Thank you so much for all of your help in scheduling this trip! We had an absolutely wonderful time. The condo was so nice and clean, it had everything we could have asked for and it truly felt like home. We were all really impressed with how lovely the condo and beach were. The beach was fantastic, not too crowded and very pristine. We enjoyed taking walks on the beach with the pups and shelling, along with just spending hours being lazy and watching the waves roll in while we relaxed on the beach. To top of an incredible vacation, my sister and her boyfriend got engaged while we were there! I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed ourselves and how nice the condo and area were. We are already talking about booking with you again next year, hopefully for an even longer stay!! I personally forgot to take pictures (I never remember to take pictures!) but I will check with everyone else and email you any pictures we have of the dogs enjoying the beach. Thank you again for all of your help and hospitality! I look forward to returning to the Cape soon!!
We had such a great time at the Cape over Christmas! This is our 4th Christmas coming down to the cape and the condo was one of the nicest we have stayed in! The amenities were great and the furniture and beds were very comfortable!! When we first walked into the condo it had such a nice and cozy feel to it. It was clean and well taken care of. The pond view was great and it was fun feeding the turtles off the deck. It was also great that there was a boardwalk right across the street that took us directly to the beach! The beach chairs and the beach cart were one of the best amenities that the condo had!! It made taking everything we wanted to take down to the beach very easy!
It was also nice that the weather was beautiful while we were there. We had almost two weeks of sunny and 70 degrees! We had such a relaxing and fun time at the cape. The next time we come down to the Cape, we will definitely be renting from you again! Thank you for providing such a great place for us to enjoy our vacation at!
Cape Escape II was wonderful! We loved being right on the lake. Being morning people, we would get up and watch the sunrise off the back deck. Lots of turtles in the lake and we enjoyed feeding then. They would anticipate us when we came out on the back deck and all start swimming over. The home was beautifully decorated and we liked that it was an end unit. It had everything you could imagine…we didn’t even get everything out of our car once we had a look around! It was VERY clean, which we really appreciated!
We are so glad we found Cape San Blas for the 1st time. The beaches are beautiful. We have been going to Destin and loved the fact there was no crowds. Restaurants were close and we enjoyed the convenience stores on the Cape when we needed something.
Thank you for answering all of our questions before our trip since we haven’t been to Cape San Blas before. Once we arrived, the guest information book was VERY thorough and we enjoyed doing some of the things that were covered in the book. Was nice to have all that information there and not have to research the area or do internet research. We will definitely be back again!
We had an amazing time at the Cape! The weather and beach were truly beautiful! Thank you so much for ensuring the condo was clean and well stocked! We found it very easy to just arrive and start having fun! We ate twice at Coneheads and found the hamburgers were delicious! Our 3 year old loved getting ice cream there and we would ride our bikes back and forth from the condo. My husband and I are trying to find time to come back later in summer.
Thanks for all your help making our vacation amazing!
This was our 1 year wedding anniversary trip. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer place and people. It was incredibly stress free & relaxing. We had the beach almost entirely to ourselves. This condo had everything we could have ever needed. It was so quiet which was perfect for us.
It was nice to find a place so nice and accepting our dogs with no breed restrictions.
We weren’t here an hour before we discussed a return trip and sent pics to family as a suggested destination. I like this place—can’t wait to come back. Thank you for a wonderfully relaxing and rejuvenating trip!
I just loved the decorating at the condo (Barrier Dunes 67 – Cape Escape I). We all agreed that it looked so natural and cheerful. We especially like the casual blue denim fabric on the couches and the beaches bedspreads. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed and the grill started right up so we felt at home pretty quickly. Lucy, our lab, loved the ocean and was exhausted, so was easy to manage in the new environment.
We rented bikes from Scallop Cove and enjoyed biking in the state park and on the bike path towards Port St. Joe. My husband got hooded on the donut stand (this is at the Trading Post).
Leslie is an artist and May 1 – 10 there was a county wide Plein Air art event going on, so we really enjoyed going to the exhibits and meeting artist outdoors painting in Apalachicola and seeing the web room at WindMark beach. We also enjoyed the year-round art galleries in Apalachicola, especially the Bowery. Leslie liked Tamara’s Cafe in Apalach so we ate there twice.
The vacation was really about the beach, which was lovely. Evan loved playing Frisbee on the sandbar, 50 feet out. We saw dolphins, a manta ray and pelican. All Lucy, our lab cared about was fetching balls out of the ocean. She was obsessed. The whole dog culture at Barrier Dunes was fun.
Beautiful vacation. Lovely beach, pools and tennis courts. Lovely grounds and friendly people!
Thank you so much Wendy! We enjoyed our stay so much! We were very impressed with the grounds, how clean and pretty everything was. We liked our condo and would love to come back! WE didn’t do anything except hang on the beach all day, we bought fresh seafood and cooked at the condo. We came to relax and do nothing! Exactly what we wanted.
Thanks so much for everything and I hope we can get there again this year!
We had been wanting to plan a trip to take our 7 year old dog Riley to the beach over Thanksgiving, and Barrier Dunes was perfect for what we were looking for. Wendy was great at answering our questions & providing recommendations. Riley loved the beach & the unit conveniently had pet towels & an outdoor hose to rinse her off after our walks on the beach. The complex also had pet stations throughout which was very helpful.
There are so many activities on the Cape to enjoy. We made smores by our beach bonfires at night, went kayaking, and saw some amazing dunes in the St. Joseph Peninsula State Park. We loved that our unit provided a lot that you would normally have to buy such as dish detergent & hand soap. Everyone at Barrier Dunes was very friendly & we will definitely be coming back & recommend to others : )
We enjoyed exploring/visiting Cape San Blas and only wish we had more time. The Cape Escape community is wonderful and felt super welcoming. We loved the local Trading Post for groceries (amazing selection for its size), t shirts and yummy cookies. Obviously, walking the beach, bird watching, and swimming were enjoyed by our family. Coming out of a Vermont winter, 70 degree water didn’t feel too bad! I found having the two pools and tennis courts at Barrier Dunes a bonus as well. Though we really never felt a need to leave the Cape, exploring fun shops in Port St. Joe and Apalachicola one cloudy, rainy day was a great diversion. I love to cook, so getting your recommendation of a the local seafood market meant we didn’t go out to dinner at all!
Hopefully we will make another trip back and think we might look into flying to Tallahassee since it is only two hours away.
Best to you and thank you for being so accommodating. I hope we can rent something from you again!
Had an amazing time at your place , it was very clean and very accommodating. The cape is very family oriented and pet friendly which made it very special to be able to bring our four legged baby..I truly enjoyed the visit there, life is about making memories and we definitely made a few. My son got engaged on the beach at sundown and the event was amazing!!! Looking forward to coming back real soon…Thank you again!!!
