Great getaway

Perfect for our small family, plenty of space for a family of 3-6. Unfortunately the washer was out of balance during our stay.Quiet beach with plenty of privacy. Would love to stay here again.

Awesome Beach House

We had a great time at the beach the week after Christmas! Plenty of room for our group of four adults and two dogs. Not sure who liked the beach more…We had not stayed on that part of 30A before and will definitely stay again as the beach is beautiful and very pet friendly…and 5 minutes from The Raw Bar! The house is great and very well stocked! Don’t let the pictures of an “older” house discourage you from renting this one.

Enjoyed it

We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. The master bath isn't private to the master bedroom - the door to the master bath is just outside the door to the master bedroom, so bring a robe.

Your own private beach!

This house worked perfect for our family of 5. We stayed a week and everyday was like stepping out on our own private beach. Beach access was easy.. with a private boardwalk straight out from the house to the beach. It made hauling all the beach gear a very simple walk. House was well stocked with cooking utensils, A/C worked great as did all appliances. Our family would definitely stay at this home again and should we ever decide to bring along more family or friends the house right next door is exactly the same and owned by the same owners/property management.

Beachfront paradise

Right ono the beach! Quiet, secluded with private boardwalk to an almost private beach. Old school charm with fully stocked (looks like new) kitchen. Comfy , new looking, furniture. Midway between Port St Joe and Appalachicola if you want to eat out or go grocery shopping. Our fav!

Note below is for the owner of this home:

Our Stay There were a couple of issues with our stay I would like to share. 1 When we first arrived we had trouble entering. 1st, it’s a 9 digit code, too long in my opinion. But on top of that the instructions were for a Yale lock, this home has a Schlage lock. We struggled with that (thought about calling for a key) and finally went thru the VRBO/Vacasa app for confirmation on how to operate it. Shouldn’t have to jump thru hoops just to enter. 2. Then there was the refrigerator delivery. We get a text stating, literally, FYI, a fridge will be delivered on 2/20. To the driveway? Into the home? Rob called and talked to a Vacasa rep about this and yes, in fact the fridge would be switched out. A rep would meet the delivery and we could be there or not. This in itself is intrusive. Do we schedule the 4 hour window to be here and move our own food? Do we put it in coolers? The appx $1600 in Vacasa fees are paid for these exact things not to happen. It got a little worse. On Tuesday I got two missed calls and a text regarding this fridge. This is the text: Fridge guy is 15 away. I’m more than 15 minutes away. Is the door open. I’m on Mexico Beach. He was supposed to call 30 mins before I am not a coworker of this person. There was a 4 hour window, 12-4, and a Vacasa rep should have been here waiting in the driveway for the delivery, period. No one from Vacasa ever showed. We were on the beach, Rob happened to go up to the house and saw a delivery truck. He let them in, h

We loved it!

The home is in a great location, right on the beach. The bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen and bathrooms were spotlessly clean when we arrived. We have stayed next door at As Pelicans Pass, and this home has the same layout although slightly smaller. We liked the outdoor shower, for washing off after being on the beach. One thing about this house is that you have to go outside and down the stairs to access the washer and dryer. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have already made reservations for next year!

The waves of St Joe's

This was an absolute marvelous stay, having access right out to the beach could not have been better. The house was great and served us well, but is well worn and could use some basic feature updates. We would stay again but I'd try to negotiate a better rate.

Delightful

Well appointed, comfortable and pet friendly. The beds were perfect for us. We enjoyed the one floor, only stairs are to the front door. Laundry room down stairs where car is parked, no access from inside the house, but that is ok. Shower outside and boardwalk to the beach was just a very short walk. Will stay again.
