Perfect Location    Aug 05, 2023

review star

This is my second time staying at one of Jenny's properties. I've honestly never had a better experience. The property is lovely and has so many great accommodations like the umbrellas and beach towels. It is located just a very short walk from the beautiful dog friendly beach, which is almost never crowded. Jenny is an incredible host. She is so easy to work with and is great about communicating with her renters. Honestly, I could write a 500-word review about how wonderful this place and owners are, but who wants to read all that. Just trust me when I say, you don't want to pass on this perfect location.

Great location    Aug 13, 2022

This was our first time staying in Cape San Blas and Funseeker was perfect for our family (2 adults, 2 kids and our dog). Our kids loved the bunkbeds in the first floor bedroom and mom and dad enjoyed our own space on the second floor. The unit was clean and well-maintained and all appliances were in great condition. Funseeker is located a few houses down from both the beach entrance and the gulf front pool making it easy to come and go throughout the day. The beach and pool were never really crowded and there was always plenty of space to spread out. The unit provided beach gear, toys, and a cart which were very useful as well. Overall, this is a great unit for a small family!

Beach Blast!    Jun 25, 2022

review star

This was our first time in Cape San Blas as we have typically been going down to 30A in Watercolor/Seaside/Rosemary Beach. This place was exactly what we were looking for. Although locals and return visitors may have thought it was crowded, this place was not even close to being crowded compared to the main 30A area. The unit was perfect for our family of 5. Inside had everything we needed, but more importantly was how close the unit is to the beach. We could go back and forth between the beach and our unit without dreading how long or difficult the walk would be. What’s also great is the amount of beach gear we were able to use that came with the unit. Between beach chairs, toys, pumps, and umbrellas, I probably didn’t need to bring some of our personal beach gear. Lastly, Jenny was great! She made everything easy and provided an abundant amount of information prior to our arrival. That made things very easy for us. We can’t wait to go back and will definitely use Jenny again!

I have been coming to the Cape San Blas for over 10 years and stay 5 to 6 times a year and this place is definitely one of my top ones in Barrier Dunes. It was clean and it had been renovated and it had everything I needed. A bonus was it was very close to the beach and Jennie is wonderful to work with and I had no complaints or nothing the whole time I was there. Definitely will rent again and again and again!

Funseeker was a perfect unit. Perfect location. You are steps from the pool, steps from the beach and the lake behind you. We have 4 boys and it accommodated everyone with plenty of room. Amenities are huge when renting at barrier dunes, and you don’t need to bring a thing. I highly recommend this unit and location if you have children for sure. Definitely a must rent!

1st Visit to Cape San Blas - FANTASTIC!!!    Jul 17, 2021

review star

Funseeker had a last minute cancellation, literally 4 days before our vacation, and we took the plunge and booked it. We had never been to the Cape and this location is WONDERFUL!!! Jenny was so easy to work with and the townhome was well stocked. Our fur babies loved it as well and the gate on the back deck was perfect for letting them be outside with us. The only thing we missed was our bed. ?? We will definitely be back!!!

We had a great time at Barrier Dune's FunSeeker. The property was neat and clean, with everything we needed. With the situation being a Hurricane impacted the area to the west a few days before we arrived, we were a little concerned. We were pleasantly surprised to find the beach was beautiful and the water cleared up for a great stay. Everything we needed was provided. We found an property-owner that was great to work with - COVID 19 delayed our original trip and Jennie was more than willing to work with us, which is both appreciated and refreshing in today's world. Will stay here again on the Cape - it was awesome with clean beaches and a nice slow pace to the days!

July 2020 was our second visit to Funseekers. The condo is very well maintained, the property is great and the beach is a DREAM! The owner is very responsive and we found everything we needed ready for our stay. Cape San Blas is truly a find- great local restaurants, lovely state park beach and we totally love kayaking on the bayside. I highly recommend Funseekers and Cape San Blas!

Funseeker, on the west end of Cape San Blas, is near-to-perfect: clean, up-to-date, QUIET, calm, 50 yards to the sand, at the end of a dead-end road adjacent to a state park. A fabulous combination. The owners are attentive and responsive. Beaches are clean and uncluttered; nearby stores well stocked; sunsets scheduled for every night. Give it a try.

This place is great! Super clean, quiet, and really close to the beach! The house is so cozy and very well maintained! The neighborhood is safe and everyone is really friendly! If you're looking for a fast pace, wild party, crowded beach...this place is NOT that scene! If you're looking for a quiet place to just be one with the beach and ocean, a quiet, comfy place to just relax and leave everything behind... this is it! Beautiful accommodations, super soft sand, quick walk to the water! We are in love and we will definitely be back... SOON!!!

