Beautiful house on the beach

We had a large group of adults and one toddler stay for a week a this lovely house. The house is located in a quiet area of the town. There are a couple restaurants, coffee shop and ice cream a few miles away. We had a great stay and would stay again!

Looking forward to returning!

The house was great for our small grand kids and our young adult kids as well. The elevator was a great help with the littles. The kitchen has everything you need. We loved the heated pool! It was perfectly positioned to give you relief from the sun. The gas grill was also a huge plus. The sunsets were gorgeous and we didn't have to leave the porch to see them! However, it was only a few steps to the beach to enjoy it there as well. We look forward to returning next year!!

Blissful Getaway

We enjoyed a great blend of beach time with our private walkway to the beach with the fun of a swimming pool with both a kid- friendly end as well as a deep end. Kitchen was stocked with almost anything we would need for fixing our meals. Grill was a great bonus too. Rooms gave us lots of space to stretch out as a family of 11. Loved the decks overlooking the water !!

The perfect gathering place for our spread-out family! Beautiful spacious home. Well appointed and perfectly equipped kitchen. The beach is great. We will return to Mexico Beach/Port St. Joe. Harmon Realty was a breeze to work with. I highly recommend checking out Vacation Prep Squad if you’re visiting the area. A Godsend!!

Dolphin haven!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at this beautiful home! There were 8 of us who stayed at the house, with 4 adults and 4 kids. The house was everything we wanted and more! When we arrived, we couldn't believe how beautiful the views were from all levels. The house was very nicely decorated and the floors were basically spotless, even though the house was on the beach. We've stayed in some beach houses where you feel grit on the floor, but not this one! We also loved using the elevator for things like luggage, groceries, so we didn't have to carry them up any stairs. We also used the elevator for wet children coming inside from the pool/beach, so they didn't track any water/sand all around the house. The kitchen was very roomy and had basically everything we needed. We loved the huge fridge and freezer, also.The location of this house is ideal for people who like to cook at home, as there are basically only food trucks closeby. The beds were very comfortable and the kids loved the bunk room, which had their own outlet for each bed cubby. We saw dolphins every single day during the week we stayed, which usually came out in the morning and evening. The pool was the warmest pool I've ever been in, too, which was amazing. It rained pretty hard one day, but because the pool is under the house, we could still swim. The beach was absolutely beautiful and not crowded whatsoever. We also appreciated that every puzzle piece was in the Sixties puzzle. Lol We would love to stay here again!

The family enjoyed staying at Sinking Sun. House was not as clean as I would have thought and some of the starting essentials were missing. Our view was absolutely stunning and we will consider the Sinking Sun for future trips.

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. The house is cleaned before and after each guest and to make sure it's perfect moving forward we had it deep cleaned after your departure. We would've been happy to correct any concerns and/or bring by any missing items if we would've been notified during your stay. We look forward to having your family stay with us again in the future.

Beautiful house and great location

We have found our new best place to stay. The house was just like the photos and the view doesn't compare to what you see when your really there. The sun set is right out the back doors and you have a post card view each evening. We couldn't have asked for a better location. House was super clean, very well stocked with a lot of different kitchen supplies, nice TV's in every bedroom. The elevator was oh so nice when unloading and bringing in groceries. Pool was heated and very nice. Beach was wide open, not crazy like the other tourist beaches. Nice local mom and pop stores. Upon reading their guest book sounds like several repeat customers and we plan on using this place for years to come.

Loved the house. It's beautiful. The elevator was a great help since we had some people that have a hard time with steps. The area is great. We were disappointed in the cleaning of the house. We did talk to the leasing manager and he made it right. We will definitely stay here again.
