  What a great Week Actually, the description of the place and the photos did not embrace the reality of this place. I've rented a lot on VRBO and this was THE BEST experience we EVER had. The pictures do not do it justice and neither does the description. We had a great week at this house in Port St. Joe . The property owners were wonderful. We watched dolphins daily. The house was exactly what we expected....very nice! It was really clean The kids loved the loft area and the top balcony! The beach was a very short walk away. There were only three or four other families on the beach anytime we were there which we loved! The views of the ocean from the house were great! We sat on the screened in porch and watched the sunsets over the water. It was a very relaxing week! We also did several things while we were there besides hanging out at the beach. We went horseback riding in Cape San Blas using Two-Bit Stables. We ate at the Indian Pass Raw Bar. The seafood was amazing and had been caught only a couple of hours earlier. We ate at Joe Mama's pizza place...absolutely the best pizza we had ever had. We visited the Cape San Blas Lighthouse as well. I was able to work because of the Fast Wi-Fi . The flat screen TV made watching the NBA finals a pleasure. The beach is beautiful, clean and peaceful. The view is stunning.. We truly enjoyed our stay, and will return again.

  My family and I stayed here last week. We had a fantastic time! The house was exactly what we expected....very nice! It was really clean and stocked with kitchen necessities for cooking meals. It was so nice not to have to bring from home beach toys, umbrellas, and chairs. We only had to pack a suitcase of clothes and flip flops for the beach. The girls loved the loft area and the top balcony! The beach was a very short walk away. There were only three or four other families on the beach anytime we were there which we loved! The views of the ocean from the house were great! We sat on the screened in porch and watched the sunsets over the water. It was a very relaxing week! We also did several things while we were there besides hanging out at the beach. We went horseback riding in Cape San Blas using Two-Bit Stables. We ate at the Indian Pass Raw Bar. The seafood was amazing and had been caught only a couple of hours earlier. We ate at Joe Mama's pizza place...absolutely the best pizza we had ever had. We visited the Cape San Blas Lighthouse as well. We really loved our entire experience there and will definitely use this place for our next beach trip! Thank you again for letting us stay and enjoy your home!

  Actually, the description of the place and the photos did not embrace the reality of this place. I've rented a lot on VRBO and this was THE BEST experience we EVER had. The pictures do not do it justice and neither does the description. We had a couple tiny glitches when we got here and the owners not only solved the problem IMMEDIATELY, but they also followed-up to make sure things worked out. VERY HAPPY!!! Just some advice, bring a canopy for the beach and bring stakes to secure it. You can leave it up all week. There were a lot of sting rays in the water....a whole school of them came by us, but they won't bother you. Just shuffle your feet so you don't step on one. If you like to fish, this is the place. Saw an otter while eating at Boss Oysters in Apalachicola. Saw dolphins, a beautiful starfish, etc. Make sure you go swimming out at St. Joseph's State Park. It's paradise. Go to the lighthouse on Cape San Blas for HUGE shells. The Indian Pass Raw bar has the best oysters and crab legs I have eaten in my life. The only thing that would have made this place MORE perfect for my little family (9-year old girl, 3-year old boy) is if there was another outdoor shower. THAT THING ROCKS!!! Not sure if the showers in the house work, cause we never used them!!! Oh, we were here for 4th of July and watched fireworks from our balcony. Not a huge show, but my kids don't require a lot. Oh, bring bug spray. We did get bit sitting on the top deck at night and the screened in porch isn't completely screened in...so you still get bugs. Kids have loved the movies and the loft area is an adult free zone....my kids think THAT is fantastic. Oh, king size bed in master, two twins and a full in loft, as well as queen/full in basement room. Lots of towels, they have soap, shampoo/cond, even crab boil if you want to boil your own seafood. Did I mention we loved it here??

