WHAT OUR GUESTS LOVE
✹ The neighborhood is wonderful, the house had everything you need for a beach vacation, and access to the gulf cart was added fun. Check in was super easy and the hosts communicated very well.
✹ We had two families with kids and the grandparents. Everyone had plenty of space and activities galore - heated swimming pool, outdoor games, game room inside and heaps of board games. The kitchen and BBQ are well equipped for cooking, but also close to restaurants in Mexico Beach and Port St Joe. The home and linens were spotless.
✹ The house has two wings and a central common area, perfect for large groups. The area is walkable to the gulf or the golf cart, honestly there was so much to do at the house we ended up skipping the gulf for most of the trip! The beach area and the gulf itself is beautiful in this area
✹ The house is very spacious for my family of 10 & always something to keep even our teens happy!
✹ Excellent! This house is a kid’s paradise. Offered more than any other listing I’ve seen. Host communicated promptly with any questions we had.
✹ Tim and Katie provided an awesome experience for my family. It had a ton of entertainment with a beautiful pool that was heated and a beautiful beach across the street.

It’s the Little Things!
This is such a beautiful area and a great house for a group of 10 or less! We had 7 on our trip, including one child, and the bedrooms and bathroom (3) situations worked perfectly. The bunk room is great for kids, because it’s furthest away from the living area with 2 doors between and leaves nappers/early sleepers undisturbed. The pool was beautiful and great sized. Washer, dryer, and kitchen appliances were modern and worked very efficiently. Plus there are two kitchens (extra storage and fridge space + a second oven/stove), so many fun activities to partake in (games, Pool table, foosball, pac man arcade, shuffleboard, corn hole, pickleball net, etc.). The kitchen and dining rooms were spacious with lots of seating, and the open floor plan was nice. Bathrooms were well/stocked with soap, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, and hand soap. And the place was beautiful and well-decorated and maintained! When we had an issue (a breaker needed resetting, and the box was in the owner’s locked closet), someone came to fix our issue within a few hours.

2024 Family Vacay
This house was the perfect house for our multi family vacation. A couple blocks from the beach, gulf cart to take us there and back, lots of games for adults as well as children. Plenty of room in the house for all of us. We had a great time!

Beautiful
This is my family first time taking a trip together so we were skeptical about the best location & home that would suit all of or needs. This home exceeded what we needed and wanted. The moment I pulled into the driveway I fell in love! The home is exactly as pictured & if I ever decide to visit that area again I truly hope this home is available. Tim & Katie kept in touch throughout the stay & even before the stay. If you are thinking about staying here, don’t think but actually DO IT. Very family oriented area and neighborhood.

Great Spring Break Vacation!
Our family of 5 had a great time staying at Sunny St Joe with our good friends (family of 6) with kids ranging from age 5-11. Home layout was perfect for our crew, and everyone had a great time swimming in the pool, relaxing on the couch, playing games and going to the beach. Communication was easy, and the location was perfect. Highly recommend.

Awesome Spring Break Getaway!
Beautiful accommodations! Our 2 families which included 4 adults and 4 teens had ample space to spread out, relax and have fun! The house was very clean with fun, beachy decor throughout. We have everything we needed to have a great vacation. The kids spent countless hours in the pool, laying in the sun and playing all the various provided games. The beach is a short walk in a nice residential neighborhood and wasn’t crowded regardless of the time of day. Many restaurants and food trucks in the area. The hosts were available throughout the week if needed. It was a great stay! Would HIGHLY recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Tim & Katie Griffin

Host profile image
We are an international family of four - Tim, Katie, Luke & Spencer. We love to travel and spend as much time as we can outdoors exploring nature. One of our favorite spots is the white-sand beaches of Florida so we decided to buy a second home here to share with other like-minded people who love to spend quality time together and build life-long memories. Sunny St Joe was the perfect spot for us - only 2 blocks to a spectacular beach, a large enough space for multiple families, a huge pool, and only 10 minutes from downtown Port St Joe. We have a background in hospitality and love creating fun guest experiences!

Why they chose this property

It's a cozy little beach neighborhood with a relaxed vibe. We love that the beach is pet-friendly and has a modest number of visitors compared to nearby beaches, which makes it perfect for families. We enjoy taking the golf cart to pick up groceries right down the street, hitting the food trucks in the summer, and our favorite restaurant Shipwreck less than a mile down the road.

What makes this property unique

Games. Lots of them. Pool, shuffleboard, foosball, ping pong, pickleball, badminton, cornhole, bocce, pool basketball, pool volleyball, board games, and puzzles.
The golf cart is included, and you won't find a standalone sauna anywhere else nearby!
