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. Josephs 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 master 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 sleeping 4 in a twin-over twin bunk and a full-size 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 $250 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 $250 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.

This is the second time we’ve been privileged to stay at Baycation and have marveled over every detail and need provided to make our stay comfortable and memorable. We appreciate allowing our 2 dogs to share it with us. I don’t think another house could have been more accommodating.

Perfection
by Antoinette A.
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.

Nirvana
by Lynn D.
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!

Great family reunion property.
by Michael S.
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.
It is so wonderful to hear you and your family had such an amazing time at Baycation, Michael! We will pass on the recommendations about the water toys and shower head to the homeowner! We look forward to seeing you all again soon!

Two Weeks in the Best House Ever!
by Theresa B.
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.

Spring Break 2021
by jennifer hoppe
Wonderful home, great location, more than enough room for 6 adults and 4 kids/teens - having two living room areas was great, allowed for together-ness/famly time and separation when desired! as previously stated the home is well equiped with all the kitchen gadgets one could ever need. Better than my kitchen, that is for sure!!

The Best Baycation
by Kellie Sadens
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!

Spring Break at Baycation
by Tracy Nichols
This house was amazing...5 stars plus. This was the nicest rental I have ever stayed in. It was super clean and well maintained. 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.

Perfect pandemic retreat!
by Shelly Stanfield
We had a great time at Baycation. The house is gorgeous...beautifully decorated and supplied with everything you could possibly wish for. The owners have really put their hearts into making everything so spectacular for their guests.We also loved the peaceful setting surrounded by nature, with only one close neighbor. The screened porches, decks, and the dock fantastic. The Bay is so beautiful and fun and the house is just a short distance to the the beaches on the Gulf. This was our third vacation rental with Cape and Coast and they were awesome, as usual!

Perfect!
by Patricia Sterling
We have been vacationing in Cape San Blas for over 20 years. Baycation exceeds all other rentals in every way! Other than being beautiful, the many decks and sitting areas were perfect for multiple families...all with a spectacular view! The kitchen was wonderful, stocked with everything you could possibly need! We also enjoyed the wet bar on the second level! Thank you for designing a perfect rental house!

Vacation at Baycation July 2020
by LaDona Green
Our family of 12 enjoyed our stay in Baycation. All said this was the nicest house we had ever rented. Everything about the house was exceptional. Best stocked house with all the amenities in the kitchen. We ate all meals in and it was wonderful. The sunrise was absolutely beautiful over the bay. We loved being able to spend time in the bay, on the beach, and the pool. You have a great place. We hope to return

Perfect house, and Awesome week!

We couldn't have had a better week at Baycation! The house has everything you could ever need and is absolutely beautiful! Being right on the bay and being able to keep our boat in the water all week was just perfect! Will definitely stay here again!!

Great Stay at Baycation

Had a wonderful time. Baycation was marvelous! Very Clean! We met the owners who were really nice people. This was the first of few homes where the kitchen utensils were well supplied. We look forward to our stay in September 2020.

Baycation means great vacation
by Kathy Woodham
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.

Quiet time on the Bay
by David Moss
We as an extended family of 9 and one dog recently stayed at Baycation. The house is beautifully designed, decorated, and maintained. Everything needed was there for us. The view of the bay from the family room/kitchen is lovely-giving a sense of peace in this very uncertain time. Thank you, owners, for providing this great place for families to stay. The beach and bay were beautiful! This is our second time to stay at Baycation and we hope to visit again!

Absolute Perfection
by Sondra Badeaux
The six of us loved staying at Baycation! We felt at home the moment we arrived! It's the best equipped home we've stayed at. The decks and dock were our favorite! The guys fished all day and my sister & I shelled right in the bay. The team at Cape & Coast went above & beyond and their generosity touched our hearts! We took a fishing charter, ate at some good restaurants, but mostly relaxed & enjoyed time together! The town is more scarce than we expected, but they're still rebuilding from hurricane. We would definitely visit again & wouldn't hesitate to book with cape & coast again and again!

Beyond AMAZING!
by Shelly Stanfield
Baycation gave us the perfect vacation! The house and location are absolutely spectacular. We felt like our every wish and need had been so thoughtfully curated! The artwork and furnishings are so special and truly belong in such a gorgeous setting. There are so many unique and fun spots to enjoy here...both inside and outside. We loved all the porches, the dock, the pool area, the wooded area, the fireplace, the pizza oven, the privacy, the short walk to the gulf side beach park, and of course the STUNNING views, and mostly the bay itself! Thank you so much for sharing this very special place! It was a joy and a privilege to vacation here. Perfection. We have no suggestions for improvement...(oh...one family member gently suggests maybe heat for the pool? Or a hot tub? 🙂

