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.

3rd trip to barrier dunes. Great location.
We had a wonderful experience and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!
We had a great time staying here. It was perfect for our family needs. Thanks to Barbara and Tom for everything.
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.
This was our first trip to Cape San Blas and it was a great experience. Most of the things you need are already available in this rental. We enjoyed the turtles that came out to sun and eat bread everyday. I was concerned about the walk to the beach and the stairs to the room for my 80 yr old mother but she made it fine morning and evening. The beach was not too crowded, we left our tent and chairs out all week. Everyone we encountered was friendly and nice. The things you do need you might want to pick up in Port Saint Joe on your way in. We ate at the Cape Smokehouse and it was good. Beach planet had some nice souvenirs. The owners are very responsive. We hope to return.
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!!!
We really loved our stay at this beautiful property. Very comfortable, close to the pool and beach. Perfect spot with great hosts!
We had a great time. Everything we needed was there. Pots/pans/coffee maker/washer/dryer. Didn’t use bikes or chairs but nice to know they are available.
This place is in very good condition, all is well maintained, very clean and well equipped with everything you need and can think of for a good, relaxing holiday and to feel at home. We appreciated very much the prompt responses by our friendly host and her helpful information to any question or little problem we had. We can highly recommend this place and would definately come back.
We had a very relaxing stay at Turtle Townhouse. The place was very clean and well appointed. It was so nice to have paper products, laundry supplies, spices and condiments, coffee, etc. supplied so we didn't have to worry about purchasing them. This was our third stay in the Barrier Dunes complex over the last 10 or so years, and it was our favorite. The walk to the beach was very short, the pool was just steps away, and the turtles in the pond were fun to watch. The two questions we had during our stay were answered immediately by our hosts via text. We would very much recommend a stay here, and would definitely like to come back ourselves.
