Great house

We stayed at Barrier Dunes six times now and love the area. Beautiful beaches, great pools and tennis courts. This is the first time we stayed at Caretta Cottage and we really liked it - lots of room and laid out well. We did have concerns about the cleanliness - the window sills were dusty and full of dead bugs, there were some dead bugs on the floor. The bathroom (not master) had glass shelving that was very dusty and the shower glass door lower hinge area was black with dirt/mold. Kitchen cabinets had dried, sticky drippings on the front of them. Overall the cottage needs a major decluttering - lots of "stuff" jammed into storage areas. The beach chairs, etc. were just in a pile under the back porch and mostly unusable. We would definitely rent it again, but would like to see some cleaning, decluttering and maintenance done on the property.

Great Villa!

This was our fifth vacation to Cape San Blas, and our third in Barrier Dunes. The location is wonderful. The house had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation.

A hidden gem place

We booked last minute and were so very lucky to find accommodations above and beyond any expectations. The place was fully stocked, clean, and in an unbeatable location. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful beach getaway

We come to the Cape every year and this would have to be the best trip here yet. The house was great. The kitchen was well equipped, had high quality dishware, etc. The master bedroom suite was very comfortable. It was nicely decorated throughout the home. We loved that the house has a little side yard for dog potty breaks. We enjoyed all the wildlife, from turtles in the pond in the backyard to the tiny frogs you can spot around the porch, to the crane sauntering down the middle of the street early one morning! And there was no shortage in the water either, having seen dolphins at close range and even a manatee when on the paddle board. We appreciated having a laundry room directly off the kitchen and the kids enjoyed having their own space upstairs. The walk to the beach truly is only 5 minutes (I timed it!) though it seems like it would be longer. And a true bonus in my eyes is the boardwalk down to the beach is a ramp and not stairs! This was very convenient for hauling our cart of stuff. Overall everybody in our family loved this vacation and the house was a big part of that. We would 10 out of 10 rent this house again.
