Amazing stay

Check in was super easy, owner was quick to respond and always very pleasant to speak with. House was great- lots of space for our large family. We got married on the beach that is walking distance from the house and everything was perfect!

Perfect for multiple or large families

This place was absolutely perfect. It was clean, well furnished, and in an incredible location. Port St. Joe is such a cute little town with great beaches and awesome people. And this house embodies the Port St Joe vibe. Easy walks to the beach, games galore, and relaxing beach themed decor. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Would absolutely book again and recommend to friends.

Fun Family Time

The house was set up perfect rooms upstairs and downstairs plenty of space to spread out. We didn’t spend a lot of time in the kitchen but it did have everything set up for cooking meals, the coffee pot was used :) and it could make a full pot or just 1 cup. The game room in the garage was also a bonus. The lot was large with ample parking for our vehicles and jet skis
