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.
The property was very well stocked and very clean. The fact that it was pet friendly and they provided a crate was awesome. Communication with the host was top notch. I would definitely stay here again and recommend the home to others.

Thank you!! Yall were perfect guests! Always welcome!
We loved this house so much! Plenty of room for a family with kids. We loved the big porches and the view of the bay. Great location, clean, fully stocked with everything you will need.
Great sunsets from the porch and short drive to beach. Plenty of room and good supply of items needed for cooking. Good communications I would recommend.
We enjoyed our stay here. Close to beach,town, restaurants, shopping. Apalachicola another nice town is only 30 minutes away, Panama City about 50 minutes. House very clean. Has everything you need. Host is so nice!

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed your stay & hope you come back soon! You are always welcomed!
The owners really consider everything you should need with this property. It was clean, stocked, and easy to relax. Just a short drive to the Cape. The location is very convenient. The house was well decorated and beautiful
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.

Thank you Tim! Since your stay we have upgraded our wifi & haven't had any issues! we hope you will visit again in the future!
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!

Thanks so much for your kind review! We hope you visit again soon!
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.
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.

Thank you so much Glenda! You & your family are always welcome back!
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!

Thank you Angela! We're glad you enjoyed your time here! You're welcomed back any time!
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!

Thank you so much Chris! The blinds will be fixed asap! Thanks for being such great guests! You are always welcome back!
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.
