This was one of our favorite vacations! The condo was awesome! There is a great view of the ocean from the upper floor balcony. The kitchen was fully stocked. We loved the outdoor shower and water hose to wash off the sand. We enjoyed the big tv in the living area at night. The beds were comfy. Wendy was great to work with. There is even a beach closet with chairs, toys, and a beach cart. Take your bikes and ride to the pool or walk if you choose. Everything was really close. We were a few short steps to the beach along a short well-paved path. We loved the bay and the ocean. We saw dolphins, sharks, birds, frogs, lizards, and even a bobcat!!! We loved every second! Don’t think twice about renting from Wendy! She was great! You won’t regret it!!!
Ron & Deb Miller
Took a chance on barrier dunes last year not knowing what to expect. To make a long story short..we had the best vacation with our 8-year-old Bassett in 20 years. (who we never leave alone or board). We met fantastic couples with their dogs.(who were regular renters for the past 6 to 10 years at Barrier Dnes). We have kept in touch with them all year and we met them in February 2021 for another great time. Our "Turtle Crawl" condo has everything we need, including dog bowls, an outside hot water shower and special towels for dogs. It's immaculate and very welcoming. We certainly don't want any surprises in accommodations after driving 23 hours from Wisconsin. Wendy makes sure we have everything we need. She is but a phone call away. We have already secured our 5 weeks stay for next year. It's so peaceful and the beach is not crowded.
Kenna Hess
What a great place to relax & unwind! We had an amazing time and couldn’t have asked for better accommodations. It was so convenient to have all of the beach accessories and household items provided, a definite first for us! Wendy was incredibly helpful and provided top-notch recommendations! Looking forward to visiting the Cape again soon!
Chris & Julie Fernstrum
We had never been to Cape San Blas and not to the beach in October either. We will totally do it again! The area was absolutely gorgeous!
The rental was perfectly stocked with everything we needed to cook and grill and the beach chairs and toys were perfect for us.
We brought our dog and 2 daughters and had plenty of space in the condo and it was clean and only steps from the beach boardwalk. Totally loved this trip!
M. Peterson
What a wonderful extended weekend with husband, daughter and parents, Sept. 19-22, 2020 Turtle Crawl had everything we needed. I was thoroughly impressed with the cleanliness of the unit as well as the grounds. One would never guess it was a pet friendly unit, it was immaculate. Such a friendly, quiet community, the perfect escape. I think our fur babies enjoyed it even more than we did. The service provided by Wendy was exceptional. It is not to often that you find someone so professional, yet so personable, so kind, so prompt, yet so attentive to all details, needs and wants. She's amazing! I highly recommend. We can't wait to get back to the Cape!
Brian Reed
The condo was very well set up for both people and pets. The showers and water-hose on the ground level were perfect to get the sand and saltwater off everyone when returning from the beach. The view of the Gulf from the upper balcony were breathtaking especially at sunset. We will be back in the years to come.
Beth Hayes & family (and dogs)
We absolutely loved staying at Turtle Crawl. We were able to bring our pets and literally we were a short easy walk to the beach! Literally steps to the ocean. The condo was everything we could have wanted, super comfortable furniture with all the things you need if you want to cook at home. This was the perfect place for our family and we will definitely be back to stay at Turtle Crawl.
Sally Hutzell
We had a great two weeks at the Cape. In June, we stayed in Cape Escape II & in July the Turtle Crawl unit. Both units were very clean, set up well, and well stocked with paper products, soaps, and detergents. Our 7th year to the Cape, and our first time using Cape Escape Vacation Rentals. Wendy was more than helpful when we made our reservations and always available when we had questions. We will definitely use Cape Escape Vacation Rentals again!
So glad you found the homes clean & well provisioned! We will look forward to having you back again! NOTE: You can see Cape Escape II on www.TheCapeEscape.com
Melissa Tyner
We had an amazing time as always staying at Turtle Crawl. Wendy with Cape Escape makes renting so easy, the home is beautiful and furnished with everything you would possibly need for your beach getaway! Can’t wait to go back soon!!!
Cary Wood,
My husband and I along with our daughter’s family returned recently from our vacation at Cape San Blas where we stayed at Turtle Crawl. It was a very nice condo with everything we needed and more. Very very very clean. We felt right at home. Our three dogs were welcome and they had as much fun as we did. Thanks Wendy for making sure our stay was terrific!
Drew & Debbie Barber
What a wonderful experience. The Cape is truly an escape to an amazing beach. Our dog, Cassie made many new friends both canine and human, as did we. The Barrier Dunes Condo was great, as was Wendy Jackson to work with. She truly goes above and beyond. We will be back next year!
Lori G.
Beautiful Beaches! Great amenities! Super place for kids!
Lynn Tracy
Just returned from a wonderful week at my favorite beach! This is the third time we have rented from Wendy and she is amazing to work with. My four-legged baby loves running on the beach and meeting other fur-babies. The sunsets are incredible and star gazing amazing! Looking forward to our return in November. Thank you, Wendy!
