This, awesome pet-friendly home is as the name suggests, is “All Decked Out”. Located in a gated community on Cape San Blas, this home is set in very private setting with over 200 feet to the nearest neighbor. All Decked Out has access to a community beach boardwalk with gazebo and seating that is only shared by 4 houses and a community boardwalk to St Joseph Bay. With a private heated swimming pool, elevator, 3 screened porches, private decks and/or porches from every bedroom, an open roof top sun deck and a fenced dog run, this home has it all. This spacious home was built in 2006, and makes for a wonderful romantic getaway or it can easily accommodate the large extended family group. The numerous decks and porches allow guests to sit in the sun or shade, to view sunrises and sunsets and to take advantage of the breeze or be sheltered from it.
Everyone can have their own space if they want it, but there is lots of room for the larger group gatherings. Inside, there are several sitting areas for different groupings. The home has an elevator that services all but the top floor. The large pool area is in a private setting, facing south, with a full bath and covered area, just outside the gate. No need to run wet through the house to use the bathroom or a private shower. There is a pool heater and solar cover to keep the pool comfortable in the cooler season.
This home has everything to make your vacation memorable. The main floor living area, which is located on the second floor to maximize views, has an open floor plan, large kitchen, an electric fireplace, and walkout to the screen porch. The spacious living area has two distinct sitting groups, one with a queen-sized sleeper sofa. The main floor bedroom, has a queen sized bed, private south and west facing deck and attached full bathroom.
The first floor has a beautiful master suite with king sized bed, private open deck and screen porch. The master bath has separate tiled shower and Jacuzzi tub, and double vanity. The second bedroom on the first floor is a large bedroom with attached full bath and private screen porch. There is a twin over double bed, a chair that folds out into a cot, a Pack 'n Play crib in the closet and another queen size sleeper sofa. This floor also has a sitting area and full-sized laundry facilities conveniently located between the bedrooms.
On the third floor, is the 4th bedroom, with a queen sized bed, separate sitting area and open sundeck. Imagine swinging on the hammock up at tree level and enjoying the view of the Gulf or sitting out under the night sky dotted with stars. Amenities include wireless high speed internet access, gas and charcoal grill, dual air conditioners, stereo, cable TV, WIFI, electric fireplace, games and movie library, wagon for trips to beach, Pak-n-Play crib and booster seat and a fenced dog area. Linens are provided and we offer free unlimited long distance to U.S. and Canada -- very important as your cell phone likely won't work well here. The pool is private and heated and there is community access to St. Joseph Bay across the road. The golf course is only 5 miles away and there are 3 boat ramps within 10 miles.
We have no high rises on Cape San Blas, you can walk down the beach and not see another soul outside of spring and summer peak weeks. You can leave your chairs and shelter on the beach and ready for you to come back down to it after your refreshing swim in the private pool. The beaches are pet-friendly too and were rated #1 Pet-Friendly Beach by K-9 magazine in 2006. Even some of the nearby restaurants have outside decks and are pet-friendly.
There is a beautiful community walkway to St Joseph Bay. It is a scenic walk through the pines and palms to the bay, where you could kayak, canoe or wade to get scallops in season.
Here is what one recent guest said, "Thank you for opening your home to us – it was a wonderful size and layout for our family! We were very comfortable and enjoyed the location and amenities. Our first trip to Cape San Blas was a great success and we’d love to come back!" Another guest said "The main living area accommodated all 10 of us easily, yet we were also able to spread out and have some personal space. The older kids loved the private balconies."

We provide a heater and solar blanket to keep the pool warmer during the spring, fall and winter months.
The entire pool deck is sheltered behind the sand dune to the right in this shot. This provides loads of privacy and also blocks the wind on those breezy days.
There is a nice partially-covered patio right off the pool deck that has access to a full bathroom, with indoor shower right next to the pool. The area around this patio is fenced and includes some sand for the convenience of your furry friends.
