Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
This Gulf-front home is well equipped and ready to host your annual vacation with the family (dogs included)! The deck offers panoramic views across the water, and you can admire the vista from the large sliding glass doors off the living room. The private boardwalk takes you down to the beach where shelling, fishing, and crabbing are abundant, as are sightings of dolphins, eagles, and other wildlife!
What's nearby:
Kayaking, fishing, and golfing are popular activities here, and must-see attractions include the St. Joseph Bay State Buffer Reserve Center (five miles away) for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and bird watching. You'll also be 11 miles south of the Cape San Blas Lighthouse, which offers bay views from the top and a gift shop inside.
Things to know:
This home is next to the three-bedroom As Pelicans Pass (the two do not share any amenities), creating an ideal set-up if you're traveling with another family, extended relatives, or a larger group of friends
Free WiFi
Full kitchen
Dog-friendly
Snowbirds welcome!
If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us.

House has amazing location with virtually your own private beach. House is spacious and the kitchen has everything you could need. Host company was very friendly and attentive and responded within minutes when needed. Made for a perfect vacation for my group of 6. Weather was great all week

We had a wonderful 3-night stay at A Wise Way. The location is perfect—right on the beach, close to Cape San Blas, stores, and downtown Port St. Joe. The house was very comfortable, and we appreciated meeting the owner’s grandson next door, who kindly offered to help if needed. We loved the peaceful days on the beach with no crowds. Would definitely stay here again!

Our Stay
There were a couple of issues with our stay I would like to share.
1 When we first arrived we had trouble entering. 1st, it’s a 9 digit code, too long in my opinion. But on top of that the instructions were for a Yale lock, this home has a Schlage lock. We struggled with that (thought about calling for a key) and finally went thru the VRBO/Vacasa app for confirmation on how to operate it. Shouldn’t have to jump thru hoops just to enter.
2. Then there was the refrigerator delivery. We get a text stating, literally, FYI, a fridge will be delivered on 2/20. To the driveway? Into the home? Rob called and talked to a Vacasa rep about this and yes, in fact the fridge would be switched out. A rep would meet the delivery and we could be there or not. This in itself is intrusive. Do we schedule the 4 hour window to be here and move our own food? Do we put it in coolers? The appx $1600 in Vacasa fees are paid for these exact things not to happen. It got a little worse. On Tuesday I got two missed calls and a text regarding this fridge. This is the text:
Fridge guy is 15 away. I’m more than 15 minutes away. Is the door open. I’m on Mexico Beach. He was supposed to call 30 mins before
I am not a coworker of this person. There was a 4 hour window, 12-4, and a Vacasa rep should have been here waiting in the driveway for the delivery, period.
No one from Vacasa ever showed. We were on the beach, Rob happened to go up to the house and saw a delivery truck. He let them in, h
