"Simply THE BEST!"

"I have stayed at beachfront locations all over the world, but I must say that for our family, this property is among the very best we've ever enjoyed! From the comfortable, modern decor to the amenities to the unobstructed views of the beautiful white beaches and GORGEOUS sunsets, it's very difficult to beat this stay! As this is an end unit, we enjoyed breakfasts and dolphin watching with the sunrise and dinners with the sunsets! The owners have thought of everything and have supplied their vacationers with all the luxury that one could hope for. The pictures do not do this property justice! Beach chairs (we brought our own) and boogie boards/beach toys are provided, and there is an outdoor shower for the pups. The sleeping loft is perfect for up to three teenagers, and the two master suites are equally enviable. A LARGE pot was perfect for a shrimp boil, and the grill outside was great for burger night. Load up on groceries at Piggly Wiggly in Port St. Joe and YOU'LL NEVER NEED TO LEAVE until time to go home--nor will you WANT to!

Minor consideration--we are ATT customers, and we lost all phone signal/data once we entered the complex. The unit has wifi, but it is quite slow. However, there is a land line in the unit that has unlimited local/long-distance calling, so not having cell service is not a concern. Frankly, as a goal of this vacation was to "unplug" for a few days, having limited wifi/data access was refreshing in many ways (just mentioning this fact in case one is seeking this area to visit but is in need of robust connectivity for work).

Finally, a word about the property manager, Stefanie. In planning our initial trip, we experienced a set back and it seemed as if our holiday would be derailed. Thankfully, Stefanie and the owners worked with us toward making our vacation a reality! Without going into the details, suffice it to say, Stefanie is an ANGEL to us--a wonderful, accommodating, and kind person! You'll be glad you worked with her--if you are fortunate to do so! She (and the owners) take great care of their customers, and I can't give them enough respect and LOVE! THANK YOU!

On a sad note, our vacation ended on the day of mandatory evacuations for Hurricane Micheal. Having such a magical stay followed by the savagery of the hurricane leaves us all with a bittersweet feeling. PRAYING for a speedy recovery for ALL along the gulf coast and in particular for the lovely area of Port St. Joe, Mexico Beach, and Cape San Blas." — russ Connell Oct 06, 2018

"Perfect vacation retreat for our 3 generation end of summer fling. everything we needed"

"Great layout, clean, well furnished and equipped. Nice to have everything we needed, and much more than we expected. The wrap around spacious balcony was such a nice bonus and put to good use by our family. Grateful to find such a jewel - and so nice that our dogs were just as welcome and comfortable as the rest of the family. Generous supply of beach chairs, sand toys, umbrellas and boogie boards. Kids loved having their own space and adults appreciated the two king bedrooms w/baths and private balconies. Beautiful 180 degree views and perfect spot to soak up the incredible sunsets. Twilight campfires on the beach just steps away from the unit are memories we will treasure. We can’t wait to come back. Truly is the best unit at Barrier Dunes. Prepare to relax, unwind and unplug. Cell service in area was very sketchy and wi-fi not constant - but exactly what we needed and wanted. Time spent together talking, laughing, playing games, hanging on the beach, the #1 rated state park in U.S. just a 5 minute drive away, and just enjoying each other. Oh, and napping - great spot for quick and lazy naps. Perfect family getaway. Did I mention we will be back? Soon." — Susan Yeldell Aug 30, 2018

"Relaxing at the beach"

"Comfortable condo with great views" — candace valenstein Sep 06, 2018

"nice amenities for a pet friendly condo!"

