Dog-Friendly Gulf-View End Unit · Sunset Decks
At Cape Happy Hour, happy hour isn't a time of day — it's a state of mind. It's morning coffee on the master suite deck watching the Gulf wake up. It's afternoons at the beachfront pool just steps from your front door. It's the turtle pond shimmering below the main deck as you grill dinner, and the Cape San Blas sunset turning the sky brilliant behind your cocktail glass. This cheerful, beautifully appointed two-bedroom end unit in the gated Barrier Dunes community was made for people who know how to enjoy themselves — and it provides everything you need to do exactly that.
🌊 Gulf views from both the master suite deck and main deck
🐢 Main deck overlooks the serene turtle pond — a front-row seat to Cape life
🏊 Beachfront community pool steps from the front door
🐾 Dog friendly — bring up to 2 dogs (there's even a covered sitting area to watch the turtles from the carport!)
🛏️ Sleeps 6 — king master suite, queen guest room, futon in master, queen sleeper sofa
👑 Oversized king master suite with soaking tub, separate shower & double-sink vanity
🏖️ 115 steps to the beach walkover

🎾 Tennis and pickleball courts within the community
🚗 2-car covered carport with concierge garbage pickup
💧 Under-sink water filtration system — purified drinking water throughout your stay
🏄 Beach cart, beach chairs, cooler, buckets & shovels included
💳 $35/day credit toward beach gear rentals (stays of 3–21 nights in March-October)
🌐 High-speed WiFi, Smart TV in every room & convenient USB charging ports throughout
Cape Happy Hour is tailor-made for couples, small families, or a group of friends who want the full Cape San Blas experience without the chaos of a large house. Mornings start gently — fresh purified water from the kitchen filter, coffee on the main deck while the turtle pond does its peaceful thing below. The beach is a leisurely 115-step stroll, or skip it entirely and spend the morning at the beachfront pool across the way. Afternoons tend to blur beautifully: a kayak paddle in St. Joseph State Park (practically next door), a lazy hour in the bay window seat with a book, or a nap in the oversized king suite before evening. And then the real Cape Happy Hour begins — drinks on the master deck, the Gulf turning amber and rose, the turtle pond catching the last light below. This is what you came for.
The main level is open and inviting with a fully stocked eat-in kitchen, a comfortable living room with sleeper sofa and bay window seat, and direct access to the large deck with gas grill and seating overlooking the turtle pond. The queen guest room is on this level with its own private balcony and updated walk-in shower bath.
Bedrooms
King Master Suite (second floor) — oversized with Gulf-view private deck perfectly positioned for sunsets, soaking garden tub, separate tiled shower, double-sink vanity, well-organized closet, futon for a third sleeping option, Smart TV with USB charging ports, and full-size stacked washer and dryer in the suite
Queen Guest Room (main floor) — private balcony, updated bath with walk-in shower, Smart TV
Living Room — queen sleeper sofa for additional guests
Kitchen & Living
Fully stocked eat-in kitchen with under-sink water filtration, Keurig, drip coffee maker, spice rack, and all the cookware and dishware for the week. Family games, books, ceiling fans, central A/C, and convenient USB charging ports throughout the home. The bay window seat is one of those small details that makes Cape Happy Hour feel more like a home than a rental.
Outdoor & Ground Level
Large main deck with gas grill and seating overlooking the turtle pond, spacious master suite Gulf-view deck with dedicated cocktail and sunset seating, enclosed hot and cold outdoor shower, extra covered sitting area in the carport with a pond view, concierge garbage pickup, 2-car covered carport, and a fully stocked beach closet ready to go.

The townhouse was perfect! Super clean and decorated nice! Love all the hooks! The beach close has everything you need and not need to take anything from home! The pool was great and the location to everything was wonderful! We will be coming back!
Property was just as advertised. Great friendly little neighborhood. Beach and pools were a short walk. Host was accessible when needed. No complaints. House does have lots of stairs and could be an accessibility issue for some but worked great for us.
