About this property
Resting Beach Face, the Best of Both, Bay & Beach!
Star Gazing, Beach Bon Fire, Horseback Riding, Beach Combing, and Rest and Relaxation. If this sounds like your vacation desire, Resting Beach Face is for you. Conveniently located on the north end of the Cape, our home includes dedicated private access to the white sand beaches of Cape San Blas and private access to St Joseph Bay for those who enjoy snorkeling for shells and scallops (in season), as well some of the best bay fishing to be found. Bring your kayak and paddle boards! Two public beach access points are just minutes away, both north and south.
The top floor screened deck is the perfect area to toast amazing sunsets. Is sunrises are your passion, go onto the small, north deck or take the short walk to the bay and be amazed. St. Joseph Peninsula State Park is 1.5 miles away, offering a scenic glimpse into the Cape before being settled. Take the Hammock Trail for an education into the Cape flora. The trail is just inside the park entrance.
Port St. Joe and Apalachicola are a short drive from the Cape and offer amenities of small towns. Apalach even has a brewery! Each town has it's own eating establishments and the Cape has a few. Longbill's and Coneheads are less than a mile to the north, Peachy's is next to the Trading Post to the south. The Cape Trading Post and Scallop Cove offer last minute grocery and adult beverages. The "Post" has an attached liquor store. Don't miss a trip to Weber's Little Donut Shop next to the "Post", where a dozen are just not enough, but go early; the line sometimes forms at 5:30AM for a 7:30 AM opening and yes, they are that good.
Bring your binoculars for bird watching and for night sky gazing off the north side top deck. On a clear night, the milky way is visible and the limited light pollution of the Cape brings stars right to your fingertips.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Darryl & Jane Anderson

We are a big family, six adult children, their spouses and 12 grandchildren. We even have a great granddaughter!! We have been blessed in so many ways. I, Darryl, retired from the fire service in 2018, Jane is still supporting our endeavors. Our cousin has a home on the Cape and insisted we visit. That was all it took, and we got here as fast as we could. If you decide to visit, we hope you'll decide to stay as well. This place is an amazing gift from heaven, and a bit of heaven is right here!
Why they chose this property
We chose this property based on the size and amenities. I like a yard and there are not many on the Cape. We also like that we are close to the bay and beach. Jane likes the sand, I'm not a fan. I like to wade fish for trout and redfish; Jane would rather be in a boat!! It's not a huge place but is very manageable and convenient. We enjoy an evening on the deck with a glass of wine and a nice meal. We think you will enjoy it as well. Come give the Cape a chance and be ready; it's addicting
What makes this property unique
I think our property will stand out because of the yard. We recently cleared off a part of the property to the east and hope to have that as useable green space in the future. The house also doesn't look like a beach house but more like a "New Orleans" home. The proximity to the beach and bay makes both easily accessible. Resting Beach Face is also a short 0.3 mile walk to Rish Park and the swimming pool there.
