Ocean view, private pool, hot tub, fire pit, North Cape! Fall dates available!

Don't Worry Beach Happy is an amazing 4 bedroom 3 bathroom home located just steps away from the beaches of North Cape San Blas, sitting 1st Tier but nearly beachfront, with breathtaking ocean views from two decks. A short boardwalk to the beach is directly in front of Don't Worry Beach Happy, just a few steps away. Inside you will find all of the comforts of home with a well stocked kitchen to cook your dinner feasts, a dining table that seats eight, a gas fireplace, and flat screen TV's in every bedroom.

Downstairs we have two bedrooms and a full bath. The Queen bedroom has beautiful ocean views, built in bookshelves, and a flat screen TV. The bunkbed room is a great retreat for the kids with a twin over full bunkbed with twin trundle that pulls out and a flat screen TV with a WII play system. As you travel upstairs you have a Queen guest room with flat screen TV and separate bathroom; and the King master suite with ensuite bathroom and deck overlooking the beautiful white sands and ocean views. Outside you will find two ocean view decks, a gas and charcoal grill, and an outdoor shower with hot and cold water. After a long day at the beach, you can retreat to your backyard oasis under the stars cooking hotdogs or smores on the fire pit and relaxing in your private hot tub. Or lounge and relax and let the kids splash around in the ocean-side private pool (pool heat available for additional charge).

We also have a fenced in front yard to let the dogs play. Two dogs are welcome with a non-refundable pet fee. The beaches of Cape San Blas are also very dog friendly!

Don't Worry Beach Happy is in walking distance to The Trading Post, Cape Ice Cream, Weber's Donuts, Peachy's, and Scallop Cove (all within 0.4 miles)! We are also situated by the bike path if you enjoy biking!

The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We loved the location and our family enjoyed the hot tub, pool, and fire pit. It’s also very close to the Trading Post and St. Joe Shrimp. An added bonus is that the kitchen was very well stocked. We will definitely stay here again!

Great Time

We stayed for three nights with our kids, parents and grandparents and it was wonderful. The hot tub and pool were very much enjoyed and the incredibly short haul to the beach made it easy to go back and forth even with the little ones. Ashely was very easy to get in touch with and help when needed. Overall a great trip!

Perfect Spring Break Getaway

We loved this house and discovering Cape San Blas/Port St. Joe for the first time - 3 adults and 3 teens. The house and location are even better in person. The yard areas give it a cozy vibe, whether in the pool, hot tub, on decks. Beautiful palms and flowers. The house is very clean, nicely decorated and completely stocked, so close to the beach, beautiful views. Great rooms/bathrooms. Thoughtful touches by owners. We rode bikes often to each of two nearby grocery stores (2 minutes), got donuts at Webers, shopped & ate in PSJ, climbed the lighthouse (pretty park), got tasty seafood at St. Joe Shrimp Co nearby, visited the state park. I really hope to return! It was tough to leave! Ashley is really great and easy to communicate with. Thankful they share this gem.

We stayed at Don’t Worry Beach Happy with 3 generations, and everyone had a great time. The beach access was very convenient for little ones and grandparents alike. The dog yard and gate on the steps were perfect for our pup! She had a blast too. Beautiful views despite not being “front row”.

We were so happy with our decision to stay at Don't Worry Beach Happy! The location was amazing! We loved our view of the ocean and the neighbors were great! The house was clean and contained everything we needed. We loved having campfires at night and the fact that we could grill out for meals! We highly recommend!!

The perfect beach house

We had a wonderful time at this beach house. It is so close to the beach, closer than some beachfront properties I have stayed in before. The house is fully stocked and clean. The acoustics of this house are top notch, which sounds really silly, but the sound of a big family doesn't carry to each area of the house. We will be staying here again !

We Loved it…

Beautiful place, Ashley is a wonderful host, house is very nice, we would go back and stay here again. The locals are friendly, cape and st joe both have amazing food places as we don’t like to cook on vaca that’s a must for us. Ohhh and Shooby’s ice cream and water ice was a huge hit for our kids. We love the natural beach full of shells and crabs, the marsh is also beautiful. If you are considering staying at the Cape, look no further than this house.. our stay date 4-11-23-4-18-23 Thanks Ashley

Great Views, Close to Beach, Comfortable Stay

Our group of six adults stayed in this beach house for a week and it met all of our needs. It's a closer walk to the beach then the pictures show, great views from the main deck and the master bedroom to enjoy in the morning and evening, pool was great to hang out by when it got too hot on the beach and having a fenced in area for our two dogs made it great for them as well. There is plenty of room to spread out in the beach house, a very well stocked kitchen with several small appliances like a toaster and crockpot, and a big kitchen table to eat at. We made all of our meals during the week and the kitchen was well suited for us. There were six beach chairs in good condition available for us to use, beach towels and an amazing outdoor shower! I've been to Cape San Blas five times and this was the best place I've stayed at. It's also walking distance to the trading post, beachwear and other amenities in the area. The host is also very easy to get a hold of, checked in during our stay and was easy to communicate with.

Excellent vacation stay with family

One of the most well stocked kitchens we have rented. Perfect for our families with 4 under four. Layout is nice, proximity to beach cannot be beat, and the pool and firepit were hits with everyone. The extra beach chairs were fantastic with plenty of extra beach play toys for the kids. The one full tub made kids bath time a little challenging, but manageable. Would have liked a couple extra bath/wash towels to be able to use with the kids. Overall property was very clean, but floors could use a good scrubbing and a little dust on the ceiling fans. Overall the families were very pleased with out stay. Ashley was a fantastic host and very responsive to our inquiries and made sure we were fully satisfied. We plan to repeat as soon as we are able.

The home was just as pictured and described. It was well maintained, clean and well stocked with items for beach fun and inside comfort. It nicely accommodated our extended family and dogs. We didn’t use the pool due to the time of year but it looked inviting. The hot tub and fire pit were super on cool evenings. We would absolutely return to Cape San Blas and rent this house again.

Great stay!

Property is literally just a few steps from the beach and you can see the ocean from the top deck. The outdoor shower was wonderful with kids!!! We rented bikes from The Sand Flea (they were wonderful!) and biked to the state park. The trading post along the way has yummy ice cream and milkshake options! It was a wonderful, relaxing long weekend!
