Pam Urban, December 2009
We had a wonderful time and are already looking at the calendar for a 2010 visit. Paradise was beautiful and the people were welcoming. Cape San Blas is just what we were looking for in a vacation. Both of our dogs loved their morning walks on the beach as much as we did.
We wish you a peaceful and joyous New Year!
Clint and Sarah Calvert, August 2009 (Repeat Guest)
Thank you for checking in and for the speedy return on the deposit. We had a great stay with you, minus the storm (Camille). We really enjoy "Paradise" and decided that's the best way to stay on the Cape -- directly on the beach! Our 17 month old had a blast playing in the sand and the ocean. Clint caught a bunch of fish -- even went fishing in the rain a few times...though we did not try the dip recipe, but wil next time.
Thank you for all your help -- and we will be back next year again :o)
Bill McAweeney, April 2009
We had a great time. It (Barrier Dunes 11) was a great location and very comfortable condo. I will definitely contact you when we plan for the next trip to Cape San Blas. Thanks for everything.
Bonnie and Hugh McConnachie, February 2009
Everyone loved our vacation. The kids, the dogs and Hugh and I. It was amazing. What a lovely place. Thanks to Donna for the tennis rackets. That was really nice of her and her kids. Yes, we are planning on booking for 2010 for 2 weeks, probably the last week in February and first week in March or last 2 in February and we would like Barrier Dunes 11 again. Hugh and I are retired so time is not a problem, but the kids will have to look at their calendars.
Ryan & Marina Howley, February 2009
We loved our time at the Cape. The house was very nice and cozy and the beach was just beautiful. I was impressed by all the wild life and nature in the area. We saw lots of dolphins, pelicans, birds and even an armadillo. We thought that was amazing. Our Golden, Lua, had a wonderful time and had lots of fun. She loves to swim and chase the ball so she just had teh perfect time at the beach. Thank you!!!!
Lua, golden retriever, discovered there were great places to enjoy a beach sunseet all over Barrier Dunes 11!
Sue Arnspiger, September 2008
We had a great time. The dogs loved the beach, first time for both of them!
Tom Gibbs, August 2008 (Roanoke, VA)
We had THE BEST time! The weather was perfect and the place was just beautiful. We had looked so long to find a place where we could take our dog-- ended up not going at all last summer as we could not find anything close to the beach that allowed pets. She truly believes she is one of us, so leaving her behind just was not an option. We were so excited to see how she would like swimming in the ocean and she LOVED it! Stepping out our back door and being on the beautiful Gulf was a real paradise!
We "shelled" each morning, what wonderful shells...we saw something new every day. My father is from Pensacola so I was familiar with the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters...but is always amazing to see how pretty it is when you've been away from it. But where can you find such a beautiful location and now crowds?!? We were so impressed with the solitude and quiet area -- no high-rises, Walmarts, tourist traps, etc. I so glad TS Faye did not do any damage to the area.
The guest guide was so helpful -- especially the restaurant guides and what to do sections. Enjoyed Sunset Grille and Loggerhead especially -- fabulous food and such friendly owners. In fact, everyone we met the entire week was so nice and friendly. We all so appreciated being able to bring ALL our family, and I was amazed how clean the beaches and town home was. Everyone's pets were so well behaved and most folks we spoke to were repeat visitors...as we will now become! We did go into Apalachicola and enjoyed shopping around their adorable shops and want to go to St. George next time.
It was a real benefit to have chairs, boogie boards, Frisbees etc., already in the townhouse. It just could not have been better furnished -- everything we needed was there. We enjoyed grilling fresh seafood one night so we could stay out on the beach late. Several evenings folks had bonfires and it was just beautiful to sit out and walk on the beach at night.
Thank you for all you did to make our week so very special. We will definitely be in touch as soon as we have dates lined up for next summer...if not before! You have been absolute delight to work with (although I knew a Hokie would!!) and we really appreciate all you did to get us set for a wonderful week.
Thanks again -- it was absolutely perfect in every way!!
Carey Beavers, August 2008
We had a great time and would love to come back!
Sharon Tolleson, June 2008
We did have a great week! The weather was great and the water was beautiful. We were able to spend every day on the beach and at the pool. You'll be my first contact next year!
Laurie Walker, June 2008
We all had the most wonderful time and want to go back again. We had 1 morning of rain and the rest of the days were wonderful. Even the rain was great. Larry spent most of his time fishing and he got some whiting and we had a fish fry our last day there and then a bonfire and Monica played the guitar and we sang. The sky was so clear we could see the stars and there was a slight breeze. Totally awesome!
If I win the lottery I am buying a condo or beach house there. The dogs had a wonderful time and enjoyed their walks and meeting other dogs. Monica had Pixie shitzu in the ocean and she actually enjoyed it rolling in the sand. There was a nice standard poodle there and some other nice dogs, including a 9 mo cute little shitzu. Next to us in the condo was a golden lab mix and she was a nice dog.
I prefer the Cape to Hawaii by far! We took out noodles in the water and bobbed around the waves and then would bob out again and bob back. The water was so warm and we got tons of shells. All 6 of us had a great time. In the morning it was relaxing in front of the Gulf waters drinking our coffee and we would end up at night sitting out there too. We really enjoyed being right on the beach--it made such a difference.
