Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the easy access to the beach and that the provided chairs and umbrella made your visit more comfortable. It’s great to hear that the shops at St. Johns Pass were also within easy walking distance.

Place is very small but was perfect for the amount of time we spent there. Cottage was steps from a beautiful beach that wasn’t overcrowded. Only negatives I have to say are the walls are very thin. You can hear the neighbors and vice versa. I felt I had to be quiet the whole time I was there so I didn’t disrupt the other tenants. Also, no beach towels and the beach chairs etc that were there were old and broken.

Great location! Perfect for the two of us. Not a complaint but a suggestion. Needs to be a place to hang wet towels after shower. And maybe a place to hang beach towels in the porch.

We really enjoyed our stay at Rock Lobster Unit The place was clean and had everything we needed. Our only suggestion is that unit 1 replace the folding couch; which is used as a bed; with a regular bed like in unit 2. All and all it was a great place

Beach Retreat

The location of this cozy cottage is awesome. You are literally five steps to the boardwalk and then at the beach. It’s very close to Johns Pass and many restaurants and bars. It had all the necessities for our nine day stay. There were not any beach chairs or umbrellas, but we were able to rent some for the week.

Beautiful weekend

My husband and I rented this unit out for 4th of July weekend. Beautiful comfortable clean unit right on the beach. Everything we needed was there very convenient. We could not have asked for a better place to rent and enjoy our fourth of July together and see all the fireworks on the beach. We will definitely be back many times in our future.

A Jimmy Buffet weekend

We concentrated on being pure beach bums. Not much else mattered. The location was perfect for that. Never spent much time indoors. We didn't have a car but easily walked or took the free beach rode to wherever we needed to. Thank you! Was perfect for us!

Perfect Private Beach Escape and Excellent Property Management Staff

First I want to send a huge Thank You and Kudos to Donna and Cheri! You guys rock! Rock Lobster is a quaint little house right off Sunshine Beach which is super quiet. A quick walk down the public access beach boardwalk which is right outside the door and you are on the beach. You feel like it's your own little slice of paradise. Unit #1 was very clean and any needs were attended to promptly. The property has ample parking for multiple cars at both units. We had a wonderful week and would definitely rebook and recommend booking to anyone wanting a private / quiet place to stay.
