Perla del Mar — Three-Story Gulf-View Townhome, 30 Steps to the Beach

Perla del Mar means Pearl of the Sea — and from the top-floor master deck, with the Gulf spreading out in every direction and the Cape San Blas shoreline curving below you, the name earns itself completely. This three-story end-unit townhome in the gated Barrier Dunes community puts eight guests just 30 steps from the beach walkover, with Gulf views from every level and a top-floor primary suite that feels more like a boutique hotel than a beach rental.

Top-floor king master suite with garden tub, separate shower & double-sink vanity

Gated Barrier Dunes community — quiet, private, and beautifully maintained

Picture ending a long beach day with the kids settled into the bunk room and the adults ascending to the top floor of Perla del Mar — a king master suite with its own private deck, a soaking garden tub, and nothing but Gulf horizon as far as you can see. That's the experience this home is built around. Mornings start on the main-level deck with coffee and the gas grill, the beach just 30 steps away the moment you're ready. Afternoons are for the surf, the community pools, or the shaded comfort of the living room's generous sectional sofa. And when the sun starts its descent over the water, every deck in the house becomes the best seat on Cape San Blas.

The main level flows seamlessly from the fully equipped kitchen through the dining area — seating for eight between the table and breakfast bar — into the living room and out onto the Gulf-view deck. It's an easy, open layout that keeps the group connected without anyone feeling crowded.
