About the owner: View all of my listings at Cape Escape Vacation Rentals.
Some of our favorite things to do are: Bonfires at the beach after sunset, scalloping in the bay, kayaking, Indian Pass Raw Bar to enjoy oysters, crab legs & steam shrimp as well as great local music and company, a day poking around the stores (and eating) in Apalachicola many things!

I look forward to having you enjoy a Cape Escape soon!

Guestbook comments from the host:

My family and I stayed in Turtle Tracks for 3 nights and enjoyed every minute of it. The owner was quick to answer any questions we had and the home was very clean. It was a quick walk to the beach and pool, even with 4 children. This is our second time booking with Cape Escape vacation rentals and we will definitely book again.


Jun 2020

Turtle Tracks is a great property that is located very close to the beach and the state park. There are plenty of beach chairs and other supplies to make your trip convenient! The host did a great job communicating with us!


Jul 2019

My husband, daughter, and I just spent a week at Turtle Tracks. This was our first time going to the Cape. Wendy was incredible to work with and the communication was awesome! The home was beyond perfect, pristine, and comfortable. It had everything we needed and more!!! For those of you who think the Cape isn't ready for visitors, you are so wrong! The beach is perfect and the gulf is just beautiful. This was also the first time our "baby" (aka French Bulldog) went to the beach. It was challenging to find a pet-friendly home close to the beach and I am so thankful I found Cape Escape! This is definitely our new "home away from home" and can't wait to book next years vacation! Thank you Wendy for thinking of everything and for allowing us to stay in the home. We will treasure the memories we made at the Cape.


Jul 2019

We loved our time in the unit and appreciated that it was clean when we arrived. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and you were spot on with directions on access and flexible with our check-in. We were especially pleased that it all happened at the last minute and you were so accommodating so thank you!

It’s my second stay in these units and I’ll be sure to return. I’m happy to recommend to others.


Nov 2018

We had a great time at Turtle Tracks (Barrier Dunes 188). The condo had everything we needed and then some. The beach was beautiful and the kids loved the pool too.


Jul 2018

We had an amazing time at the Cape. It was indeed the perfect getaway and was even more special because we were able to bring “the Big Man” along with us. Turtle Tracks (Barrier Dunes 188) was ideal for us and as you described….left us wanting nothing!

We met several new friends on the beach, all of whom spoke very highly of you and your properties and we couldn’t have been more content. I am attaching some pictures of Dudley who enjoyed the waves to the point that each evening we had to DRAG him out of the water!


Jul 2018

We had a wonderful time & the condo was very nice & very, very clean. The way the condo was supplied was just incredible. You and your staff are very professional & were always available. Hopefully we will be returning later in the summer.

Townhouse in a Beautiful Setting

The townhouse in Barrier Dunes had EVERYTHING we needed for staying in and going to the beach-including a beach cart, chairs etc. We thoroughly enjoyed the local attractions including biking to TH Stone state park, St Joe and Cape San Blase gulf and bay activities. The local restaurants were great too. The property is family and pet friendly and super quiet and clean!!

Where fun and relaxing collide!

We just stayed at Turtle Tracks. We had a great time, the beach was quiet and the waters were clear. Wendy was extremely helpful, sending someone right away to replace a lightbulb that we couldn’t reach. We enjoyed the very many beautiful sunsets on the top deck and we even extended our stay because we loved the area so much!

Best Place To Vacation - Port St. Joe, Florida

What a great place to relax, enjoy the sunshine and unplug from work. Cape Escape Vacation Rentals in particular Turtle Tracks-Barrier Dunes at Port St. Joe, Florida--Condo was spacious, very nicely furnished, super clean and could walk to the Beach within minutes. There is a pool, tennis court and you can even grill out at your own Condo if you want. Wendy Jackson goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is enjoyable.You can bring your Dogs and take walks on the Beach and ride the waves with them. Plenty of room on Beach for families to spread out and enjoy quiet time with each other. Beach is Clean and the Sunsets are Beautiful; just a fantastic and safe place to Vacation and I hope next Summer we can stay longer.

Everything you need.

Perfect, relaxing, well stocked, clean, pet friendly condo just steps to the beach. Really appreciated having the beach cart, chairs and cooler that most other condos do not provide. Management was responsive, flexible and very easy to work with. Hope to get back there soon.

