A great place to stay

The owner is very quick to respond and instructions for the checkin and stay were clear, concise and spot on. The unit is clean, and very cozy. It has everything you will need for your stay and everything works. It is right by the second swimming pool and tennis/Pickleball courts. It is also a very short walk to the beach. And as everything else in Barrier Dunes, it is also a short walk to the clubhouse and the main pool. The beauty of the Cape is it’s peaceful easygoing pace. No big crowds, And if you want even more seclusion there is St. Joseph Peninsula State Park that is just outside of Barrier Dunes and which provides trails and even more secluded beaches.

Excellent property in Barrier Dunes

We really enjoyed our stay. It was a short walk to the beach and we had all the amenities we needed. The smaller pool was just steps away from the property and worked well for my mother with mobility issues. This is our second time staying at Barrier Dunes and we love the low key, family atmosphere! Thank you

Great weekend/great place!

Really enjoyed our 2 nights on Cape San Blas at this property. Kitchen had all we needed to cook dinner and breakfast. Very comfortable master King bed. Easy walk to beach. Very clean. Nice drive to Port St Joe for dinner in their restaurant/Main Street area. We loved that it has more than St George Island but much less crowded than PCB or Destin. Would certainly stay again. Thanks for accommodating us! -Ron/Laura

Everything you need, close to the beach

We were pleased with our stay here. They basically everything you could need. We brought our chairs and beach gear, but they had that all there. I can’t think of anything I reached for in the kitchen to cook that I didn’t find. There were several new upgrades. And there was none of that beat down worn out carpet you see in some of the other units. The couch and loveseat were very nice. It was an end unit which I was pleased with. The only downside to getting an end unit is it might be harder to cool in the brutal heat. But the air conditioner seem to have no problems with the mid 80s. I’ve been in some other units that are struggling at that point and froze up and conked out. But this unit was great. We were very comfortable. The only thing that I did miss there, and this is not a downside for most people, is I like to have a stick vac so I can keep up with the sand. We drop our shoes in the foyer and at the back door, but it’s still finds its way inside. I just like to keep it, vacuumed because no one likes the feel of gritty sand on the floor. I feel it’s a good price point to. If you want a house and are willing to pay more, then you might get some thing different. But we are there to have fun and I’m not looking for an HGTV dream home. If you need something cute and well appointed with well functioning AC, this would be a good choice.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
I am a retired art teacher from the Chicago area, now moved to LA to be near our new grandchildren. Our family loves the beach at Cape San Blas. Our place is beautifully decorated, and well appointed. We are located 30 seconds to the solar pool and tennis courts, and less than a 2 minute walk over the boardwalks to the beach, clubhouse and pool. We love to bike and hike in the St. Joe Peninsula State Park. We love to eat the great seafood in the nearby restaurants, and listen to live music in the local eateries/pubs. Apalachicola, the second oldest city in FL., is a half hour away.

Why they chose this property

We purchased our townhome in 2004 from an NFL football player. We love the uncrowded, sugary white sand beaches of the Florida panhandle. We enjoy the great fishing eating, shelling, biking,and relaxing at the gated community of Barrier Dunes.

What makes this property unique

We love the small town of Port St. Joe. We shuck our own oysters that we purchase by the pound. We enjoy the most beautiful sunsets over the water. We also enjoy the shopping and great restaurants in historic Appalaciocola, the 2nd oldest city in Florida, only 30 minutes away. Also, we never miss a dinner at the Indian Pass Raw Bar during our visits. We take part in the several local activities whenever we can.
