About the host: My name is Stacy Griffin and I am the owner and on site property manager for "Catch of the Bay". I am a single mom from Dothan, Alabama. This is my first endeavor in the vacation home rental business and I couldn't think of a better place to start my new career. Cape San Blas has always been a special place to me. The beauty of the cape doesn't even compare to any beach along the Florida panhandle. I enjoy reading, spending time with my two girls, and being in nature-of course the beach being my favorite. I hate to say "the secret is out" and I really hope you come to love the cape as much as I do!
Why this property? This property is perfect for anyone with a boat! There are many places to explore the bay and the tip of the cape is short 14 mile boat ride and a great place to spend the day. The boat launch is in St. Joseph state park about 4 miles from the house. A short walk to the beach and you have the best of both worlds.
Living on site next door provides our guests with immediate attention for any issues that arise.
Frequently Asked Questions

Edie K.Perfect in every way.
One of the most appointed homes we've stayed in. Absolutely everything you could possibly want in the spacious kitchen, including various spices and condiments. The beds and bedding were very comfortable and towels were plush and soft. The living room furniture was new and very comfortable. Almost forgot to mention that the two decks were awesome with tables, chairs and a hammock that was great for a quick snooze. Yep...perfect in every way. Coming back for sure.

Thank you Edie! We enjoy having you guys and look forward to hosting you all again! See you next year!!
William M.A Clear Winner!
This was our 8th trip to the Cape. We've stayed in a lot of nice, fun houses. However, Catch of the Bay is now our clear favorite! The owners treated us like family. The house is modern, clean, well laid out, and very comfortable. It was the best stocked kitchen we've seen so far. They gave us an allowance at the San Flea Rentals that we partially used on kayaks and crab traps. We usually get bikes as well but we didn't need them this year. Beach access was easy and close. The thing that really set it apart was the quality and ease of bay access! We spend a lot of time each year fishing, looking for wildlife, and sight seeing in the bay. We could leave our kayaks on the dock each day instead of having to haul them around. The dock was also a great place for happy hour or just a place to sit and read. If you like this review and decide to go, pls. do us one favor: Don't tell anyone! Highly recommend!

Michelle W.Beautiful home and great location.
My family and our cats enjoyed our stay in Catch of the Bay. The house is beautifully decorated and the location is perfect for enjoying the ocean and the bay. Stacy added so many extra comfort items to the house and it was so nice to be able to relax and enjoy the beach! My family made great memories in Catch of the Bay!

Kim W.Fantastic Stay
Catch of the Bay offered everything we needed and then some!From Stacy, the owners fantastic communication to a kitchen stocked with EVOO, salt and pepper, zip locks, tin foil etc. All the little things we travelers often forget. It was SO nice to have an extra laundry pod or 5 as well. Stacy definitely thinks in advance about her future guests and what we may find useful. Much appreciated!! Walk to the beach was quick, dock for the boat, fence for the dogs and a screened in porch for an evening cocktail or morning cup of coffee. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Catch of the Bay. You won’t be disappointed.The Wood family

Lauren S.Jewel of the cape
This house is an absolute gem! We have being coming to the cape for 35 years and this will be our forever rental. Had everything we need a boat dock for the fishermen in the family and a very short walk to the beach, so short that our 6 and 4 year olds never complained.Loved this house and Stacy is an awesome host!

Thank you so much for the kind words Lauren! I enjoyed hosting your family and look forward to having you guys back!
Torri K.By far the most amazing host ever!
OK, so there is no need to stay anywhere else if visiting Cape San Blas!!! This adorable establishment is definitely a home away from home! It is the perfect size for a small/mid sized family. Not too big that you get lost and not too small that you don't have room to spread out. The huge back porch and cute front porch give ample room to enjoy the outdoors as well. The furnishings and beds are super comfy. The extremely well stocked kitchen has anything you might need to whip up a meal - small appliances, lots of dishes, really great knives...really, anything you need...even an ice cream scoop!!! There is even a studio apartment downstairs if you need extra space or have someone visiting you while you're on vacation like we did. The beach is less than a 5 minute walk on the Gulf side and the dock associated with the property on the Bay side(my favorite) is a super easy stroll. Be sure to stop by San Flea Rentals for a Kayak which is right next door and the kayaks are already in the water for you! Oh, and if you want to go for a bike ride on the trails...they have a bike for every size. I was just extremely impressed with this property/location ... definitely one of if not THE top of my list for temporary homes for rent(and I've stayed at my fair share). I hope I didn't leave anything out but if I did, the owner is quick with answers and dedicated to ensuring you have a great stay!

Mark M.This rental property went beyond our expectations.
I was impressed with this rental property in so many ways. First off, if you have dogs this place is perfect. Having a fenced in front yard made everything so much easier & made the dogs happier too. The fire pit was a nice touch & the dogs were able to play in the yard while we sat outside & enjoyed the evenings by the fire. The front & back porch's were very nice. I was impressed with the size of the back porch & we sat out there a lot, ate breakfast, played games & enjoyed the nice weather. This rental is stocked with everything you need. I soon realized I had overpacked once I got there. The kitchen has it all, blender, crock pot, can opener, cheese grater, dutch oven, air fryer just to name a few. Plenty of pots & pans, dishes, silverware & a very nice knife set, anything you need to cook with. The kitchen even provided salt & pepper, spices & even 3 different flavors of olive oil. I have never stayed in a rental that was stocked as nice as this one was. All 3 beds were very comfortable & had nice TV's in every bedroom. There are plenty of games to play on those rainy days & even a complete poker set, but no puzzles. If you like to kill time putting together puzzles you'll have to bring one from home. The beach access is across the street about a block away. We got a beach cart with our credit at the Sand Flea Beach Service next door & that made our short trip to the beach very easy. We also rented a few kayaks & explored the bay behind the rental in them. Also the property has a big commercial ice machine behind it & that was so awesome to have. Stacy was a very gracious host & she even checked on us a few times to see if we needed anything. I hope this rental is available next year when we come back to Cape San Blas. I highly recommend this rental property.

Shayne M.Perfect setting for a perfect vacation!
Catch of the Bay was great. The location was awesome. There was lots of room for entertaining friends and family. Wonderful memories were made. There were a lot of laughs and stories told on the spacious porch. We cooked a lot and had everything we needed right there. It was very roomy and decorated beautifully. Beds slept great and everything was exceptionally clean. Furniture was comfortable for laying around and relaxing. Stacy made sure we had everything we needed. San Flea Rentals was also great at making sure all of our beach needs were met. It was a wonderful vacation. We will definitely be back!
