Quaint, private gulf front on North Cape, NEW kitchen and bathrooms!
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 unique finishes. 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.

This property was perfect for our family. The house is beautiful and well kept. The location was great with the beach steps away. The view was spectacular. We will definitely stay again. We love it here.
Nice home in a beautiful location. Extremely positive setting with the ocean just steps away. The host was very generous with the amenities that they provided ( full size bars of dove soap,extra large bottles of shampoo and conditioner,everything we needed,t.p. P.towels,trash bags. Definitely recommend and will stay here again.
Great quiet location with a fantastic view. Size was perfect for us. Some nice uogrades/updates. Nice deck with great views. Enjoyed our stay thoroughly.
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.
Beautiful house, perfect location right on the beach with a beautiful ocean view. We wanted a smaller house just for my husband and I and this was great. We loved it and will definitely return.
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
Couldn’t ask for better location! Right on the beach. The house was very nice, very clean! No problems at all. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended!
We stayed for a week March 2024. We were a group of 4 spanning 3 generations, plus one dog. We arrived late and after the entry code did not work, a call to the number on the site remedied the situation immediately. This house was the perfect size and equipped with everything we needed. We used the grill and the laundry facilities without any issues. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for the meals we prepared. The beds and furniture were comfortable, the house and grounds were clean, and the beach was fabulous.

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!

Nice smaller home on the Gulf. Perfect for 2-4 people, even a couple of kids. Would be nice to have a screen on one or two sliders. Would have loved to have the fresh air but the flies made it tough. Only found two large bugs. (One dead already, probably heart attack). Hey, it's Florida. We were there a month and would rent again. Great beach location.

This is our second time staying at this cottage, and it did not disappoint again. The cottage, including appliances and outside areas were spotless. Kitchen and bathrooms well stocked. The weather cooperated, and we have some beautiful photos of skyscapes against a turquoise sea. We brought our dog this time and he enjoyed it as well. Especially hunting for "ghost" crabs at night. No crabs were hurt in the adventure. We will definitely be back.

The house was clean and very well stocked for me and my family. The master bedroom mattress could be replaced as I came home with a great tan but a bad back.. lol I would definitely stay again though. Has to be the best property management I’ve dealt with. It was easy to book and communicate with the team.
Duneside Cottage is our favorite place to stay for multiple reasons: pet friendly, fewest number of steps, close to the beach with stunning views. Perfect for us!
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!
We had a great vacation and the house is wonderful. Great communication with the host. Will definitely be back!

We had a great stay, in a perfect location. Be our guest vacations was super accommodating, when we had any issues or needed anything.
Lovely little place with great views over Deep Cove. Had seals visit the beachfront. Paddle boarding was a nice bonus. Hot tub was super relaxing after a long walk. Close to walking trails and only 45 minutes drive from the city. Great communication from host Blair.
