This. cute cottage was immaculate and well stocked. There were 2 flights of steps to get from the parking area to the kitchen, so consider that if you have trouble with steps. It was most comfortable as a 4 person place…seating was for 4. We had 6 for dinner a couple of nights and managed by pulling in 2 chairs from the balcony, but we wouldn’t have been able to watch tv comfortably.

We so enjoyed our 19 day stay on Money Beach at the Paradise VRBO. Very clean, cute and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the lovely views of the surf from the covered patio on the second floor. Beds were very comfortable to sleep on - the third bed, a pull out sofa sleeper - was also comfortable and made a great napping spot :). The VRBO is nicely supplied with just the right equipment - the beach chairs and umbrella were perfect on the beach. Money beach is a wide and quiet beach and only just a quick walk with no busy streets to cross. Two hour walks on the beach- one way - provided endless shelling, shore bird and dolphin viewing (on very large pod had a couple of jumping calfs totally out of the water - amazing! While driving is allowed on the beach, it wasn't a problem and mostly consisted of golf carts loaded with beach gear. Really just a lovely beach - felt like it was just ours at times. This VRBO is well located, just a few miles from the Port of St. Joe, Cape San Blas. The seafood in this area is outstanding - just a few minutes from the Indian Pass Raw Bar (great music!) and Hunts (great music) on the southern tip of the Port of St. Joe Bay. We enjoyed Port of St. Joe, but Apalachicola is just such a cute historic port, with historic homes and lovely board walk. We especially enjoyed the Half Shell and up the Creek Raw bar. We will be back!
