Great stay for low key vacation.

This is a wonderful cottage to stay at. Close to a public beach. It is not far to Mexico Beach or to the Cape where there is a state park with facilities. A bit of a drive to Destin though. Great for a quiet stay.

A wonderful, comfortable cottage!

We enjoyed our stay in this cute, comfortable cottage. Everything was clean and new, with a great location facing the pool. Highly recommended! The complex is situated across the highway from the beach, but by car we were close to Port St. Joe and great beaches.

Beautiful home to visit

We enjoyed our stay! The home was beautiful and very clean. It was convenient to have the pool outside of the house for my 9 year old and the beaches were only 1 mile away.