Zach Chester
This condo is nice and clean with lots of thoughtful touches. The check-in info, location of garbage, amenities, check-out info, etc. was excellent. It made for a hassle-free and relaxing stay.
The Durham Family
We really enjoyed the condo. It was spacious and comfortable. The additional beach gear was extremely helpful to us as a family with small children! We were also really pleased with the massive binder of menus, things to do and other information. Not every place we have stayed in the past has provided those things and it truly makes a difference. We had everything we needed and loved our trip to the Cape. The icing on the cake was getting to see a loggerhead sea turtle make its nest right in front of the complex. Turtle Crawl was aptly named and perfect for our family vacation.
Thank you!
The Durham Family
L. Staab
Our stay at Turtle Crawl was wonderful. The unit itself was beautiful, comfortable, and just a short walk to the beach. We loved the dog friendly location as well as all the amenities. The turtle filled lakes were beautiful. We definitely will be returning for another great vacation in the future.
George Kelly
191 Turtle Crawl is a beautiful home. It has all needed amenities and is excellently maintained. The location is perfect. Port St. Joe, St. Joe Peninsula State Park, Historic Apalachicola, and St. George Island are within close proximity. Kayaking, shelling, hiking, bike rentals, and interesting shopping is nearby.
Thank you for all your help, Wendy.
Richard and Teri Miramonti
We had a great time and definitely want to return to Cape San Blas again!! We especially appreciate you making your condo so pet friendly - having the pet sheets and towels were so helpful! We found everything to be absolutely perfect for our week of relaxation!
We will be giving your info to any friends who ask and will be in contact when we can “escape to the Cape”! Thank you for being so thorough with all the travel plans!!
We are missing that sunshine!
Becky B.
Thank you for the lovely, relaxing mini vacation on the “Forgotten Coast”.
We have lived in Florida 25 years & have never spent time there. It was beautiful & quiet.
You truly made all the arrangements easy. The condo was clean & well stocked with the essentials. We hope to visit again soon.
Rod M.
We had a great time, dogs included. I expect that we will visit again in the future. Thank you for everything.
Vanessa Deacon
I could not have asked for a better rental or experience. It was absolutely beautiful and very relaxing. It was so nice to have all the beach essentials available for us (beach chairs, cooler, toys, etc.). We have already talked about trying to make it back again before the end of the year. This will definitely be our new yearly vacation destination. I work remote and am an introvert by nature. I was pleasantly surprised by the comradery and friendliness of all of the other guests at the Barrier Dunes. Added a whole new dimension by meeting others that also brought along their fur babies.
I appreciate the heads up about booking direct in the future. (Also EXTREMELY helpful about the time zone fluctuations…BUT what was funny is we just quit paying attention to the time. Having spotty cell coverage was also a blessing because my boss could not reach by cell on my vacation).
Angela Dye and Family
We had such a special stay!
Thank you for all the small touches to make things more convenient like kitchen and beach items and for your thoroughness and help.
We hope to be back very soon. The directions, beach, and accommodations were perfect.
Debra M.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Turtle Crawl. It’s such a “beachy” house and very relaxing. We actually came there to ride out Hurricane Matthew. What a blessing to have found your lovely house. My sister was visiting from PA and really enjoyed her stay. We loved being able to walk to the beach. We ate at Sunset Coastal Grill the last night we were there. The food was good and the view spectacular.
A little bit of history: My husband’s great uncle, Ernest Marler, was the Asst. lighthouse keeper at Cape San Blas lighthouse and died in 1938 (he was actually murdered according to historical records, but it is still unknown who did it and why). There is a book published called “Secrets of Cape San Blas!” It’s based on Ernest Marler but fictional. Very interesting read. It’s a coincidence that the code was the same as the date he died. Also, there was a picture of the lighthouse on the wall. And the master bedroom had a plaque with “Captain’s Quarters” on it. My husband is a Captain, his father was a Captain and his grandfather was a Captain. All from Destin, Fl. My husband’s name is David Ernest Marler, named after his great uncle. You can imagine our surprise when we arrived to find all of this. It was like it was meant to be!
We would love to come back again when were not escaping storms and can take advantage of all that you have to offer.
Thank you for the short mini vacation in your beautiful house!
Susan
Amy, Lana, and I had a GREAT time at the beach in Turtle Crawl! The weather was beautiful and the condo was clean and well stocked and furnished. Thank you for your help in making last minute plans. You are always easy to work with and I appreciate your helpfulness.
Riley Wultz
My wife, our dog, and I want to tell you how enjoyable our stay in your Unit 191 in December was. When we arrived, we found the unit, and everything in it, to be very clean. The unit was very well supplied with virtually anything a vacationer could need or want.
The beach was a short walk away and was also clean and wide. We walked twice each day for at least an hour. Our dog loved it, but refused to go into the ocean or even get his feet wet.
The time we spent in Unit 191 was the perfect relaxation for us and we hope to return next December.
