Excellent Vacation! Shimmering Tides was the best place to spend our vacation this summer. Rachell was so easy to work with and she provided the best care! We felt genuinely cared for by her. The home is in a perfect location, clean, up to date and just perfect for our stay. We didn't want to leave!

Beach Haven
We got to the house around 6pm, and we could not get over how beautiful the evening sun shines through the whole house. Everything was clean and set up for our family. It was so nice not to stress about bringing extra bulky items, like the beach umbrella, chairs, bikes, paddle boards. The house was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay inside, or for a hot day out on the beach. We loved the boardwalk access right by the driveway, and the golf cart ride to the pool was always a hit. A lot of the local shops/stores are closed Mondays and Tuesdays, and we found they closed on a whim so there were a few failed attempts at some ice cream. lol. The house was beautifully decorated, very up to date beach vibes. We were in contact with Rachell before we arrived, to a little bit after we left, she wanted to be sure we had everything we needed. We’ve already talked about a next time, and how we would want to make our trip a little longer! The house was everything we needed for a vacation, and the host was most generous!

Exceeded our expectations
We absolutely loved shimmering tide! We had never been to the port st joe area and didn’t know what to expect. But we were so pleased! The area is perfect and not crowded, plenty of places to eat and just enough to do! Shimmering tide was stocked better than any vacation home we have ever been to, it was clean as a whistle, comfortable and so homey! The extra amenities like the golf cart, bikes, beach gear and paddle boards was the icing on the cake! Rachell was so quick and easy to communicate with and very personable too! The house is in a corner lot with a lovely fenced in back sandy area with a fire pit, it’s about a 3-5 minute golf cart ride to the beach or pool/shops and an 8 minute car ride into downtown port st joe! We love this home! Rachell, thank you for having us!

Fully equipped, beautiful property
No detail is missing in this property. We were able to enjoy beach days without packing all the gear we normally do. Whether walking down the boardwalk to taking the golf cart to the beach everything you need has been provided for you. The paddleboards were a fun bonus that we very much enjoyed right off the beach with the calm bay waters. The home is fully equipped inside with plenty of linens, towels, dishes, starter toiletetries, cleaning supplies etc. Rachell even left a goodie basket of snacks to welcome us to her home! The Windmark community is lovely with tons of walking paths, beautiful landscaping, and a large pool area. We visited in late November with weather in the 60s- 70s and the pool water was very warm and comfortable to swim even on cooler days. Port St Joe is also a great little town with plenty of good restaurants and amenities nearby. Wonderful Thanksgiving getaway!

July 4th Family vacation
My family and I had a wonderful experience here. The pictures don’t do the house justice. It is a beautiful home that is in pristine condition. The house had all of the amenities we could have asked for (pots, pans, dishes, etc). You can tell all the amenities were well thought-out to provide us with everything we could possibly need. The owner communicated with us long before our arrival and throughout our stay. We used the outdoor shower everyday for the kids. The golf cart was a lifesaver. The beach chairs provided were awesome and convenient. The beds were very comfortable. We couldn’t ask for a better vacation. I would 100% recommend this rental.

Beach Home Away from Home!
This is our second year staying in this wonderful home. It has all the amenities we could ever need and then some. The beds are comfy, the AC is cold, the towels are fresh and fluffy, and the house is perfectly clean! As a bonus the golf cart and paddleboards are a hit with the kids. There wasn't anything we needed that we didn't have, but just in case, the owner messaged to check in on us frequently. We love her and her home and will definitely be back next year!

From the moment we stepped in the house we just knew it was going to be a great stay! The cleanliness of the house hits you right when you open the door. The communication with the host was great and any question we had was answered within a short amount of time. The golf cart was probably the best thing to have, even though the house was not that far from the beach it was a great thing to have on hand! Hope to be back to this place again and would definitely recommend
