Steve is an excellent host! The condo is exactly as described! It’s perfect for a few days with your best friend or couples. The layout of the bedrooms makes it ideal for privacy. The upstairs bedroom is very spacious. The weather was beautiful and the pool was not crowded at all. It’s a very peaceful complex so you can actually relax. Whenever I had a question, Steve was really quick to respond. I would definitely recommend his condo!

Second time to stay here and it is a great place to stay. Steve has always been easy to get in touch with when needed. The only fault was the dishwasher had an odd smell but a good filter cleaning should solve that problem. Overall a great place to stay.

Helpful host - great property

Barrier Dunes is a wonderful little gated community with easy beach access and a private beach that allows dogs. It's like visiting Florida 40 years ago. We had a lovely stay, and found the place to be well maintained. The owner called to check on us, nd made sure everything was going well for us. Would definitely book again.

Great getaway.

Property was very comfortable and the location was perfect. This unit had pretty much anything we needed to cook and eat with. Property owner was extremely easy to deal with and was available anytime I sent a message. Will definitely be booking through this owner and hopefully get the same property on our next visit to Port St Joe.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Our family of 5 lives to travel and we all love the beach. We really enjoy all of the amenities that Barrier Dunes has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Cape San Blas is a wonderful vacation destination that is not touristy. There are miles of beautiful white beaches and none of the crowds and highrises that you find in Destin, Panama City Beach or Gulf Shores. It is a great place to get away and truly relax.

What makes this property unique

Our townhouse is one of the newest in Barrier Dunes and is just steps away from the gulf front pool and beach. It is newly remodeled and has all new appliances and furnishings. We have a 40 inch plasma TV as well as TV's and DVD players in both bedrooms.
