Having your front yard as the ocean... doesn't get any better than that! The dome home is a bit deceptive... its much bigger on the inside then I expected. The house was clean. We had plenty of towels. Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the front room setup. Would have loved to have had an outdoor table and chairs. The deck below with a shower, a place to rinse your feet, and dump your beach stuff was awesome! The kitchen could use some simple restocking ie: pizza cutter, ice cream scooper, more utensils, etc. I would 100% stay at the dome home again. ##### Carl L.

Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness Bed bugs! Luckily it was only in one bedroom and the property manager was extremely responsive. We were given two choices: 1. Leave (with no where to go) or 2. Stay out of the house for most of the day while the room was treated. Since we had just driven 12 hours to get there and we had only been there 24 hours and had planned to be there a week we really didn’t want to leave the cape.(They were offering a full refund if we chose this option. We looked around and everything was booked, there was no where to stay…additionally we were not allowed to stay in any other VRBO property because we were “exposed.” We wound up choosing option 2. We rented a boat for the day and stayed out while the room was treated. Despite it being treated we never used that room the remainder of the trip, two of the kids (fully grown teenagers) lost their room and had to sleep on the couch the rest of the trip (not the worst thing but we were expecting everyone to have their own bed. We did get a partial refund and like I said the property manager was very responsive and kind. We love the cape and still had an amazing time. Would I stay at this house again? No. The pictures of the beach in front of the house are deceiving. I’m not sure when those where taken but there isn’t a lot of beach left in front of the home, and the strip of beach that is there isn’t usable, unless you don’t want to get in the water. There are multiple fallen trees that make it impossible to safely get in the water. ##### Joy H. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Theresa B.

We usually spend my birthday week in Port St Joe, which we love. However this year he surprised me with the booking of the "Dome Home". Let me say that this location is absolutely amazing. The inside is huge and the woodwork is beautiful. We loved the beachfront view along with the private location, due to an empty rental on one side and an empty lot on the other side. We can't wait to come back next year !! ##### Renee O. Stayed 6 nights in May 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### JUSTIN C. Jun 11, 2024 #### The dome home The location of this home and proximity to the beach is a major selling point, the home was clean and well appointed for our stay with just 2 of us being there. Being February we didn't need to use the outdoor shower for any reason, but it was there and appeared to be in working condition. A couple of the cons we noticed were, the grout in the tile floor throughout the main area of the house needs some attention, there was one bed we were told about prior to our stay being damaged and the wardrobe in one bedroom has the door hinges broken. Lastly the plastic deck chairs were mostly broken, which only being 2 of us in our stay didn't affect our enjoyment of the deck but had there been more people in the party we would have been out of deck seating after about 4. Would definitely book the home again in the future as it was a nice place, quiet location, and much more roomy than it appears in the pictures and seeing it from the road. ##### JUSTIN C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Bryn B. Oct 5, 2022 #### Unique House ON the beach We loved our stay at the Dome Home! It was probably 25 steps to the ocean. There was no one in the house next door and an empty lot on the other side so it was almost like having a private beach. We loved the outdoor shower with hot and cold water. It made showering the 5 kids after a day at the beach much easier and helped keep sand out of the house. The only complaints we had were the bathrooms could really use some updates (especially the toilets), there weren’t quite as many kitchen utensils/pots/pans as we would have liked, and there is a need for more places to hang swimsuits/towels in the outdoor shower area and in the bathrooms. Overall we loved our stay there and would definitely go again. The kids called it a spaceship and loved the spiral stair case to their upstairs bedrooms. ##### Bryn B.

