10/10 Excellent
"As our grandson proclaimed this week 'This is my favorite Hotel'. We had a wonderful stay. We love the redesign of the lobby, restaurant, and bar. We ate at Plank's on Friday for lunch, Friday for dinner, and Sunday for brunch. We were able to eat outside for 2 of the meals. Our grandsons loved sitting out eating with the heaters on. The turning basin is beautiful, we enjoyed watching folks fishing out in the basin. We had a golf side room which faces Hole 5. We read about the hole in the book in our room and were fascinated watching folks tee off and play. We usually take a golf view because that is the side the train is on!!! Needless to say our 4 yo grandson loves to hear the train whistle as it approaches and runs out to watch it go by. Everyone is always so accommodating and helpful. The stay here is well worth the cost. It is our happy place in St. Joe area."

10/10 Excellent
"We have rented several homes via VRBO and this was by far the best home we have stayed in. John was very quick to respond to all communications, the home was beautiful and extremely clean. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was stocked better than our own kitchen. Everything you need is here. Check in and check out were simple. The walk to the lake front was within good measure however there are several stairs to go down to reach the beach. Going down wasn't bad but climbing them was difficult for my husband and I (as we both have heart issues). The view from the beach is breathtaking and you should definitely check it out just know it is a steep climb coming back up. Overall we give this home and experience an 11/10 and cannot wait to return."

"The owners were great! Responded quickly and were very friendly and helpful. House was decent. In a great neighborhood and in a good area if you want to go to the lake. The only drawback was the cleanliness. A few miscellaneous stains on the sheets and on the towels. Other than that, it’s a great place."
