A private king suite is located just behind the kitchen, offering convenient access to the main living areas and its own en suite bathroom.

The laundry room includes a full-size front-loading washer and dryer, making it easy to refresh beach towels and clothing throughout your stay.
THIRD-LEVEL NEST SUITE
The private third-floor king suite—known as “The Nest”—offers panoramic views of the dunes, beach and Gulf. It includes an en suite bathroom, comfortable sitting area, personal coffee station and direct access to a private covered balcony.
PRIVATE POOL AND BEACH ACCESS
Cool off after a day on the beach in your private 12' x 26' pool. The pool is five feet at its deepest point and surrounded by a safety fence.
Optional pool heat is available for $50 per night and must be purchased for the entire reservation. The heater generally raises the water temperature approximately 10–15 degrees above the outdoor air temperature. Pool heat is most effective during the spring and fall and may not be effective during unusually cold winter weather.
An on-property boardwalk leads directly from the home to the Gulf, with no roads to cross and no need to load the car for a beach day. Beach chairs, beach towels and an outdoor shower are provided.
EXPLORE CAPE SAN BLAS
Sparrow’s Nest is located on the quieter south end of Cape San Blas, less than 1.5 miles from the pickleball courts at Salinas Park.
Explore the 11-mile Loggerhead Bike Trail, kayak along the coastline, go fishing, look for dolphins or catch your own scallops when in season. Local restaurants, shops, charter services and the waterfront community of Port St. Joe are within easy driving distance.
Cape San Blas offers a peaceful, uncrowded setting. The Cape Trading Post is approximately six minutes away, while larger grocery stores are available in Port St. Joe.
THOUGHTFUL HOSPITALITY
Sparrow’s Nest is veteran-owned and personally managed with a focus on cleanliness, comfort and thoughtful hospitality. Whether you are planning a multigenerational getaway, birthday, anniversary or long-awaited beach vacation, our goal is to make your time together effortless and memorable.
