Keywords: Stepped On a Pop-Tart is a lovely, fully equipped, Gulf view town-home in Barrier Dunes. It is an end unit in a very quiet part of Barrier Dunes, and yet one of the closest units to the beach. It's just minutes to the beach and oceanfront pool.
The beach is pristine, fine white sand. You can walk for miles. The water is shallow near the shore, making it an excellent place for small children to play in the surf.
Barrier Dunes itself is ideally situated on the Cape, right next to the entrance to St. Joe's Peninsula State Park with its many hiking, biking, wildlife viewing and beach exploring opportunities. An excellent location also to take a canoe or kayak and explore the wildlife rich back bay. There is also a boat launch, so whether you bring your own boat, and yes, there is parking available for a boat at Stepped on a Pop-Tart, or whether you rent a boat, you can do so easily and conveniently.

Summer vacation

Perfect location to a beautiful beach. Pool was nice and close as well. Black flies came in on Thursday so that was a bummer….their bite hurts!!! King size bed was very comfy. Some suggestions for condo… a throw blanket would be nice, some new Tupperware with tops that fits, knife sharpener because knives are very dull. Otherwise, pretty much had everything we needed. Oh! We could not figure out how to work the cd player. But we found a movie on Prime. Extra points for the bidet!!!

Cleanliness

We love Cape San Blas. It was our second year vacationing but 1st time staying here. It was not clean, dog hair all over, floors were sticky and the living room area smelled of strong urine. I vacuumed and swept when we left and it was cleaner than when we arrived. We were out the door at checkout time but in the driveway, my son and grandson waited in our vehicle while we walked to say goodbye to family around the corner and we were charged a late fee!!! Absolutely ridiculous. Might have to use another source other than VRBO. Also difficult to reach owner.

Great Place!

Hate to admit it because it may bring more people and make it harder to rent, but we loved the place! Great area - much quieter than crazy PCB or other touristy areas and a very dog-friendly community! Beach is very close - awesome views, not busy even during the day and awesome for morning and evening walks. Thank you!!!

We would stay here again

The townhouse was as advertised. Clean, spacious and a short walk to the beach, with a nice balcony upstairs where we drank our coffee in the morning. The screened in porch was nice too. Host recommendations on restaurants were spot on. We enjoyed our week in Cape San Blas very much. The water was clear, the beach was fine and uncrowded. We will definitely return!

A Great Stay

This is our second end-of-year celebration at Barrier Dunes and the first at Pop Tart. The beach views are amazing and it is a quick walk to the beach and pool. We had to do some online work while were there and the desk in the master bedroom is marvelous. The internet speed is a little slow, but we made it work.

April 2021

We enjoyed staying at this property. The proximity to the beach cannot be beat! I think the biggest con was that the WiFi was somewhat spotty and we could have used just a few of more towels. A few of the dishes in the cabinet weren’t completely clean, but we could definitely tell that the effort was taken to make the place as comfortable as possible. I would stay here again!

Very relaxing family vacation

We did enjoy our vacation to the fullest. The property is beautiful and the location breathtaking. It’s very quiet and still ideal for families and dog owners. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. We did like it that the host provided some dish soap, dishwasher tabs, detergent tabs, toilet paper and paper towels. The kitchen was also fully stocked with everything you’ll need to prepare a meal. And on top of that there were also plenty of outdoor toys. The owners really thought of everything. The walk to the beach is literally less than 2 minutes and we didn’t need to worry all the time about our 4 year old since the water is shallow and our older kids still had fun riding waves with their boards. I only had one question, but Kevin replied within 5 minutes. We loved it so much, that we can’t wait to come back!

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to the Cape San Blas and The Forgotten Coast for almost 20 years. We like the sandy white beach and clear water.You can bring your dog on the beach and have a bonfire at night on the beach. You also can drive golf carts on the beach and Barrier Dunes has a fishing pond to with fish and turtles

What makes this property unique

The ONLY town home in Barrier Dunes with fresh drinking water using a salt-free solution so you don't need to bring bottled water or ice. We have one of only screened porches to keep bugs out and cool deck.
