We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week with amazing weather! The house was super comfortable and we had everything we needed. We were especially thankful for the provided beach gear. We did buy a couple of buckets as the ones there were broken. And we bought a float. There are even beach towels provided. Easy access to the beach and the cart provided was very helpful. We would definitely rent again!! Thank you for sharing your home!
I absolutely loved this house, it was completely stocked with everything you could ask for! My grandbabies loved the pool and all the toys, games and beach stuff! We will definitely be back!
We had a great time. This home provided what we needed for our family. The kitchen was well stocked. The pool was awesome! Will definitely consider this home for our next vacay to the cape!
We enjoyed our stay and were very happy with our rental house and location. The house had lots of kid things which was very convenient as well as lots of beach things!. The description on line was very accurate.
We stayed at Good Times and Tan Lines for our family vacation. The house was great and gave us lots of room to spread out. We loved the porches and hung out on them most nights. We will definitely be back!
Plenty of room for an extended family of ten. Great space for kids ranging from 2-13. Very short, easy walk to the beach. Perfect location and loved having our own pool. Home had everything we needed.
This is our second time here and it's our favorite by far. The house is everything we need. We loved sitting on the balcony on the 3rd floor, but just as awesome was the screened in porch on the main floor. Theresa is always accessible, even throughout the year, and so nice!
What a great week at Good Times and Tan Lines beach house. Our party of 9 could not have asked for better home to stay at for our family vacation. We had 5 adults and 4 boys ages 10 y/o to 9 months old. The house was perfectly equipped with with toys, games, and toddler gear as described. We will definitely look to rent here again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family!
This was our first trip with our family and new baby and this house was perfect! Extremely well stocked and the owner was very helpful. Would love to stay again.
We previously owned this property, so we were excited to be able to go back and enjoy the property that we built . Great time, enjoyed by entire family.
We stayed at this house with another family and it was the perfect size. Great house with lots of space and very close to the beach and a great location on the cape as well. The pool came in handy, we used it a good bit.
This was the perfect home for our spring break vacation. Everything we needed for a great week was available at the house. We were just a few steps from the beach and loved the using the pool.
Thanks!
Had a great week relaxing by the pool and beach!! The house was perfect for our 4 couples, we are some incredible meals at local restaurants and ended each night with game and cards around the table. Looking forward to our next vacay!!!!
We had a wonderful stay at Good Times and Tan Lines. Perfect, close location to the beach. They had tons of beach/pool toys and equipment. The house was clean and spacious. Great house for all ages!
This is as our first vacation with my 9 month old baby boy and my 1 year old nephew and this property was beyond perfect! To the toy bins filled with goodies to the baby gates this house was made for our baby boys to relax on their first ever trip to the beach! The property was also very clean and spacious for our whole family! We will definitely be back!
Was nice. The only problem was the pool was 6 to 8 inches low every day and we had to add water so the pump wiuld clean and filter the water.

Hi Lynn! The pool had a pipe leak under the pool decking that the pool company said was probably due to a van exploding next to our property and causing the damage. As we discussed, I didn’t want to cancel your vacation to fix the problem. We had a timer on a hose in the pool for a temporary fix that you just had to set to run remember. The issue has been fixed.
We enjoyed Good Times and Tan Lines with our children and both sets of parents. The place is well stocked, quaint, and steps away from the ocean. We enjoyed the nearby trading post for ice cream and walks on the path/ocean. Property owners were super responsive and prompt! We will be back!
First time back to the cape in several years and it did not disappoint! This beautiful property has everything you could need and more! This is probably the most well stocked rental we have stayed at and my daughter absolutely loved all the toys available to her to play with. Kids also loved the pool and everyone raved about the comfort of the beds! Spacious, clean, beautiful and convenient to all of our favorite places. Also quick and easy access to the beautiful beach. Would definitely stay here again!!!

Why they chose this property
Cape San Blas is the epitome of the perfect beach - never crowded, beautiful water and sand, gulf and the bay, and all provide a great opportunity to enjoy nature at its finest. Occasional dolphin sightings and sea turtle nests add interest to our visits. The sand is especially easy for walking.
