Cozy Dog-Friendly Cottage · Steps to Gulf Beach · Sleeps 4

Not every Cape San Blas getaway needs to sleep twelve. Sometimes the best vacation is just the two of you — or a small group of four — in a beautifully appointed retreat where every detail feels personal and nothing feels wasted. Little Pelican is the hidden gem of Barrier Dunes: a one-bedroom end unit that punches well above its size with a top-floor king master suite, panoramic lake and Gulf views from two large private decks, an updated soaking tub and walk-in tile shower, and access to all the community amenities of one of Cape San Blas's finest gated neighborhoods. Small footprint. Big experience.

🌊 Panoramic lake and Gulf views from two large private decks
🐾 Dog friendly — the perfect Cape San Blas escape for couples and their pup
🛏️ Sleeps 4 — private top-floor king master suite + queen sleeper sofa
👑 King master suite with soaking tub, updated tile shower & double-sink vanity
🏊 Beachfront community pool with easy access — steps from your door
🏖️ Steps to the beach in the gated Barrier Dunes community
🌲 Right outside the entrance to St. Joseph Peninsula State Park
🎾 Tennis and pickleball courts nearby
🚗 2-car covered carport + stocked beach closet

👶 Pack 'n Play available
🔒 Gated Barrier Dunes community — quiet, private & beautifully maintained

Little Pelican is built for the kind of vacation where slowing down is the entire point. Wake up in the top-floor king suite as morning light filters in, the freshwater lake glimmering below the private deck and the Gulf shimmering just beyond it — two of the prettiest views on Cape San Blas, from the same balcony chair. Take your time over coffee at the breakfast bar before drifting downstairs to load up the beach gear from the stocked closet. The beach is steps away, the beachfront pool is just around the corner, and St. Joseph Peninsula State Park — one of Florida's most pristine natural treasures — is practically at the front gate. Afternoons are for the Adirondack captain's chairs on the main deck, the gas grill, and the kind of unhurried conversation that only happens when you're truly away from it all. Evenings, you climb back up to the master suite, fill the soaking tub, and let the day dissolve. The pelicans have the right idea.

The main level is bright and open with a fully equipped kitchen, breakfast bar with two barstools, bay window seat, dining area, living room with queen sleeper sofa and Smart TV, half bath, and a large deck with gas grill and Adirondack captain's chairs overlooking the lake. Stacked washer and dryer conveniently located on this level.
