Barrier Dunes is located next to St. Joseph State Park which contains over 2000 acres of pristine beaches, tropical landscapes, and nature trails. Nine miles of award-winning Gulf shoreline featuring turquoise waters, sugary white sand, and awesome dunes that rise more than 20 feet on average. (Ranked the third best beach in the country by Dr. Beach)

Keywords: Stepped On a Pop-Tart is a lovely, fully equipped, Gulf view town-home in Barrier Dunes. It is an end unit in a very quiet part of Barrier Dunes, and yet one of the closest units to the beach. It's just minutes to the beach and oceanfront pool.
The beach is pristine, fine white sand. You can walk for miles. The water is shallow near the shore, making it an excellent place for small children to play in the surf.
Barrier Dunes itself is ideally situated on the Cape, right next to the entrance to St. Joe's Peninsula State Park with its many hiking, biking, wildlife viewing and beach exploring opportunities. An excellent location also to take a canoe or kayak and explore the wildlife rich back bay. There is also a boat launch, so whether you bring your own boat, and yes, there is parking available for a boat at Stepped on a Pop-Tart, or whether you rent a boat, you can do so easily and conveniently.

Couldn't have been better...

My wife and I made a bit of a last-minute decision to visit Cape San Blas which meant we scrambled a bit to find a place to stay. This condo was near the end of the peninsula close to the entrance of the state park. We couldn't have made a better decision. The owner provided us with a comprehensive welcome packet with accurate directions to the condo, a useful guide to the surrounding locale, and helpful instructions on how to check-in, make use of the condo, and check-out. The condo itself was first-rate. Very comfortable with multiple wide-screen TV's which were nice on the couple days of rain we encountered. The bed in the master bedroom was outstanding (we never slept so well). The people in the other condos nearby were friendly and the neighborhood was quiet. Miles of white sand beach, great sunrises/sunsets, and miles of biking if that's your thing (it was for us). Port St. Joe and Apalachicola have restaurants and shops for food and exploring, and Panama City is about 30 minutes away if you want a bit of a road trip. Overall we had a great time and hope to return. Highly recommend both the accommodations and the locations. First-rate!

Bad water gray in color, water pressure so low we could not get the washer to fill,

The beach is lovely, weather was great. Had a problem with dishwaher and shower having very very low pressure, water was a gray color called owner on monday no one came till Friday our last day. This washer would not fill and the shower was a dribble we did buy water and used our neighbors showers and washer, when we asked the owner for some type of compensation, he said the plumber told him it was safe to drink the water even though it was a silty gray color like the water in the stool! , just needed a filter change , he said the pressure is always low on the cape, funny since a friend rented a place a few units down and their pressure was fine . Needless to say it was an inconvenience and very disgusting!!!

Summer vacation

Perfect location to a beautiful beach. Pool was nice and close as well. Black flies came in on Thursday so that was a bummer….their bite hurts!!! King size bed was very comfy. Some suggestions for condo… a throw blanket would be nice, some new Tupperware with tops that fits, knife sharpener because knives are very dull. Otherwise, pretty much had everything we needed. Oh! We could not figure out how to work the cd player. But we found a movie on Prime. Extra points for the bidet!!!

Cleanliness

We love Cape San Blas. It was our second year vacationing but 1st time staying here. It was not clean, dog hair all over, floors were sticky and the living room area smelled of strong urine. I vacuumed and swept when we left and it was cleaner than when we arrived. We were out the door at checkout time but in the driveway, my son and grandson waited in our vehicle while we walked to say goodbye to family around the corner and we were charged a late fee!!! Absolutely ridiculous. Might have to use another source other than VRBO. Also difficult to reach owner.

Great Place!

Hate to admit it because it may bring more people and make it harder to rent, but we loved the place! Great area - much quieter than crazy PCB or other touristy areas and a very dog-friendly community! Beach is very close - awesome views, not busy even during the day and awesome for morning and evening walks. Thank you!!!

The townhouse was as advertised. Clean, spacious and a short walk to the beach, with a nice balcony upstairs where we drank our coffee in the morning. The screened in porch was nice too. Host recommendations on restaurants were spot on. We enjoyed our week in Cape San Blas very much. The water was clear, the beach was fine and uncrowded. We will definitely return!

A Great Stay

This is our second end-of-year celebration at Barrier Dunes and the first at Pop Tart. The beach views are amazing and it is a quick walk to the beach and pool. We had to do some online work while were there and the desk in the master bedroom is marvelous. The internet speed is a little slow, but we made it work.
