Cape San Blas Vacation

We had a 7 adults and 1 child and we plenty of space. The upstairs bedrooms were great, especially since each was very spacious and had a full bathroom. We were just a very short walk to the beach or pool. We were very happy with the condo and would stay there again.

Wonderful! ...one issue though

Barrier Dunes is a truly great place to be, right on the water and incredibly dog friendly. 122 is cool and comfortable, but could stand a little updating: touch of paint here & there, and appliances. And a critical shortcoming is a weak DSL connection. Service that far out is iffy, so time for a cable modem please! Thanks!

Family beach trip

This was our yearly family beach trip and we decided to move from PC beach to Cape San Blas to get away from all the crowds and traffic. Great decision. The cape is very laid back and we very much enjoyed Barrier Dunes and Gray’s Reef. Very nice!

Annual Cape Trip

This is our second time staying at Barrier Dunes complex. Stefanie was extremely accommodating and took care of all our needs. The unit is in a great location with a short walk to the beach. Kitchen was lacking a few items so we purchased them and left behind for next family. Will definitely rent from Stefanie again!

Barrier Dunes condo

Typical property for this style and age of building. It was as described and adequate. Communication w rental company was great. I suggest - new chairs for top floor bedroom - all we’re cracked and damaged due to sun and add more silverware. Even though we ran the DW daily, I still had to hand wash spoons and forks to have enough for each meal. We ate in most of our meals.

Summer Vibes

This was our second stay at this property. We returned and will likely return again because of the ease of access to the beach and pools, the fun, family-friendly environment in the Barrier Dunes, and the comfort of this townhome. Our only recommendation would be to better stock the kitchen. A cutting board and more kitchen basics would have been nice. Overall, a great place to stay!

Cape San Blas was a blast!

The property is much nicer than the pictures! Stephanie answered all questions prior to renting and prior to arrival. The ease of walking to the beach with a 3 and 5 year old was awesome! Beautiful clean, white sand and gorgeous sunsets! The heated pool was an unexpected surprise as we were told the pools would not be heated. Unsupervised teenage boys in the pool on our last day was disruptive. They were loud, doing back flips and cannon balls, and dumped a big box of gold fish in the pool. Post a sign that says children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. The unit needs to have a vacuum cleaner available to guests. Also, the propane tank was close to empty. There were a few light bulbs burned out which should have been replaced prior to our check-in. We made great memories in Cape San Blas, and we will come back!

Perfect location for all people

Don’t let the pictures fool you, they don’t do the place justice. I’m not just referring to the Cape and beach, but the rooms and living quarters as well. Everyone on our trip agreed the place was much nicer than appeared in pictures. There is local art throughout to be enjoyed and really brings the living areas to life. There is a simple kitchen that was more than adequate to cook for a small to medium group of people. Very easy to move about and function. A gas grill on the deck came in handy for some burgers and chicken for the kiddos when they weren’t feeling like fish. There is quick access to the beach - the glorious beach. We had rough weather most of our stay with double red flags. That did NOT take away from the experience. It was still amazing to walk along with the family and look for shells, which were more than plentiful. Our last day we managed to get a yellow flag and play in the tide. So great for our kids ranging from 5 - 12. And don’t forget the pools. The smaller one is heated and perfect for cooler times in FL. There are tennis courts where Pickle Ball is always being played by locals and visitors alike. And our hosts? Always quick to respond and manage any request or inquiry we had. A week before our arrival they provided a document with so much information about the area and need-to-know details. What did I miss? Don’t miss out on the local places along the Cape! Skulleys Shrimp Boil is a must!! Double the amount of gumbo you think you’ll want - you can thank me later. Overall, we will be running back soon because this was an amazing place and experience for our family.

Magnificent Property Manager!

The property is in a great location, with a beautiful white sandy beach and clear green water. The townhouse was much bigger than it looked in the pictures. Stephanie, the property manager, was wonderful! The coffee maker did not work and I sent her a message and within 30 minutes she brought a brand new coffee maker over! She was always quick to respond to any questions we had. We will definitely book this property again.

Excellent townhome, exactly as described! Stefanie was super helpful the one time we had an issue with WiFi, but otherwise it was perfect! Great location close to the beach and pool, the community was still quaint and quiet even though it appeared to be full for the week. The unit was clean and tidy and we had zero complaints! We’ve visited the cape several times and have typically stayed in MB, but I would def recommend using stefanie if looking to stay on the cape! Thanks for a wonderful trip!

Dirty, no water pressure, unsafe unit

We had dog hair on our sheets, the master bedroom deck was missing a railing slat so we could never use the deck (our child could fall through), the water pressure in the unit was so bad that my in laws only were able to shower in their bathroom 2x the entire 7 days. The manager verbally told us it was an island issue and her unit didn't have water pressure either and she knew about the issue when we checked in (but never disclosed it to us). Then, when I told her we felt like we should've been compensated she said: "I knew about the water issues the day you checked in. We were told it was being worked on by the water company. Then we found out yesterday that it was a malfunctioning pump that was fixed. We do not offer compensation for utility failure as listed in your contract." The deck by the pool and clubhouse has rotting wood and is extremely unsafe. We will NEVER book this particular unit EVER again. Oh wait, there was one dishtowel to use for the entire week. One of the bedrooms had a sock and phone charger left in it. Just reiterating the lack of attention to detail by the cleaners.
