Hot Tub,direct beach walkover-NEW SPECIALS! Are you ready for something spectacularly different at the cape? Pull down the long private drive and the Jewel of the Cape stands ready to greet you! When you pull up, you may believe you are stepping into a private residence on Bourbon Street, but go up the steps and you will quickly realize you are gulf front on the fantastic beach on the north end of Cape San Blas! It truly is the best of both worlds and nothing compares to this experience! 2,500 square feet of continuous porches/decks completely surround the entire both living levels of the home and there are eight separate full size sliders, each with side windows leading onto the decks. There is a private gated dune walkover connected to the lower living level deck. Both the upper and lower level decks are fully furnished with poly-wood seating areas, a swing, and chaise lounges. There is also a hot/cold outdoor shower and dog wash area on the lower deck, just beyond the dune walkover gate. There is one security camera used at the property in the parking level carport area entrance because the entrance to the property there is isolated and not visible to any other property. That camera is plugged in inside the kitchen of the home, but there are no cameras inside the home. Stepping into the living level of the home, you will be greeted by historic New Orleans style decor and a brick floor, with a welcoming sitting area, complete with a 48" TV. Just beyond is the open kitchen with extra large island with 4 counter stools and a gas range. On the other side of the island is antique cabinetry below and open shelving above, and at the far end of the kitchen is a dining table and chairs. Through the sliding door in the kitchen, there is a huge dining area on the exterior porch. Also, on this level are two bedrooms. First, gulf front king master and private bath with a separate jacuzzi tub, tiled shower and double sinks. Second, a large east facing bedroom with a double over double bunk bed with twin size trundle underneath , with a bedroom door to the hall bath. This full bath also opens to the living area and contains a tiled shower, as well as a full sized washer and dryer. Leaving the living area, going up the open stairway in the living room, you will see the ornate cornices and a wrought iron gate leading to the upper level. When you reach the top, you will see another complete living area which is open to the pool table area. Each area has it's own TV. There are two more bedrooms on this level. First is the gulf front king master and master bath with the same footprint as the master downstairs. Second, is another king master with access to the shared hall bath. This bath has a tiled shower and another full sized washer and dryer. The exterior deck on this level has a bar area, a full size hot tub and the most spectacular view! Rest on the poly wood chaise lounges, or sit in the hot tub and watch the dolphins go by! From the 2nd floor, you will also see the wrought iron spiral stairs leading to the crow's nest room. As you can imagine, the views only get better the higher you go, so pick any window up here and enjoy!!! The crow's nest room is for ADULTS ONLY, because spiral stairs leading to the crow's nest room are NOT FOR KIDS. Please do not allow children access to or to play on the spiral stairs!!! Jewel of the Cape is literally around the corner from the entrance to St Joseph’s Peninsula State Park, which has been voted #1 beach in the US. Jewel is not a new, standard, run of the mill beach house. This is "old world Florida" at it's best! With it's natural surroundings, huge dunes and the historical significance of this home, you and your family/friends will never forget your stay at Jewel of the Cape! ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Billiards/pool table - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 2,916 square feet ## Similar properties ![6 bedrooms, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78520000/78511000/78510932/c9dc92a0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fall Availability!

This property was a rare treat. It is built from a lot of repurposed materials with a New Orleans feel. We loved it! It has great access to the beach, plenty of deck space with high-quality furniture. With it tucked down a long driveway it is an extremely private space. It has great access to the beach and the emerald water and white sand beach makes it an amazing place to stay. Would definitely come back again! ##### Todd H.

