Nothing gets you closer to achieving that level of happiness than a beach vacation with family and friends. Cape San Blas is an ideal destination for sand, sun, and fun. On the southern end of the peninsula is a beachfront neighborhood, The Boardwalk. A quiet neighborhood featuring a beachfront community pool with winding boardwalks and lots of deck space. The beach located just beyond the pool is a wide beach with plenty of space to spread out, and an area for the kids to play. It is also a pet-friendly beach and welcomes to leashed dogs. Swell Life is a pet-friendly property as well, so no need to leave the family pet at home. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath single-family home is a comfortable spot to call home base. Located just a short walk from the beach, you also have views of St. Joseph bay in the opposite direction. There is a great open deck on the front of the house with a dining table and umbrella. Under the house, there is covered parking with a fish cleaning area and an enclosed outdoor shower. Once inside the property, the living area is an open space on the first floor with sliding glass doors and windows allowing natural sunlight to pour in. There are also two bedrooms on the first floor with a master suite on the top floor. Swell Life is not only tucked in between the gulf and the bay but is also located very close to Salinas Park Bayside where adventure awaits. Gorgeous boardwalk trails are winding along the water’s edge of St. Joseph Bay. The children will enjoy the excitement of the playground and so much fun for the rest of your group too with pickleball courts, a sand volleyball court, a fire pit, restrooms & showers, and a kayak launch at the end of the boardwalk. With the loggerhead bike trail stretching the length of the peninsula, you can easily jump on just beyond The Boardwalk neighborhood and ride your bikes to the park or the Scallop Republic, a local pub with craft beers and live music. How about that for a Swell Life? \*\*Pet friendly, max quantity and type required; additional fees apply\*\* \*We LOVE Snowbirds!

We had a perfect Spring Break vacation! The house was great, beds were comfy, nice new towels and a great porch! Everything was clean and the layout was great! We loved the outdoor shower too!! Easy walk to the beautiful beach and pool! We can’t wait to come back, we had never been to the area and we fell in love with it! Great restaurants nearby and wonderful shops in Port St. Joe! We brought our pup and we loved that there was a gate on the deck to keep them safe. We rented bikes, beach chairs and a wagon. We rode our bikes to play pickle ball everyday and to check out the nature boardwalk, which is gorgeous! You won’t regret renting this vacation home!! ##### David R.

We had to find HVAC to come out. After midnight dealing with A/C. Rotted stairs/decking. One guest almost fell through stairs. Still no call back. UNACCEPTABLE! Have requested a refund for Friday night and no reply from anyone. ##### Robin D K. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tristan S. 23 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### not as we expected the property is in a good location close to beach and pool. we had some issues when we arrived, the railing on the deck part of it was completely off and the rest of the railing is unsafe as it moves alot. the couch is not relaxing and needs replaced. We never used the outside deck since we didnt want our little ones going thru the railing. We stayed for a week and were told at our arrival they only supply 1 toilet paper per bathroom and 1 roll of paper towels and only one garbage bag, as you can imagine 5 people for a week will use that up so we had to make a trip to buy all of those. We never stayed at a vrbo that didnt provide enough for our stay. We had an issue as a storm came thru and messed the internet to the tv up, repair guy came and got us channels but wasnt how it was set up before. The beds were nice and area was as well. The house is up for sale so maybe why upkeep and maintanance problems if owners dont want to put money in house they are selling. ##### Tristan S.
