Our stay in Port St. Joe was fantastic! The rental was exactly as described, spotlessly clean and more well-equipped than any place I’ve ever stayed. We had everything we needed and more. The owner was wonderful to work with, very responsive, and knowledgeable about the area. We truly enjoyed our time here and hope to stay again!

Wonderful Place To Stay

This is the second time we have booked with Richard and Ginger. We have a yearly family trip to Port Saint Joe and always book to stay here so we can have our space with our dogs while visiting our family in town. The place is always clean, full of amenities, and is always a great price. Richard is so nice he even stopped by in person to check in to see if we needed anything. We will definitely keep staying here year after year for future family trips.

Great Stay

We would definitely stay here again. It was perfect for my daughter and I. We loved walking down and playing around in the bay at the park. Everything was clean and comfy. Richard gave us some great suggestions for restaurants and was very attentive to answering emails promptly.

Great location, perfect for our needs, reasonable rates!

Cute little duplex, comfy beds & furniture, extra little touches, nice outdoor spaces, loved the walking trail with all the green spaces! Met the owner and he’s funny & nice. We also loved being able to walk into town to eat, shop, and watch sunsets over the bay! The ocean was just a 10 min drive where we parked along the road at a beach path. So not crowded!!

Crab shack was the perfect, quiet getaway for scalloping on Labor Day weekend. House was clean with cute decor and had a safe, extensive walking path behind the house. The hosts even stopped by to check and make sure we had everything we needed! Delicious recommendations for dinner within walking distance and all the kitchen attire was readily available for nights we cooked in. Highly recommend this place! Thank you! We will be back :)

Fabulous hosts!! Wish I could give them more stars! The place is on a quiet street. It was spic and span clean, adorably decorated with nice touches such as water and snacks for both humans and furries. Richard made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. He had lots of information/recommendations for local restaurants and activities. It wasn’t an issue for us, but do know that this is a duplex with a shared backyard. All around lovely stay. We’ll be back soon!! Thanks y’all!!

Just right

I was visiting friends in Port St Joe. The Crab Shack was just a few blocks from their place, easily within walking distance. I used the walking trail that runs behind the house daily. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. The house was clean and had everything I needed. I plan to stay again the next time I’m in the area.
