The Bay pool is an amazing infinity pool that has fantastic views of the Bay. Guests have full access to all these amenities. We like to play in the Bay during the morning and hit the Gulf in the late afternoon. The sunsets from the Gulf are amazing so plan to catch those while you visit. Watching the sun drop into the ocean is a sight you can't miss.

About the owner: We started coming to the Cape years before we had children because it was such a quiet, peaceful place. Once we stared bringing our kids, we decided to buy a place and spend as much time as possible there.
Why this property? We chose this property because of the amazing views of St Joseph's Bay and that it has the best of both worlds. The Bay and Gulf are both just short walks and both are enjoyable for kids and adults alike.

Experience paradise on both sides of the Cape!
From the moment you arrive, you feel like you have entered an exclusive neighborhood. Entering the home we found a spacious, well-appointed living space and a layout that was perfect for four adults and four (pre-teen) kids. The perfect location on the cape, allowed us to spend our days snorkeling in the bay, swimming in the two beautiful pools and hanging out at the beach, all within very short walking distance. After cooking dinner in the large kitchen, our evenings were spent on the beach having bonfires on the beach or hanging out in the over-sized screened-in porch while the kids were able to play video games on the large sofa in the living area. We can't wait to go back!

Beautiful beaches, beautiful home
This home was perfect for our family of 5 with 3 young boys (1,3,&5). First off, it was decorated wonderfully, and gave off the beach feel from the first step inside. The house was stocked with games and toys they enjoyed during downtime. TVs in the rooms gave my husband and me some lazy mornings. The kitchen was stocked with all the tools we needed, and access to fishing poles was great! The screened in porch was awesome and the walks to the bay, pool, and beach so simple! Two boys scootered, husband pulled a wagon of our stuff, and I pushed the baby in the stroller. We utilized ‘Happy Cabana’ rental which was wonderful so we didn’t have to deal with traveling with or setting up an umbrella and chairs! It was our first time to the Cape and would definitely visit this house again!

Perfect Family-Friendly Get Away
We have been coming to the Cape for about 8 years now and have stayed in some wonderful houses ut this house was by far our favorite. The layout worked well for our family with 4 adults and 2 children. We loved the access to the bay and especially the view. We loved going to the beach or bay in the mornings followed by afternoons at the infinity pool. Our days were completed by sunset walks on the beach. The owners are very knowledgeable about the area and there was plenty of things in the house to entertain the kids. The only regret is having to leave early this year. We will be back soon to our favorite family destination!
