4 Boats on the Beach — Three-Story Beachfront Home with Three Gulf-View Decks
Most beach houses give you a view. 4 Boats on the Beach gives you three — one on every floor, all facing the Gulf, all completely unobstructed. This three-story beachfront home in the gated Barrier Dunes community is built for groups who want to be as close to the water as possible without actually sleeping on the sand. Step out of virtually any room and you're on a private deck watching the emerald Gulf stretch to the horizon.
Direct beachfront — unobstructed Gulf views throughout
Three private Gulf-view decks, one on each floor
Sleeps 8 — king suite, queen room, full-over-full bunk room, Pack 'n Play available
Every bedroom has its own private ensuite bathroom
Access to gulf-front pool + clubhouse in Barrier Dunes
2-car covered carport + direct beach access from ground level
Stocked beach closet, beach cart, beach chairs, buckets & shovels included
$35/day credit toward beach gear rentals (stays of 3–21 nights)
High-speed WiFi + Smart TV in every bedroom
Fully equipped kitchen with Keurig and drip coffee maker
Pack 'n Play and high chair available
Gated community — quiet, private, and beautifully maintained
Wake up in the king master suite on the top floor, slide open the balcony door, and let the Gulf breeze be your alarm clock. Mornings at 4 Boats on the Beach start slow — coffee on the deck, pelicans gliding past at eye level, the kids already asking about the beach. By mid-morning you're set up on the sand with chairs and the beach cart loaded from the stocked closet downstairs.
Afternoons might mean a dip in the gulf-front community pool, a round of family games inside, or simply rotating between decks as the sun moves across the sky. By evening, the main-level deck is the place to be — gas grill fired up, the whole group gathered around the Polywood dining table, watching the Cape San Blas sunset do its thing.
The main level is an entertainer's dream, with a huge sectional sofa, open dining area, and a spacious fully equipped kitchen that can handle meals for the whole crew. A convenient half bath keeps the flow easy when everyone's coming in from the beach.
Bedrooms
- King Master Suite (top floor) — beachfront balcony, private ensuite with walk-in shower, Smart TV
- Queen Guest Room (second floor) — beachfront balcony, private ensuite with tub/shower combo, Smart TV
- Bunk Room (second floor) — full-over-full with trundle, private balcony, private ensuite, Smart TV — perfect for kids or extra guests

Kitchen & Living
Fully equipped kitchen with stainless appliances, drip coffee maker, Keurig, and everything you need for beach-day meal prep. Books, family games, and a huge sectional sofa make the living area just as inviting on a rainy afternoon as the decks are on a sunny one.
Outdoor & Ground Level
Gas grill and Polywood dining table on the main beachfront deck, outdoor shower at ground level, 2-car covered carport, stocked beach closet with cart and chairs, and direct beach access — no road to cross, no long walk. The bunk room's lower deck looks straight out over the gulf-front pool and clubhouse, just steps away.
Guest Access
Full private use of all three floors. Barrier Dunes community amenities — gulf-front pool, clubhouse, and private beach access via pavilion boardwalk — included for all guests.
This townhome, located in the gated community of Barrier Dunes. It is located right outside the gates to St Joseph Peninsula State Park. The park is a great place to explore and enjoy hiking trails, surrounded by St Joe Bay on three sides!
Barrier Dunes has 2 pools (One is direct beach front!), lighted tennis courts (the only ones in Cape San Blas!), 3 fresh water fishing ponds, playground, pet stations, boat washing and parking area, and boardwalks throughout
You will need a car to get around; however, Cape San Blas has a great biking trail! You can rent bikes (kayaks and many other things) from Scallop Cove right there on the cape.
If you're looking for a quiet family friendly vacation spot in the Florida Panhandle, this is the place to be! Avoid the crowds of Destin and Panama City! Cape San Blas doesn't even have a traffic light!

Absolutely beautiful, conveniently on the beach with amazing sunsets! It was great for our family. It did have 3 flights of stairs so if someone in your party can't do stairs, it wouldn't work. Parking was super tight for SUVS but for the location and accommodations, it was nice. I would definitely plan on going back to stay there.
