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!

About the host
Hosted by Julie Kern
Welcome to Cast Your Cares! We’re so glad you’re here🌴
We’re Greg and Julie, your hosts, and we’ve spent years enjoying everything that makes Cape San Blas so special. From the quiet, uncrowded beaches to the slower pace of life, it’s a place that naturally invites you to rest, breathe, and reconnect.
One of the things we’ve always loved most about the Cape is how pet friendly it is. Our own pups have spent many happy days exploring these beaches, so creating a space that welcomes your four-legged family members was especially important to us.
As hosts, our goal is simple: to make your stay feel easy, comfortable, and cared for from the moment you arrive. Whether that means a peaceful morning with coffee on the porch, a full day in the sun and sand, or a cozy evening winding down, we want this to feel like your place while you’re here.
Cast Your Cares isn’t just a place to stay - it’s a place to slow down, make memories, and truly enjoy your time away. We’re honored to host you and hope your stay is refreshing, meaningful, and one you’ll want to experience again. 🌴🐾☀️
Why they chose this property
Once guests arrive, they rarely want to leave - and many return year after year. There’s just something special about this place.
We’re Greg and Julie, your hosts, and after more than a decade of spending time in Cape San Blas, we’ve come to truly appreciate what makes it so unique: the quiet beaches, the slower pace, and the space it gives you to breathe and reconnect.
One of our favorite things about the Cape is how incredibly pet friendly it is. We know your four-legged family members are part of the experience, too, and this home has been thoughtfully set up with them in mind—from the fenced backyard to the easy beach access for walks and exploring.
Cast Your Cares has been prepared to feel welcoming, comfortable, and easy from the moment you arrive. Guests often mention the peaceful atmosphere, the thoughtful details, and how well everything is set up—from the kitchen to the outdoor spaces.
Whether you're unwinding after a beach day, grilling under the stars, or simply enjoying time together (pups included), this is a space designed for rest, joy, and connection.
We feel honored to host you and truly hope your time here is refreshing, memorable, and exactly what you need. 💛🐾🌊
