Relax with the whole family at this peaceful retreat far away from the hustle & bustle of everyday l


Description

Life slows down at the Cape. It's a magical place known only to a handful of people. The sand is silky soft & the water is shades of blue or green. (But, the occasional storm can turn the water murky.) The sunsets over the ocean are breathtaking, as are the sunrises over the bay. Cape San Blas is far enough away from big cities that you are able to see millions & millions of stars at night. 

The space
The Salty Mermaid is 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom townhouse in a quiet, gated community on the north end of Cape San Blas. It is a quick stroll to the sugar sands and blue-green waters of the Gulf. Each of the 4 bedrooms has its own private bath, there is an elevator that services all floors, a fully stocked closet with all the beach gear you might need, as well as stunning beach and sunset views! Take the community boardwalk directly down to the beach or take a dip in the community pool. Nearby, the entire family can enjoy the St. Joseph Peninsula State Park with adventures on the Gulf, the Bay, or utilize the boat launch at Eagle Harbor in just a few minutes drive.

The 4th floor beachside bedroom has a king bed with an ensuite bathroom. The bathroom has a jetted tub/shower combo. This bedroom has a private balcony with views of the pool, beach, and ocean. There are two Adirondack chairs and a day bed/couch for you to relax on out on the balcony.

There is a tall storage cabinet next to the washer and dryer loaded with towels and blankets for your pup if you need it. We ask that if you use these, that you wash, dry, fold, and put them away before your departure. There is also a large closet under the stairs loaded with all sorts of beach gear and chairs you are welcome to use. Please rinse off the sand and salt water before putting them away.

Guest access

Additional notes
Rental fees are non-refundable unless there is a mandatory hurricane evacuation. Travel insurance is widely available and relatively inexpensive. We highly advise purchasing travel insurance.

You are welcome to use the elevator, but please be VERY patient. It is slow and has specific instructions that must be followed for it to work properly. Couple of tips... make sure the inner and outer doors on all levels are closed or it will not work at all, when opening the outer door from inside the elevator, a little trick is to pull the door towards you and the push it open. Children under the age of 12 MUST NOT be allowed to ride alone or play with the elevator. It is a safety issue. You are responsible for ensuring the elevator is properly operated and not abused. It is very expensive to have the elevator repaired and serviced.

We now have fiber Internet in our community.  Water and electricity have been known to go out periodically on the Cape.  The infrastructure is still being worked on and improved in the area.  We apologize in advance if it goes out while you are staying here but it is truly beyond our control.  We do not offer refunds for any water or electrical issues.
