The townhouse has been newly carpeted and is meticulously maintained. Internet connection and  a TV in every room allows you to keep in touch with family and friends. To help you enjoy the good life a gas BBQ is on the living room porch. With wonderful sights of glorious sunsets, life does not get any better. than this. At night you can hear the ocean waves while sitting on the deck gazing at the stars. A spacious loft that kids describe as  awesome  has 3 twin beds, a TV, DVD, Puzzles, Books and Games. This becomes the kids own secret and special space with room to lie on the floor or use the sofa sitting area. The master bedroom suite has a king- size bed and a porch overlooking the fishing pond. The second bedroom suite has a queen-size bed with bath and its own deck with chairs.

The Barrier Dunes Community has 2 swimming Pools one of them heated,  Tennis Courts and a Kids Playground. The Cape has a 4 mile long Bicycle path and places to rent Canoes, Scooters, Boats and Beach Gear. The nearby towns of Port St.Joe and Apalachicola have great restaurants, great shopping and historic museums. Panama City has a water park that is a favorite activity for families to experience.

Great Location in Perfect Beach Community

On the Road Again (Atlanta, GA)
Review submitted: September 12, 2011   Date of arrival: September 8, 2011

We stayed in Barrier Dunes years ago and couldn't wait to come back with our 2 labs. This condo is in a great location, very close to the beach, pools, tennis courts and a big grassy area with a pet waste station. In about 2 minutes, you're on the beach...which is amazing. Pure white sand, clear water, no sea grass.

The condo was perfect for us as we were 4 adults with our 4 large dogs. There was plenty of room and it never felt too crowded. The large deck out back overlooks the pond which is very nice and peaceful compared to other condo views. The deck had 2 very nice lounge chairs. The kitchen/bathrooms, decor and furniture were a bit outdated and not as beautifully decorated as the last condo we stayed at in BD, but it worked for us, so no complaints there. The beds were also very comfortable.

The only downside to the condo were a couple things that were lacking: there was currently no wifi available (which we had planned on having and were not told beforehand that we wouldn't have), there was less than a full roll of toilet paper in each bathroom (with no extras), there was only a half a roll of paper towels in the kitchen, no kitchen trash bags, and there was no dishwasher detergent. Because of this, we had to make a trip out to the store to buy all these necessities that we typically expect to be supplied for us (at least in a small quantity).

I would though recommend this condo to anyone, especially with dogs. A couple things I'd recommend bringing are: baby gate to close top of stairs off deck if you have dogs/kids and an umbrella or canopy tent for shade at beach. There were about 4 beach chairs at the condo to use as well as buckets/shovels for kids.

Also, we rented a pet-friendly pontoon boat on St. Joseph Bay one day with Seahorse Water Safaris that I would absolutely recommend. While in the bay, we saw dolphins, sting rays, sea turtles, jelly fish, etc. We took the boat around the whole bay, stopping and swimming on the sand bars which were about 1.5 feet deep so the dogs could almost stand. We also took the boat to the tip of the peninsula which was beautiful. It was such a fun day.

We absolutely love Cape San Blas and very much recommend staying at Barrier Dunes. You will be very happy and not want to leave!

Best Bech trip EVER

Jennifer (Louisville, Ky)
Review submitted: July 16, 2011   Date of arrival: September 25, 2010

My family stayed here last September and it was the most amazing vacation I've ever been on! The townhome is perfect, the beach is perfect, the shells are unbelievable and the price is so reasonable!
We walked the beach for hours each day with our dogs (Standard Poodles). We cooked all of our meals so I can't say anything about the dining lol. We even had a campfire on the beach one night.
Maria is wonderful to work with. I highly recommend staying here. I'm looking forward to our trip this September! We plan on renting a pontoon for a day this trip and hopefully a horseback ride along the beach.
Thanks again Maria for sharing your home! Jennifer Fisher and Family

Perfect in every way!

Becca (Jasper, TN)
Review submitted: June 21, 2011   Date of arrival: May 31, 2011

On the way down to Cape San Blas my husband declared it was the worst vacation ever....bear in mind, it was an 8 1/2 hour drive and he had worked all night prior to us leaving. No sleep and hungry. As we drove through the gates he perked up a little. We unloaded the car with him complaining the whole time. We hooked up the grill and cooked some burgers and had a lovely dinner on the back deck overlooking the pond. Needless to say his attitude changed completely. The townhouse is peaceful and decorated in a lovely casual beach theme. The community is just wonderful and very pet friendly. The beds are comfortable and the townhouse was clean. We have never enjoyed a vacation more. My husband proclaimed the next morning that it was the best vacation ever. We will be back next year!
