Facilities and Location were great. We were able to cook several meals. Sleeping accommodations also great. I think the biggest drawback would be the internet. We did have several young kids that like to watch their tablets at night or even watch tv, but the speeds were way to slow for multiple devices to be running at the same time.

Pros: The sunset views from the deck are amazing!! It’s a very short walk to the beach. The well stocked kitchen-dishes/pots and pans etc Short distance to shopping and restaurants. You can have fires on the beach with nopermit needed. Just make sure to clean up your mess. Liquor store and small bar right across the street. Cons: No privacy. If there are guests staying next door, they are literally on top of you. You can see and hear everything. Terrible, worn out bath towels and not enough of them, including no kitchen hand towels.

wonderful location on beach, nice property, clean....only issue is the towels for shower bathroom use. They were horrible- small, rough, and very few of them. (we knew to bring our own beach towels) we had to go to walmart and buy us some decent cheap towels to use.....As long as you know to bring your own washing towels- you are in for an enjoyable stay.

Stay was too short.

Had a little hiccup with the entry code, but VRBO resolved the issue quickly. Please be aware that the property owner prefers texting as the best way to communicate. Both the property and the beach were beautiful. Everything was super clean and comfortable. Neighbors were very friendly. Wish we had the time to stay longer.

The amount of space of the condo was perfect for our family and there was a bed to spare! The view of the sunrises were amazing to wake up to, and the boardwalk access to the beach was a breeze. The old condos have been updated with new finishes. The 4-star comes from the smell of the condo, likely from moisture, or being old buildings surviving storms.

Needs alot of TLC

The view is amazing and the beach was at your fingertips. The house is in need of repair. Floors are warped and need replacing. There are gaps in the floor. Washer and dryer are very loud. We had a great time just needs a little fixing.

Wonderful Stay

My best friend and I came from CA and absolutely loved our condo there. It was clean, adorably decorated, peaceful, spacious, and had a stunning view. Everything we needed was already stocked. From booking it, to checking in, and leaving, it was all very easy. Thank you! We look forward to returning next year!!

This property was right on the beach and even though it was cold, we had the best view and could hear the ocean waves even with the glass doors closed. It was amazing.

St Joe Beach Perfection!

Well furnished & clean condo! We enjoyed the direct beach access and sitting area under the house. The bunkbed was a hit for the kids! There was a liquor store & bar directly across the street and food trucks & a Dollar General were a walkable distance. We will be back!

We have been to Florida many times but never to Port St. Joe. We loved it! Very laid back and feels like you are there with a bunch of residents instead of tourists. The beach is a short walk and was never crowded. We will be back!

Magnificent

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The most spectacular gulf beach with white sand and clear blue water! We loved the location of our unit, which was well maintained, immaculately clean and professionally decorated in a beachy farmhouse style. We enjoyed the covered porch underneath to stash our beach gear and for early morning and late evening conversation with the wonderful sea breeze. Brittney from New Wave made our check-in, check-out and even staying an extra day seamless. We could not have asked for better customer service! We loved the vibe of this small town and found wonderful local restaurants every evening. These folks are truly resilient.
