Dog-Friendly Gulf Townhome · Steps to White Sand Beach
Some beach homes make you want to get out and explore. Cape Me Away makes you want to stay in — and then go to the beach — and then come back and sink into the soaking tub with the Gulf view still playing in your mind. This bright, cheerful end-unit townhome in the gated Barrier Dunes community is named perfectly: from the oversized ground-level swing catching the afternoon breeze to the spa-like king master suite with garden tub, separate shower, and its own Gulf-view sunset deck, Cape Me Away is designed to carry you as far from everyday life as a 60-step walk from the sand can possibly manage.
🌊 60 steps to the beach — quick, easy, and worth every step 🌅 Stunning Gulf sunset views from the king master suite private deck 🐾 Dog friendly — bring up to 2 dogs 🛏️ Sleeps 6 — spa-like king master suite, queen bedroom, queen sleeper sofa 🛁 King master suite with garden tub, separate shower, double-sink vanity & walk-in closet 💆 "Spa-like" master suite — the most luxurious bedroom in this size category 🔥 Electric fireplace in the living room — cozy ambience year-round 🪑 Comfy bay window reading nook — the perfect rainy afternoon spot 🪂 Oversized covered swing at ground level — built for the afternoon Gulf breeze 💻 Dedicated desk with USB & electrical outlets in master suite — remote work with a view 🏊 Access to gulf-front and interior community pools in Barrier Dunes 🎾 Tennis and pickleball courts nearby 🚗 2-car covered carport + stocked beach closet 🏄 Beach cart, beach chairs, cooler, buckets & shovels included 💳 $35/day credit toward beach gear rentals (stays of 3–21 nights) 🌐 High-speed WiFi + USB ports + Smart TV in every bedroom 🍳 Fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops, Keurig & drip coffee maker 👶 Pack 'n Play and high chair available 🔒 Gated Barrier Dunes community — quiet, private & beautifully maintained
Cape Me Away earns its name a little more with every hour you spend there. Mornings begin in the cheerful, sunlit main level — granite countertops, the coffee bar ready, the electric fireplace glowing on cooler days, the bay window nook waiting for whoever wakes up first with a book. The beach is 60 steps away once the group is ready, gear loaded from the stocked closet. Afternoons might mean surf, the community pool, or a long sit in the oversized covered swing downstairs — the kind of porch swing that was built for exactly the sort of afternoon breeze that rolls through Barrier Dunes without being asked. By evening the pull of the master suite becomes irresistible: the Gulf turning gold from the private sunset deck, the garden tub drawn, the Gulf view still there through the window. Cute details throughout. Thoughtful conveniences at every turn. The name says it all.
The main level is bright, open, and beautifully proportioned — fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances flowing into a dining area that seats six between the table and generous breakfast bar, into a living room with electric fireplace, Smart TV, queen sleeper sofa, and a bay window reading nook that catches the best of the morning light. The queen bedroom with its own private balcony and full bath is also on this level, opening easily to the large main deck with gas grill and both Polywood dining and Adirondack chair seating.
Bedrooms
King Master Suite (second floor) — private Gulf-view sunset deck, garden tub, separate tiled shower, double-sink vanity with magnifying mirror, walk-in closet, dedicated desk with USB and electrical outlets, full-size washer and dryer in suite, Smart TV — an entire private retreat at the top of the home
Queen Bedroom (main floor) — private balcony, full bath on main level, Smart TV
Living Room — queen sleeper sofa for additional guests
Kitchen & Living Fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, Keurig, drip coffee maker, spice rack, and generous breakfast bar seating. Electric fireplace, bay window reading nook, family games, books, ceiling fans, and central A/C throughout. Thoughtful conveniences throughout — hooks at the top of the stairs, extra storage, USB ports — the kind of details that make a stay feel truly considered.
Outdoor & Ground Level Large main deck with gas grill, Polywood dining set, and Adirondack chairs, private Gulf-view sunset deck off the master suite, oversized covered swing at ground level perfect for the afternoon breeze, hot and cold outdoor shower, water hose out front for sandy paws and toes, 2-car covered carport, and a fully stocked beach closet with cart, chairs, and cooler ready to go.
Guest Access Full private use of both floors. Barrier Dunes community amenities — gulf-front pool, interior pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and private beach boardwalk access — all included for guests.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and an ironing board.

Great getaway
We loved every second of staying here as a family with our pup. Everything was clean and check in/out was super easy. Loved being so close to the beach and the rental of a cart and umbrella is a must!! We enjoyed our stay so much we reached out about extending our stay and the owners we were responsive on helping us get the extra night added! We will most definitely be back in the future.

Couldn't have Been More PERFECT! We will be back!
We enjoyed everything about our getaway! The directions we received were spot on and made it easy to get there and get in and know what to bring and ALL the things we didn't need to bring. We arrived to a clean, beautiful home and a perfect sunset!
The home had everything you could expect and then it exceed our expectations with all the little things! The beach boardwalk was just off our back deck and the beach cart made it easy to take the few steps to the beaches.
We enjoyed long walks on a quite beach, having our dog with us was wonderful, had some amazing seafood (especially liked that we could walk to Coneheads), we explored the State Park and just generally RELAXED. Couldn't have asked for a better vacation! Look forward to coming back again sooner more than later!

great time
We had a wonderful July week at your condo. It was perfect (not so much the weather!) in every way and just the right size for my wife, grandchild and dog. Beach was a real treat for us and the water cool and clean. Great spot.
