RELAX AND RECHARGE

BEST of TIMES is a charming beach house just waiting for your special memories to be made. With a brand-new board walk leading directly to our pristine beach, this beautiful home was featured on HGTV as a prime vacation abode. The large 24'x20' outdoor deck has a new and well maintained six person hot tub, table and chairs, two loungers, and swing bed for the ultimate in relaxation. Inside, the spacious, open floor plan with fully equipped kitchen, dining area that seats eight, and comfortable bedrooms truly make this a home away from home. The master suite has king size bed with private bath, bedroom #2 has queen bed with bath, and bunk room sleeps four. 55" smart TV in living room and highspeed internet will keep you closely connected to work, school, and the outside world, if you so choose.

We include complimentary for our guests:
Guest information book loaded with local tidbits, such as restaurants, fun things to do & see, shopping, etc.
High-speed wifi that works well everywhere in the house.
New light fixtures on the first floor with dimmer switches.
Fully stocked kitchen:
Pots, pans, and serving pieces galore! Salt, pepper, & spices for cooking.
Quality bed linen (nothing cheap or itchy!)
Xbox 360 game system with several games & controllers, kid appropriate DVDs, in bunk room (DVDs can be played through the xbox).
One set of fresh bath towels per guest: wash cloth, hand & bath towel.
Hair dryers in bathrooms.
Anti-bacterial liquid hand soap at kitchen & all bathroom sinks.
Keurig with first 4 cups on the house.
Tea kettle, toaster, microwave, slow cooker.
Starter paper towel, toilet paper, dishwasher pod, and garbage bags.
Beach toys! Foam floaties, sand buckets & shovels, etc. for fun in the sun.
Puzzles, Jenga, adult & children's books, playing cards.
Outdoor shower.


Convenient location & close to everything, BEST of TIMES is 1/4 of a mile to Salinas Park (new pickle ball courts, playground, kayak launch, picnic tables, charcoal grills, restrooms, and boardwalk), Happy Ours Rental (bikes, kayaks, boat trips, etc. for fun activities), road-side fresh seafood markets for take-out, the famous Indian Pass Raw Bar along with many other wonderful restaurants, and three beautiful additional public beaches for great exploring adventures & beach lounging. The historic towns of Port St Joe & Apalachicola are within short driving distance, loaded with unique shops, restaurants, and sights to explore. Enjoy a spectacular day at the beach swimming, strolling, and collecting shells, rinse off in the outdoor shower, then lounge on the back deck with a cool drink until it's decided to dine in or go out!

For a refreshing adult beverage and cool local atmosphere, walk across the street to Scallop Republic, a local hub on the bay (spectacular bay view!) with craft wine & beers, with live entertainment in the evenings.

Don't miss the beautiful sunset and one of a kind star-lit night while soaking in the hot tub!

This house warmly welcomes well-behaved dogs so bring your fur baby along- s/he deserves a nice vacation, too! (Please: dogs are required to be on tick and flea preventative for their own health and cleanliness of our home because these parasites are very prevalent in the CSB area).

Cape San Blas beaches are dog friendly! Our neighborhood provides a quiet road & nice walking paths. Please keep your dog on a leash, clean up after your pet, and limit any excessive barking.

** Full Disclosure -- like most owners on the Cape, we have exterior cameras for guest safety and property security. One camera is at the front door and one underneath the house. NO violation of privacy: no interior or back deck cameras are implemented **

Why they chose this property

We have been vacationing in the area for years, Cape San Blas being our favorite.
There is something so special about the Cape: untouched beaches, beautiful nature & wild life, relaxing atmosphere, and of course, amazing seafood! It has been our dream to own a place on CSB, and in September of 2020, we were finally able to do it. There are some unique touches we have added since acquiring the house: dimmer switches on the first floor over-head light fixtures for a special ambiance, new and top quality linens, beach gear at the ready, and hand-crafted artwork throughout. Being beach house renters ourselves for many years, we took a few notes about what makes a memorable vacation and what we would do to improve the experience. We are excited to share our home and embark on this new journey!

What makes this property unique

We are committed to giving our guests a special, one of a kind beach house vacation. Cleanliness, modern comforts, and fun amenities are our top priorities. Our goal is to make sure everyone staying at Best of Times has a wonderful and memorable holiday on the Cape!
