We are a family of four with two kids (3 and 8 who can still sleep in the same bed), this condo worked perfectly for us.
It is such a short walk to the beach, I counted 130 adult steps to the sand.
The kitchen was adequately equipped, although there is inevitably something that is needed which is not available (this trip it was a vegetable peeler), we were able to prepare and consume all of our meals. (We brought dish soap, and dishwasher pods and extra TP with us since while reading many reviews for Barrier Dunes we noted that those items were often in short supply.
What we liked about this particular unit was that it overlooks the center pond, and the kids enjoyed watching the turtles swim about, and it is close to the fountain, which provides for a nice bit of background noise while sitting on the deck for dinner. There is a tiny peek-a-boo view of the water from the decks (as seen in the pictures) but if you really want to view the ocean, walk those 130 steps.
For those unfamiliar with Cape San Blas, or Barrier Dunes in particular this is a great location and community. There are 2 pools, one of them is beachside, albethey somewhat small, they do provide an alternative to the ocean. This is very important, since there were “double red flags” for three days of this visit, which meant that, although it was a perfect beach day in that it was sunny and 90 degrees out, the water had currents which were too strong from the storms off shore, and the undercurrents and rip tides could sweep away an adult man quickly and ferociously. Upon our arrival to the beach there were volunteer firemen patrolling the beach with blow horns engaging with people and warning them that “knee deeps is too deep”, and that someone had died from drowning the week prior to our stay, and someone in Mexico Beach not far up the coast had died that week as well. With the warnings ringing in our ears, the pool was a great “Plan B”. Of course with dogs and campfires being permissible on the beach an amazing vibe is created!
