"Barefoot On The Beach"
Unit #199 in Barrier Dunes
Premium Location in Barrier Dunes
By Far the Largest Deck in Barrier Dunes
If you are looking for a relaxing vacation, no crowds, gorgeous sunsets, lush landscaping, serene peaceful setting, sugar white sand, emerald water, walking your dog on the beach, no high rise buildings, no crowded highways, yet lots of activities if you choose, this is the vacation rental for you.
This is a gulf front unit in Barrier Dunes with a hugh wrap around deck on 2 full sides of the townhouse letting you enjoy the view of the gulf and beach to the maximun. Barefoot has the premium location in Barrier Dunes. The townhouse is 2 bedrooms PLUS a loft and 2 1/2 bathrooms and sleeps 8. It is an end unit sitting diagonal to the beach giving you two full sides on the beach. There is a fabulous views out of every room of the Gulf and the beach. The loft has stairs leading up to it(unusual for Barrier Dunes, usually there are only stairs). There is a wood burning fireplace in the living room. All the main floor furniture was replaced and freshly painted in 2008. The main living area is all tile. It is pet friendly and dogs are allowed on the beach.
There is a private enclosed outside shower to rinse off. I provide alot of amenities like a TV with a DVD player in each bedroom, hair dryer and curling iron in each bathroom, beach chairs, toys, floats, noodles, puzzles, games, books and much more. Please go to my website beaches-beaches-beaches for a more complete listing of amenities. The unit is well cared for all furniture is in excellent condition. The unit has 1376 sq ft of air conditioned area. You can enjoy a truly relaxing vacation here.
Barrier Dunes is a gated community with boardwalks connecting you to the beach and other amenities. There are 2 swimming pools(one on the Gulf and the other is by the tennis courts and is solar heated), 3 man made stocked ponds, 2 lighted tennis courts, children's playground, club house, pet stations and much more. The community and beach are very dog friendly. Barrier Dunes sits right next door to St. Joe State Park (2500 acres) which has boat ramps. You can park your boat underneath the unit. Barrier Dunes is a very friendly community.
In 2002, Dr. Beach ranked it the #1 beach in the United States. The beach has numerous sand dunes, sugary white sand, turquoise/emerald water and a serene setting. The beach was restored in May 2008. There are no high rises on all of Cape San Blas, giving you uncrowded beaches and no traffic jams on the roads. This is an undiscovered gem on the forgotten coast of "Old Florida".
Cape San Blas is 20 miles long (of which St. Joe State Park are 10 miles of the 20) and at it's widest point is a mile across. The Gulf of Mexico is on one side and the tranquil waters of St. Joe Bay on the other (making it great for kayaking and canoeing).
Cape San Blas is east of Port St. Joe and 25 miles west of Apalachicola. It is about 50 miles east of Panama City and 110 west of Tallahassee.
