The property was better than advertised. It was bigger than I thought it would be. Outside of the home is a great place ...

It was a great place to stay

The property was better than advertised. It was bigger than I thought it would be. Outside of the home is a great place to spend time with the family. The home had everything that you could possibly need it’s like they have thought of everything. I highly recommend and would definitely stay there again.

Has Everything

The house was sized right for a family group of 12. Comfortably appointed and furnished and the beds were comfortable. The pool, hot tub, river kayaks, back patio, tennis court and large lawn area were great for kids and adults. Very private and down a long, tree lined lane.

Dream Vacation

The swimming pool was a big hit for all! Playing tennis was fun for the younger adults and the 16-year-old loved the basement pool table, darts and her own space! The soda pop provided was wonderful and an added bonus for her. Seeing wildlife was a plus for the seniors. The bedrooms in the house are set up so the younger children and seniors can still stay on schedule with bedtimes and not be bothered with the noises of others in the house. This house was the ultimate for our 3 families. Plenty of space for all. Truly a DREAM VACATION!

Family getaway

Our experience at St. Joe was nothing short of amazing. The communication was spot on. Once we arrived we instantly felt at home. It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend them to anyone that’s looking for a nice size, clean home for family staycations.
