Welcome to 'By the Sea', a gorgeous Gulf-front paradise that's a perfect choice for families, couples, and smaller groups looking for a relaxing and intimate beach experience in a well-appointed home.

Once you step inside you will be greeted by a bright and open kitchen-dining-living floorplan all with Gulf views! The kitchen has been updated with custom cabinetry, granite counters, and appliances. The sun deck and pergola provide the perfect outdoor spots for dining or soaking up thesun.
A private walkway and just a few steps separate you from the beach, so you can easily spend your time on the well-furnished deck or walk to and from the beach in seconds. This home faces South and has the benefit of being able to see remarkable sunrises and sunsets, as well as magnificent star-filled night skies.

To cool off you will find a recently installed heated saltwater pool on the ground level, which features a sun shelf for a refreshing place to work on your tan and is also a perfect shallow area for kids to enjoy. The pool is partially shaded, providing a surprisingly pleasant way to help cool down from the sun on those hot Florida days.

To top things off, this home also features a beachfront hot tub, where you can watch the waves as the sun sets over the Gulf. For your convenience there also is an open outdoor shower to rinse off the saltwater and sand.

This section of Indian Pass has limited public beach access so there is very little foot traffic, and outside of peak times, you are more likely to see wildlife than you are to see other people on the beach. The shallow Gulf water provides for a pleasant swimming experience.

This home is pet friendly and with the secluded nature of the area it is a delightful place to enjoy the beach and create lasting memories with your furry friends.

The master bathroom has been updated and expanded, and now includes a romantically spacious step-in double shower. The second main floor bathroom has also been updated with new floors, paint, tile, and shower/tub. The master bedroom and the second beachfront bedroom each feature king beds. The home also includes a third bedroom with spacious queen-over-queen and full-over-full bunk beds, providing a number of sleeping options for multiple families or groups who are comfortable sharing a more intimate space. All rooms contain their own televisions. In total, the 3-bedroom 2-bathroom home can accommodate up to 12 guests.

For remote workers, the master and second beach front bedroom each contain desks, and the home is equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, so you wonât be inconvenienced trying to fit some work in on your beach vacation, or it could simply be a phenomenal place to work remotely for the week.

Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to experience By the Sea.

    Overall the stay was enjoyable. There were some issues during our stay. When we arrived the pool and hot tub had not been cleaned and the hot tub never worked. The refrigerator had some issues. I did call about this and the pool and hot tub were cleaned pretty quickly afterwards. However, the hot tub never did get fixed, this was ok with our group as we had the pool still. The only thing I would really recommend is to have had some communication about the hot tub that there was an issue that could not be fixed during our stay as I spent time filling it up with water twice and did not realize there was an issue at first. The refrigerator was looked at pretty quickly and seemed to work better after. We still had a great time and enjoyable stay.

    This house is perfect! Great location and excellent size - not 3 or 4 stories like neighboring houses. It's the only house on the strip with a partially covered pool, which is awesome because you can swim if it's just raining or you can get out of the sun and not fry! The management group was a great communicator and very responsive.

    We loved the location of this precious little house. We loved how secluded it was on the actual beach; there weren’t many people around at all! The main issues we had were the cleanliness and the AC in the house. Cleanliness: there was a urine stain on the dust ruffle of the master bedroom and there was dog hair EVERYWHERE; inside and out. AC: we kept the doors closed and all lights off during the day, but it would get SO hot in the house. It stayed around 78 in the house at all times, and the master bedroom never once cooled down—which made sleeping so uncomfortable. Even with the heat and dog hair, we had a wonderful time!

    The house was great. Was exactly what we wanted. Our biggest complaints were the shower heads had no water pressure. We took them off and cleaned them and it helped some. The maintenance guy that came said he’d have to order new ones. There was also zero lights over the pool and the carport area. Again the guy came and said they would have to order new light bulbs. Thankfully my husband brought a light we were able to plug up outside. All in all great memories were made and we had a fabulous week! We’re looking to book again next year. May get a bigger house but plan to book through this company! This was our second year booking through Cape and Coast!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I like By-the-Sea, so much so that this was the 4th time I have rented it. It is a cozy little house right on the beach, great for 3-6 people. This time two friends and I stayed for 2 weeks. We had a great time walking on the beach and eating seafood at the many local restaurants. The rental agency responded promptly to our issues. I have and will continue to recommend this house and Cape and Coast Vacation Rentals to my friends.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful view. Super location, just a few steps to the beach. Deck was large and great for star gazing at night. However, it is need of some maintenance and improvements. Chair in the master should be replaced. Leather peeling off. Towel hooks in the bathrooms instead of plastic peel and stick. Front door electronic lock was falling off. Kitchen faucet was missing the aerator so water sprayed everywhere. Needs a light over the stove. Hinge on living room door to the deck was coming off. Parking wasn't great. Under the house is all sand instead of a concrete pad so you were dragging sand into your car all the time. Plus there is only one driveway for one car to park under the house. You have to drive over the grass to park in the other spot. A door to the master bathroom and blinds on the door in second bedroom would be nice. No doors on the closets (?) AC airflow to master very low. Overall, if those issue were addressed, it would be an excellent rental.
