One of the best things about Cape Starfish is its amazing location! Situated in the heart of the popular, gated community of Barrier Dunes, this unit is convenient to everything! Best of all - you are only a minute and a half "straight shot" walk to the white sandy beach of Cape San Blas and the most spectacular sunsets of absolutely anywhere!
Cape Starfish is brand new to the rental market and has everything you might need for the perfect beach vacation. This exceptional townhouse is the perfect size for most families, including the 4-legged members! With 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a sleeper sofa, Cape Starfish can accommodate up to 7 guests and 2 dogs.
When you walk up to the first floor, you immediately realize this place is a cut above the rest. The whole place feels peaceful, private, beautiful, and "beachy"! The living area is inviting, with comfortable furniture and a large flat screen TV, which provides a great space to relax after a fun day in the sun. The big bay window makes the whole place feel bright and open and offers a "picture perfect" view of the lake across the street. Off the living area is a fantastic screened-in porch, which lets you sit out and unwind or grill out and dine al fresco (and stay bug-free ;)
Back inside, the dining table offers plenty of room for everyone to eat together or play games. And the gorgeous remodeled kitchen is fully-stocked with absolutely everything you might need. There is a large side-by-side refrigerator with water and ice in the door, an electric stove, a microwave, and a dishwasher. There are also two coffee makers (one regular and one k-cup style), a coffee bean grinder, a crock pot, a large 4-slice toaster, a blender, plenty of cookware, bakeware, dishes, and glassware.
Also on the first level is a bright and welcoming bedroom with a private balcony that enjoys the morning sun and nice views of the pond and the lake. This bedroom is setup with a comfortable double bed that has a single pull-out trundle bed, which provides room for up to 3 people to sleep. This room has a flat screen TV and ample space to unpack. There is a full bathroom with a tub/shower combination conveniently located between the kitchen and this bedroom.
Upstairs, you are greeted by a large and inviting master suite with a comfortable king-size bed and large flat screen TV. This private oasis offers a wonderful space to relax and unwind. All of the dresser drawers and the large closet give you plenty of room to settle in for your vacation. A sliding glass door opens onto a private deck with a distant view of the Gulf and a wonderful view of the lake. The en-suite bathroom has a large garden tub as well as a nice walk-in tiled shower. Also upstairs is a laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer.
Cape Starfish has enough parking for up to three vehicles. The beach bin has 4 beach chairs and a cart to easily get your gear to and from the beach. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off when you get back.
Barrier Dunes is a great place for people of all ages. Our community offers safe streets for walking your dog and for your children or grandchildren to play or ride bikes and ponds where kids love to feed the resident turtles. There are two swimming pools - one is gulf front and the other one is centrally located in the complex, next to the two tennis/pickleball courts. There are three community beach boardwalks, one of which has no stairs. This boardwalk is the closet one to Cape Starfish and is perfect to get the beach cart with your gear onto the beach.
We invite you to come to Cape San Blas and experience all of the amazing things this place has to offer. Cape Starfish feels like the perfect home away from home - at the beach!!
