Property Description

Bayrock 1 is the perfect home for those who appreciate the natural beauty of the bay, want tranquility and privacy but still want to walk to the beach Bayrock 1 is right for you. Manatees, starfish, seahorses, dolphins, bobcats, otters, ducks, eagles, ospreys, and deer have been viewed on property or from the dock. Public swimming pool available at Rish Beach Park across the street. Boat launch at state park a mile from property. Pickleball courts and volleyball at nearby park. If you are interested in booking for more than one month in the Winter call me. Please inquire after viewing my youtube videos to see if Bayrock 1 suits your needs. For those interested in a video perspective of the home visit youtube and search for Bayrock 1 on Cape San Blas Florida. The fishing has been unusually good or give me a ring (seven, eight, five, two, six, two, nine, four, three, six) Scalloping wise the seasons have been abbreviated but prolific likely due to less harvesting pressure. Fishing is quite favorable. Try your skill fly fishing in 3 ft of water for redfish.

The home is 50 feet from the edge of the bay with a beach access park directly across the street 400 yards from the home. The storm took out the row of town homes across the street so now the beach is very spacious.

Inside are new furnishing including tournament quality billiard table, internet streaming for viewing netflix and other internet services on upstairs and downstairs TVs, patio furniture seating for 8 persons on the screened porch, new living area sofa, wicker recliner, and an elevated game table with four raised chairs ideal for cards and board games. Play pool, ping pong, basketball, bike ride, fish from the dock, play cards, board games, enjoy surround sound stereo using your phone connected to stereo or stream from the wireless internet. The home has central heat and air and plenty of room to spread out. Most people comment on how cool the home is when they first enter. 400 yards from the home are expansive sugar white sands of Cape San Blas Beach. Enjoy the sunrise over the bay and watch the sunset on the beach. The stars are exceptionally bright when viewed from the back deck of the home. My favorite nightscape is the full moon rising over the bay. Linens and towels are provided so send an email to book the home or ring me.

The bay is viewable from each bed in the house. A 500 ft dock is a few steps from the home. A managed pristine environment of live oaks, palms, sea oats and sago palms surround the home.

2 upstairs bedrooms have king size beds and one with twin bed. 2 bedrooms downstairs one with 2 double beds. The other has the walk in shower and king bed. Each bedroom has a private bathroom with shower. To see more video of the home and the surrounding area visit search youtube for Bayrock 1.

The main floor living area has TV and roku. Attached to the main floor living room is a large kitchen with stove, oven, counter top oven, full size frig with ice maker, microwave, dishwasher, blender, toaster, coffee maker, pots, pans, cups silverware and cooking utensils. Off of the kitchen is a screened porch with patio table and 8 chairs. The washer and dryer are hidden away on the screened porch. A large handicap accessible shower is located on the main floor. The home is unique in that there are no steps from your car into the home. The Grandparents can stay on the ground floor and not have to navigate any steps.

There is parking for 3 vehicles. Boat trailers can be parked close to the property entrance on a private paved road set aside for trailer parking.

The home is a monolithic concrete dome. The concrete adds extra protection and energy efficiency. Amenities include wifi, tv, stereo, central heat and air conditioning. Upstairs has the entertainment area with billiard table. On the back porch overlooking the bay is a ping pong table and patio table with seating for 4. A propane fireplace is located on the main floor great for long winter nights.

Bring a boat or kayak for scalloping, fishing and recreation. If no boat plenty of fish can still be caught from the dock. Try throwing a cast netting for mullet from the dock. A favorite activity is spear or bow fishing for mullet as they swim under the dock. Floundering by night or day is an activity for those seeking some adventure. Depending on time of year an eagle or bobcat may be spotted close to the home.

The Bayrock experience is serene, peaceful and private. Here birds are singing, bikes can be ridden on the 12 mile bike path, snorkeling in the bay for scallops, windsurf in the bay and shelling on the beaches.

Golf and Pickle Ball courts are a short drive away at St Joe Country Club and beginning of Cape Road. Horseback riding on the beach starts at the beginning of the cape Road. Freshwater fishing is a 30 minute drive at Lake Wimico via depot creek or white city.

The cape bike path runs into the St Joseph State Park from the beginning of the cape road about 12 miles.

Pleasant Days and Blissful Nights at Bayrock 1
We have traveled to the Panhandle area of Florida for years. We started out in the Destin area and have gradually moved Eastward. Cape San Blas reminds us of all the reasons we travel to Florida. The area is still quaint and unspoiled. The people are friendly and traffic is non existent in the winter months. Bayrock 1 suited us like a warm blanket on a chilly night. The home is large and spacious with plenty of light. It overlooks the St Joe Bay with plenty of wildlife in the area. We saw deer, eagles, hawks and heard several owls in the evening hours. We loved how bright the stars are at night. We liked our walk to the beach across the street. Bayrock 1 has all the basics we required including high speed internet. Mick was there to greet us and available if we needed any help. We left relaxed and energized. We look forward to our return trip to Cape San Blas and will not hesitate to book Bayrock 1 again.

