About this cottage rental

Scallop Cove #5 (Blue Tortuga) - Bayside Villa - North Cape San Blas.

Leaf your worries behind at the Blue Tortuga, a bright and airy 2-bedroom, 1-bath bayfront villa on St. Joseph's Bay. The open, sunlit living space and screened-in porch are made for slow mornings and golden-hour evenings, with the bay right outside your door. Cast a line from the pier, paddle the calm waters with kayak and canoe rentals nearby, or follow the private boardwalk to the Gulf's sandy beaches. Gather your favorite people (*the pup is welcome too!) and make this your new seasonal tradition on the Cape.

*Please note pets at the time of booking. Pets are welcome once declared and pet fees have been paid.

Property Highlights:
- Un-be-leaf-able Bay Views: Unobstructed views of St. Joseph's Bay, with calm waters glowing in the golden fall light
- Deck & Porch Gatherings: Spacious deck and screened-in porch for lounging, holiday dinners, or toasting the season with your crew on cool, breezy evenings
- Pier-fect Days on the Bay: Step onto the pier for some fishing, or paddle the bay with nearby kayak and canoe rentals for a little fall adventure
- Boardwalk to the Gulf: Private boardwalk leads to the Gulf's pristine sandy shores, uncrowded and peaceful this time of year. Gourd times, guaranteed!
- Everything Close By: Local bait and tackle, grocery, gas, and the Loggerhead Run Bike Path are just steps away, so you can spend less time running errands and more time making memories

Whether you're fishing, paddling, birdwatching, or simply soaking up the season, the Blue Tortuga puts you in the heart of it all.

AMENITIES NOTES: There is no washer/dryer in the unit. There is a small laundromat at the market next door.
