About this property

North Cape San Blas bayfront home with dock access

  • Welcome to Bay Watchin'!

    Secluded Bay Front home on North Cape San Blas with spectacular views of St. Joe Bay from the primary bedroom and living room/kitchen areas. The interior was recently completely renovated featuring all new kitchen appliances, cabinets, granite countertops, tiled bathrooms (showers and floors), bathroom vanities and new modern fixtures throughout.

    Wake up and enjoy your coffee or breakfast on the large 2nd story deck overlooking the sunrise on St. Joe Bay. Enjoy the convenience of docking your bay style boat (water averages 2-3 feet at the end of the dock) at the end of our 200 yard shared (with only 2 other homes) dock just feet from the channel. If you have a larger boat, there is room to park at the house each night.

    Looking for pool access? Newly renovated Rish Park is only a 1.5 mile drive, walk, or bike ride away. See photos for Rish Park amenities that include a huge pool, nice restrooms/showers, and beach access to one of the best sections of beach on all of Cape San Blas.

    The Cape San Blas bike path runs right past Bay Watchin's driveway making it even easier to bike or walk to some of the Capes best spots - Trading Post, Weber's Doughnuts, Ice cream shop, Peachy's (lunch only), Skully's and St Joe Shrimp Co.

    Bay Watchin' is truly one of the best values in all of Cape San Blas.

    Additional amenities include washer/dryer in home, Starlink internet, 65" smart TV in living room so you can log into your favorite TV apps.

    Bedroom 1 - Primary Bedroom - King bed with large walk in closet. Sliding glass door leads onto the back deck with amazing views of St. Joe Bay. Smart TV.

    Bedroom 2 - Queen bed with en suite private bathroom and a large closet. Smart TV.

    Bedroom 3 - Small kids bunk room with closet

    Please note there is a studio apartment located under Bay Watchin’. The use of this apartment is NOT included with the rental of Bay Watchin’. This apartment will occasionally be occupied by family members or friends only and is not rented out.

    No pets allowed at this property.

    With all this I saved the best for last. You can still have bonfires (can you say oyster roasts?!?) on the beach and even ride horses with the local stables. This is definitely old Florida with beautiful sand and water as well as complete relaxation. You are going to LOVE IT!

    If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Thanks for looking.

Cape San blas trip

Took a boat. Fished and snorkeled. Always found plenty of places to eat. Loved the lack of traffic. Port st Joe is a nice clean town. Saw two bears. Nice park at the north end of the Cape.

Great Bayside Getaway

This was a perfect cozy home for our family of 6. The dock leading to the bay was beautiful. It and the back deck are a great place to enjoy the scenery and wildlife. House is tucked away from the road so it feels secluded, but is just a quick drive (1-2 minute drive) down the road and across the street to the trading post store for access to food, snow cone, or necessities for vacation.

A great week in CSB!

We always love our visits to the Cape and this was our second stay at this property. It is clean, spacious, comfortable, and well equipped. Bay access is non-negotiable for us when we visit CSB, and the dock at this property is sturdy and convenient. Communication with the owner was excellent. We’ll be back!

Great stay on the Bay

We had a great time relaxing by the bay. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make family meals. Bay view is beautiful. If bringing a boat, it's shallow, even at high tide, but plenty of space to park and turn around if you launch daily from boat ramp. Third room is adequate for kids, but would be a challenge for adults. We really enjoyed our stay and would book this rental again. Excellent experience overall.

Perfect Beach Vacation

The house is amazing! When I walked in I felt like I was walking into a Pottery Barn catalog!! The house exactly as pictured, which is not always the case. Only issues we had was we could not get the lights to turn on under the house where we parked. We contacted Kyle and while he wasn't able to help us figure it out, he was responsive. Second thing, which is not Kyle's fault, is when closing the main sliding door--watch your fingers! My husband has big hands and kept crushing his fingers in the door. I also want to point out that there is an apartment below where the owners/friends of family can stay. I was worried about this at first but loved the look and location of the house so much that I'd thought might as well give it a try. I'm so glad we did! About half way through our trip someone did occupy the apartment down below, but we never saw them and it really was no big deal. I actually only saw the person once when taking the trash out, so whatever you do--don't let this discourage you from renting the house. This house really is in the perfect location. If you love to fish, like my son, you really can fish all day long either beach side or bayside. The dock was awesome and super convenient. We really do hope to stay here again soon!

We had a wonderful two week stay at Bay Watchin! The house was very clean and comfortable and the view was amazing! The owner was very helpful and quick to respond to our needs. We launched our boat at the very beautiful state park because it was too shallow at the dock during low tide. Would definitely stay here again with our dog!

Summer Breeze was so wonderful and the perfect accommodations for our family of 5! Kids loved the bunk beds and side yard to play in. Dock access was amazing for sunrises and relaxing on the hammock bed.Unit was very clean and well stocked kitchen for cooking. Spectacular views of the bay from the porch and home.We’ve been visiting Cape San Blas for years and have never stayed on the bay, but it was such a nice change! Amazing sunrises over the water. Public parking for beach access was just down the road. Good central location.

Loved this bayside house!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this bayside retreat! It was the perfect size for my parents, my husband, and me. The house was well appointed, clean, and comfortable. We appreciated the dock as my brother who lives in PSJ could pick my dad up from there for fishing in the morning. We appreciate the owner sharing his home with us, and we look forward to returning!

Great house on the bay

Location was great- on the bay but we were able to walk across the street and cut thru to the beach. House was perfect for 4 of us plus the dog. Nice side yard to play football and frisbee. Enjoyed the kayaks that we used off the dock in the backyard. Owner was quick to respond to questions. Would definitely stay here again!
