Donsol Oceanfront Beach House

Summary:
NEW 2023 CONSTRUCTION! ELEVATED POOL WITH OCEANFRONT VIEWS!

With two large decks overlooking the Gulf, your own private pool, and the sugar sand beach and clear blue water just feet away, Donsol Beach House is the perfect vacation spot in the Villa del Sol subdivision. This 3,300 square foot 5 bedroom 5 bath vacation home with an elevated pool and elevator was built in 2023 in a lovely private gated subdivision.

Donsol truly captures the essence of all things coastal. You will be greeted with a large, open concept living and kitchen space boasting spectacular Gulf views. Take a step through the back doors facing the ocean to find yourself in the peaceful, breezy surroundings with an amazing, unhindered view of the Gulf and your own private elevated swimming pool. Back inside, the dining and kitchen area has beautiful hardwood floors, modern amenities, and a kitchen featuring a large island, appliances, and quartz countertops. The comfortable, roomy living space is the ultimate gathering spot for entertaining and making memories with friends and family.

The first floor has a 1 bay view master suite with a king bed and attached private bathroom along with a bay view master bedroom with king bed. On the second floor, there are two Oceanfront master suite bedrooms with king beds and attached bathrooms, and a charming bunk room with 3 bunks and a full bathroom. The most inviting aspect of the second floor is that two of the bedrooms have access to its large deck overlooking the Gulf, while the bunk room has views of the bay.

Walk down your own boardwalk from your coastal home and you’ll find yourself on the miles and miles of sugar-white sand and pristine blue water of the Gulf of Mexico. Whether you enjoy combing the beach for shells, snorkeling, kayaking, sunbathing, surfing waves, fishing, or taking a leisurely stroll or horseback rides along the shoreline, you’ll spend hours of fun while soaking up the sun. Venture out to enjoy shopping, galleries, entertainment, and restaurants in the quaint downtown of Port St. Joe located only 15 minutes away. Visit the historic lighthouse, visit the shops, have lunch or dinner, or take the ferry over to St. Vincent Island for the day. For the fishing enthusiast, launch your boat at the nearby Indian Pass boat ramp and take in some first-class fishing, or book your family on a fishing charter for a day trip out on the water to catch your dinner for the night. When you want to experience the beauty of St. Joseph Bay, visit nearby Salinas Park with a playground, picnic table, fire pit, and boardwalk over the serene water. You can even get in some exercise by walking, running, or biking on the 19-mile paved trail. About 25 miles away is the quaint, historical, fishing community of Apalachicola. Apalach is perfect for a day trip to do a little shopping, stroll along the Apalachicola River, or grab some of the best seafood around!

Beautiful!
We stayed 4 nights at Donsol during our fall break and had a great time! The view was amazing. We mostly enjoyed spending time in the pool and being able to see the gulf! So cool. Thank you Marissa!

Amazing!
We have a large family of mainly couples and this house was PERFECT. We have traveled to other beaches in past years and none of our experiences topped this house. Having a private boardwalk was a game changer and made traveling to the beach so easy with an infant. Also, it’s so difficult to find beach houses that accommodate everyone in the family, and the fact that all of the rooms had king beds was perfect! The host was so accommodating and helpful with all of our questions and she really made the whole process so easy for us. We truly did not want to leave this beach house but already have plans to return next year!

Family Time Away
We had a wonderful vacation. The home was lovely, very clean, great location, and the neighborhood was extremely peaceful and quiet. The pool was wonderful! We absolutely loved the town, We had issues with the elevator not working on several days of the vacation, but I called Marissa and she sent a contractor to the home to fix it it, and he was very helpful and friendly! This is an A+ property and we would definitely stay here again!!!

Best beach trip ever
My family and my grandsons friends recently stayed at the Donsol House in Cape San Blass. This was the perfect place for our group. The house was gorgeous and very nice beach and private pool. The adults and teens all enjoyed the stay. The best experience ever with the property manager. She was very responsive to all our questions and always friendly and helpful. We will visit again!

Family Beach Vacation
We had a great time at the house! Two families with 7 kids. Lots of room and each room has a bathroom. The bunk room is so big and has lots of beds. All the kids stayed in the bunk room and we did not need to use the 2 beds downstairs for sleeping but it was nice to have the 2 bathrooms downstairs. Having our own pool on the deck was the best! We had our own private walkway to the beach and an outdoor shower for cleaning off when we returned. Well stocked kitchen. Also really nice to have covered parking in all the heat. And an elevator, so no need to carry suitcases or groceries up any stairs. Just load the elevator and send it up. There were nice beach chairs and umbrellas for use. The beach is clean and quieter area which we really enjoyed. There are still enough restaurants and stores nearby for when you do want to go out. We also enjoyed spending a day out on the bay. The only hard thing was the door alarm since we didn’t need it. It’s required for the area but, if I had littles to keep up with it would have been very nice to have. It does have a button to press to disarm it when opening the door we just didn’t always remember. The owner was also quick to respond to any questions. Overall, great stay and would highly recommend!
