Lovely Bungalow on the Beach

Loved staying at Joyful Bungalow! Location was perfect and sunsets were unmatched. Well equipped kitchen and updated appliances. Loved the covered outdoor areas for shade and easy access to the beach. We will be back!

A 'Stand-Out' property

Needed a getaway from Michigan's winter. Property had to be 'gulf shoreline', close to provisions and eateries, easy gulf access, well appointed. The 'Joyful Bungalow' met all of those needs.Rounding the bend on the cape, our selection was easily identified...color scheme is unique.A very pleasant stay.

Hurricane bump

Overall we enjoyed our stay. A few minor issues but overall the location and Joyful Bungalow was a great place to stay. The staff worked with us fully when we had to pack up and leave because of the hurricane evacuation and was able to return a day later. Prepare for flies outside and it will be better.
