Relaxing and Carefree

This was our first time bringing our dog with us to the beach and the house was perfect! The private boardwalk was amazing and made it super easy to get to the beach. There was a very nice multi head shower at the bottom of the deck stairs that made getting sand of us and our dog very easy. The railed in deck was awesome to relax on and let our dog off leash but still contained. A very clean and great place to stay!

Great place for families in PSJ!

Diane’s home was fantastic and just what our family was looking for during our Spring Break stay in Port St. Joe. The home was very clean and well appointed. We brought a bunch of extras (soap, tp, paper towels, etc) as we normally do when renting a place, but never had to dive into our stash. The kitchen was really well stocked - a Viking range, air fryer, and microwave. The drink fridge was a great added bonus too. Plenty of dishes, pots, pans, etc. The size of the home was perfect for our family and the proximity to the VERY quiet beach can’t be beat (my unscientific measurement was 85 steps from back porch to toes in the sand). The back porch is spacious and perfect for morning coffee, meals, and enjoying the beautiful sunsets. Diane was a great host and very responsive and left great instructions. Check-in and check-out were a breeze! Being able to walk to Shipwreck Raw Bar was a great bonus too.We hope to be able to find time to make it back to PSJ and Diane’s place again.

Wonderful Stay

The house was all one level, well stocked, clean, and had very comfortable mattresses. There were no homes on either side for the utmost privacy. The deck overlooking the ocean was wonderful. The deck is well built and very safe for our toddler and our small dog. We experienced the most beautiful sunsets on the deck. We saw dolphins several days and a bald eagle on the beach one morning. The private boardwalk to the beach was very convenient and well kept. Check in and check out was easy. Diane was a great host. We hope to stay here again.

Perfect Getaway!

We could not have had a better time in Port St Joe. From the communications with Diane to the wonderful accomodations, it was everything we were hoping. The location of the property was perfect, and the peacefulness of the beach was amazing. It's as if we had it all to ourselves!! We spent most of our time relaxing on the amazing back deck, enjoying the sites and sounds of the ocean, the pups loved it! The house was stocked nicely, making it feel like home away from home. And, Diane was just wonderful to work with. We can't wait to go back!!!!

The Perfect Location

Our group of 4 loved this vacation rental home for our annual girls’ trip. This was our first time in this area and it will not be our last! The house was perfect! It was very clean and very well stocked. The view from the huge, new deck was amazing! That’s where we spent most of our time. The house was in the perfect location with just a short drive to restaurants, shopping, exploring, etc. We would highly recommend this rental property! You will not be disappointed. We can’t wait to visit again!

Great sleepy area!

We really enjoyed our stay, beach had hardly anyone else there, everyone we met was very friendly. Some trouble with cleaning in between our stay and the stay before us was quickly remedied by Diane. Back porch is really a great addition and was perfect for us to hang out on while the kids napped. It is gated and our dog loved sitting out there as much as possible.

Beyond expectations

This house was everything the owner stated in the description. We were more than comfortable in the living area. The kitchen was very well stocked. Plenty of towels for our stay. The beds were very comfortable after spending the day playing on the beach We enjoyed many quiet nights on the large deck overlooking the gulf. The wooden walkway to the beach from the house made for easy access. If you are looking for a quiet beach with beautiful sunsets then this beautiful spacious house is the place for you

So good I want to keep it a secret

This place is absolutely a hidden gem. The location is top notch. You won’t find a better one. The inside has been refreshed and updated. The back patio is where we spent most of our time. Diane is an amazing host with quick response and clear instructions for check in. We love this place so much that we want to keep it a secret but it’s too good not to share. We will be back.

Simply wonderful

This is a nice home in a perfect location directly on St. Joe Beach. It is located on a beautiful and not overcrowded section of beach with the cape in view. The new deck was a great place to watch the waves and the beautiful sunsets. The updated home was clean and comfortable for our family of six and had all the amenities necessary to prepare meals and hang in when the weather wasn't so beach friendly. Port St Joe is only a few minutes drive away for some shopping and excellent restaurants. Shipwreck Raw Bar is only a few minutes walk up the street and we enjoyed several excellent meals on our visit. There is also a well stocked Dollar General very close for essentials. Check in was effortless with communication from the owner. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and can't wait to come back next year. A truly wonderful experience!!

Perfect escape from demands of daily life!