Bayrock 1 Retreat
The guys and I were looking for a getaway from all the stress life can bring. We found our perfect retreat at Bayrock 1. We didn't arrive until late the 1st night due to weather delaying travel but Mick was there to greet us and get us settled in. We hit the beds hard but I can't remember the last time I had such a peacful nights sleep. We awoke the next morning to sunshine and ocean breezes. We spent the next few days touring the island, fishing off the pier right out the back door, swimming in the Gulf of Mexico and just kicking back. At night we threw back a couple of beers, cooked on the grill and swaped stories of our youth. There were pool games and music playing through out the nights. Mick hooked us up with a local fishing guide and we tore em up! The guide knew the bay honey holes and we limited out on sea trout. The guide cleaned and bagged the fish for us. Man they were good fresh off the grill and we had some to take back home to the wives and kids! All in all the guys agreed we had a great retreat that was relaxing and we will definetly be back.

Bayrock 1 Spectacular views and virtual serenity!
We arrived late in the evening, Mick was already there. As a member of his community for more than 20 years he was most helpful with his insights, he was genuinely concerned about us, and expressed a deep interest in our complete satisfaction. We were a bit weary from the trip but overwhelmed by the amenities and freshness of our vacation home. The kids were so excited they could hardly sleep! Whether you are a family looking for adventure or relaxation, a group retreat, or friends looking to connect or reconnect we truly found a hidden treasure here. We found a place that was safe, secluded and certainly not over crowded. Mick provided a fishing guide (with over 30 years experience) for a very reasonable price. We caught our limit. I love to fish but don't often get to go so I brought my trusty zebco 202 ( The Pinto of fishing rods). I was practicing my casts on the pier and hooked into a bunch of redfish, one of which broke the line. As a Chef I enjoyed working in the nicely equipped open kitchen preparing fresh redfish and the blue crabs that we had also caught. My daughter collected as many sea shells as she could carry off from the white sandy beaches. My wife enjoyed reading on the deck overlooking the ocean. In the evenings we relaxed in the hot tub, played pool and ping pong, or just took things easy.We wrapped up the trip by cruising the oceans waters and observed dolphins, sea turtles, bald eagles, horseshoe crabs, herons and many species of wildlife. Our plans include atleast one visit annually that left us feeling refreshed and energized!

We came for the unique building and superb location--and stayed for Hurricane Michael!
If you want an ordinary vacation, go to a condo or traditional beach house. If you want a memorable experience, this is the pace for you. The monolithic concrete dome is located on high ground above the bay. We arrived late Saturday and Sunday had caught our first big red fish. We also got the word that Hurricane Michael was inbound to arrive Wednesday. Everybody started evacuating. But why leave the strongest structure you know of to go to a weaker structure somewhere else? We decided to stay and have no regrets. We experienced the great storm as it approached and as the strongest part of the eye wall passed over. We saw the water blown out of the bay down to bare mud flats and then rush back in to 12 feet higher than normal. The next morning I was again catching red fish off the dock! No city water and no power? No problem because Mich is the greatest owner imaginable. He too had stayed in his adjacent dome home and immediately got on fixing damage and making sure we had everything we needed to survive in style. Red fish and shrimp gumbo coked over an open fire were our staples. Post storm the weather was perfect and we were thrilled to watch the wildlife including butterflies, doves, pelicans, seagulls, herons, ospreys, bald eagles and squirrels, get right back to living their lives. You may not get the hurricane with most visits but you are certain to get Mick and a unique and memorable vacation experience if you choose Bayrock 1.

Fantastic place
Not only is the whole Cape area gorgeous, but it's also not crowded. The house is spacious and solid. Kitchen was well stocked with pans and ample storage. Rooms are enormous, with plenty of accessibility.

September 2020 rental review
Property interior was clean and spacious. Exterior grounds need a little tlc, but nothing a weedeater and mulch could'nt fix. Has lots of screened in porch space too. House was very comfortable, lots of natural lighting.. All appliances were in good working order. We did have the misfortune of having to shelter in place during a hurricane, This house is tough! She stood the storm. She had a few leaks from the driving wind/rain but I am sure she will be a great place to stay after repairs. The house is tucked away on the bay with great views and about 2.5-3 blocks to the beach. There is a little public beach access with bathrooms and covered areas across the street. Even with the storm we had a good time and felt safe in the house. The owner was on site and very courteous.

Hidden Getaway
This was our first vacation since forever. It was a hidden gem. We felt like we were in our own little get away. Check in and out was easy. We enjoyed having our privacy. Great space to be together and still spread out the group.

all the wildlife!!
I went to Bayrock 1 with my elderly father, adult brother, his girlfriend, my husband and four children (ages 19, 16, 9, and 9). The children all thought there should have been more information on the wildlife as a selling point. They caught and released frogs and lizards daily, actually multiple times a day. We saw during our stay multiple sting rays, a couple of horse shoe crabs, a large spider crab and multiple snails and hermit crabs but the highlight of our trip was seeing an ovation otter frolicking in our driveway. We thought the house was great for our family but we are a critter loving set. If you aren't coming to the area to see wildlife, this might not be the house for you because the natural setting is definitely the highlight.
