The property was exactly how listed. It was nicely decorated, stocked, clean, and provided easy access to both the cape and town. The bonus for us were the mattresses. So comfy! I would highly recommend.

House was real nice and roomy.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was close enough to to some nice beaches. Only thing that kinda stun was WiFi but being where it’s located it can’t be helped. Karisa was amazing to deal with.

super dog friendly

Was not expecting the amenities for dogs...including a crate and bowls (just in case we forgot)! We could even take our fur baby to the beach on a leash! Great location for finding good food in Port St. Joe, and great beach withing a few miles! Would highly recommend for pet owners!

We loved our stay! The location is perfect. You have close access to Port St. Joe, the Cape, and Apalachicola. It easily housed two center console boats plus an extra car. The home was very clean, spacious, and provided all amenities needed. Though we brought our own, there was a dog kennel provided which I really liked. The views on the back and front porch were great! You can watch the sun rise and set each day. The yard had zero ants so no worries for your feet or fur babies.

Perfect!

Karisa is an excellent host--from reaching out to let us know we could check in early, to providing a clean, comfortable place (complete with large screened porches) to come home to in the evenings We have made several trips from north Alabama to Port St. Joe recently due to family business, and this property is by far the most inviting, clean, and comfortable place we have found. We highly recommend this charming cottage which is near to downtown Port St. Joe as well as a short drive to the beach at Cape San Blas.

Feels very homey

We were really pleased with everything! The owners have everything there that you need, including beach towels to use! It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable! The owner was very easy to communicate with and even gave us suggestions. One of things we enjoyed was that is wasn’t in the busy area, other than being on the highway which made for a little noise. That is a tiny thing compared to how nice it was! I would recommend this place to anyone!

Highly recommend!!

We stay in a VRBO every year for scalloping season. The house has a super nice open kitchen and living room. The host is the best I've ever had at maintaining communication and making sure you're questions are answered promptly. Only problems we encountered were that most of the blinds didn't work which didn't bother us. Definitely a good place to stay if you're looking for a good vacation in or around Port St Joe!

Comfortable stay

Bethal was clean and tidy. Very comfortable but a bit noisy as house is very close to highway. We used both front and back screened in porchs. Could have used a more generous supply of towels. We were washing and drying supplied towels every other evening.
