Bathrooms are attractively tiled and feature two (2) bath tub/shower combinations, one (1) walk in shower and one (1) half bath.

A second bedroom has a king sized bed and also has French doors that open to the open deck. It shares a Jack and Jill bath with a tub shower that is directly across the hall. A third bedroom has custom queen over queen beds (sleeps 4), and it shares the jack and jill bath (tub shower combination).

A short walk to the beach, there is a dedicated board walk that puts you right on the beautiful white sandy beach. BEACH GEAR IS PROVIDED!!! We have plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys to choose from and a beach wagon provided for your use! So no need to pack that!!

An ample supply of bed linens and towels are included, as well as professional cleaning before and after each visitor.

Come enjoy Good Times & Tan Lines – have fun in the private pool, get sand between your toes on the secluded beaches, enjoy the shells and discover the turtle nests (but please do not disturb), take a bike ride, go fishing in the Gulf, scalloping in the bay, or just enjoy the sunshine around the pool while you grill a hamburger on the charcoal grill. You might even walk down to the nearby Trading Post and enjoy an ice cream or hot doughnuts (the hot fried croissants are to die for)!

Good Times & Tan Lines is definitely a place to totally relax. Enjoy, and take home lots of memories! 😎

Family Vacay 2025

What a great week at Good Times and Tan Lines beach house. Our party of 9 could not have asked for better home to stay at for our family vacation. We had 5 adults and 4 boys ages 10 y/o to 9 months old. The house was perfectly equipped with with toys, games, and toddler gear as described. We will definitely look to rent here again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family!

Relax and refresh

This is a very nice property. Well furnished with everything you need for that "feel at home" experience. Quiet setting and a very short walk to the clean and safe beach, great sunsets. The town of Cape San Blass has everything that you need. If you need more activity / commotion Panama City is a moderate drive away. The host, Teresa, is fantastic. Very communicative and extremely responsive We had a great time.

Wonderful family vacation!

First time back to the cape in several years and it did not disappoint! This beautiful property has everything you could need and more! This is probably the most well stocked rental we have stayed at and my daughter absolutely loved all the toys available to her to play with. Kids also loved the pool and everyone raved about the comfort of the beds! Spacious, clean, beautiful and convenient to all of our favorite places. Also quick and easy access to the beautiful beach. Would definitely stay here again!!!

Great house! Great location!

We enjoyed our stay in your home while visiting Cape San Blas for the first time. The home was beautifully decorated and we loved the large living/dining/kitchen area. Perfect floor plan for a large group. The kitchen was more than sufficiently supplied with everything you need to cook a great meal. We took full advantage of the screened porch while watching the magnificent sunsets every evening. Would most definitely stay again.

Peaceful Getaway

We traveled to Cape San Blas/Port St Joe area for the first time. We picked this place because it looked nice, had a private pool and a close walk to the beach. It was everything as expected when we arrived. Plenty of space for a family of 4 and in-law parents. My kids loved that they had their own tv in their rooms lol. My favorite spot was the screen in deck relaxing on the chaise couch with a beautiful view of the ocean. She had toys, chairs, umbrella, pool/beach towels readily available. Close walk to the beach in a secluded area. Other vacationer were there as well and our kids made new friends. We will come back again.

Great relaxing get away

This was our first time to the Cape area and the house was in a perfect location. The purpose of this trip was to celebrate my daughter’s 12th birthday swimming and relaxing. There were plenty of food options within 20 minutes and they weren’t as busy compared to other cities in Florida. It was nice having access to the beach right in the back yard. Even though the waves were super strong, we made the best of it: took the boogie boards out and enjoyed time on the beach. The rooms were spacious and the house was fully equipped with all things you need to enjoy the beach! The saltwater pool and three season porch was also amazing to have! Watching the sunset from the end of the dock/walk way was amazing. Overall, great clean house with awesome amenities. We will definitely consider coming back!

This house has everything

The property is very well supplied with everything you need. You don't need to load up chairs, beach toys or much of anything. The description does not cover all the items that the house is supplied with. We were well surprised and enjoyed our week without having to run to store to buy anything but food. The house is everything the description says. The ground level bedroom and bath are nice for older folks that can't do stairs well.

Five Stars at Cape San Blas

Everything is great!!! Definitely 5 stars!!! We really enjoyed having the beverage refrigerator. This is a huge plus to keep all those drinks cold. Then, having the outside shower was another big plus. Then, to top it off, you not only added the new queen set of bunk beds upstairs, but put a king bed in the bedroom on the lower level. The beach is so close to your house we couldn’t ask for a better location. Then, at the end of a long day at the beach coming back to relax in the pool while everyone starts taking showers and getting dinner ready, makes for a wonderful vacation. As you know, we stayed here last year and have already booked it for next July. We’re looking forward to coming back many years into the future."

another perfect holiday

We have rented this house in past for a Christmas week vacation, this time we did an Easter holiday week. It is perfect for children and adults. It took about 5 min to find Barbie dolls, books and blocks .Many beach toys and special shovels that made a beach trip daily. The house is just as fresh and clean as when we stayed more than a year ago. Beds are all comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with pots, pans, bowls, dishes. Dinning room table is kid friendly and great spot for arts and crafts. My favorite spot is the screened porch off the living area. Bathrooms on each level . The pool was great and very well cared for. Perfect spot for multi generation vacation. Short walk to beach. and 9 min walk to general store if you are missing anything.

Awesome Vacation

We had an absolute blast staying at this beach home for spring break. Everything was fully stocked and well taken care of. Any and every kitchen supply that we needed was available, there was more sleeping than was originally listed so that was a plus for us (we found a cot in the downstairs closet), and the games provided were fantastic. The amount of outdoor seating on the two decks as well as around the pool were great for us - especially early in the morning for those wanting to enjoy their coffee while watching the waves. Our group loved how close the house was to the beach - which was beautiful!! We appreciated how Cape San Blas was a relatively quiet beach, but everyone on the beach was so friendly, and the locals were especially willing to let us in on good restaurants and shops to visit near the beach, as well as share their fish tales with us! The owners were very prompt in responding to any questions we had before the trip and wanted to make sure everything was in great shape when we arrived - which it was! We will definitely keep this home in mind for our next vacation! :)

Great house for families!

Beach house is great. Just a few steps to the beach. Has water views from both main and upper floors. Private pool was nice as well- it’s small but actually bigger than most of the private pools on the Cape. The house is nearby multiple other houses, so expect not to have the beach to yourself. However we were never crowded. The house is short walk to the ice cream shop and convenience stores. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes/pots/appliances. The living room and kitchen are large and we were comfortable with all 10 of us in there. The bathrooms are tiny, but who cares- you didn’t rent a beach house to have a luxurious bath. There are 3.5 baths, but one is jack/Jill, so there are 5 toilets/sinks. Internet is iffy- it’s satellite, but I could also get a couple of bars of ATT cell service. But once again- we didn’t come to this gorgeous beach to stare at our devices. Property manager quickly responded to all my questions. We loved this house and hope to return again!

Why they chose this property

Cape San Blas is the epitome of the perfect beach - never crowded, beautiful water and sand, gulf and the bay, and all provide a great opportunity to enjoy nature at its finest. Occasional dolphin sightings and sea turtle nests add interest to our visits. The sand is especially easy for walking.
