Port Saint Joe, Florida
Bayside Cottage on Cape San Blas with Bay and Gulf Access.
Scallop Cove #4, Sunshine Daydream, overlooks St. Joseph Bay on serene Cape San Blas. Wake up to spectacular sunrises and stroll the beach for stunning sunsets. Enjoy a quiet, romantic dinner on your screened porch or open deck, serving freshly caught fish or scallops. Kayak or canoe the waters of the Bay, hike in the State Park, walk the beach, or just relax and read a book - Cape San Blas has it all. This cottage is one of 6. If you have a large party, let us know and we can check other rentals for you. There is boardwalk access to the beach for relaxing in the sun or watching the porpoises as they play in the surf. The fishing is great in the area.
There is a pier outside your door going out to the bay and parking for 2 cars and a boat trailer (20 ft. or less) at the cottage. The public boat ramp is about five miles away at the State Park. You can use the pier to get on and off your boat, but you cannot tie up to the pier overnight. You can anchor just off the pier. The water is shallow and protected by Pig Island.
Situated on the Gulf of Mexico and St. Joseph Bay, surrounded by miles of protected habitat, white sandy beaches (voted the best beach in the US in 2002 by Dr. Beach), and emerald green waters, Cape San Blas looks like a curled finger of land jutting into the water and provides the protective barrier that keeps our surf so quiet and gentle. There are several parks and historic sites. It's not unusual to spot deer, fox, soaring eagles, osprey, sea turtles, or even a family of black bears. St. Joseph State Park is a 2500 acre wildlife refuge offering ten miles of uninhabited beach and bay shores and a boat ramp.

Absolutely wonderful. Will definitely be back
We loved our stay at the Scallop Cove cottages! So many wonderful memories made! We stayed in sunshine dream.. and everything was a dream! Perfect location.. well stocked and beautiful views of the bay! Thanks for having us! We’ll be back!
Walk directly across to the beach from the Villa!! The Market serves super good food.
When we arrived we had slight delay in check-in due to cleaners still being on site (only a few minutes behind). A was not left inside the property as mentioned in the breakdown after booking; however I was able to reach the manager/owner and he informed me he would take care of it- to just use the one in the lock box. Upon entered the premises we did notice that the bathroom sink did not drain properly so we opted to use the kitchen sink instead for brushing teeth, hand washing etc. The cleaning ladies could have put a little more effort into cleaning (wiping down areas that aren’t touched often) and areas like light switch that get touched frequently. I have a son with special needs and who gets sick easily so it’s important to us that a facility be super clean. So I took it upon myself to wipe the inside down as much as I could with disinfectant wipes. Overall the property was nice and as described in the listing. The view of the bay was perfect and we were in short walking distance of the beach! I would recommend this place to others - hopefully it will have a little more of a thorough cleaning next time we stay.
We had such a wonderful time here. Great experience will definitely be back. Vince was super easy to work with. Highly recommend.
Close to beach, has its own private trail to beach. Relaxing, great views! Only negative is no washer or dryer.
My family enjoyed our stay. The cottage was exactly as advertised and we will stay there again.
It was as advertised with everything we needed for a comfortable stay
Nice place - biggest suggestion is that check in was late (4pm) and checkout was early (10am). It would make the experience much better to change checkin to 2pm and checkout to 11am. Also pier/deck for beach access was a mess - rotted wood with exposed nails. Obviously from hurricane damage however should be repaired by now
Thank you for a great experience.
