Surrounded by the pristine waters of the upper Gulf of Mexico, this “All INCLUSIVE PARADISE” awaits you. The Cape San Blas peninsula is a nature lovers dream. Flanked on one side by the beautiful emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico and on the other by the alluring wildlife filled waters of St Joseph Bay. We have designed this vacation getaway to include practically everything a family could ever want in a vacation full of fun, sun and adventure. Nestled in the heart of Barrier Dunes, a beautifully manicured waterfront gated community, "Emerald Breeze", your vacation home sits just 20 steps from one of the 2 pools, 40 steps from the tennis courts and a short (500ft) walk on the boardwalk that runs directly to the beach. "Emerald Breeze" is a meticulously maintained end unit, sitting virtually on the edge of one of the 3 stocked ponds. In the kitchen is every appliance you could ever want, including a KitchenAid mixer, Toaster Oven, Ninja Blender and Smoothie maker, automatic coffee pot, and of course, all the regular things you have at home. Loads of dishes, silverware, glasses, utensils and spices for any feast. We promise, we are cooks, so everything you need to prepare, serve and store your meals is there. The whole house is equipped with flat screen TV’s in every room, even a 50” in the master bedroom. The master bedroom has a terrific king size bed and a Futon that folds out into a full size bed. Your own private computer desk with a brand new Gateway computer with an "Emerald Breeze" guest log in, for clearing up any forgotten loose ends at home. Master bath boasts a large separate shower and garden tub, twin bowls and plenty of towels. Master bedroom also has its own private balcony overlooking the lovely pond just a mere 5 feet away. Oh, and did I mention a 50” flat screen. The 2nd bedroom has a brand new full over full bunk bed, completely redecorated in beautiful colors. It also has its own small, but private deck, overlooking the pool and boardwalk to the beach. The 2nd bath has a shower/tub combination. A nice size living room with a foldout queen sofa bed (for extra guests) services the main floor. The living room is equipped with a 39” flat screen, Brand new Blue Ray/DVD player, Nintendo Wii with 2 controllers, WiFi internet, Digital phone service with free nationwide long distance, and Digital cable HDTV service. The Rear deck overlooks the pond that is just 5 feet away, with table and chairs, a New Gas Grill and some room and privacy to relax. Upstairs is the Laundry Center with baskets and detergent. A linen closet with all the sheets, bed linens and towels for the whole gang to use is tucked away upstairs also. Oh, and before I forget, an AWESOME outside private shower!!!

It has 3 beautiful stocked ponds that are loaded with Bass and the biggest blue gills you have ever seen in your life. Also there is a very nice playground for the little ones. The whole grounds resemble a park like setting. Lets talk about bringing your boat!!!!!!!!! If you love to boat, fish, and sight see, this vacation paradise has it ALL. Dropping your boat in the blue waters of the bay instantly opens up endless opportunities. You can start fishing 200 feet from the boat launch and enjoy grass flats loaded with Sea Trout, Flounder, Redfish, Spanish Mackerel and other tasty Florida species. Or go out another 1/2 mile in the middle of the bay and anchor your boat on one of the 100's of tidal sand flats and observe Sand Dollars, sea urchins, crabs, starfish, sea horses, sting rays, bay scallops, hermit crabs, horse conchs and loads of other species in their natural environment. The bay is a ecological wonderland packed full of wildlife and diversity. You can literally beach your boat and step foot on the sand where no one has stepped in days or weeks. Its like you own the beach. There is where the shell collecting begins and maybe never ends. Also a good spot to throw a line in the water for the beach cruising Bull Red's, Pompano, Mackerel and Kings. The bay is also loaded with bottlenose dolphin with pods all over the place. They are not too shy and usually get close enough for great pictures and lots of squeals from the kids on board. Hold your ears if there are babies in the pod. They are so cute you can't stand it. If you ever can get your family back to the harbor, they have two excellent fish cleaning stations right at the dock. The Barrier Dunes boat parking is just 300 feet away from your front door. It is well lighted and very safe and secure. There is also a fresh water wash out station for your boat right there. "This will be a trip to remember"

We had a great time on our vacation. We were right next to community pool and tennis courts, and a very short walk to the gulf. We would definitely stay here again.

