This place is in the perfect location for a relaxing trip to the beach! They provide beach items for their guests, which is awesome when you have limited car space. Great communication with the owners, and the check-in process was a breeze. I HIGHLY recommend this rental!

We had a wonderful stay! The property manager was very responsive and easy to communicate with, making everything from check-in to checkout smooth and stress-free. The beach views were beautiful, and we loved how easy it was to walk to the beach whenever we wanted. The location was perfect for a relaxing getaway. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable place with great ocean views and convenient beach access.

What a lovely week!! We have been staying at Barrier Dunes for years and just love it! But specifically, this property was clean and neat as a pin. It contained just about everything we needed, kitchen is loaded with all the dishes, pots, pans, casserole dishes, and equipment you could ever need. All the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Most importantly, the beach is just a few steps away and the VIEW, THE VIEW is SPECTACULAR! The sun set directly in front of our balconies.....we enjoyed it every evening! Most mornings we were lucky enough to see dolphins and that is such a treat! We plan to stay here again and again.

Great condo on Cape San Blas with beautiful views! Have stayed in the area before and having the 3rd bedroom and easy beach access were huge pluses for us. Well stocked and ready for families. Just a nice piece of paradise!

Townhome was fully stocked as described in the property description from kitchen utensils, pots, and pans to towels. The host responded promptly to all of the questions that I asked and made check-in easy. The home is a bit worn, possibly from age, but also due to normal wear and tear, so don't expect a newer environment, but it was clean.The walk to the beach was right out from the back deck, which was probably the best part, especially with the ocean view and sunsets!

I’m glad you found the house well-stocked and the proximity to the beach to be convenient! I’m also glad to hear we met our cleaning standards. Also, if you’re up for it, I’d love to hear what seemed worn. The community has been welcoming vacationers for some time, but we’ve undergone many renovations over the years and just recently purchased new furniture and mattresses. Our goal is to keep things updated - I’ll reach out to follow up and would appreciate any feedback.

Great rooms with full views of the ocean.Kitchen pots were found in the bathroom closet and although there was a mixer and pans for baking, there was no baking spatula. Bedding for the fold out had a hole in it. Spice cabinet was less than advertised. Salt and Pepper. We appreciated the beach chairs and the beach itself was fantastic. Felt very safe.However, overall we had a wonderful time.

Hi there! I’m so glad you enjoyed the beach and views! Thanks for letting me know about the spices and spatula- I’ll get right to addressing those issues. Sounds like we need to replace that pull out bedding too. I’m not sure about the pots but will figure out what needs to be reorganized so items are where they belong! For the future, it is helpful when guests let us know about things immediately, so we have the chance to rectify any missing or damaged items. I try to be highly responsive to my guests and take care of any issues as soon as possible.