Great place for families. We were a group of 12 and were comfortable. The architecture and style was unique and stood out from the other houses. Loved that it was pet friendly. Lots of outdoor hydrants to rinse sand off. Unfortunately the crows nest needed repair so we were unable to use it since someone broke the door out but the property manager was quick to respond and offer repair. The beach access was fantastic. Beware there is No elevator and lots of stairs but we felt they were manageable just a struggle with coolers etc. One microwave did not work but we used the other. If I were suggest one thing it would be to install stairs from the main level deck up to the second level deck. We love the Cape! ##### Nathan H. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alice H. Apr 10, 2019 #### Beautiful views! The most beautiful views from multiple gigantic decks! We spent most of our time on the upper deck staring at the ocean or laying in the hammock. Having the beach just steps away was awesome as well. We stayed this spring break with one other family. The house is absolutely gigantic and there is plenty of room. The house has some new owners that are making some updates. I’m sure when they get finished, it will be absolutely gorgeous. It is a really neat eclectic home- owned by former art gallery owners, so there are some pretty cool touches... like doors that are decoration that don’t open or go anywhere. the kids thought the house was really cool the best hide and seek hiding spots you’ve ever seen for sure !! Perfect for two families to stay, the huge private beach area in front of the house was priceless. ##### Alice H. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sherry W., Atlanta, Ga May 5, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house….BUT This is a great house, but it really needs an elevator.. unloading and loading is a bear of an effort with all the stairs. The upholstered furniture …especially on the main floor has seen better days. Lots of pots and pans, but most have been abused and are not in good shape. Small amenities that I am used to were not provided. No hair dryers, no bath soap, and only 1 towel set per person.. Again…great house , but just understand there are some drawbacks to renting. ##### Sherry W. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Heidi a. Jan 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Great house but not sufficient beach access On our way to the jewel of the cape I was notified of Beach restoration by our rental. I was assured we would have access to the beach. The house is simply amazing when we got up to the deck we heard the tractors then went to go on the beach mounds of sand about 6 ft tall right on our walkway, my elderly mom couldn’t climb that hill, very disappointed when letting the property manager know she did apologize but brushed it off. When a major restoration is taken place they let the property owners know in advance. The house should not have been rented out during this time seeing it stated “private beach access “. Very disappointed seeing we drove all the way from Orlando and my family in Alabama met us and couldn’t even get up the 6ft sand mound toward the beach. It was a mountain climbing trip instead of relaxation!!!! ##### Heidi a. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert G. Jun 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Perfect location/house. Sorely missing some necessary items Property is unique with cool furnishings/design. Wrap around porch & decks/boardwalks are awesome. However, inside stairs (especially metal spiral staircase) is unsafe for children. There was one wooden gate available which didn’t fit anywhere. We were constantly on edge watching the toddlers. The beach was nice & private & much wider than other areas. Upon preparing for professional family photos on the beach, we could not find a single blow dryer! Luckily we had brought an iron as we asked before arrival. We didn’t think we had to worry about a hairdryer! Also, how does a rental of this price range not have an ice machine in the refrigerator?? Very inconvenient to drive to the Trading Post multiple times for ice. Also, water from tap is very warm and again, no cold water dispenser from fridge! The water osmosis filtration unit which was boasted about on framed information in the house did not work! Another disappointment…. The oven is not working properly. One day it took us 3 hours to try to get hot enough temps for a cobbler…another morning, 2 hours to get a pan of biscuits done: Very frustrating! The top burners do not seem to have a low flame & many food items scorched due to high heat… All in all we had a nice stay but it would have been much easier if the above referenced items had been present.

Very unique place with lots to do. Enjoyed the hot tub and pool table a lot. Plenty of room to explore and enjoy the ambience. The top floor was a very peaceful room with awesome view where we enjoyed playing games. Loved it was pet friendly. Outside furniture was very well constructed and comfortable. Plenty of tables and nice chairs right at the end of the boardwalk for a comfortable view of the gulf. Could have been cleaner on arrival. Dusty house ,dirty counters annd island table not cleaned as well as pots and pans.The only negative. Overall loved the place. And would stay again. ##### len s.

Needs some TLC but the bones are rock solid. Internal lighting can be frustrating but it works once you decipher the instructions. Hot tub never worked. ##### Anthony P.
