra refrigerator and beach stuff really helped. The elevator was a tremendous help. We will definitely look to rent this property again.

Great location!

The house was beautiful, well stocked, positioned with perfect views all around, despite not being beach front. Best access to beach boardwalk was so close and the beach area was not crowded at all. And a pool right next to the house. Also loved all the decks. It doesn’t get any better than this. Will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Spring Break

This was our 3rd trip to the Cape, and by far our favorite property/location. Our teens and pre-teen were very happy all week long - such an easy walk to the beach or over to the Cape Trading Post for ice cream and/or doughnuts or to St. Joe's Shrimp Company. The house had everything we needed and I loved the layout. We will look to stay here again when the time comes.

Amazing Home

My husband and I took our three adult children and their spouses and our first granddaughter for a week at the beach. The house was perfect. It had enough room for all of us, easy access to the beach, a room full of beach equipment and more and more. We can not say enough good about it. We would definitely stay here again.

It is very clean, well furnished and well stocked. So close to the beautiful beach, the pool is awesome and there are so many fun things to do or not if you want peace and quiet.

Fabulous Vacation Home

This property was perfect for our family. We had 2 toddlers with us and the property owners even had gates for the stairs as well as a pack-n-play. Many beach toys were available, two refrigerators and beach chairs. A perfect location for easy access to the beach. This is 10+ property!

Cape Cottage on Cape San Blas

We had an amazing vacation at this beautiful home! From the well stocked kitchen to the huge table in the dining room, to the beautifully decorated living room with furniture that looked new (not the typical tired furniture found in VRBO rentals) and comfortable beds in beautiful bedrooms, all were perfect. We enjoyed all the decks, it was nice to have a screened in deck as well. The elevator was appreciated for move in and move out days! Of course the short walk on the boardwalk to the beautiful beach was a big plus! We loved it all!

A Very Short Week!!

Last night we sat around reviewing our experience at Cape San Blas. It was a week of challenges as our granddaughter is handicapped and this was their first family vacation in 5 years. We wanted a quieter location and the house and location was perfect. The closeness to the beach and pool was ideal. 5 stars for certain!!!

Cozy on the Cape

We had a great time at Cape Cottage. Although it is not directly on the beach, it was just steps from the shoreline. Plenty of room for our family to spread out and have some privacy but the gathering room was large enough for all to be together. The kitchen was stocked with more than two of everything which was a bonus. Mary Margaret was super helpful with all our questions. We will be back, in fact we wish we didn't have to leave!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Margaret Whitfield

Host profile image
We are Lee and Mary Margaret Whitfield and we live on Lookout Mountain. We have two grown sons, one sweet daughter in law and three precious granddaughters.
We ‘discovered’ the Cape in 2011 and immediately fell in love. This was the Florida we had been looking for: the forgotten, relaxed Florida. The area is full of families (including ‘fur’ babies) and natural beauty that will take your breath away.

Why they chose this property

We loved the quiet beaches: no high-rises and the family-owned places to eat, shop, and play.
The house is located on the North end of the Cape within easy walking distance to the Trading Post (a local general store with a little of everything in the way of groceries and supplies), Shoobies Ice Cream and Weber’s donuts (home-made daily).
We hope you enjoy the Cape and your stay at Cape Cottage.

What makes this property unique

Cape Cottage is centrally located making it easy to get around.
