Sandy Footprints is a Gulf view home located on the extreme north end of St Joseph Peninsula, better known as the “North Cape.” It comes complete with one of our largest private heated pools with built in seats, a wonderful gas grill outdoor kitchen, large outdoor storage closet, plenty of parking, and a street that only has 4 total homes.
Sandy Footprints is located less than an eighth of a mile from the entrance to T.H. Stone Memorial State Park or “The State Park.” This means you might catch views of deer feeding on the vegetation or will have access to the boat ramp if you bring your boat. The boardwalk to the beach is directly in front of Sandy Footprints and shared by the 4 homes on the street. The white sandy beaches of Cape San Blas are only 300ft from Sandy Footprints.
The owners of Sandy Footprints rented beach homes for their family vacations for many years so they know how important a nicely furnished, well maintained, and fully stocked beach home is to the overall enjoyment of your family’s vacation.
Need room to also park your boat? – there is plenty of easy access and turn around parking space available at Sandy Footprints!
Sandy Footprints will be undergoing a mini renovation in the Fall of 2022 to replace the roof, couches, and upgrade a few other items throughout the home. Stay tuned for updates!

Kathleen L.Great Birthday Getaway
Teresa's Beach Homes never disappoints! We has a lovely time! Just wish we could have stayed longer! House is comfortable (beds are a bit firm) and well appointed. Location is great...very private even though there are other houses around.

CarterWonderful!
We had a wonderful stay at Sandy Footprints! The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The pool was tons of fun after spending the morning at the beach. The proximity to the beach and State Park was wonderful! We have already rebooked for next summer!

Kathleen L.Lovely Trip
We thoroughly enjoyed out time at Sandy Footprints. The layout made it easy to spread out, and it was just a short walk to beach (less than 2 mins). Wonderful views from the top deck of the gulf. I really appreciated the grassy area behind the house for the pups. The pool was lovely and warm enough for a quick dip every day when coming in from the beach. We love renting form Teresa's Beach Homes!

Lynda D.Great Location on Cape San Blas!
Sandy Footprints was a wonderful location for our family spring break get-away in mid-March! We enjoyed its close proximity to several good restaurants and the Fish Market and to the state park. All of us wanted exercise and just to get away from winter. Long Beach walks, sitting by the heated pool, and enjoying one another was the plan and although the weather could have been better, we achieved our goal and enjoyed the visit to the hilt. The kitchen offered everything needed for cooking, preparing, and serving meals (after we mastered the unusual stove), and the bedrooms and baths were clean and comfortable. No elevator is in the house and a trek over the dunes to get to the beach provided us with with needed exercise, so we saw this as a plus! I only missed the ability to see the sunset from the main floor as two houses in front obstructed the view, and the upstairs porch was rather raw at this early time of the year.

Marcia L.Perfect House
Loved the house. Had everything needed for a great vacation. The road to the house is not good if you care anything about your vehicle. It was clay with several holes that Held water. A load of gravel would have helped keep it from being muddy. Hopefully they will take care of it if they want people to return.

Thank you for your review and I'm sorry you had a hard time with the road. We had a large amount of rain during the Summer which caused some pot holes, however, they have since been repaired.
DecaGreat Folks
Absolutely great experience. Teresa and Teri are by far the best summer rental agents around. The pool was terrific for the kids. The house is close to the beach so it’s possible to run back and forth to the house. We will be back!

Elisabeth W.Beautiful, quiet beach house!
We stayed for a week and loved the house and heated pool. The beach was quiet even during spring break and filled with shells! My boys loved being able to swim even on cooler days. We had an issue with a thermostat and they were able to get it fixed quickly. We look forward to returning!

Karen G.Sandy Footprints
The house is beautiful! Very nicely decorated. We had a wonderful stay. It is very private and it was warm enough to use the pool. Just love the Cape in October and November! Most of all, we love booking with Terri and Teresa and have been for years. We always know what to expect and their prices and service can’t be beat.

Cinda P.A perfect week in a perfect beach house!
We had such a wonderful stay at the beautiful, comfortable and perfectly appointed Sandy Footprints. The space was exactly the right fit for our group. We used the kitchen for several meals and it was equipped with everything we needed. We spent time in the pool everyday and the short walk to the beach was easy. We had our pups and they loved the house and the covered deck where they watched us as we swam in the pool. We loved the restaurants and stores we visited on cape especially Weber’s Donuts! The piggly wiggly in Port St Joe had everything we needed to stock up for the week. My kids (adult and teen) and the friends they brought all thought it was one of if not the best vacations they had ever been on. Hope to be back!!

