Great location

The location of this property was very close to the beach. it’s a nice condo community. Inside of the community you will find dog potty bags, a pool and tennis court. We were there a very short time were not able to enjoy the amenities, but it was nice to know they were there. Spacious and pretty much everything you need. I do, however, think that the furniture & bedding could use a little updating! if you’re looking for a place to get away for a short time or even a long time with your dogs, I do recommend this property.

Great spot for a getaway

We loved being steps from the beach in a comfortable, well-equipped townhome. Lots of walking on the beach and we even had a nice fire on the beach our last night. We also took advantage of hiking in the nearby state park and got fresh fish and shrimp from the market down the road. Overall, it was a wonderful break!

Clean n easy walk to beach at this dog haven. Unfortunately furniture is old and very worn. Back deck is risky and very unstable especially at top of stairs. This needs attention.

Vacasa - Review only

We are posting this review after trying to reach out directly to the owner at Barrier Dunes. We have not heard back from either VRBO or the owners. The issues we have are with the Host, which is Vacasa of Florida. If you remember, there was a hurricane, Idalia which impacted the western coast of Florida and required a Mandatory Evacuation of Cape San Blas on Tuesday noon, August 29, which was rescinded on Wednesday at noon August 30. My family had to leave Florida and drive back to Atlanta hoping to salvage some time at the unit. We had leased the unit from 8-25 to 9-5 which was 11 nights during the off season. Vacasa NEVER called us or communicated with us in ANYWAY alerting us of the Hurricane or the Evacuation Order. We wondered how many Vacasa renters could they have possible had the week prior to Labor Day. We were advised by other tenants at the complex, Barrier Dune, of the pending and then actual Order. We called Vacasa over 10 times and not once did we talk to anyone that had knowledge of the pending hurricane or Evacuation Order on Tuesday August 29. We talked to reps in Belize 5 times, Oregon 2 times, El Salvador 2 times and Valdosta 1, but NEVER from the local St. Joe Staff. We were told after every frustrating call that someone would call us back within the hour. NO ONE from Vacasa EVER called us. To the owner of this unit, we loved the unit as it is the best unit, we have stayed in from our 5 prior stays at Barrier Dunes. Never again!

Great Vacation Rental Property

The townhouse was very close to the boardwalk out to the beach. Made it convienent to go back and forth to the beach during the day. The townhouse was very clean. The kitchen was large made it easy to cook meals. We used the grille on the deck to cook several meals during our stay. The living area was spacious and we enjoyed the large dinning table. The washer and dryer were regular size and easy to use. The bedrooms were clean and plenty of room. We enjoyed the parking location under the townhouse. Overall, we were very pleased with the location and space and useability of the townhouse.

Excellent place

VRBO had double-booked us at another property, so we found this at the last minute. We were wary, but happily surprised to find that it was not only close to the beach, but also there was absolutely NO MUSTY ODOR, like many other Barrier Reef properties. It was clean and tidy, and while we needed more towels and it would’ve been nice to have luggage racks, the place exceeded expectations. The bedrooms need new mattresses, and the other furniture needs updating, but the newly updated kitchen and master bath are spectacular. We want to stay here again! Oh, and there was a problem with the hot water heater when we first arrived, but it was fixed within 24 hours. Excellent service.

Average

Very nice beach. Not as crowded as some others along the gulf. House was average. But close to the beach. Complained to management about shower nut draining and it took them three days to respond - by then we had gone and bought draino and fixed it ourselves. Saw multiple hairs on the bedding and washed it before sleeping. Saw cockroach in the entryway.

Great location - terrible apartment

Property manager was unresponsive to issues related to cold weather. Neighboring apartments sent staff out to respond within 24 hours. No so with this apartment. We were without water for over 48 hours and no one arrived until after it came back on. Also small issues like cabinet doors missing and outlets that didn’t work. Loved Gulf Co with the dog, but not this apartment.

Nice master bathroom and kitchen

The kitchen and master bathroom were very nice, also loved the washer and dryer, which looked almost new. Air conditioner worked very well. Owners might want to consider providing some instructions for the stove, washer, and dryer. We were able to figure it out, but it was a little confusing. We also could have used more bath towels, washcloths, and some bath mats- there were five of us there for a week, and were only provided four bath towels, two hand towels, two washcloths, and no bath mats. The washer and dryer got us through, but being at the beach means multiple showers every day! Overall a nice stay and very close to the beach.

Peace

I very much enjoyed my trip. I used it as a quite BD get away from the speed for work, life, and parenting. It was a birthday present from my husband and was exactly what the doctor ordered. My only complaint would be the bed in the master bedroom could really use an upgrade.

Perfect for us

We loved biking, boating, playing tennis, eating at cone heads, exploring the state park with our precious doggo, and unforgettable quality time with family. This property was perfect for all our needs. The two rooms upstairs had their own balcony and bathroom. We loved having a glimpse of the ocean from the upstairs master. Perfect for watching the sunrise and set over the ocean without even getting out of bed.

I rented this property for privacy and a place located near the beach.

I placed a small dog gate on the patio so my dogs could get some fresh air. I wake up in the morning and and there is a “Karen” looking woman standing on the patio talking to the neighbor. I stood and stared at her for almost five minutes. The neighbor turned and waved at me. Like “this is fine.” No. It was definitely not fine.

Great location!

The location of this property was really good! It was a super short walk to the beach, and not too far from everything the cape had to offer. Not the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed. Also the house could use a little updating. The check-in and check-out was really convenient.
