Our Thanksgiving Getaway

Our stay at Cape Escape was just wonderful! My husband and I were impressed with all the extras that were provided,and the place was immaculate when we arrived. We were well taken care when we had even the smallest of questions! The beach was an easy walk for these two 70 year olds, so anyone can get there in a second (pools,too). We rode our bikes all over the island safely on the bike paths and enjoyed the State Park one day. I would highly recommend this beautiful townhome!

Blew away my expectations

Barrier Dunes - literally shocked me. One of the most beautiful condos and community ive ever stayed… the unit was beyond clean but had towels etc for us as well as for our dogs… games fot the toddler… all amenities and was spotless… extremely comfortable beds and completely exceeded my expectations for a place allowing dogs. Devi the manager was unreal… she was genuinely excited that we were coming and made sure we had all we needed. No question about whether i will stay here again. Quiet community, great neighborhood, great neighbors, great cleaning staff, and great management. Thank you!!! Oh and amazing beaches with crazy easy access!!!

Great accommodations, perfect location

We have been renting from Cape Escape Vacation Rentals since 2006, and this year’s trip was just as good as always. Wendy does a great job keeping her units well furnished and up to date. Including little extras like beach chairs and sand toys makes a big difference.Business is really rebounding in the Cape San Blas/Port St Joe area following Hurricane Michael and COVID. But the beaches remain pristine and uncrowded, just the way we like them.We look forward to our time on Cape San Blas every year, and Cape Escape Vacation Rentals provides the perfect destination.

Beautiful!

Cape Escape 1 was fantastic. Nice setting, beautiful grounds and the condo was clean as a whistle and well stocked. Loved having a gas grill on the deck. We enjoyed walking, biking and playing tennis. But, the show stopper was the beach. Just a few steps and your toes were in the sugary sand. We walked it each morning and evening, then returned each night for the gorgeous sunsets. Thank you, Wendy, for making it a great vacation in a great property. We will be back!

Winter Escape to the Cape

Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Cape San Blas. This is a hidden area which is a gem for a quiet couples getaway to a family-friendly vacation. I wish the weather had been better for us to enjoy some of the water activities but it surely gave me a taste to come back - I'm already looking at my calendar! And the seafood - YUMMY!The property was fabulous! All kinds of terrific amenities, great location - just steps to the pool house and beach - and the master suite was my favorite! Wendy made the booking so very easy all I had to do was show up!Everywhere we went at the Barrier Dunes, there were friendly people walking - a lot with their four legged friends - and it gave the whole area a super safe & comfortable feel!Highly recommend Cape Escapes for any kind of travel to this fabulous treasure of an area! Did I mention we loved it?!

Awesome Rental

I rented Cape Escape I for a week and it was perfect. Well appointed and comfortable. Wendy is awesome. She is so responsive and provides so much information about the Cape and the unit. CEI is perfectly situation within Barrier Dunes. Close to tennis, the pool and the beach.

Great Beaches and Dog Friendly

Cape Escape's units are always clean and have everything you need. We have stayed at the Barrier Dunes numerous times since the late 1980s and it is a nice development with all the amenities that blends into the landscape unlike a giant concrete box. The beach is lovely and dog friendly.

Relaxing vacation!

We are familiar with Barrier Dunes but this is the first time booking with Cape Escape. We found the condo to be quiet, clean, comfortable and a perfect place for relaxing. We spent everyday on the beach except one (we rented a boat and spent that one day on the bay). The pools we're clean. The grounds were well kept. It was nice having our own laundry room for washing wet suits and towels. We loved having the gas grill for grilling steaks and grouper. The back patio was very private, which was nice for early morning coffee. We will definitely rent here again. Wendy was wonderful to work with.

Great escape to Cape Escape I on Cape San Blas

Hubby and I had a wonderful escape to Wendy's Cape Escape 1. She made the reservations and check in info clear and easy as possible. The rental was immaculately clean and very very cozy. The walk to the beach was easy, about the distance of a typical city block. Beach was absolutely gorgeous. Wendy's beach chairs in the garage were lighter and easier to carry than the camp chairs we brought, so very appreciated. When we were tired of swimming and bobbing in the ocean and beach sitting, and wanted to chill at "home" Cape Escape, we really loved hanging out on the back porch, which is ideally situated in that it faces north east, so is in shade after the early morning and is ringed by some nice palm trees. Great little community with plenty of room to spread out on beach. We enjoyed grouper and scallops dinner at Provisions in Port St Joe about 15 minutes drive away. Note to readers, basically all homes on San Blas including Cape Escape have stairs... lots of stairs... the houses are on "stilts" so living unit is a flight up and bedrooms typically another flight up. And stairs to get over sand dunes... so be aware for less mobile able family members. Thanks, Wendy!

