The condo was just as described. Steve was very easy to work with and quick to re-communicate. The beach and main pool were just steps from the condo. The grounds were clean and inviting, but the real star of the show is the Gulf. Can’t wait to get back.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We had high hopes for this property but left four days early due to unsafe and unsanitary conditions throughout the unit. Upon arrival the unit had not been cleaned — dirty linens and wet towels were on the washer, and the kitchen had almost no supplies. Within minutes of arriving, a deck rocking chair structurally collapsed when I sat in it, causing me to fall and bruise my hip. The chair was clearly deteriorated and should not have been available for guest use.The upstairs shower drains into the kitchen sink below — we later learned from the host’s own cleaner that this was a known issue and repairs had been intentionally scheduled after our checkout, not before. The mold and mildew smell on the stairs was strong enough that the HVAC technicians the host sent also noted it.Other serious concerns: the dryer was packed with lint and posed a fire risk, outside deck outlets had no covers, kitchen outlets near the sink were non-functional, and multiple ceiling areas showed signs of ongoing water damage that had been painted over rather than repaired.In total we documented more than 40 issues with photos and video. The host’s response was slow, and after we offered to leave early to allow repairs, he declined a fair refund. He later claimed we had an undisclosed pet, despite our booking being submitted for 2 adults and 1 dog with no pet fee listed.We have filed complaints with the BBB, Florida Attorney General, and our credit card company. Future guests should be aware.

Wonderful location. Enjoyed local restaurants. Nice exploring in the state park. Couldn't get Keurig to work. Luckily I'd brought my own. Home is clean but outdated. Sofa and chairs have seen better days. Outside furniture rusted and uncomfortable. Bed was great! Loved that big area with bed /bath/w&d. The complex has rat population. Even saying that , we'd stay there again. Steve was always right on top of things.

First time to Cape San Blas and it was excellent. We had an issue with the fridge not cooling but Steve handled it perfectly. Bought a new one and had it delivered the next day which is a difficult thing to get done. We would definitely stay here again.

Helpful host - great property

Barrier Dunes is a wonderful little gated community with easy beach access and a private beach that allows dogs. It's like visiting Florida 40 years ago. We had a lovely stay, and found the place to be well maintained. The owner called to check on us, nd made sure everything was going well for us. Would definitely book again.

We have vrbo several times. This place was uber clean and stocked. We did have to bring our own beach chairs, but folks tear stuff up. Owner was Johnny on the Spot with communication. Place is much more modern than the pics appear. Give it a shot, you will not be disapppinted. Also has a padded bench in the window which a smaller person could sleep on.

The neighborhood was fantastic as always. Amenities are great. Distance to the sand is great! The property appeared clean and most was. Since this is a pet friendly property I would suggest cleaning the carpet on the stairs as there is a faint urine odor. Also when you pull out the couch bed there is pet fur and dirt so maybe the cleaners can get that cleaned out. Bathrooms, kitchen and bedrooms are clean. The floor needs a good deep clean maybe steam it and needs mopped a few times as the doors were pretty dirty. We understand it’s the beach and there is dirt and sand and it’s impossible to get it all. My only other suggestion is for families who cook more than going out like us is a large frying pan, a larger pasta pot and some baking sheets. Just do an updated kitchen inventory. We will always stay at barrier dunes and we would love to return to this unit!

Great getaway.

Property was very comfortable and the location was perfect. This unit had pretty much anything we needed to cook and eat with. Property owner was extremely easy to deal with and was available anytime I sent a message. Will definitely be booking through this owner and hopefully get the same property on our next visit to Port St Joe.

Great family vacation spot

Owner was very responsive, townhouse was very clean and steps from the boardwalk, location on the Cape was perfect. Less crowded/developed than other gulf coast areas but beautiful beaches and water. Sunsets were amazing from the beach. Close by trading post w/groceries, bait and tackle store, seafood market, ice cream, liquor, and a few restaurants gave us everything we needed with no extra developments that we didn’t want to be around. Very peaceful, kids could ride their bikes to the park, long bike trail, and ice cream stores, and plenty of space on the beach to find an open area to surf fish. It was exactly what we were looking for, will try to return again next year.
