Sunny Gulf Townhome · Dog-Friendly· Pool & Beach· Sleeps 8

There's something about waking up to an unobstructed Gulf view — coffee in hand, warm breeze off the water, nothing between you and that emerald horizon — that makes every other vacation feel like practice. Walking on Sunshine is a rare direct beachfront end unit in the gated Barrier Dunes community, and it earns its name the moment you step onto the sweeping main-level deck and see the water stretch out in front of you.

Spend your mornings padding out to the large beachfront deck to grill breakfast while the kids chase waves below. Afternoons are for the gulf-front community pool, a lazy walk along one of Florida's most unspoiled stretches of sand, or an impromptu pickleball match. By evening, fire up the gas grill on the deck, pour something cold, and watch the Cape San Blas sunset paint the sky — the kind of view that makes you start planning your return trip before dinner is even finished.

The main level is built for gathering, with an open living area, a cozy bay window seat in the dining room, a breakfast bar, and a sleeper sofa for flexible sleeping arrangements. The kitchen is fully equipped and ready for everything from quick beach-day lunches to full family dinners. A convenient half bath rounds out the main floor.
