Welcome to Sandcastle!

Where your life will never be the same after the time spent in our Gulf Front beach house.

Take less than a 20-step short walk on our private boardwalk to the prestigious Cape San Blas sugar sand beach to soak up the sun, swim, hunt shells, or take a stroll.

Take a 4-minute walk to the Cape Trading Post to get your donuts, coffee, and ice cream, or to the St. Joe Shrimp Co. at the Cape to get your daily fresh seafood.

Enjoy the spectacular ocean, beach, and sunset views from the two Gulf-front Master Suites that have private baths.

This very spacious, open floor plan with a 10ft ceiling beach house has everything needed for a relaxing family vacation. We, the owners (Holly & Gordon), have a goal to offer our guests the feeling of being at home while at the beach. This goal is accomplished by offering a clean, spacious design of a great room, upgraded decor, amenities, a fully stocked kitchen, and covered parking!

Enjoy the enlarged open deck, or screened porch for just relaxing, having morning coffee, reading a book, or watching dolphins and the world's most beautiful sunsets (See Listing Photos).

Your children will enjoy their private room with a TV.

NOTE! Due to safety and insurance liability, the top deck of the house is not open.

Beautiful Home, Beautiful Location

We loved our stay in this beautiful home. The location was awesome (right on the beach, walkable to several little places for food, conveniences, etc). Loved having the screened in porch + the lower deck which we utilized a lot depending on the weather/time of day.

Great property!

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. We love the house, it is the perfect size for my family of six (but it can accommodate more people). It was clean and nicely decorated with everything you need. We also love that is is right on the beach and within walking distance of the store, the donuts and Peachy’s restaurant.

3 weeks of Heaven

We arrived three days after Helene. There was no visible damage to Port St. Joe and only minor erosion on the beach, which quickly recovered after a couple of high tides. The house is clean and well appointed. All appliances work. Lots of towels, wash cloths, and cookware. Visitors have perfect unobstructed views of sunsets. Dozens of dolphin. I would easily rebook this house.

Babs and family

Our family had a wonderful week staying at Sandcastle. The home was comfortable and well equipped. We especially loved eating meals on the screened porch. The beach is beautiful, and just a few steps away on the pretty little boardwalk. We would love to come back next year.

Bucket list fire on the beach

The house was exactly as described. Very clean and everything we needed. Directly on the beach. We would certainly recommend this house and location for families. The kids made friends and played on the beach while we enjoyed the fire. We roasted marshmallows and the sunsets were gorgeous.

Amazing stay

Steps to the beach, walking distance to the trading post and shrimp company. Couldn't ask for more. House was clean and well equipped. Mom/kids had plenty of naps on the pull out bed in the living room. Ate takeout lunch from the shrimp company on the beach. It felt like home which means a lot. We will be back!

Always Perfect

The house is clean. The kitchen had all the necessities. It is convenient to the fish market and convenience store. We enjoyed the screened porch and the open deck. Beach access was a little difficult due to the sand dune but we made it work. Love this place. We will be back. 2nd time renters.

Family vacation

This house did not look like a rental, and we've stayed at many. The pictures did it justice; the house was very clean (we were impressed), well maintained and nicely decorated to look like a real home instead of a vacation rental. Holly was very prompt with communication and made booking the house a pleasure. We loved Triple Tails restaurant and snorkeling in the bay. Beautiful beach + wonderful house = fabulous vacation! Would highly recommend this property. Thank you, Holly and family, for providing a great place to vacation!

Lovely view

We got to experience the tropical depression side of Hurricane Sally, so the weather was not ideal. But the beach is gorgeous! The view is perfect! The house was great for sheltering thru the storm. Plenty of room for six of us. Kitchen is well stocked. Games and puzzles and books available for the long days inside.

Best Vacation Ever!!

We stayed in Sandcastle for birthday and anniversary celebrations!! WOW!! This house is amazing! Beautifully decorated and comfortable. The kitchen is so open and well equipped!! The beach was so beautiful with a little short path from the house. If you are planning a vacation on the Cape, this rental is a must! We will definitely be renting again and again. The pictures DO NOT do this house justice!!

Great Location and House!

This is a great property. Superb views and great open space concept. The house itself is well stocked with dishes, linens, towels, and beach goodies. The beach itself is 20 feet away from the soft sand Cape San Blas beach. Walking distance to the Trading post for groceries, alcohol, donuts, and ice cream. The only cons I have are the beds are uncomfortable and probably due to be replaced and I wish there was a propane grill instead of charcoal. But those are minor and I will definitely book again.

Home Away From Home

Sandcastle was everything we hoped for and much more. It is very well maintained, very well stocked, and very clean. The beds are really comfortable. The screened porch was a huge bonus! Access to the beach was a little challenging but we worked around that. Obviously that is something that can’t be helped. Did not hinder our beach experience at all. The homeowners are great to work with. If you’re looking for your home away from home, look no further. Highly recommend Sandcastle!

A small slice of heaven!!

Staying at this vacation home was a small slice of heaven. . When you hear that a home is just steps to the beach, this home literally was. The beach was your backyardI. I have never been so close to the ocean. The spacious screened in porch was one of my favorite features. The sunsets each night and sleeping to the sound of the ocean waves was heavenly. The home was immaculate and had everything you can ever need. Very warm and cozy. This vacation home was perfect with having children since you can watch them play on the beach while sitting on the back porch. We especially enjoyed the bonfires on the beach at night since we have never been to a beach before that allowed bonfires. If you need anything, the Trading Post general store is right within walking distance to the house. If you are looking for a peaceful and one of the most relaxing vacations you will ever have, this is the house for you!!!

Fantastic Beach Vacation!!

Wow! This house is so close to the water, it's amazing! Perfect location! We (2 couples) vacationed here in late October and had absolutely beautiful weather all week long. One couple took the King Suite downstairs, and the other couple took the Queen Suite upstairs. We each had privacy and our own bathroom. The third bathroom on the main floor was great, so the couple using the upstairs suite didn't have to go upstairs every time they needed to use the washroom. Enjoyed many walks on the beach, had a fire on the beach one night (crossed that off the bucket list!) and made s'mores. The screened porch is perfect for morning coffee/tea and watching the gorgeous sunsets every evening - which were directly in front of us! We walked one day to the little shop close by to get an ice cream, and bought donuts from Weber's little donut shop one morning - delicious. Note: get there early before the line forms. When they sell out, they close. We did not use the grill, or any of the chairs/umbrellas that were available for guests (we brought our own), but noticed that they had quite a bit in the downstairs closet. Great place! Would definitely recommend.
