Meet Your Host
Hi! We’re your hosts, Chris and Dodie Tidwell, and together with our three children, we’re truly delighted to host you at our beach home.
We’re from the peach state, Georgia. We first discovered Cape San Blas in 2020 while living full-time in our RV, and it was love at first sight. The pristine, uncrowded beaches, the untouched natural beauty, and the peaceful, laid-back atmosphere completely captured our hearts.
Just minutes away, the charming coastal town of Port St. Joe offers that historic Southern feel we adore — friendly faces, local shops, and a slower pace of life invites you to truly unwind.
We knew this was a place we wanted to one day put down roots — and share with others. That’s how our beach home was born: a welcoming space where families can gather, reconnect, and make lasting memories.
Whether you’re here for sunrise beach walks, shell collecting, fishing adventures, or simply relaxing with your toes in the sand, we hope you fall in love with this special area just like we did and that you enjoy your stay at our home away from home!