We always have a great time at emerald breeze! He has everything you may need. It is so nice not to have to crate all our own beach stuff traveling.
We love coming to the cape!
This was our first time to Cape San Blas but it will not be our last.
This condo had wonderful amenities and we loved being so close to the ocean and pool.
Ken was very responsive to questions and the place really felt at home.
Thanks!

Our 2nd time to the cape and better than we remembered!!!!
Our 2nd time to the cake and it was better than we remembered! All beach supplies were already there for us! We spent every morning at the beach and the some evening at the national park at the end of the cape searching for seashells. We even did a fire on the beach one night it was very relaxing even with 3 younger kids! Perfect vacation spot and we look forward to going back!

Sounds like you had a great time Casey. Please come back again soon.
We had a wonderful stay here over the Christmas holiday. The condo is well appointed and it's very nice to not have to worry with lugging kayaks, life vests, etc. We used the FL parks pass every day! Short walk to the beach. My son loved the heated pool which is only a few steps from the front door. I highly recommend Ken's properties.

I can't say enough good things about this unit. You will absolutely need anything once you get to the beach. The owners have thought of everything so not only do you get to stay in a squeaky clean condo, you have every single thing you could think of!

Fun in the sun
The house was exactly as described. Had everything you needed and more. Very close proximity to the beach. The beach was never busy and is now on our list of favorite beaches. Kayaking in the bay is a must do. We would recommend eating at Sand Dollar Cafe. Everyone we came in contact with was friendly. We will be visiting again.

Thank you for your kind words Lynette. We are thrilled you enjoyed everything. Isn't the Sand Dollar Marvelous? We also love the place.
Ken was wonderful and communicated everything! We love this place! It has everything imaginable to make the Cape experience even better.
From dishes/spices to boogie boards/kayaks/paddle board and even a Jeep to drive!
Better than 5 stars
Thanks for a great Fall Break, Ken and Family
We can’t wait to come back.

Excellent!! We were very happy with our first experience at St. Joes beach!
Ken was great to work with. He answered all questions we had going into the trip. Also the beach chairs, toys, coolers, umbrellas, and cart to carry things to the beach were a huge help. The house was perfect for our family of 5. We really enjoyed the beaches and the free passes to the state park. It was the perfect getaway for us. We will defiantly come again!

The beautiful cape💜
We had such a wonderful relaxing time at Emerald Breeze. Ken was very accommodating and easy to work with. The convenience of the condo and all the stuff it comes with was much appreciated as we drove from Ohio with our three small children. The heated pool is literally out the front door step, the pond out back was a favorite for our family as they fed the turtles every morning. The beach is a very short walk as we went multiple times a day, fires on the beach were priceless. We will definitely be returning! Thank you for sharing your home with us, love the Taylor’s!

We had an amazing time!
Everything was perfect! Anything and everything imaginable was available for use! We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board in the bay. We brought our boat. The boat parking and state park pass was great. I absolutely loved the convenient beach access and went for walks every day. One day the kids and I walked back from state park on beach. Your townhome is beautiful and spacious. Thank you for your hospitality. Ken could not have been more helpful. Would definitely stay here again!!

About the host
Hosted by Ken Castrucci
After 12 years coming to this magical place, we finally took the plunge and decided we wanted to be a permanent part of it. We would love for "Emerald Breeze" to become your new FAVORITE vacation place. We have done, and will continue to do everything in our power to make that happen for you. Find reviews, contact information and pictures on Facebook at "EMERALD BREEZE"
Why they chose this property
We have been coming to the Cape and Barrier Dunes for 13 years and instantly fell in love with the place. If you go on vacation to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, to relax and spend real quality time with your family, this is the place. If you want to see what real Florida is like, without all the commercialization, look no further. If you want putt-putt, go cart tracks or pinball palaces, this is not the right spot for you. This place, because of its remote location, allows you to connect yourself with nature like virtually no other place in Florida..........
