Dog-Friendly·Gulf Views· Steps to White Sand Beach
Cape San Blas is one of Florida's most treasured sea turtle nesting beaches, and Turtle Tracks was named in their honor. This dog-friendly end-unit townhome in the gated Barrier Dunes community earns its name with three separate Gulf-view decks — one on the main level, one off the king master suite, and one off the queen bedroom — so every guest in the house has their own front-row seat to the Cape San Blas sunset. Ninety steps from your back deck to the beach. Cute artistic touches and dog leash hooks in the foyer because details and dogs both matter here. And a king master suite that does everything right: garden tub, separate shower, dedicated desk, and the kind of Gulf view that makes you want to stay one more day.
🌊 90 steps from the back deck to the beach walkover 🐶 Dog-friendly with pet fee. Dogs only—no other animals permitted. 🌅 Three Gulf-view decks — main level, king suite & queen bedroom, so everyone watches the sunset 🛁 King master suite with garden tub, separate shower, double-sink vanity 💻 Dedicated desk area in the king suite — remote work with a Gulf view 🐢 Named for Cape San Blas's famous sea turtle nesting beaches — keep an eye out at dawn 🏊 Access to gulf-front and interior community pools in Barrier Dunes 🎾 Tennis and pickleball courts nearby 🚗 2-car covered carport + stocked beach gear cabinet 🏄 Beach cart, beach chairs, cooler, buckets & shovels included 💳 $35/day credit toward beach gear rentals (stays of 3–21 nights) 🌐 High-speed WiFi + Smart TV in every bedroom 🍳 Fully equipped kitchen with Keurig, drip coffee maker, spice rack & extra grocery storage 👶 Pack 'n Play and high chair available 🔒 Gated Barrier Dunes community — quiet, private & beautifully maintained
Cape San Blas is one of those rare places where the pace of vacation genuinely slows you down — and Turtle Tracks makes it easy to let it. The day might start early, if you're lucky, with fresh sea turtle tracks crossing the sand to the Gulf. More likely it starts with coffee on the main deck, the Gulf catching the morning light, the dog already at the back door ready to go. Ninety steps and you're there. Days at Turtle Tracks drift between the beach, the community pools, and the satisfying routine of a place that simply works: the kitchen is well-stocked and organized, the laundry room has a folding counter and stool so you're not crouching on the floor, the foyer has artistic hooks for bags and leashes right where you need them. By evening, both the king suite deck and the queen bedroom deck are competing for the best sunset view — the answer is that they're both spectacular, and different guests will stake their claim on their favorite. Turtle Tracks. Follow them to the water.
The main level is bright and open — fully stocked kitchen with extra grocery storage, breakfast bar with two barstools, bay window seat, dining area, and a generous living room with queen sleeper sofa flowing onto the large Gulf-view deck with gas grill and outdoor dining. The queen guest bedroom with its own Gulf-view sunset balcony and full bath is conveniently on this level.
