Are you searching for "the perfect spot" - somewhere nice, cozy, comfortable, clean, well-stocked with everything you need, great amenities, AND a view of the Gulf? If so, then Unplugged 2 is just the right place for you. This fantastic 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, pet-friendly townhome sleeps up to 5 people and is only 50 steps to the beach. Located in the wonderful gated-community of Barrier Dunes, this property enjoys access to 2 community swimming pools, 2 tennis/pickleball courts, a nice children's playground, and multiple access points to the beautiful sugar-white sand of Cape San Blas.
Unplugged 2 sits directly across the street from the Gulf-front pool - in fact, when your kids go for a swim, you can see them from the deck off the master bedroom. The decks are also the perfect spot to sit out, enjoy a drink, and watch the sunset at the end of a great day. There's no better place to unplug, unwind and relax than this!
Unplugged 2 is an end unit, so when you come up to the first floor, there is plenty of light from the wonderful bay window and the sliding glass door that opens onto a spacious deck. The deck has outdoor seating that looks across to the Gulf-front pool, as well as out over the peaceful pond and fountain. There is also a gas grill for cooking out.
Inside you are welcomed into a warm and inviting living and dining area plus the kitchen. The entire space is comfortable and charming. The living area has a comfortable sofa, along with several comfy chairs, and a large wall-mounted smart TV, making this just the right space to unwind and watch a movie or simply "rest your eyes". The dining area allows everyone to share meals together and is also the perfect spot to challenge the group to a game of cards. The kitchen is well-stocked with most everything you need to either cook full meals for the family or just let everyone fend for themselves.
Beyond the kitchen is the guest room with a very fun and unique bunk bed. There is a more traditional queen bed on the bottom with a delightful single bed on top - but it's turned sideways, which makes the queen bed much more accessible. So, the guest room can easily accommodate up to 3 kids or it can be enjoyed by an adult couple. Between the kitchen and guest room is a full bathroom with a toilet, a single vanity, and a walk-in shower, and there is also a stackable washer and dryer for your convenience.
The second floor of Unplugged 2 is a dedicated master retreat. There is a comfortable king bed, beachy decor, a large flat screen TV, and a private balcony with a nice view of the pool and the Gulf. This suite provides the perfect spot to get away for some quiet time. The master bathroom has double vanities, a soaking garden tub, a separate walk-in shower, and a toilet. (This master bedroom does have a door.)
Additionally, we provide beach chairs and a pull-cart to help you get your gear to the beach. There is an outdoor shower for rinsing off the sand from two-legged and four-legged family members after a fun day in the sun.
The owner of this wonderful townhome has been a part of this community from its inception and truly understands what makes this place so incredibly special. You can tell by the thoughtful attention to detail from the decor to all the comforts of home - they sincerely want you to enjoy your time here. So, we invite you to come rest, relax, unwind, renew, and get Unplugged 2!

More updated than other properties in same complex, extremely clean and very convenient to both pool and beach. Would definitely stay at this property again!
The unit was perfect for our family. Great location to the beach. The provided beach wagon and chairs worked perfectly. One of our favorite units we have stayed in while at The Cape!
Unplugged 2 was very clean and nice decor. Access to beach is right out front door. Great location! We’ve been staying at Barrier Dunes for the last 10 years and plan on staying at Unplugged 2 in the future.
I've been vacationing in Barrier Dunes @ Cape San Blas for years, always a great experience as this is such a fantastic complex and location! This unit is nice, nothing fancy and could use some updating but it worked just fine for my friend and I. No frills, good furniture, clean, and very close to the walkway to the beach and steps to the clubhouse/pool. The parking is quite tight so be mindful of 2 cars only - and if you have a large or lifted truck, this won't work for you.
The property is literally steps to the beach. It was so easy to go back and forth. The kitchen was well stocked with all the things we needed for cooking. The condo was very clean. We had a wonderful relaxing week! I was sad to leave but would consider this property again.
This unit is located super close to the ramp and stairs for beach access, as well as being right across from the pool. We had our 10 year old and 7 month old with us and it worked out so well for our family. My baby was able to sleep upstairs and be undisturbed. And we could still have one of us easily walk down to the beach or pool with our 10 year old. There is also a second pool in the complex that is super close to walk to! Overall, this unit is perfect for a family. We also really enjoyed the grill and deck for outdoor dining!
This is a great property!! We own property in CSB. It was having work done so we rented this place! I’m so glad we did! Very relaxing, very close to the beach and pool. We were bummed about not getting to stay at our own place but once we got here, we loved everything about it!! Very pet friendly, the grounds around the property is spotless. Very impressed!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Unplugged is a great descriptor of the vibe of Cape San Blas versus busier, more developed beaches. Our stay here was great, the amenities were fine, and we did plenty of cooking and grilling and didn't really lack anything. We were conveniently very close to both the beach and the pool. And Ros and Carolyn were absolutely great throughout the process, and helped out when I had an issue through my own fault. Highly recommended!

Disliked: Communication
The host has no problem breaking VRBO's community standards.'A little more than halfway through our trip, my 7-year-old son was washing sand off his feet and the dirt off the carport that had been there when we arrived, when suddenly the host started screaming at my son through the security camera to "Turn the water off now!" through the security camera. He was about to turn the water off when this occurred. This terrified him! My wife rushed to him when she came outside, and he was very upset and scared and didn't want to talk about the rest of the trip. We were very conscious of the cameras the rest of the time we were there, and made things tense outside every time we came in and out of the property.If you book this property, make sure that you know that "Big Brother", our greedy host, is watching and has no problem screaming at 7-year-olds.This is a very convenient location; it's close to the pool and the ocean, but not worth the extra cost. The furniture in the living room is uncomfortable at best. This is a money grab for the host, and it's obvious throughout the home. Cape San Blas is awesome, but there are better properties and better hosts that don't worry about .01 of water from a water hose.BEWARE!
Great place! Pictures are a little outdated, but still accurate for the most part! Great beach acces
Easiest reservation experience I’ve had!! I really liked that I was able to book flexible dates and was not forced to book Saturday-Saturday like almost everybody else makes you do.
