**Cape Casa — Dog-Friendly End Unit · Lakefront Deck & Gulf Views · 1 Min to Beach**
Cape Casa is Barrier Dunes' best-kept secret for guests who want beautifully curated interiors, serene lakefront living, and an easy one-minute walk to the beach without paying beachfront prices. This refreshed end-unit townhome earned its name — it genuinely feels like a home, not a rental, with designer decor, thoughtful touches throughout, and a main deck Polywood dining setup overlooking the community's freshwater lake where turtles surface on lazy mornings. The Gulf is a comfortable 200-step walk, and everything in between is pretty wonderful.

Cape Casa rewards guests who understand that the best beach vacation isn't always the one closest to the water — it's the one where every moment feels effortless and every corner feels considered. Mornings start at the kitchen bay window with coffee, sunlight catching the lake below, a turtle or two making their slow way through the water. The main deck is the natural gathering spot — Polywood table and chairs, the lake view doing all the work — before the group gathers up the beach gear and makes the easy one-minute walk to the sand. Days move at whatever pace feels right: surf, community pool, back to the shaded deck for an afternoon read. Evenings at Cape Casa have a particular charm — the gas grill fired up at ground level, the lake going golden in the late light, the designer living room waiting inside. This is the Cape San Blas that keeps people coming back year after year.
The main level is bright, stylish, and open-concept — fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar and bay window, dining area, comfortable living room with queen sleeper sofa and Smart TV, half bath, and direct access to the lake-view main deck with Polywood outdoor dining. The designer decor and refreshed finishes give Cape Casa a polish that feels more boutique than beach rental.

Cape Escape was a pleasure to work with throughout our stay. Communication was clear, timely, and professional, and everything about the process—from booking to check-out—was seamless. It was evident that they take pride in both the property and the guest experience, which gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our time at Barrier Dunes.

Super great!!!!!

I really appreciated the beautifully decorated condo and especially the cleanliness of the place. We have stayed in a few different condos at barrier dunes and this was by far the best! Would love one additional comfy chair or seating option in the living room though. Definitely didn't detract from our wonderful stay !
Leah - 09/09/2024




We loved our time at Cape Casa. It was the perfect little getaway. Thank you for creating such a clean, cozy space for us to enjoy!
Olena - 08/15/2024




Excellent spot for vacation! Nice and clean home, quiet neighborhood, good beach gear. Highly recommend!

Cape-tastic Family and dog friendly, gorgeous and relaxing place, with all the beauty of the Cape. We will definitely stay there again.
Victoria - 05/28/2024




This condo was perfect for our family stay! Clean, comfortable and close to the beach. We also really enjoyed the turtle pond!

The place was wonderful! Cape Casa was beautiful, well-decorated, clean, and just as described on her listing. She was very clear on what was provided (beach chairs, beach cart, etc and what wasn't (no complimentary bathroom products like shampoo/conditioner/soaps, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of paper towels, ) which I found to be very helpful in preparing what we needed to bring. She provided very clear directions on how to access the house and how to care for it. We stayed in the master bedroom, and the bed was very comfortable. Her STR was just a few short steps to the beach which made for easy back-and-forth throughout the day. Overall, we loved our stay here and will likely return.

Devi and Donavan were very helpful, answering all my questions and I had a lot never having been to the Cape before. I'm sure if I would have had any issues they would have "been on it" !
Bayn - 04/16/2024




We chose this property for its location. Close to the beach and the state park. The property was clean and well equipped for our short stay. It was quiet and relaxing. A very short walk to the either of the 2 pools and the beach.

Enjoyed our Stay We enjoyed our stay in Cape San Blas. Condo exceeded expectations and we will definitely be back.
Mary Kay - 04/08/2024




Heaven-the Barrier Dunes community is very much like a neighborhood-quiet, peaceful,accomadating One of the nicer condos in Barrier Dunes-enjoyed the turtles, the birds in the pond. Beach just a block away and pools in both directions
William - 01/13/2024




We loved our stay and will book again! Love the tasteful decor and very comfortable furnishings. Beds were great!
Tracy - 01/10/2024




We stayed for two weeks and it was great. The weather wasn't always perfect but we made our way to the beach most days. The condo was perfect in every way for us . The dog friendly environment was so fun without dotty loving the dogs to bark at . lol We definitely plan on coming back again and would highly recommend these condos for the proximity to the beach and peace and quiet away from the normal tourist destination.

The apartment is impeccably cleaned and with a very fashion decoration. It is even more beautiful than the photos. The condo is right at the beach, very convenient, an absolutely gorgeous, private and peaceful place. I would definitely return and totally recommend. Thanks Devi for allowing us to meet and stay at your and beautiful home.
Carole - 11/27/2023




Perfect place to stay. The beach is a close walk, and this unit has a pretty view of one of the ponds. Bed in master is very comfortable, and the kitchen is well stocked. Devi was very responsive to questions. We had a great Thanksgiving stay. The Cape is beautiful and our dog loved the beach!
Gina - 08/26/2023




Enjoyed our stay at Cape Casa! Townhouse was very clean. It looked just like the pictures! Just a short walk to the beach. Grounds were well kept and looked nice.
Melanie - 07/25/2023




Our stay was lovely 🙂
Jason - 07/22/2023




Absolutely gorgeous! If you haven't been to the Cape, you're wrong! Pictures simply do not do this property justice. It was pristine! Check in was perfect. Location was only a short walk to the beach. We loved having all the beach gear provided as that takes up a large portion of our packing space. I can't imagine booking anywhere else after taking this trip. Will check availability here before booking anywhere else in the future.
Amy - 07/10/2023




Clean and updated house. Convenient location, walkable to the beach. Beach gear provided plus credit given for another beach gear supplier. Very clear instructions given for check in, well in advance. I had some trouble finding the place (my own fault for looking at the wrong house number in the email) and Devi was extremely friendly and responsive. 2.5 baths is a plus when you have 5 people. Can see turtles very clearly from the multiple decks. Bedrooms are spacious and clean. Neighborhood is quiet and very dog friendly with bathroom baggies and trash located throughout. I was a bit surprised that you had to go up a flight of stairs to enter the main living spaces but that’s no big deal, just good to know so you can mentally prepare to bring coolers and luggage up. Parking was covered which was great. Hose and outdoor shower outside made for easy cleaning off before entering the home. Everything was bright and perfect. Would highly recommend and would stay again. Thank you, Devi!!!
Christy - 07/05/2023




Beautiful condo with multiple entrances to one of the most beautiful beaches. Not a lot of local restaurants or grocery shopping so be prepared with pre-bought food or use one of the grocery delivery options suggested by the host. But the condo has everything you need for a peaceful beach vacation.
Jason - 06/27/2023




The house was very clean (seemed newly remodeled), well stocked, and very comfortable. It was a close walk to the beach. The kids enjoyed looking at the turtles in the pond right behind the house. Will definitely stay here again.
Mary - 05/28/2023




We just loved this rental. Immaculate, fully stocked, and wonderfully appointed. You will lack for nothing in this beautiful home. Truly a 5-star vacation home. We look forward to our return in this same unit next year! Thank you Devi for taking such great care of your guests, we really felt special every day of our trip at the Cape.
Terra - 04/10/2023




The condo was beautiful, very clean , and well supplied . Can’t wait to book our next stay