"very secluded, thoughtful decorating and planning for a pet friendly location. beautiful beach with easy access, and beautiful unobstructed views. Easy owners to work with and easy to contact. limited cell phone access, and the wifi access is somewhat limited as well and easily overrun with a large family with tech-savvy children." — tara friedman Aug 17, 2018

"Best beach house stay"

"It was a great stay!" — Sagar Date Aug 10, 2018

"Summer vacation"

"Loved our stay at "All You Need" everything we needed was there. Only issue was during the week the island lost water pressure but thankfully the shower that underneath the deck had great water pressure and we just rinsed off there!! Cant wait to come back!!" — Anonymous Jun 23, 2018

"50th wedding anniversary"

"We rented this perfect place for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. it really had all we needed. we cooked a lot. ( the propane went out on our first night of cooking but a mile down there is a store called the outpost where you can get refill tanks for 25 bucks or so). the beds were nice to sleep on and had plenty of towels and kitchen stuff to make great meals. its a very close walk to the beach with very little steps. i will be coming back next year because its not busy like San destin and the beaches are perfect and the dogs can come." — norman todd Jun 05, 2018

"What a great place to stay!"

"We so truly enjoyed our stay in your home. Everything was so fresh and clean and tastefully updated. The end condo unit is the best location in the complex with 180 degree gulf front views off the large wrap around porch. The only issue we had was less than optimal WiFi and cell phone service. This made it hard to keep up with work related issues that unfortunately needed to be addressed. Other than that everything was wonderful! Cape San Blas is a little isolated from restaurants and services, although there are a couple basic places to get you by. This was exactly what we were looking for, but I know it might not be for everyone. We had a great time in a beautiful place and are looking forward to returning sometime soon and hopefully staying here again." — Glen VerHagen Jun 02, 2018

"Great unit!"

"The view and location are wonderful and the unit is very updated and tastefully decorated. Really an all around great condo and makes for a great beach vacation." — Craig Pope May 29, 2018

"Beautiful Townhome and community"

"The home was clean and well-kept, we loved the large balcony overlooking the beach. Everyone in the gated community was very kind and the pool was nice. Our only complaint was that the WiFi in the house was pretty slow. But other than that we have no complaints and would come stay again. Thank you!" — Anna Tautkus Mar 26, 2018

"Glad to be back"

"This was the fourth or fifth time my husband and I have booked a week in this unit over the past few years. We keep coming back because of the gorgeous views, well kept property, and easy beach access." — Rene Craig Oct 28, 2017

"What incredible views!"

"The views from this condo are spectacular. Whether we were eating lunch on the deck, or watching the sunset while having a cocktail this condo has the best views in the complex. You feel like you are the only one around. Plus the furnishings are all so perfect for the beach. Kitchen was so well equipped which made cooking a breeze. A real treat that you didn't have to lug everything with you to feel like you were at home. And the ability to walk for miles in either directions on white sand beaches tops off the trip. We will definitely be back!" — Cindy Thompson Oct 11, 2017

"Great corner unit with perfect views"

"This was a really nice unit with plenty of space for our entire family. The views were great and the wrap around porch was a plus with lots of seating. We had everything we needed and everything was very modern and up to date. Loved the large washer/dryer vs stackable like many other places. Loved the privacy of it being an end/corner unit. The beach was just steps away off the boardwalk and the pool was a pretty short walk away from the unit.
Not that this is very important when renting this unit but we were NOT allowed to do fireworks on the beach which was a disappointment for my son as we were told we could and had to haul them all the way back to NC but again that was a personal thing and had nothing to do with this unit or how great it was. The beach was not crowded which is a main reason we love this area and the owner was fantastic to work with !!!!" — Debbie Camps Aug 10, 2017

"Little piece of paradise"

"We had the best time! The townhouse was so beautiful and comfortable!! We needed a get a way from the real world for a few days! The weather did not cooperate with us, but a day at the beach is better than a day at home:) The townhouse had a great window seat that I sat at everyday and watched the rain and read. So peaceful! It was so fun to have everything be so dog friendly! Our pup had a great time as well! Someone had said on a previous review that there was only a few restaurants close to the townhouse. Well they weren't kidding. There were two places close and all the others were at least 30 mins away along with the grocery store. But there are a couple little trading post stores where you can get some grocery items if you forgot anything. Overall we had a great time and can't wait to come back!! Stephanie thank you for being so easy to work with." — sara berkley Jun 11, 2017

"Beautiful, clean and pet friendly!"

"We had such a great time here. We loved the townhouse, which has a fabulous deck overlooking the ocean. It was clean and updated and very cute. We love that they let us bring our golden retriever. Thank you!" — Nicole Greer May 28, 2017

"Amazing views and location!"

