CAPE COTTAGES
Nestled just outside the entrance to T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, our vacation rentals offer the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure along Florida’s Gulf Coast. This hidden gem, located on Cape San Blas, provides easy access to both the Gulf of Mexico and St. Joseph Bay, making it ideal for outdoor lovers and beachgoers alike. 

 

Spend your days soaking up the sun on white sandy beaches, casting a line into the surf or bay, kayaking through calm waters, or collecting seashells along the shoreline. Evenings are best spent around a beach bonfire or capturing the stunning sunsets that light up the sky in brilliant hues – a true photo-worthy experience! 

 

With opportunities for boating, fishing, shelling, hiking, biking, and more, Cape San Blas delivers a peaceful, family-friendly escape away from the crowds. You’ll find a laid-back atmosphere, rich natural beauty, and the kind of coastal charm that keeps guests coming back year after year. 

 

PET FRIENDLY WITH STIPULATIONS
We welcome well-trained dogs to stay in this home. We require that your dog be completely potty trained and prefer dogs older than 2 years old. Crate Trained pups are preferred to deter mischievous behavior while you and your party are enjoying the beach. It is understood that while we do allow dogs with the mentioned stipulations any damages that occur during your stay will be charged to the credit card on file with the minimum fee being $350.00.

Absolutely the cleanest vacation rental we’ve ever stayed in (and we’ve stayed in a lot). Everything was fresh, modern and pristine. Very small issue getting in but was resolved literally within a minute. If you’re on the fence about renting this place, trust me and just do it. No regrets at all!

This was a cute, well-maintained cottage that was very clean and comfortable. The beds were cozy, and the pool was clean and clearly well cared for. We also really appreciated having a washer and dryer, which made our stay much easier, and the kitchen was well-equipped and good for cooking.
We were glad to have a vehicle, as the walk to the public beach access was a little farther than we expected, but it was an easy drive. The restaurant next door was convenient and made for a nice walk. It was also a great place to stay with our pup, and we appreciated that it was pet-friendly.

Thank you for your review, Lisa! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the cute, well-maintained cottage and found it clean, comfortable, and well equipped for your stay.
It’s wonderful to know the cozy beds, clean pool, washer and dryer, kitchen setup, nearby restaurant, and pet-friendly accommodations all added to your experience. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the walk to public beach access and are glad it was an easy drive for your group.
Thank you for staying with Panhandle Getaways. We hope to welcome you and your pup back again soon!

We enjoyed our 2nd time at Heron Cottage & will probably book again for next year ! Bathroom isn’t really handicap accessible because of the high step in tub.
Margo - Posted: 5/25/2026
Thank you, Margo! We're glad you enjoyed your second stay at Heron Cottage and are considering returning next year. Thank you for noting the high step-in tub — we'll share this feedback with the owner and our maintenance team to evaluate accessibility options and ensure the listing reflects the bathroom's limitations. We appreciate you choosing Panhandle Getaways and hope to welcome you back soon.

I had a wonderful stay at this beach cottage! The place was spotless and clearly well-maintained, which made it easy to settle in and feel comfortable right away. It’s in a fantastic location right next to LongBill’s. The cottage was surprisingly spacious, with plenty of room to relax. It was also very accessible. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-located beach getaway.
Ansley - Posted: 6/5/2025
Thank you for your kind words, Ansley! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage to be clean, spacious, and ideally located. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for another beach getaway!
