Great spot for a getaway
We loved being steps from the beach in a comfortable, well-equipped townhome. Lots of walking on the beach and we even had a nice fire on the beach our last night. We also took advantage of hiking in the nearby state park and got fresh fish and shrimp from the market down the road. Overall, it was a wonderful break!

Vacasa - Review only
We are posting this review after trying to reach out directly to the owner at Barrier Dunes. We have not heard back from either VRBO or the owners. The issues we have are with the Host, which is Vacasa of Florida. If you remember, there was a hurricane, Idalia which impacted the western coast of Florida and required a Mandatory Evacuation of Cape San Blas on Tuesday noon, August 29, which was rescinded on Wednesday at noon August 30. My family had to leave Florida and drive back to Atlanta hoping to salvage some time at the unit. We had leased the unit from 8-25 to 9-5 which was 11 nights during the off season. Vacasa NEVER called us or communicated with us in ANYWAY alerting us of the Hurricane or the Evacuation Order. We wondered how many Vacasa renters could they have possible had the week prior to Labor Day. We were advised by other tenants at the complex, Barrier Dune, of the pending and then actual Order. We called Vacasa over 10 times and not once did we talk to anyone that had knowledge of the pending hurricane or Evacuation Order on Tuesday August 29. We talked to reps in Belize 5 times, Oregon 2 times, El Salvador 2 times and Valdosta 1, but NEVER from the local St. Joe Staff. We were told after every frustrating call that someone would call us back within the hour. NO ONE from Vacasa EVER called us. To the owner of this unit, we loved the unit as it is the best unit, we have stayed in from our 5 prior stays at Barrier Dunes. Never again!

Excellent place
VRBO had double-booked us at another property, so we found this at the last minute. We were wary, but happily surprised to find that it was not only close to the beach, but also there was absolutely NO MUSTY ODOR, like many other Barrier Reef properties. It was clean and tidy, and while we needed more towels and it would’ve been nice to have luggage racks, the place exceeded expectations. The bedrooms need new mattresses, and the other furniture needs updating, but the newly updated kitchen and master bath are spectacular. We want to stay here again! Oh, and there was a problem with the hot water heater when we first arrived, but it was fixed within 24 hours. Excellent service.

Great location - terrible apartment
Property manager was unresponsive to issues related to cold weather. Neighboring apartments sent staff out to respond within 24 hours. No so with this apartment. We were without water for over 48 hours and no one arrived until after it came back on. Also small issues like cabinet doors missing and outlets that didn’t work. Loved Gulf Co with the dog, but not this apartment.

Nice master bathroom and kitchen
The kitchen and master bathroom were very nice, also loved the washer and dryer, which looked almost new. Air conditioner worked very well. Owners might want to consider providing some instructions for the stove, washer, and dryer. We were able to figure it out, but it was a little confusing. We also could have used more bath towels, washcloths, and some bath mats- there were five of us there for a week, and were only provided four bath towels, two hand towels, two washcloths, and no bath mats. The washer and dryer got us through, but being at the beach means multiple showers every day! Overall a nice stay and very close to the beach.

I very much enjoyed my trip. I used it as a quite BD get away from the speed for work, life, and parenting. It was a birthday present from my husband and was exactly what the doctor ordered. My only complaint would be the bed in the master bedroom could really use an upgrade.

Perfect for us
We loved biking, boating, playing tennis, eating at cone heads, exploring the state park with our precious doggo, and unforgettable quality time with family. This property was perfect for all our needs. The two rooms upstairs had their own balcony and bathroom. We loved having a glimpse of the ocean from the upstairs master. Perfect for watching the sunrise and set over the ocean without even getting out of bed.

I rented this property for privacy and a place located near the beach.
I placed a small dog gate on the patio so my dogs could get some fresh air. I wake up in the morning and and there is a “Karen” looking woman standing on the patio talking to the neighbor. I stood and stared at her for almost five minutes. The neighbor turned and waved at me. Like “this is fine.” No. It was definitely not fine.

Great location!
The location of this property was really good! It was a super short walk to the beach, and not too far from everything the cape had to offer. Not the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed. Also the house could use a little updating. The check-in and check-out was really convenient.

vacation for two
Location was amazing. However, the condo was poorly stocked in cooking equipment. NO COFFEE FILTERS, that is very cheap and easy thing to supply. Salt and pepper. Salad bowls. Tin foil, plastic wrap easy and cheap to supply. NO SPONGE for washing dishes. The couches smelled like they haven't been cleaned in a long while. Comfort amenities just not there. When flying in and out, having to buy the above mentioned items is a drag. We will try to go through a local source for renting the next time we come.

Great location
The condo was as pictured. Upon entering the unit, the kitchen floor was very tacky and never really seemed clean. The cleaning crew must have used something that left an awful film. I understood the unity to accept pets, we didn't bring any but the sofa sure smelled like dogs. While we didn't really cook any meals there, the kitchen seemed well equipped. I did think that it would have been nice to have some plastic cups to take beverages outside. Also, would be nice to see a list of restaurants or things to do nearby. The master bedroom has a plastic covering on it which I am sure is to prevent soiling, but it sure makes one sleep very hot. An inexpensive mattress pad over the plastic might help.

Great location but needs a deep cleaning.
It was apparent the floors had not been cleaned between stays. On the first day the coffee pot would not work but a new one was delivered to us that day. The bathtub faucet dripped no matter what we did and one of the sinks in the same bathroom is nearly stopped up. Otherwise the location was great and it was great to be steps from the beach in a quiet place.

Excellent place to unwind
Everything went great during our week with this rental. The only issue was finding places to eat as most were understaffed or closed altogether. However we found good food to eat. The waves were great and the calm is a blessing. Loved seeing children playing in the evening.
