Welcome to Sandcastle!

Where your life will never be the same after the time spent in our Gulf Front beach house.

Take less than a 20-step short walk on our private boardwalk to the prestigious Cape San Blas sugar sand beach to soak up the sun, swim, hunt shells, or take a stroll.

Take a 4-minute walk to the Cape Trading Post to get your donuts, coffee, and ice cream, or to the St. Joe Shrimp Co. at the Cape to get your daily fresh seafood.

Enjoy the spectacular ocean, beach, and sunset views from the two Gulf-front Master Suites that have private baths.

This very spacious, open floor plan with a 10ft ceiling beach house has everything needed for a relaxing family vacation. We, the owners (Holly & Gordon), have a goal to offer our guests the feeling of being at home while at the beach. This goal is accomplished by offering a clean, spacious design of a great room, upgraded decor, amenities, a fully stocked kitchen, and covered parking!

Enjoy the enlarged open deck, or screened porch for just relaxing, having morning coffee, reading a book, or watching dolphins and the world's most beautiful sunsets (See Listing Photos).

Your children will enjoy their private room with a TV.

NOTE! Due to safety and insurance liability, the top deck of the house is not open.

3 weeks of Heaven

We arrived three days after Helene. There was no visible damage to Port St. Joe and only minor erosion on the beach, which quickly recovered after a couple of high tides. The house is clean and well appointed. All appliances work. Lots of towels, wash cloths, and cookware. Visitors have perfect unobstructed views of sunsets. Dozens of dolphin. I would easily rebook this house.

Great property!

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. We love the house, it is the perfect size for my family of six (but it can accommodate more people). It was clean and nicely decorated with everything you need. We also love that is is right on the beach and within walking distance of the store, the donuts and Peachy’s restaurant.

Beautiful Home, Beautiful Location

We loved our stay in this beautiful home. The location was awesome (right on the beach, walkable to several little places for food, conveniences, etc). Loved having the screened in porch + the lower deck which we utilized a lot depending on the weather/time of day.

Fantastic Beach Vacation!!

Wow! This house is so close to the water, it's amazing! Perfect location! We (2 couples) vacationed here in late October and had absolutely beautiful weather all week long. One couple took the King Suite downstairs, and the other couple took the Queen Suite upstairs. We each had privacy and our own bathroom. The third bathroom on the main floor was great, so the couple using the upstairs suite didn't have to go upstairs every time they needed to use the washroom. Enjoyed many walks on the beach, had a fire on the beach one night (crossed that off the bucket list!) and made s'mores. The screened porch is perfect for morning coffee/tea and watching the gorgeous sunsets every evening - which were directly in front of us! We walked one day to the little shop close by to get an ice cream, and bought donuts from Weber's little donut shop one morning - delicious. Note: get there early before the line forms. When they sell out, they close. We did not use the grill, or any of the chairs/umbrellas that were available for guests (we brought our own), but noticed that they had quite a bit in the downstairs closet. Great place! Would definitely recommend.

Home Away From Home

Sandcastle was everything we hoped for and much more. It is very well maintained, very well stocked, and very clean. The beds are really comfortable. The screened porch was a huge bonus! Access to the beach was a little challenging but we worked around that. Obviously that is something that can’t be helped. Did not hinder our beach experience at all. The homeowners are great to work with. If you’re looking for your home away from home, look no further. Highly recommend Sandcastle!

Always Perfect

The house is clean. The kitchen had all the necessities. It is convenient to the fish market and convenience store. We enjoyed the screened porch and the open deck. Beach access was a little difficult due to the sand dune but we made it work. Love this place. We will be back. 2nd time renters.

Great Location and House!

This is a great property. Superb views and great open space concept. The house itself is well stocked with dishes, linens, towels, and beach goodies. The beach itself is 20 feet away from the soft sand Cape San Blas beach. Walking distance to the Trading post for groceries, alcohol, donuts, and ice cream. The only cons I have are the beds are uncomfortable and probably due to be replaced and I wish there was a propane grill instead of charcoal. But those are minor and I will definitely book again.

Bucket list fire on the beach

The house was exactly as described. Very clean and everything we needed. Directly on the beach. We would certainly recommend this house and location for families. The kids made friends and played on the beach while we enjoyed the fire. We roasted marshmallows and the sunsets were gorgeous.

Great stay

Great stay. House had everything we needed and everything worked. Never once needed to message home owner which is a great thing!! Everything was clear, labeled, and tidy. Plenty of room for sleeping although the bunk beds could use some upgrading. Super close to the beach. No complaints. Would definitely stay here again

Nice perch

Great house with great location. We love the landing with the two high Adirondack chairs over the dunes - a perfect spot to watch the beach, waves, and sunset if you don't want to get sandy and would like to be closer to the house. We also appreciate the short walk to the Cape Tradin' Post where you can get all the essentials and a bit more.
