About this property

Pet friendly & fenced, all size pets welcome, 5 mins to beach & bay, est. 2023.

Fully fenced, pet friendly property on half an acre. Fun trails with lots of sniffing opportunities! Located in a quiet neighborhood with no adjacent properties, giving you lots of peace & privacy. Just 3 min walk to bay & 7 min walk to beach, beach cart provided, along with 2 bikes & outdoor games. There is also a fire pit in the yard for fun evenings with family & friends. A charcoal BBQ is located in the back yard.
New build completed in March 2023, with 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms, one with a tub. Fully equipped kitchen with every gadget! Laundry facilities included.
A comfortable spacious screened porch over looks the front of the property, where you can enjoy sunrises & sunsets. Also a rear deck with great views.
We love dogs so have no restriction on number or size, nor do we charge a pet fee. Pet bowls & beds and 1 large crate provided.
State park is just a mile away, where you can launch a boat.
3 restaurants on the Cape, 1 bar & 2 general stores.
The deeded beach access dune was renourished earlier this year, but sometimes the tide and storms make it a challenge to access the beach - in this case, the public access is just down the road - see map.
We do not charge a pet fee or mind how many you have, but please let us know how many you are bringing so we can let the cleaners know a head of time - thank you.
If you give us their names, we'll add a stick to the dogwood tree!

What an awesome dog-friendly rental!

Although we weren't able to fully complete our stay (thanks, hurricane!), we enjoyed the time we had at Driftwoof. The owner was readily available for communication, and the home was even better than described. Our new pup loved it, too! We are definitely planning on staying at Driftwoof again.

Our favorite pet friendly getaway

The Driftwoof is such a perfect getaway, convenient to the beach, bay and state park. The small details making sure that our pups had everything needed were a nice touch. Kayaks and paddle boards were fun for exploring the bay at sunrise! Will be back next year!

Best vacation ever!

We had a great time during our stay at Driftwoof. The house had everything we needed. It was super clean and the outdoor space is really nice. We spent a lot of time sitting in the screened in porch. Our dog had the best time on the trip, too. It is truly an amazing property that is very comfortable for people and dogs. This was our second time staying here and we will definitely be back in the future.

Relaxing & Perfect Stay

I’d give this property and it’s owners 6 stars if I could! The house was beautiful and well done in a quiet neighborhood that had easy access to both the gulf and the bay. The house was so thoughtfully done with every need provided for that it made for a comfortable stay. We’ll definitely be coming back. My whole extended family was raving about it! Thanks for having us and for your kind, prompt communication!

Great dog friendly beach house with everything you need

We truly enjoyed this home. They included more than the basics- we were able to use their kayaks, dog supply’s, and they even made a cute sign with our pups name on it. Highly highly recommend. Oh & great with communication!

A haven for dogs and their families

Driftwoof was a delight! The house was perfect, from the layout, to the furnishings, to the accommodations made specifically for dogs. The orientation of the house ensured that either the front screened porch or the back open porch was in shade and comfortable for outdoor relaxing. The fenced in yard allowed our mini-Aussie to roam around, happily exploring the sights, sounds and smells of the Cape. The owners responded quickly to all communications. I would highly recommend this property to any dog owners wanting a relaxing stay at the beach!

Great time on The Cape

We had a fantastic time at Driftwoof. Our party was 5 people and 3 dogs. The big gated lot allowed the dogs to roam a bit and the home was very comfortable and had everything we needed. I grabbed the paddleboard and went for a bay paddle, We brought our jet skis and launched at the nearby state park and scalloped. Great getaway.

Wonderful time at Driftwoof! Very clean & everything we needed was provided. Just bring your pup & clothes! They’ll supple the rest! We enjoyed the bikes, local restaurant Longbill’s was within walking distance, & playing scrabble & dominoes. The area is beautiful. We enjoyed a day at St Joe’s peninsula state park near by.

Great Stay at Driftwoof

Perfect for us and our 2 labs. Beach access is acceptable. 10” walk so we drove due to dogs and “stuff”. Bay access would be better if there was a dock or platform. But that is a neighborhood thing not specific to Driftwoof.

Fabulous from start to finish!

This property exceeded our expectations in every way! The home is in pristine condition. The decor is the perfect balance of contemporary living with the ideal amount of calming beach accents. No detail is overlooked. Even the way home, local area, and checkout information is presented on the refrigerator infographic is both friendly and clear. My adult daughter and I loved hanging out with our three dogs for a relaxing 7 nights. When the edge of Hurricane Francine passed through, we were happy in the comfort of the spacious home. I was especially impressed that Murray checked in with us to make sure all was well. (It was.) Getting to the beach was a quick and easy walk; we found that a 1 minute drive to the Public Access helped our older dogs save their energy for longer walks on the beach. We all very highly recommend Driftwoof, and are looking forward to returning!

We loved driftwoof!

Our family - kids age 7,12, and 16 (and dog and a half!) had everything we needed here! Our pup has never travelled with us and this place was perfect! She’s an escape artist at home and having the fenced in yard was so great for all of us! The house was so private, too. We loved the screened in porch and used it daily. The beach walk was a few minutes long but it appeared there were a couple spots to park close to the private walkover for those that may need it. We love cape San Blas, and Driftwoof is a great house! We will be back!

Driftwoof was amazing!

Driftwoof had everything we needed! Bikes, kayak and fully fenced yard for our sweet pup! The house was super clean and had all the kitchen ware that we needed to cook at home! HUGE plus was the private bay access and private beach access! Hubby caught a variety of fish in the bay on the kayak. LOVED the screened porch! And the outdoor shower was perfect for washing off the worn out pup! Driftwoof has a ton of privacy with a half acre lot and no houses on either side! We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Murray & Emma

Host profile image
We have owned and operated a number of pet friendly rental properties on Cape San Blas over the years, Sandy Paws, Salty Paws, Soggyy Paws, Sunny Paws, and Dune Paws.
All have since been re-homed, and we now have Driftwoof to offer.
We feel that most pet owners want to bring their pets on vacation, and why not since they are a major part of the family, so being pet friendly is our #1 concern.

Why they chose this property

Driftwoof is nicely situated on half an acre, midway between the gulf and the bay, with deeded access to both. A 7 minute walk to the beach, or a 5 minute stroll to the bay!
The property is fenced and gated, and offers a tranquil spot for both sunrises and sunsets.

What makes this property unique

Cape San Blas is known as the forgotten coast, the beaches are unspoilt, pet friendly (leash laws applies), with stunning emerald green waters.
The bay offers kayaking, dolphin watching, scalloping during the season, fishing and turtle spotting.
