The property is on a beach that has very little traffic!! The house was as advertised, pretty clean, laid out well and good for pets as long as they don’t mind some steps! The pool had a leak but did not stop us from enjoying it! The appliances all worked but we typically bring our own pans, air fryer and coffee maker. I would recommend this property!

Watersong is incredible! Right on the beach, a nice size pool and the house was great. Never any crowds, it was pure rest and relaxation with the family. The house actually has beach chairs and a few water toys, very well stocked and a gas grill. We cooked every day except for one visit to downtown Port. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

Great location with amazing views

This place is amazing. Great location right on the beach. Pool is just right. I have only great things to say about this property except the upstairs AC. We are very hot natured and the upstairs AC will only go down to 69 which to most is fine. We let my 9 year old son and elderly in-laws stay upstairs. The main level AC was perfect. Can’t wait to go back.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: This was a wonderful vacation experience for the whole family...right on the beach, and with a pool and beach chairs included. No high rises or crowds of people. I would suggest a large grater for the kitchen, another coffee pot as the one there did not keep the coffee warm. Found a few pieces of trash tucked away in the bedside tables. Other than that, it was perfect!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Highly recommend this property. We rented in May/June 2025 as an extended family. The location is great, not overly-populated, other beach-goers were courteous and quiet. We only experienced a few minor maintenance issues, a smoke alarm battery chirp and a few towel holders not installed correctly. Other than that, the house was clean and very nice for us.

In addition, the beaches were not crowed at all despite being a holiday weekend, a real plus! House was very clean, fully equipped and met all our needs. Be Our Guest were very easy to work with. Even greeted us with a bouquet of flowers.

Another awesome year

We love this home. The beach is amazing and we have the perfect amount of beds for our two families. The only issues are with the pool, which we paid to have heated, was not warm enough. We were not made aware at the time of payment that the heating will only make the water 10 degrees warmer than the air - which is a big deal. Also the dresser in the first master smells of mildew which got in our clothes. Otherwise this spot is incredible for families.

Jamie, thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure why the 85 degree water temp was not sufficient for the pool? If you like it hotter, we have homes with hot tubs! We checked the dresser, it smells like a dresser (wood). Given your clothing smelled like mildew, I must conclude it was your clothing was the source of the odor? This is an incredible location for families and groups to gather. Watersong is thoughtfully decorated and generously stocked. Be Our Guest again soon!

BEST PLACE EVER!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was exactly what we had imagined! It had breathtaking views from sunsets and sunrises! We saw dolphins a few times out in the distance! The pool was absolutely needed since the seaweed was bad in the ocean. The house accommodated all of our wants and needs! Only downfall is that you had to drive 10-15 minutes to the closest grocery or liquor store. Also, the fishing wasn’t the best for the fishermen in our group. The hostess was absolutely friendly and a hoot to work with! Would definitely stay in this house again!

It was immaculate—spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we could have possibly needed for a relaxing stay. We especially loved the private pool and the spacious, beautiful porches—perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails with a view.Port St. Joe is such a charming town, full of local flavor and friendly people, and we found so many great restaurants and hidden gems nearby. It was the ideal mix of relaxation and adventure.We can’t recommend Donna and Be Our Guest Vacation Homes enough—we’re already dreaming about our next visit!