Wonderful Week on the Cape!

My 2 daughters (20 & 15) and I stayed in Barrier Dunes during our week of spring break from Indiana. Things were just about to change with the coronavirus and while the week was stressful with the new and the threat of the beaches closing, Barrier Dunes was a perfect, peaceful place to escape all of the worry, but still stay safe with uncrowded beaches and accommodations.Wendy was very pleasant and responsive. The condo was neat and tidy, clean and had more than everything we needed. While our condo wasn't on the beach but about 3 rows back, it was a flat easy walk, close enough to leave the beach to refill your tea glass and come back.We have been to PSJ the past 2 years and always end up swimming/beaching at the cape because it is so beautiful and full of wildlife, so we were excited to actually stay on the cape this time. We would get up, breakfast on the patio, my kids would fish the small ponds (which need some time to stock up again after the hurricane) and we would head to the beach or the state park to explore. Evenings were my favorite after dinner to bring a hoodie and a frisbee and wait for the dolphins to swim by and the sun to leave the cape golden until it set. We didn't use the pool because we love the beach too much and can use a pool in Indiana, but we saw others use it and it was clean and looked nice.It has only been 6 weeks, but I'm ready to come back already, once the beaches and rentals open back up. Thanks for a wonderful place to make lasting memories!

Cozy and clean beach condo

We've had the pleasure of staying at the Cape Escape I&II. Big Thanks to Wendy Jackson for always making everything so simple. The family-friendly beach condo is always clean and truly feels like home away from home. The hardest part of the trip is leaving! We look forward to returning soon!

Simply PERFECT. Pet friendly Paradise!

A paradise for the entire family, including the furry ones. Excellent place to relax and forget about the stress of life. The house had everything we could possible need and more. It is decorated nicely and kept really clean. Our dogs had a blast and we finally had the vacation we dreamed about it. We wanted a place to really rest, enjoy great views and be worry free about our dogs because they were with us. It worked really great. The communication since inquiring, reserving, getting ready to travel and after completing the trip was 100% best customer service ever. Wendy is great, she kept us informed and she was open for any questions we might had. We are definitely going back and we have already told our family and friends about the place and posting great pictures on Facebook. We loved our stay and cant wait to go back. Thank you for everything.

Peaceful Relaxing stay

This is our third visit to the Cape and while the weather was the least favorable, we still had a great time. I have always stayed at Cape Escape I and Wendy is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her and the multiple units she has in Barrier Dunes. We always look forward to getting back to Cape San Blas. So much progress on recovery from Michael.

AMAZING!!!!!

Cape San Blas is Amazing!!!! Our stay was fantastic compliments of our condo through Cape Escape Vacation Rentals. The Cape was amazing and it was so great to see how much business was alive and thriving so soon after Hurricane Michael. The beaches were beautiful, fishing was bountiful and our dog was able to vacation with us!!!! We will definitely be back. After telling our family about how amazing it was they stopped on the cape twice during their stay in a nearby town. See you again soon Cape San Blas

A unique and wonderful place to stay and visit

Cape San Blas and the St Joseph Penninsula are amazing places to visit. We were interested in a place that had easy access to a beach and pool, dogs were welcomed, and was, above all, relaxing and fun! The Cape Escape was everything we wanted and more for our vacation. We will have to return to fully explore everything the area has to offer. I highly recommend staying there.

Beautiful condo/Awesome beach!

My husband and I stayed at Cape Escape 1 at Barrier Dunes. This condo had everything we could possibly need for our stay, from kitchen items right down to the beach cart! It was big enough to carry our chairs and all of our beach gear with ease. We were a bit hesitant to return to Cape San Blas so soon after hurricane Michael, but the beaches and sunsets were still just as beautiful! We additionally got to witness a turtle laying her eggs on the beach...on Mother’s Day! Wendy from Cape Escape Vacation Rentals called us to let us know as it was nesting season. She remained very helpful during our stay, and promptly answered any questions we had. We were also lucky enough to see a bald Eagle on one of our day trips! We cannot wait to go back, and will bring our pups next time! The unit even had dog towels, and other pet items on hand. Although the Cape is still recovering in some ways from hurricane Michael it’s charm and beauty still remains. The resilience and spirit of its residents was evident in everyone we met.
