The location is very reasonably priced and in walking distance to the beach and the shops in downtown St Joe. The host is very helpful and responds very quickly if you need any help or have any questions. The screened in front porch is a wonderful place to hang out.

The house was very clean. We only used the king bed and it was very comfortable. The bedrooms were upstairs, which was fine for us. We could have easily walked to many of the places we visited but it was cold, windy and rainy. We appreciated the snacks that were left for us. The patio was nice but again the weather was uncooperative. Cindy responded quickly when we initially had trouble with the door.

We had a great extended weekend and would definitely come again. Perfect location, within walking distance to downtown with so much to do and see. This is a great foodie town if you are into that. Bike friendly as well. House was clean and welcoming. Host was very responsive and helpful. Would love to come again in the summer so we can enjoy the beach.
