ending 2024 in CSB
I can not say enough good things about this property...from location, to cleanliness, to how well appointed the villa is. Our favorite things about Turtle Crawl were the balconies & views!, the short walk to the beach, the provided items in the beach closet (especially the chairs and beach cart), the outdoor shower with hot water (for super easy pet cleaning after a day romping in the sand), and the credit that came with the reservation to rent bikes. The villa is not lacking in anything at all. And Devi...SO QUICK to respond to questions and help us with finding items we couldn't find (due to our lack of looking, not that items weren't there). It was the perfect place to end 2024 (we had a NYE fire on the beach!!!) and hope to return!

Turtle Crawl was great!
Our family booked this condo last minute for a quick holiday weekend getaway -Veteran's Day and are so thankful it was available! The beach was a very short walk as the condo is the third or fourth building from the beach. Our grandsons enjoyed the beach and the pools that were also located within walking distance as well. The condo was cute, comfy and had all the household necessities in the kitchen. Our stay was very short so we didn’t cook any big meals. Location was perfect for us. The State Park entrance was right around the corner and we enjoyed exploring one morning there. We stopped in Port St Joe and shopped and ate lunch. Cute little town with boutiques and eateries etc. we would stay here again in the future.

Have to drink wine at the beach!
Very relaxing and laid back. It’s not over crowed and most people who stay here are super nice. Our townhouse didn’t have wine glasses or a cutting board which we discovered the first night we were there. I sent an email to the management company to let them know ( for future renters) and they delivered the glasses and cutting board the next morning! We couldn’t have had a better experience!

This is a gated community with beach access that is very close. Everything was very clean. Even though we had a red or purple flag most of our stay it was still worth every penny. We will definitely be back. ❤️

Christmas on the Cape
We started our stay on Christmas Day 2022 during the hard freeze in FL. Property owners were great and easy to reach. The condo has fantastic views of the gulf from the master balcony and just steps away from the beach. The pup loved her beach walks and lounging on the decks keeping an eye on all the activities. We obtained a 3 day fishing license and caught a couple fish on one of the calm water days from the beach. There is also a seafood market near by with fresh fish and yummy gumbo! We loved this location and will be back again!

Great rental, location, amenities & Beach
We will absolutely be back! This home provided everything we needed to just relax and enjoy the beach. Wendy emailed links to her amenities (which are wonderful) and everything was just as described. Being from a place that we don't have beach chairs it was nice not to have to invest in those or pack a bunch of extra things when we had a full car. Barrier Dunes was a great community and we enjoyed both the pools and tennis courts and feeding the turtles in the ponds. Met a lot of wonderful folks staying there too. It was just what the doctor ordered! Relaxing and fun! We enjoyed a horseback ride on the beach, beautiful sunsets, some surf fishing, great seafood and each other! Highly recommend Wendy and Cape Escape Vacation Rentals! We look forward to being back again soon!

Love the beach and loved Turtle Crawl. We will definitely be back!
We enjoyed a wonderful week with amazing weather at Cape San Blas! Turtle Crawl was better than expected...VERY clean and had everything we could expect and more. The beach closet had a great beach cart and beach chairs (saved buying them and packing them) and a cooler (and sand toys if you need them). We cooked many of our meals in and the kitchen was great...had everything we needed and a gas grill on the back deck. Really liked the St. Joe Seafood Company right down the street! It's right next door to the Trading Post which carries EVERYTHING else you need. If you're there, get the donuts made fresh each morning. Amazing! We really enjoy the tall lifeguard chairs on the master bedroom deck...enjoyed great sunsets when we didn't walk just a few steps down to the beach. The mattress was very comfortable and the sheets were great! The State Park is right there and we went on many long walks. There is the Hammock Trail and a trail that runs along the bay that our dog could enjoy with us. Our pup was worn out from that and walks on the beach ... love the fact that the beach and area is dog-friendly (yet VERY clean). We also got to enjoy a bonfire on the beach after sunset one evening! Awesome. Next trip we plan to enjoy a horseback ride on the beach, the see through canoes in the bay and also bring our bikes as there is a bike path that runs about 10 miles of the Cape (and it's flat, which is a bonus). Love the beach and loved Turtle Crawl. We will definitely be back!
