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.

Lovely cottage!

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

Great location

My experience was excellent. Donna was very helpful in finding this property after one I had rented earlier fell through. We have been coming to the cape for more than 30 years, and love this location because no vehicles drove through! This house is small, and I wish the deck was larger and at least partly screened, but we still loved it!

Very nice beach house!

We had a great time of peace and relaxation at this cute little house which was exactly the right size for just the two of us. We are older people and being right on the beach made it so much easier for us to carry our chairs and umbrella to the water. Which was clean and gentle! House was immaculate, which meant so much to us. Exactly as described, we have already booked it again for next year.

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.

Nice Small option

Traveling as a couple, the property is a nice size and should work for a family. The beach access is close and not too many stairs involved. Wish the TV room furniture was more "comfortable" for sitting and napping but that's our preference. Everything was super clean and did not lack any kitchen equipment. Be Our Guest do a great job with communication and responsiveness.
