Featured on HGTV as a prime vacation home, it is only a short stroll to the board walk (see third photo) leading to the private, pristine beach of Cape Dunes on Cape San Blas. The large 24'x20' outdoor deck has a new and well maintained six person hot tub, table and chairs, two loungers, and swing bed for the ultimate in relaxation. Inside, the spacious, open floor plan with fully equipped kitchen, dining area that seats eight, and comfortable bedrooms truly make this a home away from home. The master suite has king size bed with private bath, bedroom #2 has queen bed with bath, and bunk room sleeps four. 55" smart TV in living room and high speed internet will keep you closely connected to work, school, and the outside world, if you so choose.

Don't miss the beautiful sunset and one of a kind star-lit night!

This house warmly welcomes well-behaved dogs so bring your fur baby along- s/he deserves a nice vacation, too! (Please: dogs are required to be on tick and flea preventative, they are very prevalent in this area). Cape San Blas beaches are dog friendly! Our neighborhood provides a quiet road & nice walking paths. Please keep your dog on a leash, clean up after your pet, and limit any excessive barking. Two dog limit, no extra charge for two :)

1st Trip to Cape San Blas
We loved our stay at this cute beachy home. It was just like the pictures, Well decorated and very clean. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen out of all the places we have stayed. It’s very well laid out and spacious. We enjoyed the hot-tub every night under the stars. It’s in the perfect quiet location with quick access to the beach.

The best vacation house ever!
This beautiful beach house more than met our expectations! The decor was sedate and calming. The kitchen was well stocked -even the junk drawer did not disappoint! Tony and Lizzy thought of everything! The outdoor porch with bed swing and hot tub was a daily favorite. The beds were so comfy and the linens were perfect! Lizzy was quick to respond to any questions I had. My two grandsons (ages 4 and 15 months) had a wonderful time in the bunk room and loved playing there when they weren't at the beach. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Thanksgiving at the Beach
We had a great time here over Thanksgiving! 2 adults, 4 teens and our dog. Loved the location and being so close to the beach! We walked on the beach but enjoyed the bike path too and drove up the cape for ice cream! Thanks for a quiet getaway!

Why they chose this property

We have been vacationing in the area for years, Cape San Blas being our favorite.
There is something so special about the Cape: untouched beaches, beautiful nature & wild life, relaxing atmosphere, and of course, amazing seafood! It has been our dream to own a place on CSB, and in September of 2020, we were finally able to do it. There are some unique touches we have added since acquiring the house: dimmer switches on the first floor over-head light fixtures for a special ambiance, new and top quality linens, beach gear at the ready, and hand-crafted artwork throughout. Being beach house renters ourselves for many years, we took a few notes about what makes a memorable vacation and what we would do to improve the experience. We are excited to share our home and embark on this new journey!

What makes this property unique

We are committed to giving our guests a special, one of a kind beach house vacation. Cleanliness, modern comforts, and fun amenities are our top priorities. Our goal is to make sure everyone staying at Best of Times has a wonderful and memorable holiday on the Cape!
