About this property

Gulf Breeze 1st Tier END UNIT 20 STEPS to Beach* Pools/Tennis * LOTS of EXTRAS

Welcome to beautiful Cape San Blas FL, located along Florida's Forgotten Coast in the Florida Panhandle--50 miles SE of Panama City between Mexico Beach & St. George Island and Apalachicola. We are located on the North end of the Cape just outside the gates to the State Park (where the water is the clearest).

RENTAL HIGHLIGHTS:
* TOTALLY redone inside and out June 2019!
* 1st tier Rental
* End unit
* Gulf views
* 20 steps to the beautiful, pet friendly beaches
* 2BRs with a loft with 3 twins
* AMENITIES GALORE: beach chairs, beach cart, sand toys, laundry detergent, trash bags, dish soap (& other things to make it like home!), WiFi & free long distance.
* STELLAR, HANDS ON SERVICE - as little or as much as you want!! I have owned in Barrier Dunes for 16 years!

Barrier Dunes 15 - Gulf Breeze is just 20 steps off your back deck on a boardwalk to 1 of the prettiest beaches in the world! Enjoy a spacious living room, full kitchen & laundry room, 2 king bedrooms and a loft with 3 twin beds. Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and there is an additional powder room on the main level

You will find it well stocked & well-maintained & ready for you & your family to come enjoy a relaxing beach vacation on Cape San Blas!
Pristine white sand beaches. The last of the 'old Florida' beaches. No crowds or craziness like Panama City!

Barrier Dunes, our gated community, has 2 pools (1 is beach front & 1 heated 4 months of the year), lighted tennis courts, 3 fresh water fishing ponds, playground, boat parking, and pet stations, stone walks and green space throughout. Enjoy the quiet, unspoiled, dog-friendly beaches of the Florida panhandle!

The sugar white sand won't burn your feet, the sand dunes give the setting character, & the gentle gulf waves. The fishing is great, the crabbing & scalloping fun.

The activities abound! From boating, hiking, horseback riding on the beach, beach bonfires, spectacular sunsets (our beaches faces west) and tennis to impromptu socials with the friendly folks that visit Cape San Blas and Barrier Dunes..

All of life becomes casual & fun once you breathe the glorious salt air & let go of what you left behind. Try it & you'll be coming back regularly like most of our guests (see our guest book on our website.
Nestled up to the state park and surrounded by water, it is the perfect place for a nature lovers explorations. Boating, restaurants and other diversions are only minutes away, yet many of our guests never leave Barrier Dunes.

Play tennis, swim in the pools, sunbath on the beach while watching the ever-changing scenes, fish, crab, stir up a card game or read till your heart's content.

Pet lovers are overjoyed at being able to bring along Fido, especially those who like to make an extended stay with us.

We know what it is like not to have what you need when you're on vacation! We try & provide as many of these extras a possible so you are focused on your vacation, family & fun & not on the basics!
We encourage you to catch your own dinner of scallops, crabs or fish & bring along some marshmallows & enjoy more (& a glass of wine) around a beach bonfire or roast hot dogs for dinner!

My goal is to make your stay as good as it gets. To make room for the pooch in your car, we provide every basic essential we can think of (see details on site), but we don't stop there. Imagine a kitchen that is stocked w/spices, crock pot, & crab pot.

Picture yourself not having to pack the car with beach chairs, the boogie board, & beach toys. If you're bringing a younger beach goer...No need to pack the pack and play or high chair! Enjoy a grill on the gulf view deck. Relax to DVD, & games.

** WINNER OF BEST LODGING on the Forgotten Coast by the Port St. Joe Star! **

Don't forget your dog(s)...Cape San Blas beaches are pet-friendly & so are all of our rentals! Large dogs are not a problem! Cape San Blas is regularly ranked the #1 Dog-Friendly Beach in America!

Wonderful!
Views!! You will be pleasantly surprised by the wonderful views from both decks. Condo was exactly as pictured. Very clean. Great dishes in kitchen, so close to beach. Would definitely stay again. Property management was extremely helpful with updates on a couple of random events ( not in their control) .

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!!
