Amazing Stay!

Property was clean and full of fun stuff to do if it's raining (game room in the garage, board games in the den). Attached fenced-in dog area was an amazing touch. Owners BEYOND nice and in constant contact. Perfect location right by downtown. 10/10 can't recommend enough for you and your family, especially if you need a place that's friendly for dogs.

Fantastic

Port St Joe and our accommodations Blissful by the Sea was named properly! We absolutely loved this home and everything it has to offer. Sitting on the master bedroom deck drinking my morning coffee was something i could surely get used to on a daily basis. We lacked nothing and will definitely return! The location is perfect as well!

Blissful weekend!

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a blissful weekend getaway with our pups and it everything we’d hoped for! Port St. Joe is such a great place and we were right in the heart of it all. Favorite memory is sitting on the front balcony enjoying a cup of coffee and watching the morning break. Thank you Mickey and Rita for such a restful time. Cinde, Cheryl, Lyla and Kai

Just perfect

We went down to Port St Joe over Christmas break and stayed at Blissful by the Bay. It was a trip with our pup and the unit was perfect for him. Rita has everything set up for dogs including treats, leashes, bags and toys. There is a fenced in area off the back that is very useful. The unit has everything that you need and is very comfortable. The location to town and beaches is great. Hope to go back soon and will definitely want to stay here again.

We had a wonderful trip. The owners are great people, the house is newly done and extremely nice, and it’s in a really pretty area super convenient to everything. The only thing I can even think to critique is the living room furniture… it’s not comfortable at all. Wicker, about as comfortable as patio furniture. But that’s really the ONLY negative about this place.

Paradise at The Port

We had a great time !! The condo is located in a quiet neighborhood but is very close to great restaurants. Just a two minute walk to a park that overlooks the ocean and St Joe bay. Condo is fashionably decorated with everything that you need. Rita and Micky are great hosts - they checked on us on arrival and during our stay to make sure that everything was good. We have stayed at several VRBO locations and this place is among the best in accommodations and location.

Blessful By the Bay was Beautiful

From the beginning of booking our stay, the host Rita reached out and was very helpful and accommodating. We were greeted with snacks for us but also for our little fur love. He immediately went to the basket and got a toy to play with. The house was very clean, beds were comfortable and plenty of amenities for our family. Location is convenient to several beaches and a short walk or a half a mile drive to restaurants and shops. Can not wait to come back and visit!

Homey Getaway

I stayed here with my 3 adult children at Christmas time. The triplex was beyond my expectations. It was clean, spacious, beautifully-decorated, and well-stocked with everything we needed. There were games, books, beach chairs, and bicycles. I didn’t bring my dog, but there was a dog run as well. The location was close to a bayside park, the Cape San Blas Lighthouse, downtown Port St. Joe (lots of restaurants and boutiques), and a grocery store. Mexico Beach, Cape San Blas, and Apalachicola were just a short drive away. The host and hostess were friendly and tried to be sure we had everything we needed. I would love to return here for a warm weather vacation.

Port St Joe

First time my family has even been to this area - Port St Joe and Cape San Blas. We loved it --- made trip to the beach different - not just stay in Beach Condo and go back and forth. We really enjoyed the Port St Joe town and looking around, even as far as Apalachicola. My daughter loved taking her 2 black labs to the Bay water. We liked Salinas Park/Beach also. The VRBO was very nice and exactly the right size for us. It had everything we needed, almost like you lived down there. We did contact the owner to get some help with the TV -- no longer just cable days. And that worked out well for us to catch the College football game we wanted to watch. I am sure my wife and daughter could add much more -- St Joe Poe and Wendmire beaches also.

Paradise in Paradise!

Rita and Micky are superb hosts! From the moment we arrived we felt at home. They even left a welcoming snack basket with a sweet card. Their place was decorated impeccably and had all the things necessary to make our stay amazing! I cooked meals and the kitchen was stocked perfectly! My husband and son enjoyed the bicycles as the pier was very near and it made for a nice ride. They had all the things needed to make a day at the beach more enjoyable from a wagon, to umbrellas, chairs, towels and even an insulated tote to pack snack, and cool aloe in the fridge if you got too much sun! They have thought of everything! Our favorite area of the house was the balcony and the dogs especially loved being able to enjoy the space with us. The house is located minutes from town, about 10 minutes to St Joe beach, and about 20 minutes to Cape San Blas. It’s perfectly located for a relaxing beach getaway! Even the neighborhood was peaceful and welcoming. I highly recommend staying at this property. You will not regret the choice. We cannot wait to plan our next stay!
