In general, everything was fine, the terrace in the back should add some fans, since it gets very hot, everything is fine.

This home was absolutely beautiful, spacious, and located in a quite setting. Fully stocked with everything you might need. A short walk takes you to the pool or beach. We loved the bike trail that led to the State Park. Many access points to beach or bay for your boats, kayaks, etc. The weather did not permit us to take advantage of the kayaks provided by host. This home provides three separate outdoor porches so everyone has a place to escape and relax. Great location to explore Port St. Joe, Cape San Blas, Indian Pass and Appalachicola. Can't wait til we can book Xanadu for our next vacation.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Joyce. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that the sofa and dining room furniture did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide a comfortable and welcoming environment, and it’s clear we fell short in this instance.
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the kitchen and bathroom, but we understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with the air conditioning issue during your stay. We take these matters seriously, and we’re grateful for your understanding as we worked to address it.
Your insights are invaluable as we continue to improve our properties and ensure a consistent experience for all our guests. We hope you’ll consider staying with us again in the future, as we would love the opportunity to provide you with a more comfortable and enjoyable visit.
Property was very clean and supplied everything we needed. We enjoyed the quick beach access and the pool was very refreshing. Would recommend this property to small families and couples.
Peaceful, clean place, and a great location, highly recommend! Will definitely stay again
