Surrounded by the pristine waters of the upper Gulf of Mexico, this “All INCLUSIVE PARADISE” awaits you. The Cape San Blas peninsula is a nature lovers dream. Flanked on one side by the beautiful emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico and on the other by the alluring wildlife filled waters of St Joseph Bay. We have designed this vacation getaway to include practically everything a family could ever want in a vacation full of fun, sun and adventure. Nestled in the heart of Barrier Dunes, a beautifully manicured waterfront gated community, "Emerald Breeze", your vacation home sits just 20 steps from one of the 2 pools, 40 steps from the tennis courts and a short (500ft) walk on the boardwalk that runs directly to the beach. "Emerald Breeze" is a meticulously maintained end unit, sitting virtually on the edge of one of the 3 stocked ponds.
In the kitchen is every appliance you could ever want, including a KitchenAid mixer, Toaster Oven, Ninja Blender and Smoothie maker, automatic coffee pot, and of course, all the regular things you have at home. Loads of dishes, silverware, glasses, utensils and spices for any feast. We promise, we are cooks, so everything you need to prepare, serve and store your meals is there. The whole house is equipped with flat screen TV’s in every room, even a 50” in the master bedroom.
The master bedroom has a terrific king size bed and a Futon that folds out into a full size bed. Your own private computer desk with a brand new Gateway computer with an "Emerald Breeze" guest log in, for clearing up any forgotten loose ends at home. Master bath boasts a large separate shower and garden tub, twin bowls and plenty of towels. Master bedroom also has its own private balcony overlooking the lovely pond just a mere 5 feet away. Oh, and did I mention a 50” flat screen.
The 2nd bedroom has a brand new full over full bunk bed, completely redecorated in beautiful colors. It also has its own small, but private deck, overlooking the pool and boardwalk to the beach. The 2nd bath has a shower/tub combination. A nice size living room with a foldout queen sofa bed (for extra guests) services the main floor.
The living room is equipped with a 39” flat screen, Brand new Blue Ray/DVD player, Nintendo Wii with 2 controllers, WiFi internet, Digital phone service with free nationwide long distance, and Digital cable HDTV service.
The Rear deck overlooks the pond that is just 5 feet away, with table and chairs, a New Gas Grill and some room and privacy to relax.
Upstairs is the Laundry Center with baskets and detergent. A linen closet with all the sheets, bed linens and towels for the whole gang to use is tucked away upstairs also. Oh, and before I forget, an AWESOME outside private shower!!!

FREE use of a 15ft Coleman canoe with paddles and life preservers.
Reimbursement of daily St Joseph State Part entry fees. Joseph State Park is just 500 ft from Barrier Dunes entrance and has 9.5 miles of virgin white beaches and 2700 acres of Florida wilderness to explore.
FREE use of several Bicycles.
We also include the 6 Beach/Camping Chairs, plenty of Beach Towels, Boogie Boards, a Beach Umbrella with screw in base, Sand toys and pool toys so you don’t have to bring so much.
The Barrier Dunes community has 2 beautiful Pools. One overlooking the beach, nestled in with the clubhouse and one in the middle of the community. It has 3 beautiful stocked ponds that are loaded with Bass and the biggest blue gills you have ever seen in your life. Also there is a very nice playground for the little ones. The whole grounds resemble a park like setting.
Lets talk about bringing your boat!!!!!!!!!
If you love to boat, fish, and sight see, this vacation paradise has it ALL.
Dropping your boat in the blue waters of the bay instantly opens up endless opportunities. You can start fishing 200 feet from the boat launch and enjoy grass flats loaded with Sea Trout, Flounder, Redfish, Spanish Mackerel and other tasty Florida species. Or go out another 1/2 mile in the middle of the bay and anchor your boat on one of the 100's of tidal sand flats and observe Sand Dollars, sea urchins, crabs, starfish, sea horses, sting rays, bay scallops, hermit crabs, horse conchs and loads of other species in their natural environment. The bay is a ecological wonderland packed full of wildlife and diversity.
You can literally beach your boat and step foot on the sand where no one has stepped in days or weeks. Its like you own the beach. There is where the shell collecting begins and maybe never ends. Also a good spot to throw a line in the water for the beach cruising Bull Red's, Pompano, Mackerel and Kings. The bay is also loaded with bottlenose dolphin with pods all over the place. They are not too shy and usually get close enough for great pictures and lots of squeals from the kids on board. Hold your ears if there are babies in the pod. They are so cute you can't stand it. If you ever can get your family back to the harbor, they have two excellent fish cleaning stations right at the dock.
The Barrier Dunes boat parking is just 300 feet away from your front door. It is well lighted and very safe and secure. There is also a fresh water wash out station for your boat right there.

This was our second year staying here and just as the first it was great! The house was very clean, check in process seamless, and of course Ken was as accommodating and hospitable as possible!

Cape San Blas

We had a wonderful time! Anytime we needed something Ken responded right away and took care of it. The condo was very spacious and beds were super comfortable. Kitchen well maintained and had everything and more of what we needed. Turtles galore in the pond out back which was so fun to feed and watch. Ocean was a short walk. Beautiful white sand and so many nice people. Pool was right in front of condo. My intention was to use Kayaks and paddle boards but they were just to heavy and didn’t know how to travel safely with them. It was also a little too windy anyways . That was my only disappointment. Otherwise, we had a great time!

GREAT PROPERTY!

