"Gloriline" at Crescent Palms Beach is absolutely one of the premier homes on Cape San Blas. This truly unique custom built home is a treasure to our forgotten coast. Set back among the Pines for privacy, Gulf-front screened porches overlook the pool area and three other homes on the three acre site. Watch dolphins and the sunset from the private beach access or strolling on the wide beach just below. Most holidays bring no more than 40 or 50 people to the six mile stretch of beach, which is wonderful for shelling.

Guest bedrooms with screened porches have views of the Bay while the master (middle floor) and living (top floor) face out past French doors onto nine feet deep screened porches with views of the Gulf. Sip coffee in the morning while watching and hearing woodpeckers and other birds as they enjoy the Pines. Enjoy lunch or dinner outside with an oscillating Floor Fan on those evenings when the breeze dies down a bit.

Built by one of the best local builders this home meets or exceeds all "GREEN HOME" standards and has earned the State of Florida’s Energy Star rating. This is the perfect property for those with allergies as furniture is hardwood and cabinets are chemical and formaldehyde free built by premier cabinet maker Neil Kelly from Oregon.

Only six miles from St. Joe State Park, this home is perfectly suited for those who want to get away and have peace and privacy but close enough should you want to go out for the day or evening. There are several good restaurants including the famous Owl Café in Apalachicola and Provisions in Port St Joe as well as access to St. Vincent Island Wildlife Preserve and horse riding rentals at Salinas Park just a few steps away from the property. Call Killfish Charters for fishing/diving or just take a couple of beach chairs and a canopy and spend the day enjoying the fish and sun and gentle surf.

There are many beach houses for rent but nothing quite like this elegant yet comfortable home. It is the perfect vacation home for couples and small families. Prepare to be delighted.
