Description Description
Fried Green Tomatoes is the special on our menu! Located midway down the peninsula, between The Cape Trading Post and Scallop Cove in Turtle Dunes, convenience is key for this beach home. Turtle Dunes is a small coastal neighborhood built of vacation homes with a community pool as the center point and gorgeous Cape San Blas just a short walk away from the property. The community pool sits directly next to Fried Green Tomatoes as if it belongs to the house. Just outside of the neighborhood entrance, you can jump onto the Loggerhead Trail, a bike, run or walk trail that extends from one end of the peninsula to the other. Situated on the southernmost point of the peninsula, Salinas Park Bayside overlooks St. Josephy Bay and includes amenities such as a kayak launch, screened picnic areas, public restrooms & outdoor showers, a fire pit, a sand volleyball pit, a playground for the kids, pickleball courts, and a gorgeous walking path along the bay. At the opposite tip of the Cape is the beloved St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, a natural paradise.

The natural beauty and adventure of the Cape are best experienced from the comfort of Fried Green Tomatoes. This beach home's base has a covered and open parking area and an enclosed outdoor shower steps away from the pool. With only one flight of stairs, access inside is more manageable than many of our area’s other vacation homes. Gulf View decks stretch the length of the home on the roadside as well as beachside. The beachside deck is screened-in with a relaxed dining & sitting area. You’ll enter the home into an open living area spacious enough for your group of 8 to spread out and enjoy. The coastal feel continues indoors with the nautical decor and beach style. All on one level, the living room, kitchen, and dining area are book-ended by three bedrooms. The first bedroom, separated from the other two by the living area, has a nice view that overlooks onto the deck. The master bedroom has access onto the screened deck with the bed sandwiched between windows allowing natural light and beach views to stream in. Enjoy the privacy the master bath provides. A second full bath is available from the living area and the third bedroom. The kids in the group will be excited to stay up late, sharing giggles in this bedroom with a set of bunk beds & 2 twin beds. Moms, students, or traveling workers will appreciate the bonus room, which provides a quiet place for laundry and studying/work at the small desk.

Fried Green Tomatoes has it all! Location, convenience, style, comfort, peace, excitement; reasons for a vacation in the first place.

Very nice.
Place was pristine. Everything nice, clean and well maintained. Location is very close to the beach with beach access close. Community pool next door was convenient and mostly empty. Only suggestion would be to put comfortable chairs in the screened porch for reading if it rains.

We loved our stay at Fried Green Tomatoes. The house is beautiful. We had lots of room. We enjoyed the large porches. The outdoor shower was great. We had the pool to ourselves the whole week. The pool was clean and the water was warm.
The beach was just a short walk down the boardwalk, no stairs. The beach was beautiful. Very quiet. Each night was a beautiful sunset.
The street was also very quiet, even with the construction of a new house.
The trading post, donut shop and fish store were just a few streets down. They were very convenient, you can walk, ride a bike or drive.
We had a fantastic trip and hope to return next year.

We had a short but wonderful stay. Communication regarding reservations was very prompt and professional. The house was spotless with great proximity to the pool and beach.

Location is great, description not 100% accurate on the setup of the bedrooms not all being in the same actual house. Overall enjoyed it though!

Thank you for your feedback and glad to hear you enjoyed your stay.  We'll certainly take another look at the description of the property so that its clear that the ground floor mother-in-law suite is completely separate from the rest of the house.

Great house. May try to find one closer to the beach next year, but may also come back to the Flamingo Roost.

The property was perfect! It is a short walk to the beach and had direct access to the pool that was hardly used while we were there. When we arrived the power was out due to a storm and we were quickly able to reach the office after hours (on a Sunday evening) and get the code to get into the rental. I was very impressed with the level of communication through out the booking.
Inside everything was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Pristine Properties does a great job listing out what you need to bring and I recommend following it. They do provide toilet paper (1 roll) in each bathroom, dishwasher detergent (1 load) and laundry detergent (1 load). The Trading Post down the street has everything you need and then some. We recommend eating at Scully's, Long Bill's, Cone Heads and exploring downtown St. Joe. We hope to be back soon!

The property overall was a great. Only things I could say that could be improved on are: 1 leave a few extra trash can liners/bags (we only had the initial one) #2 There were tons of light switches in this house, and quite a few of them we never figured out what they did, might be nice to have some labels on switches, but this in no way affected our stay. #3 We did have a bit of difficulty with the electronic key pad on the door, not sure if the batteries were low or possibly if the touch screen is just overly worn, but it took us several different tries each time we tried to unlock the door.

love csb
This property was sooooo clean. It had a great location, close to pool, beach, grocery, food and yet very quiet. The floor plan of this rental was very well planned. I loved being able to walk out and two minutes be on the beach. It would be a great house for two families, or grandparents and family. Get's my thumbs up award!

Fabulous location
This was our 2nd time to Cape San Blas! We can’t wait to rent Fried Green Tomatoes again! The house was very clean, super nice and in the perfect location. We walked to the Trading Post and to get donuts and ice cream daily. The walk to the beach was a breeze. It was like being right on the beach! This particular street area was well lit and made it easy to find at night compared to others. The pool was also a bonus especially with 2 kids.

Paradise visited
It was a beautiful house. The only negative was deep bathtubs with no handrails. It would be easy to fall. Would certainly rent again.

Great place!
Well-appointed new (and very nice) beach house. Very close to the beach. Right by the convince store, doughnut shop and ice cream stand, too. Perfect for a large family (we have 4 kids) or two small families. Pristine Properties (management company) was fantastic, too. Would definitely stay here again.
