Apr 22, 2025 #### Easter vacation Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: Cottage was perfect, exactly as pictured. Pool was amazing for our kids, still a little cool for me but the lounge chairs were great. Only inconvenience for us was no pack n play, I had just assumed since it was family friendly there would be a pack and play. Renting one from agencies in town was very pricey. But overall stay was amazing! ##### tori c. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Noah F. Jun 28, 2025 #### Slay the Bay! 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: Can’t say enough about this place. Location is great!! It’s close enough to everything but the location is quiet!!! Place was super clean and plenty of room for our family. Had everything you would need for a great stay! I know you go to Florida for the ocean but sometimes you can’t get enough of the water so after a long day at the beach and after you go out and eat you might want to come back and just hang out in the pool. We will be back for sure! We found out about port st joe and the forgotten coast about 4-5 years ago and have been staying ever since. ##### Noah F. ### 8/10 Good #### Donald P.
