Minnesotan review

Had a great month at your Barrier Dunes home. The home is tastefully and comfortably decorated. Comfortable beds. Place is well equipped. Love the complex. Quiet, safe, very family friendly, very dog friendly. The beach in front is stunning, can walk for literally miles. Owner was very accessible. We had a few unavoidable issues and he did everything he could to resolve them in a timely fashion. Would definitely return in the future.

Great unit in Barrier Dunes!

This is easily one of our favorite units in Barrier Dunes. Great location in the community, very spacious, and stocked with just about everything you might need - crock pot and air fryer, extra fan in the master, baby gates (didn't travel with a child but we did have our fur babies and these were very helpful in keeping them out of spaces we didn't want them to go) as well as super fast and reliable internet. We spent two weeks here working without a blip. Owner is very responsive. We'll definitely check availability for this unit when booking next time!

Last Summer Hoorah!

This property was clean and perfectly set up for a family with five boys. We all had such a great time in the pool and on the beach. Double red flags kept us out of the gulf but we had plenty of enjoyment in the pool. We traveled light, so we appreciated the Kurtis and coffee! Would definitely recommend this property!

Great property and location

We had a fantastic stay! The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, which really made the difference. The property itself was even bigger than the pictures and perfect for our family of six. The location was unbeatable – just a short walk to the beach, pool, and tennis courts. Plus, the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Cape San Blas has a spotty cell/internet service which helped us disconnect from the world and was a blessing

Great spot

We really enjoyed staying on Cape San Blas. Unfortunately we were chased out of there by Hurricane Helene, but we were very happy with the place. I wanted to highlight quickly how well Drew communicated with me during the stay to solve the impending problem of the Hurricane and evacuations. He always responded within an hour to any question we had, and he worked with us to get us refunded for the nights we did not use. I felt like he was going to do the right thing financially as well as whatever was best for the safety and security of my family. Having a great host can sometimes make or break the stay, and I thought Drew was accommodating and helpful throughout the trip.

One of the nicest places we've stayed

We've stayed in at least a half dozen Barrier Dunes units and this one was the best! It was so clean and Andrew is so attentive (checked in on us and replied super fast!). Would highly recommend this 5-Star rental!

CSB 2024

We had a wonderful time at CSB. The townhouse is much bigger in person than it is in the pictures! It was VERY clean and well stocked. Drew, the host, was great. He was super responsive and very accommodating. Beds were comfortable and a very short walk to the beach/pool. Kids loved feeding the turtles every morning too in the pond that is right off the back deck. I will save this place to stay at again.

Great Location

Drew's place was perfectly situated near the beach and pool which made for easy access. The house was very clean and provided beach needs, which was much appreciated. There could be some improvements made from wear and tear (2 of the sliding doors didnt lock, screens were knocked out, kitchen utensils were broken) but that's easily resolved. Would definitely come back to this location on CSB.

Beautiful Barrier Dunes

The house was beautiful and so conveniently located! We all (especially the kids) enjoyed watching the many turtles in the pond below the decks. It was a very short walk to the Gulf side pool and then the beach boardwalk just beyond the pool. We really appreciated all the beach gear available to us. Lots of really nice conveniences as well like the handsoaps in every bathroom and the body wash and shampoo and conditioner dispensers in the showers. The hosts were great and very communicative. We couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable stay! The kids were sad to leave and asked if we could come back next year.

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Sanders

Host profile image
We are the Sanders family. We are Florida residents currently living in Destin, FL. We recently retired from the United States Army after 20 years of service. I am now working as a contractor with the United States Airforce, and my wife does the real work at home. Our family is excited to host you. Your vacation and memories are important to us. We will do every thing we can to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Why they chose this property

We are a family renting you our home. We are not a big vacation rental company who treats you, and the people who care for the property like a number. We have a personal relationship with our cleaners and ensure they earn a living wage. We care about your experience and want to make sure you have as stress free a vacation as possible. The house is fully stocked including beach chairs, floats, and toys. We are parents, we understand how much it takes to travel with kids. We put a Pack in Play in the house so you don't have to travel with one. We also put baby gates in the house so that if you have small children you can put up the gates so you don't have to worry about them climbing the stairs.

What makes this property unique

We are on the high desirable north end of the cape very close to the gate of one of the top State parks in all of Florida.
