Inspired by the Zac Brown Band, Knee Deep in Paradise offers visitors a peaceful and easy escape from the stress of every day life where your only worry is whether the tide will reach your chair. We invite you to come visit our relaxing slice of paradise in the popular gated community of Barrier Dunes on beautiful Cape San Blas.

Knee Deep in Paradise is a lovely, pet-friendly, 2 bedroom, 2 bath townhouse, with a sleeper sofa, to accommodate up to 6 guests. The first floor welcomes you into an open concept living/dining/kitchen area. We have comfortable seating and a large streaming TV, perfect for family movie nights after a fun-filled day at the beach. Our living area opens onto a wonderful screened-in porch with outdoor seating and a gas grill. We look out towards the St. Joseph's Bay and the entrance to the spectacular St. Joseph Pennisula State Park, which hosts one of the best beaches in the United States, ranked by Dr Beach.

Our cozy dining table seats four (for meals or game nights) with additional seating at the spacious bar. Our kitchen has everything you need - a French door refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, an electric stove, dishwasher, microwave, k-cup coffee maker, crock pot, blender, plenty of cookware, dishes, and glassware. We have stocked our kitchen in hopes that you will eat, drink, and be merry together!

Also on the first level is a bright and cheerful bedroom and a full bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The bedroom is setup with two twin beds, has a wall-mounted streaming TV, and enjoys a wonderful little private deck that looks across to the neighborhood playground, which is a perfect place for kids to enjoy.

Upstairs we have a private, spacious, comfortable master suite with a nice king sized bed, a large streaming TV, and a private deck that looks out at the bay. Take a cup of coffee out there and watch the sun rise. You can't help but relax in this beautiful place. The vanity area has double sinks, and the bathroom has a wonderful garden tub for soaking, as well as a separate shower. There is also a full size washer & dryer in the laundry room on this level.

Whether your babies have two or four feet, all are welcome in our home. We have installed two permanent baby gates, one at each staircase to help keep everyone safe.

Once you are all settled in, we are just a short 5 minute walk through the complex to the beautiful beaches of Cape San Blas. Barrier Dunes has 3 easy beach access points. We have beach chairs, beach toys, and a cart for your convenience, as well as an outdoor shower with hot & cold water for rinsing sandy toes and paws when you get back.

Our community is a great place for people of all ages. We have two tennis/pickleball courts, ponds where kids love to feed the resident turtles, a boat cleaning station with overflow boat parking, safe streets for walking your dog or riding bikes, and two swimming pools. One pool is centrally located in the complex, and the other pool is gulf front with covered picnic tables and a gazebo overlooking the sugar white sand and beautiful Gulf of Mexico.

Our townhouse is situated on a small horseshoe bend that gives you a real neighborhood feeling. It's peaceful and quiet and a little off the main drag and overlooks the wonderful neighborhood playground with all new play equipment. Our unit offers a wonderful place for families to make happy memories together, as well as the perfect spot for snowbirds to enjoy an escape from harsh winters. Any time of the year, we are happy to invite you to come and experience Knee Deep in Paradise.

    The property was clean and as advertised. The beach cart was helpful when going to the beach as it is 0.26 mile walk to the beach sand. There are 3 accesses. One is ramp only, the other 2 have some stairs. Good to know for anyone with mobility issues. The townhome is well stocked, very clean, was accomodating. Everything worked. Sitting on the screened patio was nice. We enjoyed our time here over all.

    We had such a great time this week!!! Overall location was perfect - a short drive to the nearest store and towards the state park. The unit was clean and perfect for us and our pets and kiddos. We loved being able to have our dog with us! Lots of dogs at the complex too. We enjoyed the beach and pool. The unit is in the back of the neighborhood as described and just a short walk to the beach - our kids are 6, 3 and 1 so we brought the older two scooters and pushed the baby in the stroller and it was perfect! The beach cart and chairs provided were appreciated. I also really appreciated the communication with Carolyn - we had an issue with the power one day (not the fault of the rental at all, weird accident where someone hit the power box!) but they were super quick to respond and even came out and personally assessed with the fire dept and power company!! We had a great stay and are already planning our next trip!!

    We loved our time at Knee Deep in paradise. The house is clean, beautifully decorated, well stocked, very close to the beach. We enjoyed every minute. My kids loved the playground that is right in front of the property.

    We Love staying at Barrier Dunes. This is our fifth visit to the Cape. We have two daughters age 21 and 18. They love having a pool to enjoy and the convenience to the bay. We always enjoy the community feel at Barrier Dunes. The townhouse was well decorated, extremely clean and the management team was very responsive. We will stay here again.

    Our first trip to Cape San Blas and it didn’t disappoint! Our condo was amazing and despite some crazy high humidity we had a wonderful time. The walk to the beach was simplified by fact that they had a cart to load everything up for one trip instead of several and an outdoor shower to de-sand before going back inside. The unit was full of small decorating details that we would discover throughout our stay and the screened-in porch with a fan was delightful to sit outside and enjoy the bit less humid evening’s. Very dog-friendly and our family left refreshed and recharged! Thanks again for sharing a slice of your paradise with us!
