We loved our visit to the Cape this year, and our stay in Drew's home was delightful. The home is comfortable, clean and in a fantastic location. The walk to the beach is short, and the beach in this area is gorgeous white sand and picture perfect.The owner, Drew, is responsive and kind. Any issues that came up were dealt with quickly. Communication was excellent. We felt at home, and loved that we could sleep in comfy beds and cook in a great kitchen. (A note - this is probably a given when looking at pics of this home - but if someone considering this place has difficulty with stairs, this would not be an ideal place for you. Otherwise, this is an excellent choice!)Thanks for an excellent stay, Drew! We will be in touch when coming back to the area!

Not sure if by “frills” you mean the house or Cape San Blas generally. We love that Cape San Blas is laid back and has an “old Florida” feel. As far as the house goes. I would like to let others know that we do offer a fully stocked kitchen including crock pot, air fryer, blender etc. Also free to use at the house are beach towels, a fishing style beach cart, coolers, plenty of free beach chairs, and a free paddle board.

Booked the trip to take our dog to the beach. Very easy to get to and from the beach. Place had everything we needed. Had to be careful on the decks as they are worn down, but otherwise would stay there again.

Minnesotan review

Had a great month at your Barrier Dunes home. The home is tastefully and comfortably decorated. Comfortable beds. Place is well equipped. Love the complex. Quiet, safe, very family friendly, very dog friendly. The beach in front is stunning, can walk for literally miles. Owner was very accessible. We had a few unavoidable issues and he did everything he could to resolve them in a timely fashion. Would definitely return in the future.

Great property and location

We had a fantastic stay! The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, which really made the difference. The property itself was even bigger than the pictures and perfect for our family of six. The location was unbeatable – just a short walk to the beach, pool, and tennis courts. Plus, the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Cape San Blas has a spotty cell/internet service which helped us disconnect from the world and was a blessing

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Sanders

Host profile image
We are the Sanders family. We are Florida residents currently living in Destin, FL. We recently retired from the United States Army after 20 years of service. I am now working as a contractor with the United States Airforce, and my wife does the real work at home. Our family is excited to host you. Your vacation and memories are important to us. We will do every thing we can to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Why they chose this property

We are a family renting you our home. We are not a big vacation rental company who treats you, and the people who care for the property like a number. We have a personal relationship with our cleaners and ensure they earn a living wage. We care about your experience and want to make sure you have as stress free a vacation as possible. The house is fully stocked including beach chairs, floats, and toys. We are parents, we understand how much it takes to travel with kids. We put a Pack in Play in the house so you don't have to travel with one. We also put baby gates in the house so that if you have small children you can put up the gates so you don't have to worry about them climbing the stairs.

What makes this property unique

We are on the high desirable north end of the cape very close to the gate of one of the top State parks in all of Florida.
