You'll be situated on the St. Joseph Peninsula on St. Joseph Bay with the warm sand and water mere steps away.

Enjoy a cold beverage in the living room while you watch the game or a cable show on the flatscreen TV. Free WiFi is provided for your convenience.

Not as promised
Unfortunately, the rental did not live up to its listing. WiFi and TVs were out upon arrival and after troubleshooting (resetting router, etc) we contacted Vacasa and they could not get a technician to the property until 36 hours later - halfway through our stay. Separately, the lock on the sliding glass door was broken and a flimsy piece of wood in the track was the only way to secure the door. We had a toddler and dog with us otherwise it wouldn’t have bothered us - but kind of a safety issue. Vacasa was alerted but never did anything to remedy the door. Grill was out of propane but it wouldn’t have mattered because ignition switch was busted and it probably hasn’t been cooked on since the 90s. There were several exposed outlets and some mold on the walls likely from excess moisture. Lastly, there was no physical key in the property as promised. Had to call to get a lockbox code we were never provided. I’m not one to typically complain, but when a rental requests you to run the dish washer, strip the sheets, and take out the trash before you checkout - on top of paying a significant cleaning fee - you would expect basic amenities would be as promised. People don’t go on vacation to play IT technician.

Rent another unit. This one needs love. Spots on furniture. the fire detector wouldn't stop beeping. the dishes in the cabinet were dirty. Curtains do not cover the window in the master bedroom. Refrigerator is not even a basic size-it tiny with no ice cubes or trays and the place smelled of day old shrimp. Not to mention the Large palm tree right in the middle of the balcony which is in also need of being pressure washed because it is so moldy. It's a shame because I have stayed other places in this same complex and have loved it. The beach is always awesome, but of all the places I have rented on VRBO this has probably been the only disappointment.

Great location
The property is a great location in a gated community. Close proximity to beach and clubhouse pool. Pickleball courts are also nearby. The condo is basic and practical. We had an issue arise with hot water but was quickly resolved when we reported it - even on a Sunday. We would stay here again.

Great place - nice pool, close to beach
Very nice overall. You must be able to climb stairs. Nice amenities; we enjoyed reading in the sun by the pool, walking on the beach... Car-port was just about too narrow for our full-sized truck. An unexpected (but apparently planned) power outage of a few hours took us a bit by surprise. But no damage done. We would certainly come again ... but might seek "handicapped accessible"!

Nice, comfortable stay
I've stayed at this property before, and at other units in the Barrier Dunes Community. Barrier Dunes is great - I love the short walk to the beach and the proximity to the state park. As with my prior stay, I found the townhome to be comfortable and nice. I'm not sure why this place gets so many bad reviews. It's true that it shows more wear than other units in Barrier Dunes where I've stayed - but those units are also more expensive. Personally, I think the trade-off for a lower price for a place with a little wear to be reasonable. I did take 1 star off due to the floors being a bit dirty. I would still stay here again.

Avoid if you can
This house was disappointing. So many things were broken and didnt work. The customer service agents i spoke to were nice but did nothing. It took them 2 days to bring beach towels. There cracked tiles, all 3 patios were not treated so there was a fear of splinters. The patio furniture wasdirty, broken and not treated to name a few. Stay away. Other units in the complex were mich better.

Love Barrier Dunes, condo was mediocre.
We have stayed at Barrier Dunes for several years now and love our vacations there; however, this particular condo was nothing special at all. The location within the Barrier Dunes community was great, with short walks to the beach and both pools. The condo itself was pretty dated. The paint kind of faded/scuffed up, carpet was old, main sliding glass door was hard to operate, and the stove was horrible. The refrigerator was also comically small. We will definitely be going back to Barrier Dunes, but will try to get a different condo unit next time.

Overall good
The place was nice and very close to beach. There were some minor problems such as dishwasher does not clean and hand washed over. There was some sticky stuff under silverware drawer when opened and could use some new sheets in master bedroom they have fuzz knots. The upstairs air went out and was 86 degrees but the customer was very pleasant and had maintenance out within couple of hours. There was nothing major and overall experience was good.

Needs A LOT of work
The property is not as it is portrayed in the photographs on-line. There are multiple cracks in the tile floors and stains on the carpets. The entire unit needs to be painted. The microwave is still missing the top piece and has duct tape on the door. This issue was reported in the past and hasn’t been addressed. There is also a cover missing on one of the ceiling lights in the kitchen. This was also mentioned in the past and hasn’t been addressed. The grill was covered in cheese from a previous tenants use and we had to clean it before using it. The counters were dirty and we found multiple dirty utensils and dishes that we had to clean before using. In reading past reviews of this property, the issues noted appear to be ongoing. The owner(s)/management company either don’t care about the issues or don’t want to invest resources to remedy the issues. I would never stay in this property again.

Clean but needs improvements
I was skeptical to book this place after reading the previous comments. Overall the house was clean and smelled nice. It made a good first impression. We've stayed at various places at Barrier Dunes and appreciate all the amenities this community offers. Here are some specifics to this townhouse: The stove top needs a good cleaning. The burners are dirty and a fire hazard. The dish washer does not clean the dishes properly and we found dirty dishes in the cabinets. Be prepared to bring hand soap, dish soap, trash bags, laundry detergent. There is nothing provided or very little. Some walls/trim need repair.

nice, comfortable stay
Given some recent, not so great reviews, I was a little nervous about staying at the property, but I found it to be fine. It was clean and comfortable and in a great location. As other reviewers noted, the place does show some wear, but not so much that I thought it problematic in any way. I have stayed at other VRBO properties in Barrier Dunes over the years and I would say that some of the others felt a little homier, but this stay was still very nice and comfortable and I would be happy to stay here again. I really enjoy the Barrier Dunes community generally and the location so close to the beach and state park is also great.

Nice location, not cleaned the best. Pair of underwear stuffed in the top of the couch. Couldn’t miss it when you came up the stairs, but the cleaners did. Dishes were left dirty in the dishwasher and the kitchen was sadly stocked. Couldn’t really prepare your own meals. Won’t rent this condo again.

Needs repairs & dirty
The location is nice but the townhouse is run down-the tile floors are cracked, the walls/baseboards have water damage & cracks, the deck is in need of repair, they need window treatments replaced where they used to be, but are now empty. These photos are old-the bay window does not have pillows in it, there are missing/broken bathroom fixtures. For the price, I was very disappointed. We also found evidence of mice droppings in the lower kitchen cabinet & saw roaches each night after dark. I would find somewhere else to stay in the area.

spring break stay
We have stayed in Barrier Dunes before but stayed in a different unit. first let me say, my kids liked this unit a lot because of it location. It was super close to the beach and both pools. It was also very clean. However, the appliances really need to be updated. I had a hard time getting any dishes clean after running them in the dishwasher. I ended up having to do a lot by hand. Also, only half of the grill worked and only two of the eyes on the stove worked. It was fine for a short visit like ours, but not sure I'd want to deal with that for a longer trip. Also, be aware that if you stay here you have to bring all of your own beach equipment. They don't have a cart or chairs. I've never stayed anywhere that didn't supply at least the chairs. Granted, the description doesn't mention it, so that's on me for not asking. I didn't bother reaching out during our visit because we were only there for part of a week. I just wish they'd replace some of the appliances and maybe leave some equipment to use.
