Great property. Exceptionally clean. We have stayed at dozens of vacation rentals along the Gulf Coast and this is at the top. Exactly as described. The pool was a great addition especially after a day at the beach.

This was our first trip to the Saint Joe beach area and this house did not disappoint! The property was spotless, well appointed and had room for the whole family. The elevator was a welcome bonus as well as the pool. Steps to the uncrowded beach and awesome views. The property manager responded promptly to any questions and requests. Highly recommend this house!

This house is absolutely beautiful! We had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy our stay, The location is perfect, we love the laid back vibe of PSJ. The beach was easily accessible and the sunsets are gorgeous. Ocean views from every floor was a bonus. My Granddaughter loved swimming in the pool. This house has everything needed for a comfortable stay. We did take advantage of the equipment/rental delivery service and the kids loved their evening bike ride on the beach bikes. We are ready to come back next year!!!

Although the accommodations were nice, the management company charged us for damages we didn't cause. Recommend taking pictures of entire premise before you stay. Will not stay at another rental through Sunshine Vacations

Great beach getaway

The house was well stocked with many amenities, including everything we needed and then some. Really enjoyed the short walk to the beach and we used the cart to help tow beach gear back and forth. The beach itself was great as it was in a more secluded area which was great and partly why we booked. We did have an issue with Vrbo and the booking itself, but that has nothing to do with the property itself. Recommend booking this wonderful property outside of Vrbo

This home is fabulous, but be aware, you will not know until you rent this property that they will give you one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of paper towels, one dishwasher pod and one garbage bag for an entire week with a full house of people. When we started using the dishes in the kitchen we found out that most of the pots, pan and cookware were put away dirty as well as a good portion of the silverware and kitchen utensils were dirty as well as if someone just put them away when they were done using them. House was dirty when we got in, sand on the floors and food in the corners and both the outdoor garbage cans were entirely full. Make sure when you get here to make a run to the grocery store for essentials like foil, storage bags, spices, oil or anything of that type, as there is nothing like that in the house for cooking or storing food or any other things of that type. Make sure to go to Dollar General as the Piggly Wiggly in Port St. Joe is one of the most expensive grocery stores I have ever been in recently. Pool was nice, but there is not nighttime lighting in the pool or outdoor lighting around the pool. They do not provide any pool towels and if you have a full house plan on doing some laundry, but there will not be any items provided to do that either. Felt like a portion of my vacation was finding out what they house didn't have instead of being able to enjoy my vacation. Definitely won't be back unless something changes.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at The White Whale. We truly value all guest input, as it helps us ensure the best possible experience for everyone. We are sorry to hear that certain aspects of the home did not meet your expectations. We take cleanliness and comfort very seriously, and I have shared your comments about the floors and dishes with our housekeeping team to review and address immediately. Regarding the amenities, I would like to clarify that the property listing, rental agreement, and check-in instructions all specify what is provided in the home. They all state: “This home comes with everything you need! All bed linens and towels, including beach towels, are supplied. Cookware, dishes, and basic kitchen utensils are provided. A few essential items are provided upon arrival, including Dawn dishwashing soap, two dishwasher pods, one trash bag for the kitchen and each bathroom, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one packet of laundry powder, and one fabric softener sheet. Guests are responsible for replenishing these items as needed during their stay. Items such as aluminum foil, storage bags, and other specialty kitchen supplies are not included, as these vary by guest preference.” So, to say you did not know what was provided until you arrived in the home is not accurate. As for the pool and outdoor lighting, we follow the State of Florida Department of Health and Environmental Engineering Lighting Certification requirements. The pool is required to have underwater lighting. If that lighting was not functioning during your stay, I truly wish you had reached out to us — we would have been happy to resolve the issue promptly for you. We provide eight beech towels in this property. If you failed to locate them I wished you had reached out during your stay - we would have been happy to stop by and point out where they are stored. We do appreciate your feedback and will continue to look for ways to enhance our guests’ comfort and experience. Thank you again for staying with Sunshine Vacation Rentals — we hope you enjoyed your time at the beach despite these concerns.
