You'll feel right at home with all of the amenities and then some. Walk down to hear the waves crash and wiggle your toes in the sand no matter what time of year you visit.

Neighborhood

Barrier Dunes is a gated, townhouse, beach community on Cape San Blas. It is off-the-beaten-path and sits back off the road. It is immaculately maintained and is quiet and friendly! You'll see some guests renting the units such as yourselves, but there are also those who live there year round. It is easy to get around inside the community. Walk to the ponds, walk to the beach, walk to the pools, walk to the tennis courts, and walk to the playground! Everything is a really short walk! Oh, you can even walk to the closest restaurant, Coneheads, just outside of the neighborhood. Maybe a 6-10 minute walk. And don't forget to walk down to the beach at sunset! It does not disappoint! Managed by the owner and not a property management company so you have someone who cares about the property and is readily available when needed!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Crabby Paddy! Both the condo and Eve exceeded our expectations. Eve was extremely attentive and helpful navigating our stay. The condo was beautiful and so cozy! It contained so much more than I expected; various seasonings, cooking oils, crab boil seasonings, condiments, beach towels, sunscreen, dermaplast spray, bandaids, umbrellas, chairs, a nice wagon, backpack cooler, fishing poles, tackle box, board games and so much more. Highly recommend staying at the Crabby Paddy!

Oh Crabby Patty…you are anything but crabby!! 🦀 💖 The Crabby Patty was amazing! Eve’s description & photos were spot on! So many positives from this trip so I’ll just rattle off a few in no particular order…. Easy short walk to the beach with Eve’s wagon and chairs (among other beach supplies), fully stocked house - anything you need, she likely has it (coffee, spices galore, detergent etc), deck to grill on, outdoor shower, covered parking, 2 great pools to cool down and a very comfy bed! We walked to the beach at sunrise and you MUST go for the sunsets. Best sunsets I’ve seen in my life. After we would walk the neighborhood after dark for exercise and it felt so safe and peaceful, during the day people always out riding bicycles or walking, great local restaurant options and a state park! As a host, Eve is top notch. Very detailed, professional, prompt, responsive and quickly answered any silly question I had. A perfect host - thank you! 🌊 ☀️ 🐚 🦀

Perfect for our needs. The condo was clean and fully stocked. Having the kitchen stocked, laundry etc was great. Short walk to two different pools and the beach. State park entrance right next door. Walked to Coneheads restaurant which was very good. Comfortable beds. We would def stay here again. Eve was very responsive and helpful.

Wonderful unit on beautiful Cape San Blas. The listing matched the unit exactly. No surprises at all. Eve was a wonderful host and checked in on us. We have young kids and love visiting the state park. The park gives you access to both the bay and the beach. The Crabby Paddy is less than a minute from the state park entrance. Can’t wait to come stay again.

We enjoyed our week at the Crabby Paddy. The condo itself was very nice--well-appointed and comfortable with lots of extras. Eve was an excellent host and very responsive to any questions we had. The condo complex was quiet and the beach and pools were uncrowded. We hope to stay there again in the future.

Availability

Find us

Parking underneath the unit which has a carport/driveway that can fit two cars tandem. Small boats and trailers could possibly fit. No parking is allowed on the street. There is first come, first served, overflow parking at the end of our street for boat trailers, extra cars, etc. The neighborhood is walkable to beach, pools, playground, tennis/pickleball courts. Will need a car to get to some restaurants or local grocery and businesses. You can bring your bikes! The kids can cruise around the gated community called, Barrier Dunes, safely. There is a bike/walking path just outside of the neighborhood on the main road and runs the length of Cape San Blas Rd. I believe it is about 8 miles.
