Thank you for staying with us! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful property and that check-in was smooth. We’d love to host you again in the future!
We enjoyed our stay in PSJ! The home was beautiful and nicely decorated. I really liked that it’s a gated community and it was in close proximity to the marina and where we met up with other friends.

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and that the home was a perfect fit for your trip. Thanks for staying with us and keep us in mind for future travels!
Great place to stay near beach and I really felt safe when walking my dog. Quiet gated community is exactly what I needed. Beds are on the softer side. I personally prefer a harder mattress but honestly you could not go wrong staying here. I would say that if a problem did arise the management company was not great at reaching back out. Their laminated brochure is not up to date and mentions needing a parking pass and if it’s not present after you leave you will be fined. It took a couple days to respond back to say that the information in the brochure is not accurate and up to date. I also asked for the code to the workout room and never heard back. I’m so grateful that I truly had no issues with the place itself and enjoyed the community and my stay.
Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed the location and found the property charming. Keep us in mind for your future travels. We’d love to host you again!

Perfect little getaway spot. Literally a 2 minute drive to beach. Great pools on site. The cottage has pretty much everything you need. Right by the gated entrance, yet quiet and safe. A short drive to shops, stores, restaurants in “downtown” Port St. Joe. Just beware there are steep steps to get to the bedrooms. But all in all, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay again if we ever find ourselves in the area.
This cute property was in the perfect spot for quick access to beaches. It also has a pool and hot tub to enjoy-everyone we met was so nice! This rental was very clean and easy to check in and out.

This was a super cute place that was super convenient to everything. We came down to scallop for the opening weekend. The house was tastefully decorated and clean. We will be back!