This is the perfect spot to getaway and relax! The beach is not crowded, your nearest neighbor is a block away and the new deck is 10/10! If you’re looking for touristy things to do, this isn’t it. The beach and ocean are very much natural (ie there is seaweed), the locals fishing everyday are incredibly friendly, and there are no high rises or water/theme parks. Shipwreck Raw Bar across the street is good and it’s a 10min drive to Port St Joe, where there are several cute, local restaurants and shops (and a Piggly Wiggly). The house had everything we needed and Diane was great to work with. The area is still recovering from Hurricane Michael, but shouldn’t deter you from coming!

Great House, Quiet Beach getaway

This house had comfortable beds, a great stocked kitchen. The huge deck and boardwalk and beach are the best part. The houses on either side are far away. There are sunsets over the water because the shape of how coast juts out. The beach wasn't ever crowded. There were people fishing around sunrise and sunset that I saw catching fish. It's a 10 min drive to Port St. Joe restautrants & shops. The beach has shallow water(up to 4ft) for over 100 ft out, then drops to about 10 to12 ft deep max., for 50ft, then a wide 3-4 ft. sandbar. No huge waves, calm waters most of the time. We had rental kayaks delivered to the house and crossed the the 1.8 mile end of the bay(45 min's 1 way) to the deserted beaches on the tip of the peninsula of the State Park that you can't get to by car. We and explored there and saw many fish, a couple rays, and many blue crab while snorkeling and collecting shells. They call it 'Old Florida', a quieter area without the tourist traps. I'd recommend this house to anyone. We had a great time.

Great Location

If you are looking for a place with a great view of the gulf this is it. The house is located on the gulf side of 98 and the view from the deck is beautiful. Diane is great about answering your questions in a timely matter. The house needs some TLC but is a great layout inside. Both bedrooms have a view of the gulf. Our four legged children had a blast and there is a great place to wash their sandy paws. One thing, the public beach access path is right by the house and you will have people walking by you from the neighborhood. The group that came from the neighborhood while we were there set up right at the end of the path so right in from of the view from the deck and one of the people relieved himself in the dunes in plain view of my wife on the deck. They might have been locals but no class either way. So far there is no washer and dryer which is not bad for a short trip but would be an issue for a two week stay. Not sure how crowded the beach would be in the summer with the path so close but it was pretty deserted for us with the exception of the one day. We will be back for sure .

Beware: Chronic Deferred Maintenance on this Property!

This home is located on a great piece of beachfront property, but has chronic “deferred maintenance” issues. Many items were broken and nonworking. Ocean-front windows need replacing—they are clouded, totally obstructing the beautiful ocean view. Outdoor fencing is rickety/broken and unsafe. Debris and clutter all over yard, & under house. Washer/dryer (as promised by owner prior to rental) was installed more than 1/2 way through our stay, with much ado (first washer delivered was defective.). Shower curtain & rod fell down DURING a shower! and door knobs fell off. There are no knobs or handles on any of the kitchen cabinets, making them difficult to open. We had to purchase a ladle and a pair of tongs—the kitchen could use some mixing bowls and an inventory of kitchen tools supplied (or lack thereof!) There wasn’t a blanket to be found in this 3 bedroom house (& the temperatures dipped into the 20s during our stay!). Owner’s handyman/electrician was sent to do repairs, and replace the outside light bulbs on the deck (still no light underneath house!). Deck is very unsafe/unstable and outside furniture was unclean and is in poor condition. The rate is overpriced for January (comparables), and owner has since reduced the nightly rate! I believe the owner should refund our stay—or, at a minimum, a good portion of it. Her property is NOT what she holds it out to be. (We DO have many pictures to support all of the above!). The 6 days/5 nights were VERY stressful due to the conditions of the property, as well as the owner’s poor communication skills. She complained before we ever rented that we had “contacted her too many times,” and we were chided for it. We were trying to find a place “at the spur of the moment,” as I had travelled here from Minnesota to visit my friend. In response to one of our communications to her during our stay, she wrote and told us that she was sure it didn’t matter what she did at that point, she was sure we would leave a poor review for her; and, that she would give us until noon the next day to GET OUT and that we needed to find A CHEAPER place to rent!! My friend, who has been very ill, couldn’t sleep that night for fear she was going to EVICT us. She says she has NOT, but, we know she HAS had complaints, all of which, obviously, fell on deaf ears. She needs to bring this place up to the caliber she holds it out to be, if she plans to continue to rent it out. VERY STRESSFUL & DISAPPOINTING.

Great Trip

We had a great time! The fact the home is right on the beach makes it special. The home had all we needed for the two weeks. We enjoy cooking and the kitchen is very well stocked with pots and pans, etc. Very clean!! All communication with property manager was easy and timely . The pictures don’t do the deck justice!! It is amazing. We look forward to our next stay!
