Family Port Joe Vacation

I would recommend it for multi family groups. The air conditioning is not even on all levels. Access to the beach was excellent. Communication from the owner and management was excellent.

Great vacation home

House was very nice. Location was awesome because it is very close to the beach. House advertises a hot tub but there isn’t a hot tub and the kitchen has lots of fancy dishes for hosting but not very practical dishes for making meals for a family.

Great location

Everything we needed for a great week. Beautiful sunsets from the porches, gulf view. Best part was proximity to fishing as my group are kayak fishermen and there was plenty of parking for our kayak trailer which is hard to find. Jamie was easily accessible for our questions.

The home was amazing! Had everything you might need or want. You could never get tired of the sunsets, there. You can see the water from the decks but there are houses in the way. I used the zoom lens on my camera. There are lots of steps to get in.

Wonderful beach home

Crane Cottage was an amazing beach home! It was our kids and grandkids first visit to Florida and we made so many memories we will cherish forever. We had amazing views of the Gulf from both decks. The beach home was very cozy and inviting and beautifully decorated! Our hosts were so wonderful and very quick to answer all our questions. We will definitely come back to visit and stay at Crane Cottage again!!

Excellent Location and Stay!

We had an excellent multi-family stay! The location to the beach access is great! Very short walk to the beach, or you can rent a golf cart to shuttle all of your beach gear to the access from multiple rental companies in the area. The home was well decorated and had comfortable beds! Plenty of dishes and kitchen cookware. The luggage lift was very handy for groceries and transport of daily cooler "beach supplies"! We will return the next time we visit the area!

This was our second stay at this property. Home was very clean and owner was very easy to work with, especially with Hurricane Helene approaching. Will rebook every year if possible.

We had a good week, although the place was smaller than anticipated. It was well stocked with hand soap and trash bags, even detergent. The gated deck was very nice. The bunk room is really more suited for kids, not adults. Bunks are low, I had to crawl in and out.

Perfect

The home was clean and very cozy. Everything you need for cooking meals in. The distance to the beach was about 600 feet so not far at all. And the best ocean views and the sunsets are beautiful. I could go on but I won't this place is perfect. I look forward to returning hopefully next year.

100% Recommend! Great experience!

We had a wonderful experience at Crane Cottage. The quiet neighborhood setting was just what we were looking for.Offers a short and direct walk to the beach where you will be presently surprised to find plenty of room to spread out as the area is not heavily populated. Our kids walked to the beach in the mornings and looked for shells by them selves as the area feels very secure. The house was well equipped and met all of our needs. A propane grill was a big plus. The kitchen had all the necessary components to cook our meals. Sunset views from the upper balcony were amazing!I would gladly recommend this property to anyone!

Wonderful Stay!

Our family had a wonderful stay at this beach house! It is perfect for families with young children, and had toys and games that were a huge hit. The walk to the beach was very short and the host had lots of toys and beach chairs to use. The kitchen was stocked well and labeled, but could use a little more plates, or plan on running the dish washer after most meals. We enjoyed sitting out on the porch every evening with the beach view and breeze, and the sunset views are wonderful from the top deck. If you like to go out to eat for meals, just know this area is mainly food trucks, with a few sit down restaurants. We would definitely consider coming back to this house!

The home is very nice and being only two blocks from the beach it affords lovely views and sounds of the Gulf. Enjoy watching an amazing sunset from the balcony sitting area. The host was prompt was prompt in responding to messages There are quite a few stairs to climb to get to door which made the elevator wonderful for getting our luggage, cooler and grocery into the house. The house does not have keyless entry and we found the “realtor style” lockbox inconvenient to use in order to access or depart from the house. The home is nicely decorated with beach decor, the furniture was comfortable and large dining room table that seats 8 was a bonus! A table that size is not always available in a rental. The home has a very quiet dishwasher and a large drum top loading washing machine and front loading dryer. We enjoyed the home and will keep it on our radar for another visit to the area!

Response from VrboOwner on Jan 19, 2026
Cheryl, thank you so much for your review! I think you’re absolutely right about the realtor style lock box so I will get that changed out to a combination style keypad on the door itself. Thank you!
