Turtle Crawl — Dog-Friendly · Gulf Beach Townhome · Sleeps 8

There's a particular philosophy baked into the name Turtle Crawl. Go slow. Take it all in. Don't rush the sunset. This dog-friendly end-unit townhome in the gated Barrier Dunes community was built for exactly that kind of vacation — and it delivers more features per square foot than anything else in the collection. A tiki bar at the ground level for evening entertaining. High-top Polywood bar seating on the main deck for watching the Gulf from above. An electric fireplace for cool-evening ambience. A king master suite with garden tub, daybed with trundle, and private Gulf-view deck. A guest room with a full-size twin-over-queen bunk that grown adults can actually sleep in. Granite throughout. LVP floors for easy beach-house living. And a stone walkway off the back deck leading directly to the beach access — just 75 steps away. Turtle Crawl. Move at the right pace.

A day at Turtle Crawl has its own natural rhythm and it tends to move at exactly the pace the name suggests. Morning coffee at the bay window seat or the high-top deck table, the Gulf catching the early light. The beach is 75 steps down a stone walkway off the back — load up from the stocked closet and head out when you're ready. Afternoons split between the surf, the community pool, and the easy-clean LVP floors back inside, the electric fireplace on if the day turns cool. But the real magic of Turtle Crawl is the evening: the tiki bar at ground level comes into its own as the sun drops, the high-top deck chairs above hold whoever wants the elevated view, and the king master suite garden tub waits for whoever needs the longest wind-down. Cape San Blas is one of Florida's most precious sea turtle nesting beaches — named for the slow, deliberate crawl those ancient animals make from water to sand to nest. This is the vacation version of that same wisdom. Slow down. You're at Turtle Crawl.

The main level is granite-finished, LVP-floored, and open-concept — a well-equipped kitchen with hutch for extra grocery storage, breakfast bar with two barstools, dining room, living room with electric fireplace and queen sleeper sofa, bay window seat, and a large Gulf-view deck with gas grill and high-top Polywood bar seating. The twin-over-queen adult-size bunk room with its own private balcony and full bath is on this level — flexible for families with kids or adult groups who need the extra capacity.
