Wonderful home!!

We absolutely love this home. The fact that each bedroom had its own bathroom was a plus. The location near the pool and the ocean was perfect. We enjoyed the tennis courts and pickle ball courts. The pool area was well-kept and beautiful.

Great home and location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cape Thyme! The home was beautiful and spacious. The layout was perfect for our family. We really loved having the screened porch to enjoy morning coffee. The location of Cape Thyme was perfect! We could easily walk to the bay, the pool, the beach, and even a local restaurant! We would definitely recommend this lovely beach retreat!

Cape Thyme

This was the perfect vacation spot! It was beautiful, quiet and it had a great pool to enjoy. It was only a short walk to the beach which had a swing where we spent a lot of time just enjoying the view. This is the first time I've ever been on vacation for a week and didnt want to go home after day 3. We will go back again.

Great home with lots of amenities

The property is great- just as described. Everything was clean and comfortable . Our favorite house feature was the screened in porch where we had coffee every day looking out onto the bay. We have kids ranging from 11-23 years old so everyone’s wants are all over the place but this house/neighborhood has something for everyone. We used the tennis courts, workout room (okay, some of us did), the bay side infinity pool and hot tub, the pier to fish and the bay to kayak and paddle board. Oh, and we rented bikes with the VayK Gear and peddled to lunch a couple times. Of course the ocean is just across the street. The beach is thinner and therefore more “crowded “ than we remember it from years ago when we were last here. We used the public access to the beach (instead of entering the through the Ovation gated access) because the public beach access is just as convenient and is easier without steps for a wagon that we pulled. We had a few pretty minor questions about the house once we were there, and Donna answered us immediately. If you are new to Cape San Blas and looking to get out of the crowds, yet still have opportunities to do other things than just beach, you’ll love it here.

Perfect beach vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We LOVED this home. So beautifully designed. Very high end but also comfortable and cozy. Awesome kitchen with everything you could ever need. Love all the porches off of the bedrooms and living room. Plenty of space to spread out and have privacy from the group if wanted. Super close to an amazing beach with the softest whitest sand. The infinity pool is super nice and much bigger than it seems. Hot tub was great as well. Truly loved our stay and really hoping to come back. Donna is amazing and went above and beyond care of us! Highly recommend !!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 4 enjoyed our short stay at Cape Thyme. The property was clean, well stocked and comfortable. The location is a very short walk to the bay side pool and about a 1/4 mile walk to the public access beach. Driving is certainly an easy option too. We would certainly stay again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cape Thyme is a beautiful bayside home which met all of our needs and then some! We loved the upstairs screened porch as well as the other porches. Everything was clean and comfy. The short walk/drive to the bay was a plus for us, and the saltwater infinity pool at the club house was the best! Awesome bay views and easy access. Donna was very helpful in booking this home.