Jul 11, 2023 #### Wonderful Family Vacation We really enjoyed our family vacation in the Dome House. The house is unusual looking and very cool. It feels much bigger on the inside than it appears from the outside and was plenty of room for our family of 10. The kitchen and living area were big enough for us to all be together and the locations of the bedrooms provided plenty of privacy. We found everything we needed in the kitchen. The house was clean when we arrived. The beach is beautiful with lots of shells. It was never crowded and there was a lot of turtle activity with new next being marked almost every morning. Apparently,an issue with the washing machine had been reported prior to our arrival. A repair man came one morning, and it was replaced the next day. We had a minor issue with the keypad door, which was resolved, but I would suggest shorter codes. ##### Paula C. ### 4/10 Poor #### Travis H. Nov 15, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Amazing views but a falling apart house Starting off with the good. 1. Amazing views right on the beach with a private boardwalk and close to stores to pick up things 2. They provide no toiletries 3. No dish washer detergent 4. We didn’t get any extra towels or blankets 5. Every single bed had sand in them. 6. The washer was trashed and had a repair guy to come out to confirm that it needed be replaced. 7. We had roaches 8. This place needs some serious repairs and is out outdated. The pillars look like they are on their last legs. 9. the grill only works on one side and looks like it has never been cleaned 10. The place didn’t even have a broom to sweep up the sand that will be tracked into the house. If it went for the view and location I would have requested another place. I seriously doubt that the cleaner changed the bedding. We really wanted to like it but I would skip this one. ##### Travis H. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lindsay W. Jun 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Fun place directly on the beach Pros: This was a fun and unique rental. Our family had a great time on the beach. It was especially convenient and enjoyable to be located directly on the water. It was also nice to have an outdoor rinse station and shower halfway up the stairs to the home to hose the kids off. The outdoor wraparound deck is beautiful. We had to call customer service one time and they were very responsive and solved our issue right away. The beach itself is first-rate, and near to St. Joseph State Park and the lighthouse, and also to Apalachicola for shopping and good food. Cons: Due to the increasing erosion, there is much less beach than pictured (the water is much closer to the home.). The home itself is in need of many repairs and updating, especially for the price per night. There are loose tiles, non- or barely working doorknobs, very old kitchenware, super dull knives, broken drawers, dated and barely functional lighting, the outdoor sink is not hooked up or usable, and although there are beach and water toys available, most are broken. Summary: overall it's a great place to stay, but bring your own kitchen stuff and outdoor toys. ##### Lindsay W. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amy A.

The mattresses could use updates. House does not have large windows, so it tended to be dark. The main overhead ceiling fan or light in great room did not turn on at all. I called the property manager who said a maintenance man would be sent to come look at it. No one ever showed up. We had checked the breaker etc to try to troubleshoot it before calling. One bar stool was broken and a towel rack broke when just removing a towel in the normal way. The most disturbing thing was an electrical box without a cover out on the deck. With a 3 year old who naturally wants to touch everything, this was a great concern. I didn’t call property management about it because as I mentioned before no one responded to my first call. ##### Amy A.

Dec 7, 2023 #### Great Location, Novelty I will start by saying if you have ever come to the Cape you know of the Dome Home. It has been on our list to stay there at least one time. Overall we would stay here again if the maintenance company made some repairs because the location is great. Unfortunately Vacasa was not responsive at all when we reached out about issues. Pros: - Great location! Right on the beach and very close to the rocks/stump hole. Not far to the two markets to buy food/things you forgot and to grab your donuts. - Bigger than you think from the outside and from the pictures. The two downstairs bedrooms each have their own bathroom. One has a pull out couch as well. - Outdoor shower and place to rinse off your feet. - Appliances were new and there is a fair amount of kitchen cookware. - Internet speeds and stability were great. I have never been able to work from the Cape if needed and we had more than enough speed to do so this time. Cons: - 4 lights didn’t work while we were there. Called maintenance twice and still have not received a response. We would have replaced ourselves but couldn’t find the appropriate bulbs and some of the lights were not easy to get off the wall to change it. - Floor tiles are coming up everywhere. Beware if you have small kids because the grout is chipping out and we had a small one that kept picking up the pieces. - Bathrooms all function but have a lot of issues: no toilet paper holders; sink knobs broken, bathtub jets broken, doors stick shut, etc. - Dining table finish is so sticky that you can’t put a paper plate down without it sticking to the table. We tried to play cards and couldn’t pick them up off the table. - Fridge is not connected to water so no filtered water and no ice. Make sure to bring bottled water to drink! - Upstairs rooms are better suited for children. Due to the dome shape it’s difficult to stand in those rooms near the beds so watch your head! Plus the bedrooms share a bathroom that is also difficult due to the dome shape. - Hurricane door on the back of the house is old and rusted and clanks all night long because it no longer locks in place. - No where to go in and out that is not soft sand so be prepared to clean your shoes a lot. - Fish cleaning sink does not work at all. - Septic tank was leaking so it smelled awful while sitting on the beach. Luckily we couldn’t smell it inside. - Outlets are too far from the couch and lamps so extension cords have to be used across the walkways. It made it very hazardous for children/older folks. ##### Kendee V. ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 9, 2025 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ron G.
