Prime Location: Set against the backdrop of protected dunes and the shimmering Gulf waters that can be seen from all Gulf facing rooms, Firefly provides a picturesque retreat. Situated directly opposite the Hibiscus Beach gated community and the protected reserve of Rish Park, it offers seamless access to the pristine shoreline and captivating scenery.


Spacious Accommodations: Spread across three levels, Firefly can graciously host up to 11 guests + 2. The property boasts five meticulously appointed bedrooms and generous communal areas, making it an ideal choice for families or groups seeking coastal indulgence.


Tranquil Retreats: Each of Firefly's five bedrooms offers a haven of comfort and relaxation. Two primary suites feature King beds and ensuite baths, with one boasting an ocean view and the other overlooking the serene bay. 3rd bedroom has a King bed (Bay and Gulf views), additional sleeping arrangements include a bunk room and an additional Full w/ trundle bedroom, catering to children or extra guests. If in need of extra sleeping arrangements, there is a queen sofa bed in the living room and cots available. All bedrooms come complete with televisions if you need to unwind after a long day at the beach.


Elegant Interior: The second floor of Firefly unveils a refined living and dining area, complemented by a contemporary kitchen adorned with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Guests can enjoy dining with a view at either the breakfast bar or 2 dining tables (total indoor seating for 16) while experiencing the breathtaking sunsets.


Outdoor Oasis: Firefly's allure extends outdoors with two expansive Gulf-facing decks that invite relaxation amidst panoramic unobstructed views. Additionally, two bay-facing patios and a private pond provide tranquil settings for unwinding amidst nature's splendor.


Exclusive Access: Guests at Firefly enjoy multiple avenues for beach and bay exploration. Whether venturing through the 2 nature trails or accessing the gated community's pool and beach amenities, every route promises a bespoke experience. Private deeded beach and bay access, alongside a 500-foot bayside dock, ensure exclusivity and convenience.

Relaxing and fun family vacation
Our family had a wonderful time staying at the Firefly beach house. The location was ideal! We loved walking to the beach everyday, having easy access to the dock to take out our kayaks and go fishing, and having beautiful views of the ocean and bay in both directions. The upstairs living area was spacious and there was plenty of seating for our family when we had meals. The property was clean and we appreciated having the 4 bathrooms, as well as the additional half bathroom on the lowest level. The outdoor shower made coming back from the beach an easy process with our young children. We’d love to come back next year!

The house is super close to a boat launch and has easy access to a community pool and the beach. Views from each side were amazing. The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Cape San Blas!

Firefly Beach House
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at Firefly. The location on the island was great. The walk to the beach was more difficult than expected, but we got our exercise! Would be difficult for those with mobility issues, or very small children with lots of gear. The only negative was that the house was not very clean and some items needed repair. Most of the bathrooms were very dirty, the dishes and silverware were dirty (both wet and had food stuck on them), and the dishwasher could not be used. The inside was covered with black mold. Also, the microwave seemed to have a short. It made a very loud pop when turned on. We did make at least 2 or 3 calls to the rental company regarding these issues, but our messages were not returned and when we did speak with someone, the issues were never taken care of. If these had all been fixed, our stay would have been perfect.We really enjoyed both the front and the back porches to watch the sunrise and sunset. We rode bikes, and enjoyed donuts, ice cream, and some good meals. Overall, this is a great house in a good location.

Nice House but Repairs and Cleaning Needed
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It’s a nice home. Seems freshly painted and generally in good repair. That said, it was very dirty when we arrived. The kitchen table had food and crumbs stuck to it (elbow grease needed to remove it). The kitchen counters had not been wiped down, the floors were filthy, the roll away bed sheets were full of sand. Coastal Joe was very responsive and offered to clean again but that was not convenient and should have been done before. The internet was out the entire trip. Our stay was over Thanksgiving so I get timing is bad but this should have been identified before we arrived. The kitchen sink garbage disposal/sink backed up and wouldn’t drain. Coastal Joe should inspect the properties closer before guests arrive. Also, the pest control folks came during our stay and were fast and friendly but they sprayed insecticide all down the hallway. Our child’s stuffed toy got wet with chemicals. This house did not have people in before or after our trip so perhaps the pest control can be scheduled when the house is vacant.

Firefly Review
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented the home for our first trip to Cape San Blas and were were pleased. We filled the house up as my children are all grown so there ended up being 9 of us but Firefly had a great setup and everyone was comfortable and there were enough full baths. I read some other reviews of it being dirty but we thought it was cleaned well and the location is great. Definitely a bit of a walk to the beach if you are carrying a load but it’s definitely walkable and worked out fine. We would rent it again for sure.

The house was as we expected, and the check in and check out process was easy and smooth. The WiFi was not very reliable, and the house could use some deep cleaning, but over all, it was neat and clean and just what we needed. We would gladly stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Went down to the Cape with two of my oldest friends and their wives and had the best time I've ever had in Florida, and I've been going since the 60s. The girls at Coastal Joe Vacation Rentals made the rental process easy as pie! Very attentive to our needs. They communicated very well and were a joy to work with. The accommodations were perfect. Everything you could possibly need was there. Very clean as well. Thanks to the Owners/Hosts for sharing their beautiful home with us. We will be back!