"We loved the fact that we could have our dog on the beach, but we wished more people had obeyed the leash policy. Other than that, the beaches and sunsets were gorgeous!" — Karen Douglas May 25, 2017

"Absolutely the Best. "

"This is an amazing beach destination. My Dog is older and needed a close walk to the Beach. It is the best property in the development. The home is immaculate, charming, and well equipped for vacationers . The biggest WOW factor is the wrap around deck. I can't begin to describe how wonderful the view. For those of you looking, you will not be disappointed. The owner or agent was immediately responsive to our inquiry and she made it a Wonderful Stay! Nothing comparable!!!" — Charles Torgerson Nov 01, 2016

"Awesome property right on the beach!"

"We loved this property! The updates are great. The kitchen is very well equipped for anything you want to cook. We love having solid surface floors for easy cleaning. Stephanie and her team were awesome answering every question we had and super fast! We can't say enough great things about location and the house!!" — Lissa Workman Apr 01, 2017

"Fantastic"

"This place is amazing. The deck was so awesome. So close to the ocean. The dogs loved spending time outside on deck. The view could not be better. Easy walk. Night bonfire. Beds slept good. Decor is great. Will be back." — Pam Dunford Nov 23, 2016

"Little slice of paradise"

"What a wonderful place. The reviews were right, the reality beats the pictures. A fabulous location for a low-key, relaxing vacation. No high falutin' restaurants or malls; just sun, sand and ocean and all right at your doorstep. The place was immaculate, well taken care of and beautiful. The host was just walking up to the house to turn the light on for us as we were pulling in. I would not hesitate to recommend this townhome to anyone looking for a low-key vacation." — Donna Perlee Oct 20, 2016

"Spectacular getaway location"

"My family and I searched for a white sand beach within the United States that would allow us to get away from the commercialized world. We found it at Cape San Blas! The townhome that we stayed at had a large wrap around deck (only one of its kind) right next to the beach which allowed for unobstructed views of the beach, the water and the sunsets. Early morning walks along the beach in both directions where I could count on one hand the number of people that we would pass. The townhome has 2 large bedrooms with king beds and connected full baths. The loft contains 3 twin beds and is adequate for children given the pitch of the ceiling in the loft and the stair access. The living and kitchen are a great setup and very open. A gas grill is located on the deck making it easy to grill out. 6 beach chairs are provided. Don't forget to bring beach towels if you need them. We enjoyed a morning of fishing in the bay with a guide. Debbe made the experience easy and wonderful for our stay and the townhome is in great condition. I would certainly consider returning to this location in the future." — Gary Mann Jul 05, 2016

"Great getaway"

"This was our first time visiting Cape San Blas - the area reminded me of a mini Outer Banks. The townhome community was well maintained and this unit definitely stood out in terms of location and outdoor space. Since it's the end unit on the outermost edge of the development, it had the best views of the water and the most privacy. There was a long deck area that ran the length of the unit with unobstructed views of the dunes and water - great place for both man and dog to relax and enjoy the breeze and views! The interior was modern and well equipped. A great choice for a quiet beach vacation!" — Steve Long Jun 26, 2016

"Photos don't do it justice"

"The photos don't show how nice the rental is and how great the location is. The deck wraps halfway around the property with a great ocean view. It is the last property in the row and the deck is secluded from those properties next door. The beach is great with clear water and no seaweed at the time of year we traveled. I highly recommend this property and hope to visit again soon!" — Patrick Keal Jun 23, 2016

"Awesome Views and Sunsets!"