Turtle Tracks does not disappoint

We had a week stay at the Turtle Tracks. It was super clean, very well stocked with so many extra things that most condos we have stayed in other places didn’t offer. It is a short walk with to the beach. Very quite area and family friendly area. I loved the layout of the condo with the upstairs master bedroom. I would definitely recommend and stay again.

Terrific Time at Turtle Tracks!

We just returned from yet another terrific stay at CSB. We have been renting from Wendy for years now and always have a great time in any of her 11 properties. Turtle Tracks is beautiful and did not disappoint. We appreciate how well maintained the homes are and how Wendy provides anything you could possibly want/need in a vacation home. We especially liked the short walk to the beach and loved the view of the Gulf from the MBR. We enjoyed the sunsets even when we didn't get down to the beach because you can enjoy them from any deck! We hope to move to CSB someday but until we do, renting any of Wendy's properties at Barrier Dunes is a no-brainer for us!

Wonderful place to stay. Very clean and modern.

This is a beautiful condo. Very clean and modern. Close to the beach. Dog friendly. The condo has everything you could possibly need for your stay. Will definitely come back to stay here again. Beautiful dog friendly beach with white sand. Master bedroom is gorgeous and huge. Wendy was very easy to work with. Loved the keypad lock so didn't have to worry about having a key.

Awesome!!!!!

Turtle Tracks was just what I wanted. I have worked at home since March because of COVID and I needed a change of scenery. My dogs and I loved the Barrier Dunes complex taking nice relaxing walks. The weather was beautiful such that I could sleep with the sliding doors open. Just what the doctor ordered! Also, Wendy you are so helpful providing all the information for my stay. I will be back soon!!!!

Amazing Stay in Turtle Tracks!

Our stay at Turtle Tracks was awesome! Our arrival was a breeze, and everything was ready for us. We even got to check in early because the cleaning crew worked so fast during the morning of our arrival. The place had everything we needed for a great week, and Wendy was so helpful in answering our questions about the area. We will definitely be back for another “Cape Escape!”

Relaxing

My family and dogs enjoyed our stay ! The pros include the pristine dog-friendly beach, the relative isolation and quiet,comfortable clean condo,and star-filled night sky ! We observed dolphins,jellyfish,and sea turtles while kayaking the ocean . We were fortunate to avoid a threatening hurricane that changed course before reaching the area . The few cons include the relentless biting flies and mosquitos, and relative lack of good restaurants nearby-hurricane Michael . The area continues to recover from hurricane Michael-alot of damaged/missing trees and rebuilding of nearby park continues . We recommend the Sand Dollar in port St Joe for satisfying comfort food !

The Best Stay

There are a lot of things I liked about this condo. First, it was super clean. Second, anything I could have possibly wanted, Wendy had already in the condo (like an extra propane tank, towels, spices, a blender, etc.). Third, it was steps from the beach (and she had chairs, floats, and a buggy to bring them all down to the beach with)! Finally, and this is more a personal thing for me, but it was a great place to view the meteor shower. You can see lots of stars and even the edge of the Milky Way. I definitely will stay here again! Thanks again for everything!

Was not disappointed

We really enjoyed our stay at Turtle Tracks. The area was amazing between the quiet retreats in nature and the beautiful ocean. Everybody was so friendly. We happened to be staying at the same time as the property manager and she was so kind! It felt great to know we had a friend at the Cape. We brought our one year old daughter with us and it was so nice to have some of the comforts of home. Just about anything we needed was provided, including a high chair and pack n play. The only thing I wish I packed was a baby gate because of the stairs. Just a heads up for anyone coming with small children. We will definitely be back.

Consistently fabulous!

We rent from Wendy every year, and every year it is the same fantastic experience. All her condos are beautifully furnished and clean with all the amenities. Our friends are always amazed when we tell them about all the things that are provided — cookware, linens, beach chairs, sand toys. Cape San Blas is a beautiful beach, and we are always able to sit and relax for a week and get away from the real world. It’s just about the most perfect place on earth!

Very nice place.

We stayed at Turtle tracks for 3 nights and we were very impressed. It was very clean and had everything we needed.It was just a short walk to the beach and pool. We would definitely stay again. The owner was very quick at answering any questions we had.

Great stay at Turtle Tracks!

