DETAILS: Lion's Paw—named after the hard-to-find seashell—is a beautiful 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home that sleeps 8 in the North Cape community of Cape San Blas. With Gulf and Bay access, this pet-friendly retreat is less than 100 yards away from the nearest community boardwalk that leads to both the community pool and the dog-friendly beaches of Cape San Blas. This home includes 2 inviting porches, a patio area with a grill and picnic table, a reading nook, and more.
Inside this custom-built, professionally decorated 2-story home, guests are greeted with a large front porch and 3 sets of French doors that open to the first-floor great room. The open living space boasts tall ceilings, hardwood floors, and plush furnishings facing a large TV and fireplace(not for guest use). The well-appointed kitchen has high-end appliances, spacious granite countertops, and a sizeable island that doubles as a 4-stool breakfast bar—cooking has never been easier! Gather around the traditional dining table that seats 6 on rattan chairs while enjoying neighborhood views from the surrounding picture windows. With multiple doors leading out to the screened-in back porch, there are plenty of options for enjoying the natural setting, including ample seating and a bar table on the porch, as well as a patio area below with Adirondack seating, a picnic table, a propane grill—and even an outdoor shower. Both first-floor guest bedrooms feature king beds and French doors that open onto the back porch, allowing for sunset views over the dunes. There's also a laundry room to keep swim gear fresh and clean.
Escape to the tranquil second-floor landing with a cozy reading nook and a dedicated workspace. Subtle design elements in Lion’s Paw pay homage to the timeless 1946 Florida children's classic by the same name, written by Robb White, including the beautifully inlaid compass flooring that mimics the children finding their way throughout the book. Charming! Also, discover 2 spacious bedrooms on this floor—one has a king bed and the other has 2 twin beds.
With more than 2,000 square feet of living space, Lion's Paw is perfect for friends and family. Adjacent to St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, on-site parking for 3 vehicles makes it easy to explore the area.

Lion's Paw was a lovely and cozy place to call home for the week on this year's annual trip to Cape San Blas. We were able to fully obtain some much needed rest and relaxation. The interior was nicely laid out and clean. It quite literally had every furnishing you could think of. We brought along our crockpot and a mini keurig machine only to discover that both were already provided for. No worries although we could have saved on packing space. Aside from sun bathing out on the front porch during the day, our pups thoroughly enjoyed sunrise and sunset walks along the beach which is within easy walking distance. We were extremely blessed to squeeze in the week after a small tropical storm and the week before Hurricane Helene.

Lion’s Paw was beautifully furnished and clean. We especially liked the two ground-floor master bedrooms and the location with it’s proximity to St. Joe Park. The only drawback for me was the boardwalk to the beach. Lots of steps, so if you’re loaded with beach things, it may be difficult. The steps downward to the beach were too steep for me. The pool was a plus…just too cold during our week.

We appreciate your taking the time to let us know about your stay at Lion's Paw. It's lovely to hear the home had the layout and location you wanted. Hopefully, it'll be warm enough during your next visit to utilize the pool. We hope to see you back in Cape San Blas again soon!
