Barrier Dunes 188 - Turtle Tracks is just 90 steps off your back deck on a boardwalk stroll to one of the prettiest beaches in the world!

Enjoy great views from either side of the home!

You will find it well-stocked and well-maintained. Ready for you and your family to come enjoy a relaxing beach vacation on Cape San Blas! Pristine white sand beaches. The last of the 'old Florida' beaches. No crowds!

You'll love the white quartz sand that doesn't burn your feet, the sand dunes that give the setting character and the gentle gulf waves. The fishing is great, the crabbing fun and the activities abound from boating, hiking, beach bonfires, spectacular sunsets (our beaches faces west), horseback riding on the beach and tennis to impromptu socials.

All of life becomes casual and fun once you breathe the glorious salt air and let go of what you left behind. Try it and you'll be coming back regularly like most of our guests.

Barrier dunes, our gated community, has 2 pools (1 is beach front & 1 heated), lighted tennis courts, 3 fresh water fishing ponds, playground and pet stations throughout. Enjoy the quiet, unspoiled, dog-friendly beaches of the Florida Panhandle!

Nestled up to the state park and surrounded by water, it is the perfect place for a nature lovers explorations. Boating, restaurants and other diversions are only minutes away, yet many of our guests never leave Barrier Dunes.

Play tennis, swim in the pools, sunbath on the beach while watching the ever changing scenes, fish, crab, stir up a card game or read till your hearts content.

Pet lovers are overjoyed at being able to bring along fido, especially those who like to make an extended stay with us.

We know what it is like not to have what you need when you're on vacation! We try and provide as many of these extras a possible so you are focused on your vacation, family and fun and not on the basics! We encourage you to catch your own dinner of scallops, crabs or fish and bring along some marshmallows and enjoy s'mores around the beach bonfire or roast hot dogs for dinner!

Our goal is to make your stay as good as it gets. To make room for the pooch in your car, we provide every basic essential we can think of (see details on site), but we don't stop there. Imagine a kitchen that is stocked w/spices, crock pot, & crab pot. Picture yourself not having to pack the car with beach chairs, the boogie board and beach toys. If you're bringing a younger beach goer...No need to pack the pack and play or high chair! Enjoy a grill on the gulf view deck.

Don't forget your dog(s)...Cape San Blas beaches are pet-friendly and so are all of our rentals! Large dogs are not a problem!

Don't wait to reserve: we offer 5 gulf view vacation rentals, all in barrier dunes on Cape San Blas!

Great time at a great beach

Overall the property was as described. Literally 2 min walk to the beach and one of the best spots in the cove. This was like a home away from home with all the amenities needed to enjoy our time. I really appreciated having the beach chairs, cart, umbrella, etc available. Would stay again!

Excellent vacation!!

My family and I had the most wonderful time at Cape San Blas. The unit we stayed in was immaculate. The unit was fully stocked with everything we needed, from cooking utensils, linens, to beach gear. What a pleasure it was to arrive and have everything we needed for this trip including beds made, fresh towels and a guest information book that told us everything we needed to know during our stay! Excellent service!! Will definitely return for our next vacation.

Great dog friendly townhome

We enjoyed the townhome. It was comfortable and spacious. I appreciate the communication with the owner and the welcoming of our dog. There were things in the cupboard like spices and non stick spray and detergent left for us. That was nice. The downfall of the unit is the two sets of 14 steps. It didn’t occur to me how many times I’d be using those daily. Great stay!

Wonderful Place at the Beach

My wife and I (and our fur child) thoroughly enjoyed our week at Turtle Tracks at Barrier Dunes in Cape San Blas. The unit was well-equipped with everything we needed, from good WiFi to kitchen utensils to beach chairs, etc. We really like the Barrier Dunes community. The beds were comfortable. The place was clean on arrival. We had a couple of minor quick maintenance issues, and Devi and her people were prompt in helping us. We grilled out on our deck a couple times, and, conveniently, there was an extra propane tank at the unit, when we needed it. Overall, great experience.

Easy beach vacation

Comfortable townhome a few minutes walk from the beach. The community is cute and has two pools and a nice playground. Very kid and dog friendly. The kitchen has what we needed for a 5 day stay. We loved being able to walk to the beach. The house had all the beach items we needed - chairs, cart. We brought our own umbrella and toys. The place was big enough for a group and more than we needed for a family of 3. Large master bedroom with king bed and smaller bedroom with a queen on a separate floor. My only complaint is that the place could have been cleaner. The pots, pans, and silverware were dirty. This may have been because previous guests didn’t clean them thoroughly. We ran everything through the dishwasher and it was fine. Hopefully this was a one time issue, because we have no other complaints and would stay here again!

I just loved this property! We had a fabulous time! I especially liked being so close to the beach.

I just loved this property! There was plenty of room for my husband and I, + 3 kids. We had a fabulous time! I especially liked being so close to the beach. I loved the decor, very beachy and comfortable, and the condo was immaculate! We had some great meals, and did not need for anything in the kitchen. There was everything for cooking you could possibly think of, even spices! It was really nice not having to pack all the essentials. The beds and living room furniture was very comfortable. I have a bad back, so the bed is very important! We had some great times out on the beach, uncrowded and quiet, and the bonfires at night while watching the sunset were fantastic! My husband and kids also loved surf fishing every day! One day we rented a boat and went exploring on the end of the cape in St Joe State Park. The kids were finding all kinds of creatures! They had a blast! Once again we made some awesome family memories that will last for a lifetime! Thank you so much Wendy, we can't wait to go back!

Amazing Trip!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience at the Cape Escape. When we arrived everything was clean and every detail was thought of- paper towels, a full spice rack, sandwich bags, saran wrap, even "pet towels" for wet sandy dogs! I was so impressed by the amenities, there was even a closet full of beach toys, umbrella, beach chairs, etc., saving you lots of $$$ on things you wouldn't use after your trip. Wendy, the manager, was incredible. She is professional and friendly, always picked up the phone and promptly responded to texts and emails. The neighborhood is gated and felt very safe, with kids riding around on bikes and people walking their dogs, everyone I encountered was very friendly. The condo was just a short walk to the beach, maybe 30 seconds which is SO nice when you're carrying beach chairs etc.. You can see the ocean from the master bedroom deck. The beach is BEAUTIFUL. White sand, clear water, no crowds, not overdeveloped. We saw dolphins while sitting on the beach! You don't get that in Destin or Panama City or any of the other nearby popular beaches. Dogs are welcome on the beach and most places. This is really a special place, will definitely be returning!
