It was a great stay! We found the house to be better than the photos. Awesome location, not too far from restaurants and grocery but pretty secluded feeling. Great beaches.

This was a beautiful house. Easy to get to Port St Jo, St George Island and Apalachicola. The beach was not crowded (however 200 yards is very misleading) The public beach access is a bit of a walk with no beach access near the house. The deck was great for listening to the waves. The accommodations however were less than desirable. No extras that you would expect for the cost. This was no better than staying at a cheap motel. Cheapest toilet paper and only one roll per bathroom. One roll of paper towels and one extra trash bag in the kitchen and the showers weren’t clean. Our sheets didn’t fit the bed and were scratchy and see-through. For the master bath there was only one towel big enough for an adult and the rest of the towels were small and threadbare. No coffee just filters when we checked in and no laundry supplies at all. The feel was not homey.

Lives up to the name!!
Everything about our stay was perfect, the unit is was fantastic. It was very comfortable indoor and out. We weren't even sad when storms kept us indoors one of the days. They are very responsive and we couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Beautiful house with everything we needed. The stairs to the house made unloading and loading with little ones hard. We rented a golf cart to drive on the beach which was great due to walking a little ways to the beach access. The house is in a great location. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful home, loved staying there
3 adult couples. The good and not so good, but a strong 5 Star. New quality home. Wonderful back deck that has a good view of the beach. The master is perfect, king bed, double vanities, high shower, large closet. The kitchen is perfect also, new appliances and the wine cooler really adds to the stay. We put all our drinks in the wine cooler and this gave us plenty of room in the fridge. Very nice gas stove and really good cook ware. 2 BR are nice, but be aware, neither have a closet. The lift is not available to renters due to insurance purposes, didn’t like that. The house looks like a two story, but it is a lot of stairs due to the bottom floor being very high. There is only 1 entrance to the beach and it is probably about 80 yards from the house. You can rent or bring a golf cart or a UTV but if you bring your own, you need to get a beach permit ahead of time. There are a lot of trucks/jeeps and carts on the beach. We were there during the fourth, but it was still not too busy to enjoy. If I were being picky, I would say the kitchen trashcan should be larger and there needs to be a cordless vacuum to keep the floors clean. The only thing we had available was a small broom. Also, the week we were there the water was very sandy and gray, not clear and the sand is not white like some of the beaches. We don’t know if it’s this way all the time or not. The only thing I would do different is bring a cart for the beach

Great location on quiet beach
Just one house back from the beach, you can see and hear the water from your deck. Easy access to the beach and not nearly as crowded as other beach areas. Updated and nice accommodations. Would stay again.

The location is ideal if traveling to Cape San Blas, Port St. Joe, and Apalachicola. It’s a very short walk to the beach. Ample parking onsite.

It was a lovely place and a great vacation!! Loved being able to walk to the beach and see it from the house. Plenty of room for a family of 6. The host was quick to respond and help with any questions and issues. Would totally stay again!!