June 2020 My family of five had a wonderful stay in Cape San Blas at Turtle Tracks! The condo is at a very convenient location to the beach....and a short drive to the park, where we were able to enjoy some time on the bay with a pontoon rental! The condo was very clean, and had every accessory we needed to enjoy our stay! Thanks so much! We will be back next year!

Great location

My family and I just stayed in Wendys condo at Cape San Blas. Turtle tracks was great, it was in a great location. It had everything we needed, laundry detergent, dishwasher soap. We had chairs for the beach and a nice cart to carry them down in. We really enjoyed ourselves and hope to get back before too long.

Turtle Tracks stay

We have rented from Cape Escape numerous times and have never been disappointed. Wendy offers personal attention to your stay and makes you feel that you are her top priority. This was our first stay in Turtle Tracks and we enjoyed it as we have all of our previous visits to Cape Escape properties.All beach items are provided other than an umbrella, and that helps greatly with packing. We found them to be in good shape and enjoyed using the cart that is provided to take our beach items to our spot on the beach. A cooler is even provided so you don’t have to get yours sandy.The outside shower was a nice amenity to wash off sand prior to going inside (much better with warm water) and our beagle didn’t even seem to mind a warm rinse after her outside bath.The unit is clean, comfortable, and inviting, with comfortable seating and a very large master bedroom. Wendy provides several bath towels and wash cloths so we didn’t feel the need to constantly wash. We also love that pet towels, sheets, and dishes are provided for your pooch.We had an issue with WiFi when we first arrived, but this issue was proactively addressed in the Turtle Tracks renter notebook. After a quick text to Wendy, to which she promptly responded, and a quick call to the internet provider, the issue was easily resolved and we had no issues for the remainder of our stay.Turtle Tracks is a wonderful place to spend a Cape San Blas vacation and we highly recommend Cape Escape and Wendy Jackson as an excellent host.

Wonderful experience!!!

This condo was beautiful! It was very spacious and came with many amenities. We really felt the owners took the Covid crisis seriously providing extra supplies and taking extra precautions. Would rent this particular unit when we go back to The Cape!

Perfect!

This condo was in the perfect location from both the beach and pool. It was quiet and peaceful. The condo itself was well stocked and clean. There were beach chairs, toys, and a beach cart. We have stayed at Barrier Dunes annually for the past 10 years and Turtle Tracks was one of the best units we’ve stayed in. We will definitely be back!

Perfect as usual!

Turtle Tracks is in an awesome location in Barrier Dunes - literally just steps to the beach. This is the third time we have rented from Wendy and her units are always clean, well appointed, and exactly as described on the website. Everything you need for a short stay is already there, including spices, paper products, and grill gas. Cape San Blas is well recovered from last year's storm, there is still some construction going on but for the most part it is open, ready for business, and as beautiful as ever. Our dogs love this beach and we are so grateful to have a place to vacation with them and are so appreciative of Wendy's ready acceptance of our fur babies!

A perfect week on the Cape

Turtle Tracks is a little slice of heaven on Cape San Blas! The home is immaculate and has everything you need and more. It offers a nice view of the gulf which is just a few steps away. The best part was being able to bring our dog who got acclimated to her surroundings right away. The communication with Wendy was amazing as she responded immediately to all my questions and was willing to go above and beyond to make our stay in the home wonderful. The grounds are well-kept and the beach and gulf are just beautiful! This is our new "happy place" and we can't wait to go back again and again.

Turtle Tracks

CSB is beautiful! Despite the destruction from Michael, it is still beautiful. If you are wondering should you come to CSB right now, I say yes! I am so glad that we did. We were not hindered and were able to do everything that we planned to do on a beach vacation. We had a great time staying in Wendy's unit. The unit is everything described and then some. Check in is easy, communication is superb, and her cleaning staff is a top notch team.

Well equipped, pet friendly, close to beach townhome in beautiful Cape San Blas!

I have to say we were a little hesitant to return to the Cape after Hurricane Michael, but we were so glad we did. The Cape is still as beautiful as ever. Yes, some of our favorite restaurants are no longer around, but we found new ones that are just as awesome. Still love the Trading Post and all the wonderful people that are involved there. Please come and support the beautiful Forgotten Coast.... you will not be disappointed. They really need are help and the best way to do support them is to rent their condos and townhomes! And, especially the townhomes rented by the Cape Escape!! Thanks, Wendy! See you next Spring!
