A Swell Life is a single-family home in Cape San Blas on Florida’s Forgotten Coast. With 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and sleeping for up to 6 guests, it’s sized for a smaller group that wants a home base near the beach. The property is located in The Boardwalk neighborhood on the southern end of the peninsula, a beachfront community with a shared pool and winding boardwalks.

The layout places the main living space on the first floor in an open-plan arrangement. Sliding glass doors and multiple windows bring in natural light, and two of the bedrooms are also on this level. The primary suite is located upstairs, offering separation from the first-floor bedrooms.

Outdoor spaces are set up for time outside before and after beach days. The home has an open front deck furnished with a dining table and umbrella, along with additional outdoor furniture. Under the house you’ll find covered, designated parking, an enclosed outdoor shower, and a fish cleaning area.

Practical amenities include air conditioning and heating, keyless remote check-in/out, internet access, television, towels/linens, and a washer/dryer. The kitchen includes a refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, drip coffee maker, ice maker, and dishes/utensils, plus a crock pot. A grill is also provided. The home is non-smoking and includes safety features such as a smoke detector and fire extinguisher. Pets are allowed, with maximum quantity/type requirements and additional fees.

Living the Swell Life is what we all hope to achieve. 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 leashed dogs. A 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.

A 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?

Swell Life was a perfect location! You are off the main street heading to the other beaches and State Park. You are a short walk to the boardwalk that leads to the ocean as well as the pool. It was a quiet neighborhood. The house had an outside shower so you can wash away the sand before going in the house. The outside sink and hose was great for cleaning off shells as well.

Thank you for your review, Tracy. Glad A Swell Life was a perfect location — close to the boardwalk, pool, and State Park — and that the quiet neighborhood worked well for you. Happy the outside shower, sink, and hose made rinsing off sand and shells easy. We’d love to host you again.

Great location for a laid back vacation. We had plenty of space on the beach, the pool was never overcrowded, and the neighborhood was peaceful. This was the perfect location for the laidback vibes, not a tourist attraction locale. Port St. Joe and Cape San Blas has restaurants and a smaller grocery store but do not expect tons to do after 9pm. It was great!

Great location! I loved that they had a community pool close by. The house needs some minor repairs and upkeep...but nothing too serious. We had a great time!

Our house was in great shape when we arrived. Very comfortable. We had plenty of towels, as we had noted that we were bringing 3 children. We have stayed at this property several times and not any issues.

We had a great time!

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!!
