Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle B. 16 Apr 2018 #### Perfect location in Barrier Dunes My family truly enjoyed every minute of our stay in "Gulf Breeze" on Cape San Blas. I traveled with my husband, two kids (ages 6 and 9), my parents, and our dog. While I thought it would be nice to have tennis and pools available, the weather was so nice and we only used them once or twice. We mostly spent our time on the beach which is beautiful with white sand and pretty water. My parents stayed in Port St. Joe the week before and have consistently noted that Cape San Blas has the pretty sand and water and also has way more shells! We also really enjoyed the turtle pond in Barrier Dunes. Tons of turtles big and tiny come up to say hi. We rented bikes for one day but wish we had them all week because the condos are conveniently located near the State Park and an easy ride to Coneheads where we liked to get Blue Bell ice-cream. We had a fire on the beach twice and loved having our dog with us. Condo was set with everything needed. The kids loved the loft but be prepared to hunch over when up there. Perfect for kids though. The stairs to the loft slightly terrified me only because if kids wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom on the floor below then they need to be able to see. We just left the hallway light on for this reason and it was fine. Also the draws aren't great in the rooms but minor con. We saw quite a few snakes while there too! Kinda freaky, kinda cool! We also saw dolphins almost every day, multiple kinds of crabs, and someone caught a 5'5" shark!! This unit is in a perfect spot, you can still see the water and it is a short walk to the beach but you save some $$$ by not being directly on the beach. Beach cart was great for moving chairs from the carport to the beach each day. Carport is tight but we made it work. Also the beach is more crowded because of the condos but did not bother us as everyone is friendly and still beats the crowds typical for beaches like Ft. Myers. If you want to feel secluded then rent a house. Visit Apalachicola if you need a break from the beach, cute town on the water with lots of fun shops and good restaurants. There are a couple restaurants on the Cape but we only ate out twice the entire week! Catching fish on the beach helped : ) All in all a fantastic vacation and would highly recommend!! ##### Michelle B. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol S. 23 May 2017 #### Perfect Florida Getaway This is the 3rd time I have booked through Cape Escape Vacation Rentals. If you go to Cape San Blas you must book through this company. Wendy is ALWAYS available and will handle any concern immediately. This kind of customer service is hard to find and makes your vacation the dream you have been anticipating. We always book ocean front, but this time we chose ocean view, number 15 - Gulf Breeze. WOW! this unit was a corner unit that was so convenient to the beach or the pool. The decor, the lighting, the deck, everything was perfect. We loved it and will probably book it again next year. Thank you for taking care of us Wendy. You are the best. ##### Carol S. This review was submitted before 2018 and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 4 Sept 2016 #### The beach was beautiful, the townhouse was clean, spacious & comfy. We plan to return! This was our first year staying on "the forgotten coast", we certainly hope it stays that way. The beach is absolutely beautiful, clear water and very uncrowded beach almost like having a private beach. We have been vacationing along the gulf coast for over 25 years this year was our very favorite .From the very first contact Wendy made the planning for our vacation easy responding promptly to our questions. The pictures on the website are very accurate in representing the town home, community and beach. The townhouse was clean, spacious and comfortable. When we vacation we love to buy fresh seafood cook in the evenings. The kitchen in is an ideal place for cooking as it is spacious and well equipped. We plan to return next year and for many more! Thank you Wendy, for making this the best vacation on the gulf ever!!

This was our second consecutive year to Cape San Blas via the Barrier Dunes and booking through Wendy. This year like last was a blast. We did a whole lot less this year as far as the area attractions are concerned. We brought most everything we needed with us and didn’t get out of the house too much. It rained a lot. That did not keep us from the beach however. We had a blast the entire time. Wendy and Soni responded to every question and concern we had while we were there and they did so with a quickness. We will definitely be coming back. We brought our two Border Collies with us and they had an absolute scream and never wanted to leave the beach. The word “beach” is now solidified in their minds with the Barrier Dunes at Cape San Blas. My 3-year-old son couldn’t get enough of any of it. Between the pool, the beach itself, and the other kids there tooling around in the sand and surf he was in bliss. It truly is one of the greatest family getaways we have known. The only drawback is that the time goes by way too quickly in the Cape. We will try and amend that on our next pass with a much longer stay!

The owner is very easy to deal with. All communications I sent to her were responded to very quickly and satisfactorily. The unit itself, 555, is nicely stocked with everything you need to get your beach visit started - even coffee, sugar, and creamer! Beach chairs are provided, which is a huge plus to me - one less thing to haul from home! My favorite thing about Barrier Dunes, and Cape San Blas, is that they are pet friendly! We love taking our dogs to the beach, instead of having to board them! There are pet stations situated conveniently throughout the property with plenty of garbage cans. You will be surprised how clean this pet friendly destination is! Can't wait til our next trip to Barrier Dunes! ##### Ellen S. ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle D. 30 Nov 2025 ##### Michelle D.
