Our Tern: 4th of July week now available as a Friday or Saturday check in!

Discover Our Tern, a refined beachside retreat tucked away in the Secluded Dunes of Cape San Blas, Florida. This contemporary coastal home offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and natural beauty, set along one of the few stretches of beach in the area that has not been dramatically impacted by erosion.

Paradise

We had a wonderful vacation, in spite of hurricane Idalia. We had to leave for a few days but we were so grateful it missed the Island and we were able to return. It wasn't as remote as I thought it would be and the restaurants were great. We can't wait to return!
