Weā€™ve stayed in several places in Port St. Joe and this is by far the most comfortable, peaceful and relaxing place weā€™ve stayed! From either screened in porch, you can hear the ocean. And see it too! The house has every accommodation we needed. The rooms were wonderful and the sheets were the softest Iā€™ve ever felt! Lynn was very prompt with our communications. And the location is central to everything! A 5 minute walk to the most beautiful beaches, and such friendly locals! If I could choose a house to own in the Port St. Joe area, I would choose one just like this! When we come back, we hope to stay again! Thank you for everything including wonderful memories!!

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Jun 2022
Iā€™m glad you enjoyed your stay. Once you contacted me about the internet issue, I reached out to the neighbors and learned that there was an outage in the neighborhood. I did reach out to you the next morning to see if it was back on and was told it was once again working. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Unfortunately, it was completely out of our control.

Just Right!!

The house is exactly as advertised. The side porch was the perfect place for morning coffee. Quiet neighborhood. The bathroom and showers are updated and very nice! The kitchen is updated with stainless appliances, but the house had the charm of a Florida beachhouse. Only about a block to the beach. We hope to return!

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is clean and cozy, kitchen is well stocked for all cooking needs, and the neighborhood is quiet. It is just steps away to a beautiful, dog-friendly beach. We enjoyed riding the bikes provided, and communication with the owner was excellent.

Quiet neighborhood, close to beach. The Banana Cabana is the perfect bungalow with a good selection of beach chairs and everything you need for a day at the beach. Keyless entry is a plus. Awesome little place to relax and decompress!
