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!

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.

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!

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!

Perfect house

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. The house was spacious and comfortable. Loved the front porch with the baby gate. We sat out there every night and had a glass of wine with our dog watching the stars. Loved the outside shower to wash off the sand and clean up the dog. The beach was a short walk and we walked it twice a day. Our dog loved running along the edge of the water. Found shells on the beach each morning. Appreciated the beach wagon, beach chairs and towels. Saved us room in the car on our trip home from Florida Was so happy when we arrived hot and thirsty to find bottles of water in the refrigerator and my husband appreciated the snacks. There was even treats for our dog. Can’t say enough good things about this rental. Communication was great. Appreciated the binder of information. It really came in handy . Looking forward to going back next year

Perfect is the only way to describe this property

Check in was simple with great communication. The location is amazing. Close proximity to beach which was very quiet and beautiful. Water on both side to enjoy. The bay on one side and the Gulf on the other. Quiet location with plenty of things to do nearby including very nice restaurants. This is the old Florida we love. The property itself is lovely. It is very well kept and has more than anyone could possible need. Sit on the balcony for a sunset cocktail or head up for a coffee in the morning to start your day. We were just a couple so we only used the downstairs but there is plenty of room for bigger familys and everyone will have their own bathroom for a small group of couples. Communication was great with easy to follow and clear instructions. The host fee does increase the advertising price but after experiencing the service we were happy to pay it.

Wonderful stay for our family vacation

We stayed at Cast Your Cares for our family beach vacation with our preschooler and baby. Needless to say, the less thinking we have to do the better. This home was the perfect place as the hosts thought through everything from snacks to towels, beach wagon, blanket and chairs. Nice community with pool and pickle ball. We were grateful to include our dogs in the beach fun too. We would definitely stay again.

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!

Fantastic stay for a family with dogs

We loved the spacious, beautifully decorated house, and the fenced yard was perfect for our two dogs, kids, stuff etc. Every detail in the house was taken care of, the owners really go the extra mile to be sure that you and your family have everything you need. The kitchen is huge and well-equipped to cook just about anything, and the kids loved having their own space and bathrooms upstairs. The beach is a short walk away and is great, and the pool and pickleball courts in the little neighborhood are great for all ages. Can't rate this place highly enough, and the owners were responsive and helpful in all ways. RENT THIS PLACE, just not on the weeks we will try to come back, ha ha.
