Home had all of the amenities we needed for our stay. Was in a great location in the middle of town, and the outdoor courtyard with fire pit was great!

Great little week getaway bungalow. It’s a very quiet and safe area. This little gem has very comfortable furniture and beds. A 5-10 minute walk puts right in the middle of the entertainment district with specialty shops and dining. We will definitely stay here again when visiting Port St. Joe!

Rental is just like pictures.. no false advertising which I loved. We walked in to a very clean space. It was perfect for your furry friend... pet door, fenced in yard, the back room where the doggie door is , it’s kind of like a sun room with a full view separate door that you can close. It’s in a perfection location with walking distance downtown and you feel extremely safe because the police and sheriff’s office is right next door. Will definitely be staying here again.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the cleanliness and pet-friendly features of the space. It's great to know that the location and safety contributed to your positive experience. We look forward to welcoming you and your furry friend back soon!
An amazing medium sized house that is a 5 minute walk to the bay and downtown!!! My kids and little dog loved the layout of the house and thd big back yard! My husband appreciated the sitting room in the back of the house where he could read and get away from the noise of the kids.
The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had all the appliances and dinnerware we needed.
A note: if you do stay here, plan on bringing coffee and/or k cups and filters. The coffee bar is minimally stocked. There is a keurig coffee maker as well as a regular coffee pot.
Family dollar/dollar tree is a block away. Piggly wiggly and dollar general grocery market are both about a 2 minute drive if you need any groceries or supplies!!! We'll definitely try to stay here again on our next visit!!!

9.75/10 Wonderful little house! Not even a 5 minute walk to downtown PSJ, 5-10 minute drive from several beach accesses and all the good food. Pet friendly house and fenced back yard. Very clean!Not quite a 10/10 because the lawn and landscaping needs some love! Im a landscaper so maybe it irks me a little more than most lol.

First time in any type of Vrbo/Air BnB experience. Layout of this house was perfect for our needs and superior to a comparable stay at the Port Inn. Location is just two blocks away from town, and a block away from the lighthouse and bay. Perfect location and arrangement. Would definitely stay here in the future!