From check-in to check-out, this was by far the best vacation we’ve taken as a family. Ken was an excellent host and very accommodating and the house itself was great as well! The Cape is the best kept secret and Florida and the state park was awesome! The equipment included was a hit for everyone as well. I will be booking this property again.

Our second time

We had such an amazing time at Emerald Breeze last summer (2021) we booked it again this summer (2022) - and- brought my parents and sister to stay at Emerald Breeze 3.3! It was the perfect vacation. I loved being so close to everyone. We would just walk out to the back deck to meet up with them. The check in process was easy. The units were clean. They both had everything we needed and more! One of our favorite things about the Emerald breeze is the state park passes. We loved loading up the jeep with the standup paddle boards and taking it to the state park. In the bay we found starfish, sea urchins, a seahorse and tons of hermit crabs and fish! We spent almost every day there! The pool is right across from tho condo so my kids loved running over there for a quick swim! We used their bikes to bike to Cone Heads for icecream. We stopped at St Joseph’s Shrimp Co and brought back a seafood dinner (steamed shrimp and crab). They had all the beach toys for the kids. Our favorite family vacation spot! Cannot wait to go back!

Great family vacation spot!

We had a great time! It was more than we expected. Beach is a short walk and not busy (even on spring break). Pool is right out front door. Pond in the back had tons of wildlife (no gators). State park is a short walk or bike ride away. Two good restaurants within short bike ride. Biking trail along 30 e all the way down the cape. Too much more to mention! Thanks!

We were pleasantly surprised by the delicious water/ice from the fridge! (Ya know beach water isn’t usually tasty!) Another huge plus was not having to pack “beach gear” as he had everything we needed (and then some!). Great experience with Ken and his property!

Relaxing Cape vacation

We enjoyed our stay at Emerald Breeze very much. The location of complex was very convenient to the state park and quiet and peaceful. The short walk on the sidewalk to the beach was a plus. Although the weather was not ideal we were very comfortable relaxing inside during a couple days of rain. This unit was complete with everything anyone could possibly want or need for a great time. We love the Cape and will definitely keep this condo on our list to revisit. Ken is by far the friendliest and easiest to communicate with host we have interacted with to date. Every question was answered promptly. Instructions on check in and check out were clear and concise. There was not one thing more that we could have needed that was not provided. Great time and great host. Too bad we cannot control the weather.

Excellent spot in Cape San Blas

Wow! Where to begin?! Ken is an awesome host. He was available for any questions or issues that we had. This place is such a great deal with all the extra amenities. We didn’t have to bring extra beach equipment/supplies because Ken provided it all! The home was very nicely decorated and clean. It was the perfect place for our family of 5 plus our babysitter. My kids loved the Jeep. Jurassic Park is their favorite movie so they were in heaven. The turtles in the pond outback provided extra entertainment for the kids. The pool was right outside the door so it was easy to take a quick swim when the kids wanted to. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to come back soon. Thanks Ken!!

Best summer on the cape!

My family and I had the best time on the cape this summer. We have stayed at other barrier dune units but this was by far our favorite. Right outside the back deck the boys could fish. They caught a bunch of blue gill and sunfish. Right outside the front is the pool so my kids could go swim while got lunch and dinner ready. The walk to the beach was quick too, just down short walkway to the boardwalk. The state park was by far our favorite thing to do! We felt liked we had the beach and bay to ourselves. It’s was beautiful. Thank you for the pass!! We rode bikes to cone heads and even the 4 miles down to Joe’s Shrimp Co and the gas station! The bikes were perfect! There was also a bunch of kayaks and SUP but we never took them out. Tons of fishing gears, sand toys, beach chairs, umbrella, and boogie boards! Inside was perfect and comfortable. The garden tub upstairs was perfect for the boys to still “swim”. The kitchen had a nice granite countertop. We loved eating breakfast out on the back deck watching the turtles! When we come back we will be booking the Emerald Breeze!! Thank you for everything.

All the Toys!

We had so much fun at Emerald Breeze! Ken has all the toys you need for a wonderful time and he is a born host. He was attentive and got us in the unit and settled quickly. We kayaked (life jackets included) in St. Joe state park. The jeep got us (4 adults) out there with two, double occupancy kayaks. The water is shallow (about 3 feet) and would be save for children and non-swimmers. I recommend the Hammock Trail. The beach is beautiful and Ken has all the towels, chairs, toys, boogie boards, shovels, fishing poles, ... you need plus a cart to haul them out there! The pool is literally at your door and the beach is a reasonable walk. We had more than what was needed. The guys played golf twice at the Port St. Joe course and my husband enjoyed cruising in Ken’s jeep. If you like to eat out, you can hit Port St. Joe, Apalachacola (our favorite), and Mexico Beach or drive on into Panama City. There are a couple of places at Cape San Blas too. We shopped local shops and enjoyed a few local restaurants. If you have a special occasion, I suggest The Owl Cafe. Thank you Ken for sharing your home with us!

After 12 years coming to this magical place, we finally took the plunge and decided we wanted to be a permanent part of it. We would love for "Emerald Breeze" to become your new FAVORITE vacation place. We have done, and will continue to do everything in our power to make that happen for you.

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to the Cape and Barrier Dunes for 13 years and instantly fell in love with the place. If you go on vacation to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, to relax and spend real quality time with your family, this is the place. If you want to see what real Florida is like, without all the commercialization, look no further. If you want putt-putt, go cart tracks or pinball palaces, this is not the right spot for you. This place, because of its remote location, allows you to connect yourself with nature like virtually no other place in Florida..........
