Dirty, disgusting, and disappointing. Property is not only dated but gross! Not worth the $$$$
This property was super clean. The pool was nice and the beach was deserted. We really enjoyed our stay. The place could use some TLC though. The countertops had several big cracks and there were broken floor tiles. The issue I had with the shower wand was addressed immediately. I was impressed with the timeliness of the repair.
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!
Clean n easy walk to beach at this dog haven. Unfortunately furniture is old and very worn. Back deck is risky and very unstable especially at top of stairs. This needs attention.
We went with friends and a great time. We were new to the area and really loved the area.
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the western coast of Florida and required a Mandatory Evacuation of Cape San Blas on Tuesday noon, August 29, which was rescinded on Wednesday at noon August 30.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!
Amazing property! Clean, perfectly updated, extremely close to beach…everything we could wish for!
The townhouse was very close to the boardwalk out to the beach. Made it convienent to go back and forth to the beach during the day. The townhouse was very clean. The kitchen was large made it easy to cook meals. We used the grille on the deck to cook several meals during our stay. The living area was spacious and we enjoyed the large dinning table. The washer and dryer were regular size and easy to use. The bedrooms were clean and plenty of room. We enjoyed the parking location under the townhouse. Overall, we were very pleased with the location and space and useability of the townhouse.
The home and location are great. Easy walk to beach. Well stocked kitchen, clean and spacious rooms, comfortable beds, all appliances in good working order. Happy to recommend this home to everyone and hope to return soon!
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.
Very nice beach. Not as crowded as some others along the gulf. House was average. But close to the beach. Complained to management about shower nut draining and it took them three days to respond - by then we had gone and bought draino and fixed it ourselves. Saw multiple hairs on the bedding and washed it before sleeping. Saw cockroach in the entryway.
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.
It was amazing. The beach was clean and everyone around us were friendly. The people in cape San blas and port st joe were so friendly. Can’t wait to go back. It will be our beach destination from now on. Our accommodations were very nice and clean. Great location
All that you need for a great beach trip
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.
Great property, great location!
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.
Easy
Everything was great, the condo was clean and great location, short walk to the beach. Definitely will stay here again.
The unit was awesome!! Newly updated appliances and bathroom. Very short walk to the Beach! We will defiantly be back!
We enjoyed the amenities and the quick walk to the beach. Will rent again, excellent stay!