"This is a great property to stay at if you just want to get away and relax. This was our first trip to the Island and it is a great place to vacation for those that want to be away from the hustle and bustle. Cell service for sure is hit or miss. Pictures on this site are true to what you get when you arrive however the views are even better. The condo was very clean and comfortable and did have everything we needed. 2 masters with private baths were great. The loft room upstairs is not easy to access if you are on the larger side. For sure a kids hang out. Access to the beach is short. I brought a tent and wagon to take everything back and forth to the beach but you are so close and with the 2 sets of stairs it was easier to just make 2 trips. Wagon was too much trouble to manage with the steps so our large beach bag was all we needed. You can easily go back and forth to condo to get drinks or restroom breaks. The pool was a bit more of a walk but not too bad. If you like to go back and forth from pool to beach then pick your spot on the beach in the middle. They provided 5 chairs and some boogy boards. There are Kyaks but we did not use them. The shower on the back porch was ideal. There is another downstairs in garage area also. The grill was great we did steaks one night. I highly recommend you plan a big grocery store trip prior to arrival or there is a service that you can use prior to your arrival for the basics.( 10 days notice) Piggly Wiggly is a good 20-25 min ride. There are a few small stores near by for something quick ($$) and great Ice Cream and doughnut shop a few miles away. If you like to go out to dinner you are very limited. Only maybe 3 places on the Island they were just ok. But our favorite was Indian Pass just back off the Island. Fun entertainment and dinner. I give this place 5 stars. We had a great time. Thanks for sharing.
Then Chapman Family" — Rachel Chapman Jun 16, 2016

"Best Condo in Barrier Dunes!!!"

"The condo and trip greatly exceeded our expectations! We arrived very late at night, and the owner had the lights on for us to make the unit easy to find. This was our first time to Cape San Blas, so we really appreciated that after the long drive. It was nice to have covered parking as well. Of all the condos in Barrier Dunes this condo is the closest in proximity of the beach. It has a huge wrap around deck that offers privacy on one side that no other condos have. The other side of the deck had a nice grill that we used to cook some steaks we had brought from home. We chose Cape San Blas because we wanted to bring our dog Lily to the beach. I had reservations about a "pet friendly" beach, but all the animals on the beach stayed close to their owners and it was a great experience. Our dog loved the beach, but it was nice having the condo soooo close that we could take her back to cool off if we thought she was getting too hot. If you want to stay in the BEST condo in Barrier Dunes, this would be the one without a doubt!!! " — Nathan Smith Sep 17, 2015

"Our favorite weekend getaway"

"My husband and I have just completed our third visit. It has become our favorite getaway location. The seclusion of the Cape makes it easy to disconnect from the rest of the world, but the property is so well equipped that you don't feel like you're missing anything. Debbe, the property manager, is very good at making guests feel welcome. " — Rene R Craig Sep 09, 2015

"Fantastic Vacation Experience"

"We had a wonderful experience and thoroughly enjoyed our time at the property. The renovations and decor in the condo were done very well. The large deck is the only one like it on the entire Barrier Dunes community and has ample furniture to utilize. Excellent views of the gulf and the property was nicely appointed with beach furniture, body boards, kayaks, etc to utilize. This was our first time to Cape San Blas and we intend to make this a regular vacation destination going forward. " — Robert Zimmerman Aug 05, 2015

"Wonderful View"

"We had a wonderful stay here. The furniture was new. Everything was updated nicely. The balcony on both sides of the condo was a plus, all the outside furniture was great. We could have laid out on the deck only seen the water and heard the surf without ever touching the sand. There were two pools, we used both, when one was crowded the other was not. The loft area is nice if you have children but tall adults may have to adjust. We will be back." — Kathryn Ann Stephens Jul 01, 2015

"Beautiful Decor in a Great Location"

"My husband and I were lucky enough to be the first to stay here after a substantial renovation of the property. We were a bit concerned that things might not be quite "finished", but as it turned out, the decor was gorgeous and the kitchen very well equipped. It is, I think, the only unit in the complex with a gulf-side wrap-around porch, and there are beautiful views of the water from the downstairs as well as from the two second floor bedrooms. Cable and wireless functioned flawlessly, and the gas grill on the deck was a definite plus. Exiting off the deck, it is less than a 30 second walk down the boardwalk to the sand.
On the third floor there's a loft that would be fun for a couple of small children, but probably too small for anybody over the age of 12, and it should be noted that there is no bathroom on the loft floor. That being said, even my husband, who is a red-head with freckles and not much of a beach guy, said he'd come back again!" — Rene R Craig Jun 04, 2015
