About this property

Baycation: Tranquil Bayfront Home, Private Pool, Pet-Friendly – Sleeps 10

"BAYCATION is a home designed with the vacationer in mind. From the massive expanse of porches and decks to the multiple gathering and seating areas, you will have no problem finding your spot in this home. Whether you want to play or relax, Baycation has what you need. Incredible Bay views await you from the upper and lower level front and back porches and decks furnished with a variety of comfortable seating, lounging, and dining areas. The private dock offers the ability to fish, kayak, or merely sit and enjoy the bay breeze. There is no better place to kayak on the Cape than in St. Joseph's Bay! For an afternoon of fun, the pool awaits. Cornhole or horseshoe enthusiast? Baycation has that too.

For the multi-family vacationers, Baycation offers two Primary King Bedrooms with bath so no need for drawing straws on who gets the big bedroom here! In addition, a third bedroom offers a Queen bed, then a fourth bedroom with a Queen bed and a Twin over Twin Bunk bed.

Baycation sports two separate gathering rooms with plenty of seating for relax or play. This house is anything but your typical rental home with basic furniture and pictures, for it is furnished with beautiful décor, much of it made locally, and equipped with top-notch and custom-made furniture, lighting, and bedding, so comfort and beauty await your stay. An interior *elevator will assist you with your luggage to each floor, but the beautiful open stairwell with cable railing begs the journey also. The kitchen is a home chef's dream, filled with everything you will need for preparing a week's worth of fabulous meals of local seafood or your favorite dishes. Outside is a gas grill and a pizza oven for a fun cooking adventure.

To assist in your adventure at Baycation, your reservation includes $300 worth of adventure gear rental. Whether your adventure is sitting under an umbrella on the white-sandy beaches, biking, or fishing from a kayak in the Bay, this $300 credit towards your vacation gear rental will ensure you have the adventure you seek. You will be able to shop for bikes, paddle boards, kayaks, beach chairs, umbrellas, or even beach carts. No need to find the rental company, your gear will be delivered to your beach house and will be waiting for your arrival.

Loved it!

This home was beautifully decorated, clean, and well-equipped. The owners have thought of everything. The layout of the house is perfect for families, the upstairs was especially nice for our adult children (and spouse) to have their own space. One of my favorite things was the large, screened porch - loved sitting out there having coffee and watching the sunrise! The dock was especially nice for fishing and accessing our kayaks/boats. The bay has a little bit of a beach at low tide and our dogs loved swimming there. We lacked for nothing - and Cape and Coast knocked it out of the park (again) with quick response to any questions or needs we had. We have rented homes managed by them for the past 10 years and they never disappoint.

Family Vacation

Baycation is a wonderful property. Everything you would need, and more, for a wonderful vacation. The property is extremely well looked after, modern and very clean. Unfortunately we had to move properties due to an electrical problem, but hope to be back.

Baycation - the perfect vacation!

Baycation is the most well-equipped, clean and beautiful VRBO property we have ever booked for a vacation! It is spacious, beautifully decorated, and the location is perfect. We were intrigued by all the wildlife we saw in the bay - sea turtles, dolphins, hermit crabs, blue crabs, clams with irridescent blue "eyes," fish, stingrays, interesting birds, and much more. When we wanted to see the ocean and be on the beach, it was just a short walk across the street. I have already recommended Baycation to several friends who are interested in a Florida vacation away from the usual beach crowds. We will definitely return to this property!

Perfection

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The bar is set unbelievably high now. Baycation had every single thing we could’ve wanted or needed for a month’s stay. We not only felt at home, we feel inspired to add some of their beautiful decor and smart organizational choices to our own home! The location is wonderful. We enjoyed breakfast watching the sunrise over the bay and cocktails at day’s end watching the sunset over the ocean. The beaches are pristine! Seashells and starfish adorn seemingly endless miles of powdery sand. We already miss Baycation so much we’re planning our return visit.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cape and Coast is by far the best rental company I have ever rented from. Service was outstanding and their representatives personable and responsive. Baycation is in my experience the MOST INCREDIBLE home I have ever rented...and I rent a home for my “birthday month” every year since retiring. The kitchen...wow. Every appliance you would ever need. And extremely well stocked. The furnishings were high end, including the decorations. But the best part...the decks! Again, every luxury you can (and can’t!) imagine. We even enjoyed the pool...in November. And for a retiree, loved the elevator. I cannot brag on this house enough. Nor could my guests. The best birthday month ever!

Baycation an EXCELLENT decision

Property was excellent and exactly as described. So much attention to detail in this home. Loved the privacy of the bay. Typically we stay on the ocean side but decided to try the bay, which was a great decision because of this amazing home and the fact that there was a red tide happening in the ocean side during our stay. Sunrise and sunsets were gorgeous from the decks on the back, fishing and kayaking from the dock was fun. Pool was perfect to relax and enjoy family time!!

Great family reunion property.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice property. Location is excellent. Scallops most abundant right off the dock. All the boats were coming over to dive right off the property. Wish the property would offer some water toys so you wouldn't need to rent them. Master showers are huge with rain showers. It would be nice to also have a hand held shower head.

Two Weeks in the Best House Ever!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed in many rental homes but this is the best one, hands down. It's obvious the owners care about the property and their guests. They have thought of everything. The kitchen is well stocked with lots of appliances and gadgets. I have never stayed in a house that had everything I needed. Having all of the lights labeled was also very helpful.. The mattress was the best I've slept on, even better than my Tempurpedic at home. The private dock provided hours of fun and relaxation. I spent a lot of time on the screened porch reading and enjoying the breeze. You will not be disappointed if you rent this lovely home. It exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home for two wonderful, carefree weeks. My husband and I had a fantastic time.

The Best Baycation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cape San Blas and Baycation were the best getaway for our family. The house was beautiful and so well stocked! Often times rentals homes are missing essential items, but not the case here...they thought of everything! Also, one of the few rentals that actually lives up to the photos provided. The view, the location, it was all fantastic. Cape San Blas offers a quiet, relaxing vacation. Definitely not your place if looking for lots of restaurants and shopping. For such a small area, there is plenty to do to keep you busy with the Bay, the Gulf, the bike path, National Park. We will definitely be back!

A lot of thought was put into the house itself, decor and amenities. Our party of 11 was extremely satisfied and would definitely stay here again. The bay views and sunrises were amazing and the beach was just a short distance away. Super laid back, non-touristy area. Highly recommend.

The multiple porches and decks gave us great outdoor options and the ability to “follow the sun” on cooler days. The only thing that would have made the house even better is heat in the pool.

Amazing get away from crowds and traffic

We arrived and just loved it! It smelled a new inside the elevator was awesome because you could send all your stuff upstairs. Cape San Blas is beautiful and NO traffic NO waiting for a table at the yummy Mexican joint in port st joe! Perfect for fishing just across the street is beach access. Omg there were biting flies on the beach for some reason and could not sit there so we were glad we had the pool!

Baycation means great vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented 4 previous homes at the Cape and Baycation was by far the best. The other homes were gulf front and this was our first stay on the bay. The home is beautiful. The owners have thought of everything a renter could need and provided it. Being on the bay offered great fishing, smooth water for kayaking, beautiful scenery and a short distance to the beach. Baycation will definitely be our first choice next time we visit Cape San Blas.