FunSeeker Excellence    Jun 15, 2019

review star


We recently stayed at Fun Seeker June 15-22. Overall, it was an excellent experience. We have been coming to the forgotten coast for 7 years. I was hesitant about a condo, because we had always stayed in a gulf front home. My concerns were quickly put to ease. Everything was exactly as described. The accomodations were clean and well equipped. The gulf was literally only steps away, as well as the pool. We had the opportunity to meet the owners while there, and they are great people, very responsive to concerns. There were a couple of minor issues noted on check in and they were addressed immediately, although they were not detractors from our stay. Jenny, the owner, stayed in contact to ensure everything was up to our expectations. I would definitely recomend Fun Seeker, and the owners, to anyone looking for a great vacation experience in the best location in the country.

This property owner thought of everything! Not only do you not have to bring beach towels, but they have dog towels, necessities such as chairs, umbrellas, toys and flashlights for the beach. There's even a book with every question you can possibly have answered from cable to restaurants to recipies. The place is well furnished, immaculate and peaceful. Dogs on the beach, fires on the beach--this place is my long lost home. I can't say enough of the owner and the care taken yo the unit. The beach is beautiful, not crowded and is the place to go for anything. I cannot wait to return and will absolutely be back at the Funseeker over and over.

We have been going to the beach for over 50 years including the last 13 to the Port St. Joe area. We plan to go there for the rest of our lives. FunSeeker was the most enjoyable, complimenting place we have ever stayed. Anything you could possibly want for a beach trip is provided at this property. We are going back within the next 2 months and many times after that. Awesome experience!!!

Great family vacation in early June 2018    Jun 12, 2018

Our family stayed in Funseeker in the first week in June. The condo was very clean and decorated so cute! We were so pleased with our choice. My daughter loved "her" room with the bunk bed and double bed on the bottom as well as tv in her room. Having a master suite on the top level worked out great for the adults. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. My husband and daughter really appreciated having the various options on the smart tv when relaxing in the house. The location of the condo within the complex was great. Easy walking to beach. We really appreciated the extras - the outdoor shower, the beach towels and all of the beach supplies like chairs, umbrellas and toys. The beach itself was amazing. Not crowded and lots of shells. The local restaurants and shops on CSB were great and the local people were so friendly. It was our first visit to CSB and it won't be our last. Our experience working with Jenny was terrific. Being a person that likes details - she provided us with great information about the condo and the local area. I recommend Funseeker for your next vacation!

The Best Place On The Cape!    Apr 19, 2018

Funseeker was everything we hoped for and more! Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. We loved everything about the property. It's very clean and well-maintained. The decor is perfect for a seaside retreat. The kids loved the bunkbed room and the upstairs is so airy and open and beautifully decorated. The pond was a huge hit too. The kids caught a lot of fish and loved seeing and naming all the turtles. Hi Snickers! The location of the unit was wonderful as it is just a few steps to the pool and the beach. We were grateful for all the beach gear and used everything- umbrellas, chairs, sand toys and towels. We had a bonfire on the beach every night. The binder of information waiting for us on the table was like having our very own concierge, thorough and comprehensive. We referred to it often for everything from restaurant suggestions, (be sure to check out Coneheads!) snorkeling tours, to garbage pick up days. Jenny was an absolute dream to work with. We just fell in love with this place and hope to make returning to Funseeker a new family tradition! Thank you so much Jenny for everything!

Funseeker was a perfect place for our family of four and dog. Jennie did a great job of following up and making sure our stay was perfect. We didn't have any issues while there. The unit featured great WiFi, great TV, comfortable furniture and a great deck overlooking a fountained pond with turtles and fish. We fed the turtles off of our deck. You can even see the beach from the Master bedroom deck. Speaking of the beach, it is only a few steps away. A bonus was Netflix available for watching as well. Provided in the unit was beach towels, all the small appliances you need, beach chairs and an umbrella. Will definitely choose Funseeker again.

Absolutely Lovely!    Jan 03, 2018

We had a wonderful time in this cozy, well-equipped townhome. We were pleasantly surprised it was in a gated community, and the residents/vacationers were very nice. There's a pool overlooking the beach, but since the weather was very cold, close to freezing on one day, we loved the heated pool next to the tennis courts. Access to the beach is only a few steps from the front door of the unit. The rental had everything, nice cookware, the gas grill was great, and our kids loved sleeping on the top bunk bed, and my wife and I loved waking up in the upstairs bedroom, with the nice little view where you could actually see the water right from the bed. Having access to Netflix was icing on the cake. Would love to come back for sure.