  Better than photos, and even more beds than described. Could actually sleep 10 if needed-1 king,1 full,1 queen (in loft), 2 twins, and 1 queen sofa bed. Kitchen was very well stocked, plenty of towels,beach toys,etc. House was clean and beautiful inside. Owner was quick to respond, professional, and trustworthy. We loved having the beach almost entirely to ourselves. We also enjoyed the spectacular ocean views from the porches, and having coffee every morning on the top deck watching the sun come up. Very conveniently located between Port St. Joe and Appalachicola offering many choices for restaurants and shops. Many choices for purchasing fresh seafood that is out of this world. Love the fresh shrimp, bay scallops, and flounder! Highly recommend this property and will be back next year!

  We had a great time. Everything was exactly as described and very user friendly. Fast Wi-Fi Super friendly locals, great location to visit nearby communities. Perfect distance to the beach. Loved the shaded screened porch, really nice in the super heat we had that week. Good communication from owner prior and following our stay.

  We had a great stay at Port St. Joe and the property owners were wonderful to work with! We caught several fish and a small shark which my husband was very happy about! We watched dolphins daily as they swam back and forth. The beach is very clean and uncrowded which we liked a lot! You do have to walk past a house to get to the beach but it is still very close to the beach. The stairs in the house were a lot for me since I am pregnant but the house itself was beautiful, clean, and we truly enjoyed our stay. We did try going to the Indian Raw Pass bar but the wait was way too long (waited 1.5 hrs and still not seated), the atmosphere was very casual but we really liked the live music and down home feel. We would love to come back and try to go there earlier in the day. We ended up eating at the Sunset Cove and it was very good food and we only waited a few minutes. I have to say the owners of the property were very kind and I loved renting from them!

  The property was more than what we expected. The house was well cleaned and maintained, having great working appliances. Everything you need for the week is there, minus the food and wine! We look forward to returning soon.

  My husband and our lovely Lilly (dog) enjoyed a wonderful week in the peaceful setting in Port St. Joe. We could not have asked for a nicer setting and a more charming beach house. The house was very well stocked and very clean. We would definitely recommend this home if you are looking for nice views, calm waters and a totally relaxing surrounding. We would suggest the Indian Pass Raw Bar Restaurant. It was one of our favorites and just a short drive.

  You couldn't ask for a better place to spend a vacation. It is as beautiful as the pictures and spotless. The beds are comfortable. It is beautifully stocked with amenities and the beach is steps away. Cape San Blas is an easy ride for more spectacular scenery. Pt. St. Joe and Appalachicola are lovely towns for a stroll and some shopping and the Indian Pass Raw Bar lives up to its reputation. That was some of the best seafood I have ever had. You really can't go wrong here, a lovely, comfy house located in an area that is what all of Florida should be like.

  We just completed an amazing 5 days at this incredible home. It is everything we read about and more. The beach was not crowded at all, the water was delicious and the house was impecably clean and inviting with all the amenities you could possibly need or think of. We really only brought our bathing suits and clothes. We highly recomment going to Apalachicola - Eat at Boss Oyster, one of the top 10 Oyster Bars in the country, and shop the antique and eclectic shops. Count on us going back.

  Heather and Maria, Just wanted to let you know we are here at the beach house. So glad we came; there is no sign of oil and the weather is great. And we love the house! Best-stocked beach house we've EVER rented, which makes for a relaxing arrival and comfortable stay. Thanks.

  My 9 year old and 11 year old son and I spent a week here in May and had the times of our lives. The house has bikes and fishing poles and pails and rafts for the kids and a kitchen that is equipped with anything that you could possibly need to cook. When we were there, the house had paper towels, toilet paper, and laundry soap to spare. It was nice to be able to just walk into the house and do laundry, feed the boys, make a margarita, and relax. The views from the house are incredible. The beach is beautiful. We fished, travelled to the wildlife refuge on St. Vincent's Island (the ferry is 5 minutes away), road the bikes, ate at the delicious (and famous) Indian Pass Raw Bar, grilled our caught fish on the outdoor grill and had a fabulous vacation. This was a perfect beach house experience. Thanks to the owners for a wonderful time.