Awesome BAYCATION, Feb 2020
by Rebecca Strauch
I could write a book about my wonderful stay at "Baycation". This spacious home has everything! It is spotlessly maintained, very well-designed, beautifully decorated, and has every gadget you can imagine in the stunning kitchen. The cooking equipment & accessories is all high-end name brands and looks nearly new. The screened porches & open decks offer breathtaking views of St Joseph's Bay (including intense sunrises). In the evening, the west-facing decks offer the colors of sunsets. There is plenty of comfortable outdoor seating, with a cozy fire table on one of the Bay-facing decks. I fell asleep on the large hanging rope bed on one of the screened peaceful. It's a long walk to the end of the private dock on the Bay, but the water is clear and relatively shallow. Take a book and 'sit a spell' out over the water. In warm months, launch your kayak right off the stairs. The interior of the home features very comfortable furniture, especially the mattresses, linens & pillows. The bathrooms are large with oversized showers and "rain" heads. The owners' choice of decorations for the home are on the whimsical side, with an alligator 'butler' in the 3rd floor kitchenette and a 3-D surprise in the elevator (check out the photos). The private pool is inviting, but the weather was too cold to swim or to bake a pizza in the wood-fired oven out there. The owners put considerable thought into this home for the comfort & convenience of their guests, such as labeling of all of the electrical switches & cabinet shelves in the kitchen. The photos are an accurate representation of this gorgeous rental. Highest quality is what you'll find when you step inside. Baycation is an amazing home.. you will love it !

Feels like home
by Andrea Hirkaway
Beautiful home. Stocked well. I brought my two children in wheelchairs and the house was more accessible than I thought it would be. We fished every day and night. Enjoyed the fire place on the deck. It was our perfect vacation.

Baycation Has All You Need for Your Vacation
by Amber Watson
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Baycation. The home did not lack for anything. Fully stocked kitchen, elevator, plenty of outdoor relaxation spaces, a great dock to fish from and the perfect size pool for our little ones! Thanks to the owners for allowing families to "borrow" their home for a week to enjoy time with family!

Best vacation house ever!
by Angela Everett
We stay at the cape each year for vacation. This was by far the nicest house we have stayed in. Every room in the house was relaxing. The views were amazing. The kitchen is stocked better than any other house we have stayed in. The elevator didn’t work while we were there but everything else was perfect!

Beautiful Home!!
by Paula, Leann, Lisa
What a beautiful home! Brand new, immaculate and very spacious. It is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and more! The view of the bay is spectacular and so is the breeze. The Gulf is right across the street and the beaches are also immaculate. Our week stay was very relaxing and quiet and the Cape is just a beautiful, special place. Wait until you see the sunrise from the deck!!

Family stay at Baycation

We had a great stay in Baycation. Walking into the house,was like walking into your own home. Every thing was so comfortable. We staked and explored the beach.

Amazing Week!
by The Holman Family
Amazing Week! Our families enjoyed our time at this fabulous home. Highlights of the week were hiking to the Donna Kay, our boat rental from Capt. Clint and shelling on the tip of the Cape. The only thing that could have made the trip better would have been more bites from the fish <. We all agree this was the best stocked rental home we have ever had. We are so thankful for this fun week at the beach, our last adventure before school starts.

Love This House
by Maverick Buckner
I love the dining room! The chairs and table were so clean and wonderful! My cousins and me loved playing on the deck, making forts, freeze tag, and hide-and-seek. We loved catching fish. Thank you for letting us stay in this beautiful home. Maverick, Age 5

Love the Cape
by The Whites
We love the Cape! CSB has been a wonderful vacation spot for our families since 2012. We've enjoyed staying on both the bayside and gulf side. This year has been amazing! We really loved this house - perfect for those that love to cook! Our family enjoyed kayaking in the bay, visiting the State Park and easy access to the beach. Places to visit - Weber's Donuts (get there early and stand in line *cash only*, Indian Pass Raw Bar.

Amazing Vacation
by The Godbolds
What an amazing vacation home! Our families came together for one amazing vacation and thoroughly enjoyed this home. The kitchen was fully stocked and more than impressive, the house had been beautifully decorated with rustic decor, plenty of room for our families, loved the back decks and comfy outdoor furniture, as well as the dock. Precious neighbors. We would recommend a set of stairs for the end of the dock with such drastic changes in tide levels. Nonetheless, in our 8th year of visiting PSJ and CSB, this was by far the BEST vacation house yet!

Wonderful, relaxing vacation!
by Donald Wigglesworth
Our family had a fantastic vacation at Baycation. The house itself was immaculate in every single way, large, very well equipped with everything you could possibly want or need, and both the inside and outside had features that made our time there very comfortable and relaxing. Finally, the location of Baycation on Cape San Blas provided us with everything one could want in a vacation rental. With the house setting on the bay side of the cape, we had access to the pier for fishing, as well as wading and kayaking in the bay. However, it was less than a 5 minute drive to the ocean side of the cape where we enjoyed the waves and solitude of the beach.
