Pet Paradise! Fenced Yard + Steps to Beach + Outdoor Shower + Beach Gear

Welcome to Cast Your Cares — Your Coastal Getaway in Cape San Blas!

Tucked inside the new gulf-side Villa Del Sol community, Cast Your Cares offers the perfect blend of coastal charm and comfort. Just a short stroll (about 5 minutes) down the community boardwalk brings you to the sands of Cape San Blas. After a sun-soaked day at the beach, kick back in the open-concept kitchen, dining, and living space, or head to the fully fenced backyard to grill and gather around the propane fire pit under the stars.

This 3 bed / 3.5 bath retreat is thoughtfully appointed, with a well-stocked kitchen, Smart TVs in every room (with Hulu + Live TV, Disney+ & ESPN+), and plenty of extras to make your stay feel like home.

✨ DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE for 2-week or longer stays from December–February – just send an inquiry to learn more!

🏡 Features & Amenities:

🐾 Pet Friendly! Up to 2 well-behaved dogs welcome ($75 fee). Please ask about dogs over 75 lbs.

🛏️ Master suite on main (king bed), 2 upstairs ensuite bedrooms (queen beds), plus a queen sleeper sofa downstairs.

Perfect stay!

We had an exceptional stay! The house was pristine and well stocked with everything we needed for our beach vacation. One of the best vacation rentals I have ever stayed in. Location was great with a very short stroll to the beach in a nice neighborhood. Great job!

This house was perfect!

Cast Your Cares is a great home for a beach stay with a well appointed interior, great location close to the beach and the community pool and a fenced yard that keeps your pups safe and offers a fire pit and grill. Our family really appreciated the personal welcome by the host and the amenities the host provided in the home. Would love to have stayed longer.

Great Family Getaway

Perfect dog-friendly family rental. Access to the beach was quick and easy with the provided beach carts. Pickleball courts are a great little something to do when you want a break from the beach. The house itself was fantastic, cozy, and well decorated, with an excellently furnished kitchen and very comfy beds. I will say I wish that I had asked if the pool was heated before booking for spring break (it wasn't) because it was pretty chilly. Everything else was top-notch. Communication before, during, and after the stay was timely and professional. I would recommend this place to any family!

Bathing suits and body wash

Bathing suits and body wash. That’s all you need to bring! This home has it all! The decor is beautiful. We loved the welcome sign and sweet treats! The beds are incredibly comfortable. The showers are hot. The kitchen is FULLY stocked (we cook a lot and they had everything you could ever need!). The house had chairs and a wagon we used for the beach. The propane grill was perfect to cook up local fish for dinner. We especially appreciated the bundle of firewood - what a wonderful core memory we made on our last night with our kids, our dog, sunset, good music and a beach fire! Thank you for sharing your home!

The theme for this property should be “attention to detail “, because the host / hostess certainly paid attention to every detail. The pictures do not do this place justice. We are so glad we found you guys, thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great stay in cape San Blas

This property had all the amenities that we were looking for. Close to the beach , pool , pickleball , volley ball. Dog friendly and even had a crate, dog bowls and fenced yard! The fire pit was awesome in the back and the kitchen was full of top of the line cookware and cooking tools. The rooms were awesome as they all had their own bathrooms. We stayed with two baby’s and the stay was very convenient and comfortable. Would def stay in this house and area again!

Adorably decorated and all the extra amenities any family could need!!

The fenced backyard was such a pleasure to have especially since it was our 1st beach trip with our babies that soon turn 2 “aka pups”. The kitchen was fully stocked with any cooking needs that one would need. The special touches were not forgotten when making this special beach house! The walk to the beach is a short one and WE will be back next year!!

Fantastic place!

Very nicely decorated house, comfortable master bedroom, new construction. Awesome private beach access. Currently, August 2022, the community is under construction, but when it’s completed it will be great. At times the noise level of construction was annoying but for the most part not a problem. I would definitely stay there again.

Our Favorite CSB Rental Ever! Loved it & Will Be Back!

Our family enjoyed every moment of our week at this outstanding property in Cape San Blas, which is just a quick walk to the beach. The owners have thoughtfully designed the home with top notch furnishings and left nothing to chance. The fenced back yard was perfect for our two dogs, and the front porch with an easy to use pup gate made quiet evening chats a pleasure. Beds were comfortable, and the wi-fi is fast. Looking forward to planning a return trip soon. What a terrific experience.

FAMILY AND DOG FRIENDLY, BLISSFULL VACATION

Cast your Cares was everything we expected and then some. The fenced back yard made our stay with Sadie, our pug, the easisiest and safest vacation we have had with her yet. We celebrated our son's graduation and the proximity to the ocean, the bay and walking trails was so convenient. The owners were top notch with communication. We would highly recommend this home to friends and family. We plan to book again in fall.
