About this property

Gulf-View Townhome · 30 Steps to Beach · Sleeps 8

  • A pet free (no pets allowed) townhouse, Perla del Mar means Pearl of the Sea — and from the top-floor master deck, with the Gulf spreading out in every direction and the Cape San Blas shoreline curving below you, the name earns itself completely. This three-story end-unit townhome in the gated Barrier Dunes community puts eight guests just 30 steps from the beach walkover, with Gulf views from every level and a top-floor primary suite that feels more like a boutique hotel than a beach rental.



    🌊 30 steps to the beach walkover — first-tier Gulf views throughout

    🏖️ Three levels of private Gulf-view decks, including a sweeping top-floor deck

    👑 Top-floor king master suite with garden tub, separate shower & double-sink vanity

    🛏️ Sleeps 8 — two king suites, bunk room with twin-over-full and trundle

    🚿 Every bedroom has its own private ensuite bath — no sharing required

    🏊 Access to gulf-front and interior community pools in Barrier Dunes

    🚗 2-car covered carport + stocked beach closet at ground level

    🏄 Beach cart, beach chairs, cooler, buckets & shovels all included

    💳 $35/day credit toward beach gear rentals (stays of 3–21 nights in March-October)

    🌐 High-speed WiFi + Smart TV in every bedroom

    🍳 Fully equipped kitchen with Keurig, drip coffee maker & spice rack

    🔒 Gated Barrier Dunes community — quiet, private, and beautifully maintained

    ⛔️🐾 No Pets Please - Perla Del Mar is people only.



    Picture ending a long beach day with the kids settled into the bunk room and the adults ascending to the top floor of Perla del Mar — a king master suite with its own private deck, a soaking garden tub, and nothing but Gulf horizon as far as you can see. That's the experience this home is built around. Mornings start on the main-level deck with coffee and the gas grill, the beach just 30 steps away the moment you're ready. Afternoons are for the surf, the community pools, or the shaded comfort of the living room's generous sectional sofa. And when the sun starts its descent over the water, every deck in the house becomes the best seat on Cape San Blas.



    The main level flows seamlessly from the fully equipped kitchen through the dining area — seating for eight between the table and breakfast bar — into the living room and out onto the Gulf-view deck. It's an easy, open layout that keeps the group connected without anyone feeling crowded.



    Bedrooms



    King Master Suite (top floor) — sweeping Gulf-view private deck, ensuite with garden tub, separate shower & double-sink vanity, Smart TV



    King Guest Suite (second floor) — Gulf-view deck, ensuite with tub/shower combo, Smart TV



    Bunk Suite (second floor) — twin over full with trundle, desk, private balcony, ensuite with tub/shower combo, Smart TV — ideal for kids or extra guests



    Full-size washer and dryer conveniently located between the bedroom suites



    Kitchen & Living

    Stainless steel appliances, Keurig, drip coffee maker, spice rack, and all the cookware and dishware you need for the week. Family games, books, ceiling fans, and central A/C throughout. The sectional sofa in the living room is the natural gathering spot when the group comes in off the beach.



    Outdoor & Ground Level

    Gulf-view deck with gas grill and seating on the main level, large private deck on the top floor, additional balconies off each bedroom suite, outdoor shower and water hose at ground level, 2-car covered carport, and a stocked beach closet with everything you need to hit the sand running.



    Guest Access

    Full private use of all three floors. Barrier Dunes community amenities — gulf-front pool, interior pool, and private beach boardwalk access — included for all guests. No pets, please.

We enjoyed our stay at Barrier Dunes. The townhome Perla del Mar was very clean and comfortable. It was a short and easy walk to the beach and both pools. We look forward to coming back and staying again!

We went with my husband and two kids. The condo was spacious, but lots of stairs in the condo! It was fine for us to manage, but could see that being an issue for some travelers. There were two pools at the complex, and tennis/pickleball courts. The view of the ocean was just enough, and you couldn’t hear any neighbors in the units on either side of us.
