About this property

Family Tides: 3 BR, 2 BA House in Caplen, Sleeps 11

This beachfront, 3 bedroom, 2 bath house is located in the quiet Caplen area. You couldn't ask for better views of the Gulf of Mexico and the beach from the furnished deck! Step outside and start your mornings on the deck (covered and uncovered areas), perfect for a cup of coffee. You're also just a moment away from putting your toes in the sand, by foot or vehicle on the convenient beach access road.

The cozy, family-friendly living area has plenty of seating and a wood burning fireplace. There is a large television, and high speed internet for your streaming needs. There is a dining table with seating for meals and games, and the island offers even more seating. The kitchen is stocked with everything you would need to make the perfect meals while on vacation, including a Keurig coffee maker. For your convenience, you'll also find a washer and dryer on-site.

With 1800 square feet, Family Tides easily sleeps 11. The primary bedroom has a king bed with an ensuite bathroom; the second bedroom has one queen bed and one twin over full bunk bed, and the third bedroom has a king bed. There is also additional sleeping on the queen sleeper sofa.

On the ground level under the house, there is plenty of room to gather in the shade and enjoy the company of family and friends. This property has plenty of parking, and a charcoal grill. Make family memories at Family Tides!

I love this house!

Amazing home with fabulous views! The only need for improvement is the windows were very dirty and the blinds were in need of replacement. Very minor issue. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat!

Amazing getaway from crowds & beautiful view

Beautiful home with an amazing view. Plenty of space for everyone in the home & yard space with beach access right next to it! Perfect for my Jeep rides on the beach! When we arrived the water was turned off , they had someone out almost immediately as we went to walk the beach and came back to have it all ready! Beautiful views on the front porch. Neighbors all really kind. We’ll certainly be back. Temps during march were 56-75. But still perfect for us getting away from snow :)

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: I am tempted to give this place a bad THAT IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR ME YEAR AROUND! My family and I visit here every years. We love it! We don't even consider other places to stay. Perfect view and cozy comfort. I'm out of shape but I can still race my kids to the beach, that's how close it is! And there is nothing to obscure the view. The balcony has a brand new addition so there is plenty of space for activities. Lots of room inside with full amenities. Go for it, you won't be dissatisfied, I promise!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We fell in love with this rental! The location was awesome!! Swede's employees were very helpful. This is my first time to rent from Swede's.I was a little disappointed with the cleanliness, though. We noticed dust and dirt that had accumulated behind tables,a large dead roach beside the refrigerator and a large dog bone in one of the bunk beds, even though the rental agreement stated No Pets! Over all, we will definitely rent this cabin again, and definitely rent from Swede's again!

Summer vacation 2022

We had a great time. The house is in a perfect location. Swede's rentals people were kind and helpful. We sat on the balcony and watched the sunset. Woke up the next morning and enjoyed coffee with my husband on the balcony as well. The kids n I enjoyed the water and beachcombing. We rented a beach buggy and took turns riding and looking. Overall it was awesome. I would highly recommend this beach house. Made a lot of good memories for years to come. Looking forward to doing it again next year.
