The condo was just as described. Steve was very easy to work with and quick to re-communicate. The beach and main pool were just steps from the condo. The grounds were clean and inviting, but the real star of the show is the Gulf. Can’t wait to get back.

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.

The condo could not be more perfectly located— overlooking an adorable turtle pond, the beach just steps away, the state park just around the corner, and in between the two adorable towns of Port St. Joe and Apalachicola. Host was kind and responsive. Would love to visit again.

Stocked!

We have vrbo several times. This place was uber clean and stocked. We did have to bring our own beach chairs, but folks tear stuff up. Owner was Johnny on the Spot with communication. Place is much more modern than the pics appear. Give it a shot, you will not be disapppinted. Also has a padded bench in the window which a smaller person could sleep on.

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.