Cinda, I am so glad that we could help you facilitate one of your best vacations. I hope we can continue to do so for many vacations to come! Thank you.
Suzanne S.Nice North Cape home
We had a pleasant week in Sandy Footprints last month, lousy weather and all It's a clean nicely decorated home on North Cape. The master suite was a bit cramped for our tastes, but we''l be back again for our annual May trip since the house next door we normally rent, Bella Vista, is undergoing renovations. I have recommended this house to friends.

Suzanne, We are so thankful for your continued support of our area. I hate that you are not able to stay in your beloved Bella right now, but hope you will continue to visit and enjoy our area. We look forward to having you back.
Verna S.Lovely house, great pool!
Beautiful, clean house and a great saltwater pool. Kitchen is more than stocked with cookware, etc. Comfy beds and furniture. We're spoiled for beachfront so we did miss the view. Elevator would be a great addition to an already great house. This was my first rental with Teresa and we were beyond pleased. Had a little garbage disposal issue when we arrived and I'm almost not exaggerating when I say a friendly fellow was knocking on the back door before I hung up the phone. Very proactive and forthright property manager!

Alan S.It was a week of many opportunities.
The views from the decks were outstanding. The upper floor was great with its 3 bedrooms - one of which was a bunk room ... perfect for many small ones or many big ones as well ... the kitchen was large and well equipped ... Being at the end of the cape the silence at night was refreshing. Having your own pool made the whole experience even more special.

Vista R.Perfect family beach home
What an amazing week we had at Sandy Footprints;) This is our 7th year vacationing at Cape San Blas and our 1st time at this home. There were 12 of us ranging from 3 months to age 59. It was perfect for each age range & the wonderful large kitchen allowed for some quality family time. The pool was a perfect relaxing spot after playing on the beach. Great bathrooms & bedrooms. No one ever felt crowded. Teresa & Terri were the greatest at communicating & that made preparation for our vacation much easier. They were quick to respond to any questions while we were there. The 2 local businesses we used the most were Trading Post & St Joe Shrimp Co. Prices and items needed were great. We visited the preserve while there & sad to see what damaged occurred but also excited to see how nature added more beauty to the area. Definitely recommend this location if you have a large group that enjoys quality time

Laura F.Perfect pet-friendly beach home
I can't say enough good things about this house; the private pool, the short walk to the beach, pet friendly, and the house itself is just amazing! I've been coming to the Cape for over 10 years and this is by far my favorite place to stay. Just 7 months after the storm the beach is just as lovely and the sunsets are still as breathtaking as ever. Most businesses are back open, things are returning back to normal, and the people are happy to have you there. With that being said this was one of our best vacations yet. I look forward to coming back in a few months to spend another week!

Laura, I am so thankful for your patience and understanding this year and I am so glad we finally had a year where we didn't have to have a little pow-wow prior to arrival (YAY NO HURRICANES or FLOODING IN SPRING!) Thank you for your continued support through the years and through mother natures mood swings!
Tommy W.Better than new!

Jen S.We love this beautiful home!
This is the second year we have stayed at Sandy Footprints and we absolutely love this house! It's very accommodating for large groups and families. The main level is wonderful with a beautiful, well-stocked kitchen, open to the dining and living areas. We love to cook our seafood dinners and the outdoor kitchen is a griller's dream! And the pool is gorgeous! We spend most of our time in the afternoon around the pool. Cape San Blas is just as beautiful today as it was a year ago. The beaches are beautiful and as always the people are warm and friendly. Yes, we did see hurricane damage on our way to and from the house, but that was to be expected. These communities have come a long way in a short amount of time. Our hearts go out to everyone who lost so much and we continue to pray for their recovery. We love this area and can't wait to book our next vacation! Thank you Teresa and Terri for providing such beautiful homes for us to enjoy!

Don J.Wonderful house with pool close to beach.
2nd time we have stayed here. This time was 6 Adults, 4 kids and a baby. Lots of room, 2 different decks off the beach side made for some enjoyable sunsets. Beach was not crowded with plenty of room for Frisbees, campfires at night. Nice board walk from house to beach. Pool is good size and so refreshing after being on the beach all day. We could watch kids play in pool or play basketball from the outdoor kitchen as we grilled up some fresh fish, enjoyed happy hour and reflected on the day. Then up to the top deck to catch the sunset or out to the beach to make s'mores and watch meteor showers and gaze at the milky way. House even has some pool/beach toys you can use. We left our extras too. House was clean and WiFi was fast enough for streaming movies at night. Kitchen is large and has all the essentials. We will be back in 2020 for sure.
