This was one of the best stocked places i have ever rented. The host really thought of everything. We loved how close it was to the beach, the beach wagon, and the high end furnishings. It was such a lovely touch that they left a toy for our pup!

The view was amazing and the walk to the beach was super quick and easy. We also were able to walk to Shipwreck restaurant one night too. We enjoyed the place so much! Each room was clean and cozy. I can tell the owners pay close attention to detail and making their guests feel welcome and at home!

This home was amazing and we will be back. Everything is so well stocked. Plenty of towels and beach towels. Kitchen has everything you need to cook dinner at home and the coffee bar is amazing. Looks exactly like the listing and it’s so clean and well cared for. Easy walk to the beach. Excellent communication with Kate. She answered all my questions promptly.

From the first inquiry to the last our communication about this property was top notch. My husband & I spend 10 relaxing days here and we could not be happier the condo is super clean, beautifully decorated and has all the beach supplies you will need for a perfect beach vacation! The kitchen is well stocked, only item we could not find was a cutting board. The primary bed was firm but very comfortable and the sheets were super soft, I even looked to see what brand they were! It was very hot during our stay and the condo was always cool. We did use the fun pool a few times. The beach essentials like the cart, chairs, umbrella & towels came in super handy, the simple walk across the street and down to the beach was easy. The beach was never crowded when we were there and the sunsets were amazing! We would go back in a heartbeat!

This is our 2nd time staying here this year. Not only is this place fabulous it’s so close to the beach. The owner has everything you can possibly think of to take to the beach. The only thing we bring is our tent. The kitchen is fully stocked. I also love the cowboy pool. Did I mention how clean this condo is???? Immaculate! Hated to leave. I promise you will enjoy your stay.

The house was great. I would definitely recommend the Home and the host. We had one little question when we first checked in and they got back to us within five minutes.The view from both the patio and the deck are phenomenal. The bedding was fabulous. The interior finishes were great. All the amenities were top-notch. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.!!Treat yourself to a wonderful vacation in this fabulous home!

We loved our stay at Stella Maris! The property is definitely an oceanfront gem that is decorated beautifully throughout! It's so coastal, modern and clean! Stella Maris is well stocked for all your needs. The beach towels and beach umbrella were very much appreciated. All the furniture was super comfortable and cozy. You will witness breathtaking views from the upper balcony and the front porch! We loved the easy walk to the beach, and the Shipwreck Raw Bar, which is just a short walk, serves the absolute most delicious seafood! Kate is an awesome host! She promptly responded to all my questions from the very start. She also checked on us when we arrived and checked during the week to see if there was anything we needed. Most special of all Kate had me take the pup toy home to my pup for a souvenir:) She was so kind, thoughtful, and absolutely the most accommodating host we have ever had. You will not be disappointed with this amazing home away from home!

Amazing spot. So glad we found it. Right across the street from the beach. All beach gear provided and stored in covered shed. While the weather didn’t cooperate, so we didn’t get to enjoy the cowboy pool. Super clean. Super stocked. Top shelf kitchen equipment and utensils. So many beach and bath towels. My wife and daughters couldn’t stop talking about how comfortable the throws on the couch and chairs were, or the scents of the various hand soaps and lotions throughout. It took us a while to find a pet-friendly spot with fully fenced yard for our two 50 pounder pups. This was perfect for them. We could let them out back or out front (since they aren’t jumpers), and we were welcomed with two chew toys upon arrival. One made it. The other was not so fortunate. The only “negative” was the road noise during peak traffic times. But you can’t escape that with any homes within earshot of 98 or 30A. Definitely our new getaway spot for our family of 4. 5-10 minutes to Mexico Beach spots and 15-20 to Port St. Joe. Oh and the hosts replied within minutes with every inquiry.

Great place to stay with everything you need! The rooms were big and comfortable, kitchen stocked, beach gear to use, and easy walk to the beach! Our favorites were the porch swing, cowboy pool and great view! P.S. super thankful for the blackout curtains for some extra hours of sleep for the kids
