North Cape Gem| Pool | Pet-Friendly| 3 Min Walk to Beach | Grill

Welcome to your coastal escape — a bright and breezy 3 bedroom, 2 bath, pet-friendly retreat where sunshine, relaxation, and laid-back beach living come together. Located in a quiet beach neighborhood, this home offers the best of both worlds: a private fenced pool overlooking breathtaking sunsets and quick access to the North Cape’s sugar-white sands.

Beach lovers rejoice! The neighborhood beach access shared by Swirly Sun Drive homes puts you on North Cape Beach in under 5 minutes — I make it in 3! Spend your days shelling, snorkeling, or wading in the gentle Gulf waves. Then head back for an evening dip in your private pool with sunset views you’ll remember long after your stay.

Inside, the home welcomes you with a spacious living room and an open kitchen that flows perfectly to the large covered porch — your favorite spot for morning coffee or poolside dining. All three bedrooms are thoughtfully decorated to give you that "you’re on vacation" feeling the moment you walk in.

And yes — bring your pups! (Pet friendly with a $150 fee for up to 2 dogs.)

Taking a short drive to historic Apalachicola

Enjoying Salinas Park’s playground, picnic spots, fire pit, and scenic boardwalk

Great home, despite Hurricane Helene!

My family and I had this home booked from Sunday night through Friday morning. We arrived and spent Monday enjoying the home and beach, but then Hurricane Helene led us to have to evacuate early on Tuesday. Despite this sad evening, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Three-Quarter Time. The home was clean and well-equipped, and the pool was great fun for the kiddo. It's also quite dog-friendly. The owner even provided dog bowls for our four-legged boys. We will definitely stay again!