Thank you for taking such good care of the properties. How can I enjoy the rest of the summer when all I want to do is go back there? Thanks for the quick return of the deposit!
Russell Brown, Mexico Beach, FL, April 2008
We had such a great time! The condo was beautiful. It was a great escape! It was just what we needed. We'll come back for sure and stay longer next time. Thanks so much!
Marcus and Marilyn Looker, March 2008
It was really fabulous, thank you so much! We loved it! Perfect for our family. Everyone in our party is just RAVING about it! Beautiful home!
Jane Forfar, Repeat Guest. March 2008
We had a great time at the beach. The house was perfect, clean and had everything we needed. We had a couple of rough days weather wise, but I loved lying in bed listening to the ocean. We didn't take many pictures, mainly of our 2 poodles, Wee Joe and Pinot.
Michelle Clayton, February 2008
Thank you so much for everything, including the quick deposit refund. You are so on top of things. Paradise was just that -- paradise. My only complaint was my trip was too short. But hey, a couple of days at the beach is better than no days at the beach. Dakotah loved it. He was like a small kid -- begging to go back out anytime we were inside the condo. Getting there later than planned on Wednesday night I missed the sunset, however the next 2 were beautiful. I am sure you get many sunset pictures that you are sick of them, but I have sent a couple anyway. The 2 we enjoyed were so different, but both so beautiful. Dakotah even enjoyed th e sunsets.
Please pass on to the owners that us pet lovers really do appreciate the pet friendly accommodations. That is the feature that drew me to the Cape and it will bring me back. I am glad you guys realize that some four legged children are better behaved than some of the two legged ones. :-) Please also let the owners know that you do a spectacular job at managing the property. Your efficiency and helpfulness are both way above what is expected. I will recommend your properties every opportunity I have!
Michelle's rottwieler, Dakotah, enjoyed the beach & sand right to the tip of his nose!
Mike, Tracy & Riley (Border Collie), February 2008
I received my deposit check in the mail today. Thanks for the quick refund.
Our week at the Cape was wonderful! Mike and I haven't stopped talking about it since we've been home. The location and the atmosphere was just what we were hoping for. We especially appreciated the well stocked and cared for town home and the great views from all 3 gulf front decks. The pet friendly accommodations and beaches allowed us to bring our border collie, Riley, with us and he is now officially a "beach dog". He dug for crabs in the sand, fished with Mike and "herded" the waves all week. He was hilarious to watch and Mike and I realized, in lou of sheep, living at the beach may be the next best thing for Riley!!!! And us too....
Thanks for all the things Donna ran out to us the first day. They made our stay even more enjoyable. And thanks for all the wonderful information you provided to us before and during our stay. Your courteous, prompt and professional nature put the icing on the cake for us! We will be returning to the Cape in the future.
Thanks for everything!
Dawn Kmiec, February 2008
Last week (in Cape San Blas) was the first week of a three week vacation with the dogs. We have spent this week in Key West where the dogs have been on a leash all week in crowds and in our rental, which cost more than the Cape and is the size of our laundry room at home.
We completely enjoyed the quiet atmosphere last week and the condo was great with all of our "away from home needs". We had many shrimp dinners on the deck overlooking the gulf...
Thanks again!
Mike and Lesley de Rosayro, February 2008
We had a great time and certainly plan on going back next year, maybe for 2 weeks! Will be in touch!
Dana Brown, December 2007
We enjoyed our time at the Cape very much. It was 8 p.m. when we arrived so we were "in the dark" as to what the beach looked like, but we could hear it. The next morning my husband and I took Rosie (Aussie Shepherd) and Angel (Mini Dachshund) for their walk. We were both in awe of how white the sand is and that no one else was on the beach. Rosie kept looking at the waves and whining. She couldn't understand why the big bowl of water was moving! Angel was not impressed at all with the sand (yuck, it didn't taste good) or the water! What do you expect from a diva dog!
We found the most beautiful shells and even sand dollars (16 of them) the day after a night time rainstorm. Our daughter didn't care that the water was cold, she walked in waist deep. Our son stood near the water so I could take his picture and a wave snuck up on him knee deep!
The sunsets were amazing, especially from the master bedroom balcony. The few people we met on the beach were very friendly and they all greeted our pets too! The date before leaving we all went on one last shell hunt. After coming back we were climbing the steps over the dunes and I turned to look back and just over my daughter's shoulder I saw 3 dolphins surface for air. She didn't believe me at first, but then she saw them too. That has to be my most treasured memory.
We would lovet o return to Barrier Dunes in the future! Next time I think we'll try the summertime.
Teresa Hinkle, November 2007
Thanks for the quick refund! Our visit to the Cape was just what we needed! This was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun and sand! Weather was great -- 70's in the day and cool at night!
Our dog, Parker, really enjoyed his first vacation as well. Made lots of friends and enjoyed the beach very much.
The accommodations were beyond our expectations! I honestly expected them to be a bit "rough" considering the fact that you allow furry friends, and we were frankly shocked at how clean, nice and well stocked the townhouse was! It was great to walk off the deck and straight to the beach!
Speaking of beach---what a great beach it is! Deserves the kudos it has received! I just referred your Barrier Dunes rentals to a friend! Happy holidays!
