Duneside Cottage (formerly known as Sea Ya Later) is a quaint gulf front home with two bedrooms plus a sleeping loft. Situated at the north end of the Cape; it’s a short bike ride to St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, and just a few steps to the sand and water’s edge. Swim, kayak, paddle board and play in the Gulf and Bay.

The kitchen and both bathrooms were completely remodeled in December 2021! This included all new cabinets, fixtures, tile, stainless appliances and uniquefinishes. Stay tuned for more upgrades as this owner continues to invest in this outstanding property!

*Most gulf front homes are much larger and made for well, large groups. Typically, in order to find a beach front home this size you must choose a condo and give up some privacy. This home offers the independence of a private home at a price a single family or two couples can afford. This is also a perfect design for our snow birds in the winter.

*The deck offers both covered and sunny spaces with a great outdoor eating bar. There is a short, private boardwalk to the beach.

*We've also included a $250 VayK Gear credit to be used toward bikes, boards, chairs and umbrellas. Your gear will be delivered prior to your arrival and picked up when you leave.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is very intimate. Perfect for one or two couples or small family. Beach access is convenient and the view is stunning. Home was clean and had all the amenities. The only thing I would add is a big low country boil pot. It can be stored in the utility room. ? We've already booked for next year and cannot wait. This place is so special and perfect, we got engaged on the beach.

    The house is exactly as pictured and set up better than the pictured can capture. The view, the privacy of the beaches, the cleanliness of the beaches, the fun little restaurants nearby, the nighttime beach fires! It was a perfect getaway for 2!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Cottage was exactly how it was described, no surprises. I’m a pretty picky guest and I was quite happy with the cottage. It was everything we needed to enjoy our stay, including an easy, flat access to the beach. We wanted for nothing but Donna was quick to answer any questions we had. We had a great time and already booked our next stay there.

    This was the perfect spot. We had a few mishaps with a leaky window and an ant swarm but they were quick to help us out. Beautiful sunset view and nice quiet spot.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed for a week for our wedding anniversary. We loved the close proximity of the beach and no crowds. The view was amazing from morning to sundown. We had 4 adults and our dogs. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back again! Home came with all the basic amenities and some extras! Plenty of games for rainy days and plenty of space for 4 people. We enjoyed the chair and umbrella delivery service that was offered through Vayk and took advantage of a credit that was offered.

    This was such a sweet little cottage! As described. Very clean. The only suggestion that I have is a new mattress in the queen bedroom, saggy in the middle but other than that, it was perfect! Only a few steps to the beach. I definitely would recommend this cottage for future stays

    This house was the perfect size for my family. Bathrooms and kitchen looked to be recently remodeled. There was a private outdoor shower with hot and cold water. Beautiful gulf views everyday and sunsets every evening. Great location on the cape. Nice quiet street.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed every thing about our stay at Duneside! Perfect bungalow for us 2 and our 2 little terriers. Beachfront made quick and easy access to the a great spot! The dune lined walk is beautiful but short. The house has everything you’d want and need. We especially enjoyed the deck for morning coffee and most of our meals. Perfect! (The only drawback is it needs a gate for convenience. There is a baby gate that was a solution but not too convenient. I don’t want to say this but thought it might be helpful to know. ). We love this place and know the cape very well. It’s our new spot! Thank you for sharing your special and beautiful home!
