Pet-Friendly Beach Retreat Near Pool/Pickle Ball Courts With Weekly Discounts!
The Turtle Townhouse is “vacation-ready”. With 2 bedrooms/2 full baths, a fully equipped kitchen with all-new appliances, living room with 40" Smart TV (Smart TVs in each bedroom), sunny spacious deck with gas-grill, table, chairs & umbrella, WIFI, pet-friendly (dogs, only); the Turtle Townhouse is waiting for you! Its location is 20 steps from the heated pool/100 steps from Gulf Beach/30 steps from Pickle Ball Courts. The beach dunes have been refurbished, as of 4/2023, and new walkway crossovers are completed. The beach is wide open and ready to be enjoyed.
Cape San Blas has its two convenience stores (oneis being rebuilt0 & gas station open, along with St. Joe Shrimp Company fish market (also serving lunch) open. Weber’s Doughnuts is open, now locat ed near Scallop Republic. Bicycle/ kayak rentals are operating. Nearby restaurants on the Cape include Longbills, Coneheads. The golf course is open.
In Port St. Joe, restaurants are open. The Piggley Wiggley and Dollar General supermarkets are open. The Turtle Townhouse is located on Cape San Blas, with the Gulf of Mexico on one side and St. Joseph's Bay on the other. Located in Barrier Dunes, a gated community with private beach access. White sand, emerald green water, dolphins playing near shore, make this pristine beach, 18 miles long, a wonderful stretch of paradise where you can walk to your heart's content. Many times you will be the only one on the beach.
Families will not only enjoy the warm sand and water, but also the two pools, stocked fishing ponds and the lighted tennis/pickle-ball courts in Barrier Dunes. Golfers will find the St. Joseph's Bay Country Club course (just a 15 minute drive away) challenging and scenic.
Barrier Dunes is located at the gate of the St. Joseph's Bay State Park which offers beautiful hiking trails along the bay, magnificent dunes, and outstanding bird watching. St. Joseph's Bay offers a wealth of activities including boating, kayaking, snorkeling, fishing and some of the best scalloping in the Gulf.
This townhouse has three balconies, two with views of the pond and its many turtles. The decks have outside seating, a patio table with umbrella, a gas grill, and great morning sun.
The master bedroom has a king-size bed, the guest bedroom has a queen bed, and there is a fold-out queen sleeper sofa. It comfortably sleeps six. Beds have 100% cotton sheets. The fully-stocked kitchen has many amenities including an ice maker, microwave, dishwasher, and all small appliances.

There are beach chairs, umbrellas, kick-boards, some sand buckets & toys available for use in the storage room off the carport. There is an outdoor shower with hot & cold running water. It's great for cleaning sand off or washing your dog. We have two new 26" adult bicycles (one male, one female) available for use by renters.
There are numerous turtles in the pond behind the townhouse, thus the name Turtle Townhouse. The turtles will come to see you if you come out on the deck, and they like to eat lettuce/carrot shavings, if you want to feed them.
Cape San Blas is a special place. It is relaxing and you will be glad that you found this place. There are NO HIGH-RISES or cabanas on Cape San Blas.

My wife and I stayed for a week and we had a great time. The property is clean and fits exactly what you need if you are a beach goer. We enjoyed our time spent in the condo, though we spent most on the beach. We brought our own chairs, but they provide some If you prefer to pack light.
Absolutely perfect!! I have stayed at several places in Barrier Dunes and this one is by far the best! Great communication, dog friendly, clean and a very cozy couch during the storms!
We enjoyed our stay! Great place to call our home for a week. It’s a short walk to the beach, and all the extra beach items we had to use was awesome. Barbara was fast to respond with any questions, and made the whole rental and check in process extremely easy.

This was our second time staying at Turtle Townhouse, we really enjoy how cozy it is and love that the beds are so comfortable! It's so close to the beach and pools! Another wonderful week at the Cape! We will be back next year!
Another great stay at Barrier Dunes. Owners were responsive and available for everything prior to check in and during. Townhome was as described and would recommend and use again in the future. Thank you!
The property and area were wonderful! Very pet friendly and the beach is very close! The check in process was easy as was the checkout. We look forward to coming back next year! Thank you to the wonderful property managers!!!
The property is perfectly located by the smaller pool and an easy, short walk to the beach. Barbara was great to communicate with, she checked in with us after we arrived and was so easy to work with. We will definitely stay here again. Very clean, lots of supplies for both the property and the beach available.
