This 2 bedroom, 2 bath stilt home with WIRELESS INTERNET is just 300 ft from the beach with 
no traffic & no roads to cross. Decor reflects the colors and natural 
beauty of this still-pristine area of the Gulf Coast. Forget dense 
decorations & mirror walls... this one is clean & simple. Brand new 
in '97, built by a career builder for retirement, the home has some 
real plusses; real wood windows (and LOTS of them, a SIX foot bathtub 
for soaking away stress, natural forest area preserved in front of 
the house and a floor plan designed for pure relaxation. The breezes 
& sea sounds make for some serious relaxation. 

The area is clean and private with natural vegetation, very safe and 
family oriented. Leave your belongings on the beach and no worry. 
Crowds?  Forget it!  On Memorial Day (2002) at noon, we counted maybe 
30 people as far as the eye could see. Swimming is a joy...an even, 
sandy bottom and no currents. The water is clear and appears emerald 
green most of the time (storms can make it cloudy). 

Walking in the wooded dunes is a real treat. It is very enjoyable to 
visit the State Park and hike out toward the tip of the Cape taking 
the path along the bay. If you're quiet, you will usually come upon 
groups of small Cape deer. The beach at the St Joseph State Park was 
most beautiful in the U.S. by Dr Beach's annual rating. That beach is 
2 miles north of Sea Dune...essentially a continuation of the same 
beach except at the State Park, in the absence of any development, 
the dunes remain in their natural state...in some places up to 30 ft 
high.

There are no bars, motels, game rooms etc on the Cape and traffic is 
limited to people renting homes, state park visitors and service 
folks. Cape San Blas is sparsely developed with plenty of open areas 
for meandering. 

You can fish right on the beach in front of the house and usually 
catch some whiting and the occasional flounder. Sometimes there are 
numerous blue crabs. The best fishing is at an area called 
the "stumps" about 2 miles south of the house. Look for the rock 
barrier wall on the gulf side...that's where it is. It's also fun to 
take a boat out into the bay where the fishing is also very good. 
Boat rentals are available at Presnell's Marina (between the Cape & 
Port St. Joe) and a new place that opened next to Captain Jacks store 
on the Cape near the State Park.

The bay is great for snorkeling. There are areas in the State Park 
(further out on the Cape) that are shallow where you can walk out 
waist deep, then lay down to snorkel. At Sea Dune, the Cape is only 
900 feet wide. From the Cape back to the mainland it is 10 miles 
across the bay at its widest point so you are really "out in the 
water". 

From Sea Dune's driveway you walk 200 feet to the main road, turn 
right, then about 350 feet to the "Tradin Post", a folksy convenience 
store. For a supermarket, the closest would be in Port St Joe, about 
10 minutes drive. 

For shopping, antiques and excellent restaurants, it's about 20 
minutes to Appalachicola, a sleepy one-time cotton port that time 
forgot...plenty of quaint homes nestled in old sub-tropical 
neighborhoods. There are a number of good restaurants...I 
recommend "The Hut" for excellent seafood...not at all fancy, but a 
table by the bay and stuffed flounder like you've never tasted. 

When the weather is favorable, I like to sleep with all the windows 
open (Sea Dune has 12 windows and one sliding door). Listen to the 
waves and feel the breeze... There is nothing quite like it! Stroll 
out onto the deck late at night and look up; you will be amazed at 
the night sky. I have seen Venus so bright that it casts a reflection 
on the Gulf!

"Sea Dune" has been designed to harmonize with its surroundings. The 
lot is wooded and affords a good deal of privacy. The furnishings are 
comfortable and informal. The interior architecture could be 
described as "beach Shaker"...clean lines, open areas, colors that 
reflect the sea and sky.

So, don't take my word for it... experience it yourself... the "Sea 
Dune" house at beautiful Cape San Blas!
