Relax with the whole family at this peaceful retreat far away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life. Life slows down at the Cape. It's a magical place known only to a handful of people. The sand is silky soft & the water is shades of blue or green. (But, the occasional storm can turn the water murky.) The sunsets over the ocean are breathtaking, as are the sunrises over the bay. Cape San Blas is far enough away from big cities that you are able to see millions & millions of stars at night.

You are welcome to use the elevator, but please be VERY patient. It is slow and has specific instructions that must be followed for it to work properly. Couple of tips... make sure the inner and outer doors on all levels are closed or it will not work at all, when opening the outer door from inside the elevator, a little trick is to pull the door towards you and the push it open. Children under the age of 12 MUST NOT be allowed to ride alone or play with the elevator. It is a safety issue. You are responsible for ensuring the elevator is properly operated and not abused. It is very expensive to have the elevator repaired and serviced.
We now offer fiber internet.
