Beachfront Home · Boardwalk to Beach · Sleeps 20
Bring the whole family together without sacrificing comfort or privacy. Sparrow’s Nest is a 3,400-square-foot beachfront home on the quiet south end of Cape San Blas, purpose-built for multiple and multigenerational families.
With four private king suites, a custom bunk room sleeping 10, 5.5 bathrooms and gathering space for everyone, the home comfortably accommodates up to 20 guests. Walk directly to the Gulf using your on-property boardwalk, cool off in the private pool, or enjoy panoramic water views from three levels of covered decks.

MAIN LEVEL
The open-concept main level brings everyone together with expansive Gulf views and plenty of comfortable seating. Gather for a movie on the 71-inch smart TV, enjoy family meals around the dining table, or start the morning with coffee at the extra-long kitchen island.
The fully equipped kitchen includes a spacious refrigerator, double ovens, cookware, dinnerware and the essentials needed to prepare meals for a large group. A separate ice machine makes it easy to keep your beach coolers filled.
A private king suite is located just behind the kitchen, offering convenient access to the main living areas and its own en suite bathroom.

Both king suites feature private bathrooms and access to a shared Gulf-view screened deck. The bunk room is designed for children and teens, with four queen beds, two twin beds, individual reading lights, built-in storage and its own full bathroom with a bathtub.
The laundry room includes a full-size front-loading washer and dryer, making it easy to refresh beach towels and clothing throughout your stay.
THIRD-LEVEL NEST SUITE
The private third-floor king suite—known as “The Nest”—offers panoramic views of the dunes, beach and Gulf. It includes an en suite bathroom, comfortable sitting area, personal coffee station and direct access to a private covered balcony.
PRIVATE POOL AND BEACH ACCESS
Cool off after a day on the beach in your private 12' x 26' pool. The pool is five feet at its deepest point and surrounded by a safety fence.
Optional pool heat is available for $50 per night and must be purchased for the entire reservation. The heater generally raises the water temperature approximately 10–15 degrees above the outdoor air temperature. Pool heat is most effective during the spring and fall and may not be effective during unusually cold winter weather.
An on-property boardwalk leads directly from the home to the Gulf, with no roads to cross and no need to load the car for a beach day. Beach chairs, beach towels and an outdoor shower are provided.
EXPLORE CAPE SAN BLAS
Sparrow’s Nest is located on the quieter south end of Cape San Blas, less than 1.5 miles from the pickleball courts at Salinas Park.
Explore the 11-mile Loggerhead Bike Trail, kayak along the coastline, go fishing, look for dolphins or catch your own scallops when in season. Local restaurants, shops, charter services and the waterfront community of Port St. Joe are within easy driving distance.
Cape San Blas offers a peaceful, uncrowded setting. The Cape Trading Post is approximately six minutes away, while larger grocery stores are available in Port St. Joe.

We had a great stay at the Sparrows Nest! The home is so spacious and comfortable to fit our family of 6 adults and 4 kids... and it could have slept many more easily! Dan was a very responsive host and very kind. Having the pool and beach access was great and there were plenty of beach towels and chairs for our crew. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was very neat and tidy. We loved our visit!
Wonderful time at Sparrow's Nest for our 3 generation group of 17 plus our dog. Great Gulf views, especially love the top deck and love the dog friendly beach. The huge great room was perfect for us. Super comfy beds. The host was very responsive. The nights were cold, in the low 40's, while we were there, so it would have been nice to have a solar blanket for the chilly pool. We would definitely stay at Sparrow's Nest again.
The house was above expectations, in a quiet area, great views and spot on the beach. The kitchen was fairly well equipped for cooking, which is always a must with a large group. We will be coming back here next year!!
Great place with lots of room! Pool was awesome for the kids and we enjoyed the stay. Great communication with the host and we were able to kick back and relax. 5
We loved everything about this house…the beachfront, heated pool, beautiful views, amenities and proximity to all of our favorite places on the Cape and in town. FYI there are several flights of stairs and the walk to the beach is a good hike, but we enjoyed the extra calories burned!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! We look forward to returning.
The house was beautiful and perfect for our family's Spring Break trip. I loved that it had a screened-in porch off the main living area and the open floor plan was great! The Sunrise was breathtaking and the beach was wonderful and quiet. The house had a great layout and plenty of room for our family. There were plenty of beach chairs and towels. Dan was super helpful and quick to respond. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.
The house was absolutely beautiful. The views were especially breathtaking from all of the balconies. It was wonderful having a pool and easy access to the beach. If you like to fish, we were able to catch multiple fish from the beach. The restaurants on Port St. Joe were wonderful and close to the house. We recommend the house which works very well for multiple families. We will certainly be back again.
Thank you!

Beautiful and spacious beach house. Far more than what our family of five needed but was definitely a great time. Short walk to the beach. The pool was great for the kids. Communication was upfront and straightforward. Will definitely be back!
We loved this home. We brought our daughter and nieces for a girls trip and they had an absolute blast! The home is extremely clean and well furnished. The beach is a quick walk from the house and very private and clean. Dan was great with communication and quick to provide any assistance we needed. We can’t wait to come back!

Very nice layout. We had 15 total family members and had plenty of room and everyone was comfortable.
Our large family (7 adults and 8 children) really enjoyed our stay at Sparrow’s Nest. The access to the boardwalk and beach is great. We loved having a pool on property. The house was very well stocked and there were plenty of beach chairs and towels. Dan was super helpful and quick to respond. We would definitely stay here again!
We had such a great experience at the Sparrow’s Nest in Cape San Blas! The house was perfect for our large family of 16—clean, spacious, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need, including an extra beach wagon which came in very handy. Beach access was super convenient—a quick 3–5 minute walk with a designated path made it easy even with little ones in tow.The layout worked well for a multigenerational group, and we appreciated the open gathering spaces as well as the privacy of multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. As with most homes in the area, there are several sets of stairs due to the elevation above the water line—just something to keep in mind if mobility is a concern.Overall, we would absolutely recommend this home to other families or groups looking for a comfortable, well-equipped, and beautifully located beach retreat!
