About the owner: My husband and I started vacationing in Cape San Blas around 2012. We had never been to the area and ended up staying at Amelia By The Bay. We immediately fell in love with the area and was fortunate enough to purchase Amelia from it's previous owner in mid 2017. We live in Louisiana and know how to eat good food and have a great time with family and friends. The Cape San Blas area just seemed to be a perfect fit.
Why this property? When looking for property on the cape, we wanted to be on the north end and have Bay property with a substantial dock. Amelia By The Bay is one of only a few properties that offer this. 70% of the peninsula is publicly owned, so there's only so much property available for private ownership with the features we were looking for. We love the beach, but after you experience what the dock and bay have to offer, you will want to return with access to the Bay. Our home is an open concept home with room for the entire family. All the amenities to keep everyone happy.
