About this property

'Coy T by the Sea' Gulf Front Florida Beach House

Enjoy the beautiful sunsets from the open upper deck or the lower covered deck and watch dolphins frolic in the ocean waves. Cape San Blas is still one of the last secluded beaches in Florida, but only minutes from shopping and restaurants. The beach is wide and filled with shells. You will enjoy watching the pelicans gliding over your head and the shore birds scampering in the surf looking for their next meal. At night the sky is black and you will see more stars than you ever thought imaginable.

Coy T. by the Sea is filled with windows so you can enjoy the view from practically every room in this Gulf front home. Come and enjoy this spacious beach house with only sand and water in front of you. All you need to do when you walk through the door is start having fun.

Calming colors greet you as you enter the home. The kitchen with granite counter tops is well stocked. There is a wet bar with a free standing ice machine to fuel cocktail hour or to fill a cooler for a day on the beach.

The great room features tile flooring, comfy couches and lots of seating for movie watching or just relaxing. You have a view of the gulf from every seat. There is Smart TV so bring your account passwords for digital tv and music. Internet connectivity for checking your social media or just browsing the web and 170+ cable channels.

Just off the main living is a full bath with a shower and laundry. You can enter and exit to the beach through this bath for added convenience.

The main floor has a two-room Master Suite, complete with a comfy king-sized bed. It has it's own sitting room, which is separated by barn doors and has a queen sleeper sofa with tv and access to the screened porch. There is a small desk for any work you may bring with you. This room offer sweeping views of the gulf and has a full private bath. When you enter the suite you have your bath to the left and your king bed to the right. This layout is great for a family who needs extra sleeping quarters or for couples who want to gather with friends or family and then retire to their own rooms for some private time.

Upstairs you will find a second suite with a similar layout - This is our beach front, two-room Family Suite. This bedroom has a king bed and a full private bath. Double barn doors offer privacy to an attached bunk room perfect for up to four additional guests. The bunk room has a twin over full bed with a trundle and has a smart TV perfect for movie time. This suite also has a private deck.

The newly redecorated third bedroom features a queen bed and has both bay and gulf views. It has it's own private bath as well and also has a tv with cable. Feel free to offer name suggestions for the fun shark decor hanging in this room. (our daughter calls him Rico :) )

The beach is a short boardwalk away and the private outdoor shower or hose will rinse the sand and sun away. You can also enter the house through the laundry room, which allows for great bathroom access during your day at the beach.

Come to 'Coy T by the Sea' and seek your still, quiet bliss.

Coy T

The interior of the house description was accurate. There was popcorn in the seams of the couch and on the coffee table and food debris under the couch. The exterior was very shabby-especially the damaged side. The driveway had debris including nails and pieces of debris from the exposed side of the building. We killed a cockroach. I was disappointed in the overall exterior condition-need for clean-up and paint.

The home layout was wonderful, plenty of space for the teens to hang out when they wanted their alone time. Beds were comfy, bathrooms for everyone. And the wet bar was the best thing ever with the ice machine… kitchen was well stocked, just needs a crock pot And a ceiling fan on the screen porch. We have a marvelous time with our whole family

Third time here and better than ever

We love coming back to this house. It suits our family perfectly - lots of room to gather for meals or TV. The suite upstairs accommodates our daughter and her family (children 2 and 4). Downstairs primary bedroom is ours. That leaves a third bedroom if other family members are able to join us. The best stocked kitchen we have ever encountered and that’s a big deal for our family who loves to cook. This stretch of the beach is not crowded and is plenty wide enough to set up our canopy for the day. There is not a great deal of change from low to high tide. Last but not least Robin is wonderful to work with. Responsive and considerate, you could not ask for a better host.

The property was great. Great location for our family. We like a place with beach access and not a lot of people. This property was great for both. We recommend it and will most likely visit this area again.

Great time!

We had a great stay at Coy T by the sea. It was our family of 6 (2 adults and 4 kids under 8 years old) and two sets of grandparents. We were celebrating a birthday and the 4th of July. We had a wonderful time together sitting on the screened in porch drinking coffee, hanging out at the beach, and making dinners together. We had everything we needed for a comfortable visit, and plenty of space for everyone. I loved the sunroom downstairs! It would be nice if the boardwalk went all the way to the beach, but it was still a relatively easy walk. We loved the home, and we would feel blessed to be able to visit again.

Beautiful spacious house on the beach!

This house is exactly as described in the listing. Lots of room for family to spend time together with plenty of seating options that offer views of the gulf. Property owner was very courteous and even provided a gift for visitors which was a 1st for us with VRBO rentals. Easy and convenient beach access via wooden boardwalk to an uncrowded beach. Already planning our next trip here.

Happy Place

CoyT provided everything I look for in a rental- great location, well supplied kitchen and comfortable sleeping. Also the host was easy to contact with issues during our stay. My favorite was the "reading room" - a place to sit and watch the gulf on chilly/windy days.

Wonderful Family Vacation

The house was beautiful and well equipped for all our needs. We had good weather except for rain one Wednesday but the girls still enjoyed horseback riding on the beach that evening. We only saw 2 other groups during our stay so it was like our own private beach. Our hosts were responsive to our questions and so friendly. Would definitely recommend Coy T by the Sea.

Wonderful family vacation!

I am so pleased with our stay at Coy T! The house was perfect. Just as listed and had everything we needed. A lot of little details that were so nice. Love the location and the beach was beautiful. It was a great house for my whole family. The kids loved the bunk beds and it felt really spacious for all of us to have our own space. I would go back again in a heartbeat!

About the host

Hosted by Robin Lunsford

Host profile image
Lunsford Party of 3 - myself, husband Rick and daughter Tatum currently reside in Georgia on a small family farm east of Atlanta. While we would love to spend more time on the Cape, life seems to keep us busy here in Georgia. In our spare time, we love a good home project, activities such as golf and tennis, and SEC football! (I say "Go Dawgs"! My hubby, a UT grad, dances to the tune of "good 'ole Rocky Top")

Why they chose this property

My husband and I decided to purchase this home because we wanted to be able to share the Cape and what it means to us with our friends and family. Originally growing up visiting the beaches of Panama City, this gulf girl fell in love with the quiet quaintness of the Cape when my family began vacationing here about ten years ago. Since then, we have grown to love spending time here unwinding from the real world as it spoils us with its serenity.

What makes this property unique

The name "Coy T by the Sea" gets its roots from four generations and patriarch of my family. My younger sister first coined the phrase "Coy T" , which means 'still, quiet woods,' when she named her Oklahoma ranch after our father, the man who has taught us the strong sense of family to which we hold so dear. She has since purchased an adjoining property that is host to a unique, one hundred year old cabin and beckons the call to guests as well.
We hope you will come experience our 'still, quiet beach home;' and if you ever head west to Pawhuska, Oklahoma (home of Ree Drummond, the Pioneer Woman), please consider staying a spell at "The Cabin on the Coy T."
