The best vacation ever

Let me first say that this property was the absolute PERFECT place for us to stay. My parents and their dog, my sister, her husband niece and nephew, and my husband and kids all had the best time. Bikes for the whole family, things to play with for everyone… list could go on and on. My mom hasn’t ridden a bike in years and was so excited to do so. The neighbor across the street, Mark is AMAZING and the sweetest. We will miss your house, your town, and your sweet neighbor dearly. Memories were made and we were so sad to leave. Until next time, because there will be a next time!

We wanted to love it but....

We loved the home, the furnishings were exquisite and everything in the home was PERFECT. But.... There was this hugely annoying beeeeeppppp from the back yard. We think (?) It was a gator pest type thing to make noise so the alligators wouldn't set up shop in the back yard... which was next to a small retaining pond. And the distance to the beach was not a short walk. I'm a slightly overweight, redheaded (so burn in 5 minutes, hide from sun type) and it took us 20 minutes of hard slugging chairs, towels, bags to the beach. I was a hot, sweaty, sunburned mess before we even hit the sand. The location of the beach isn’t the owner's fault. But I did find issue with the photo of pools and such and there were none near the house. It was in a completely different building location, about a mile away. So that wasn't something easy to walk to, either. Overall 100 glowing stars for the home and 0 for the location to the beach, pool, etc.and noise. Not easily walkable by anyone slightly out of shape or with small kids. Buy earplugs for the gator thingie, we found some at the Dollar General just down the road. Otherwise it's a loooonnnggg night.

Cozy Beach House Checks All the Boxes!

Our stay at the cozy beach house owned by Chris and Hanna was wonderful! We enjoyed the spacious and clean home, neighborhood amenities and nearby dog friendly beaches. The owners were very communicative and courteous to our trip priorities. It was a quiet and enjoyable stay for our family. I recommend this home highly for FL panhandle travelers with kids &/or pets.

Beautiful House, Quiet Neighborhood, Amazing Beach

This home was beautiful! It had lots of nice spaces and lots of beds (3 Kings, 2 twin bunks and a futon). The in-law suite was nice since we have a big family (nice to have 2 fridges since we cook all our own meals). The neighborhood is nice and it's not a long walk to the beach (it will be nicer when the boardwalks from the neighborhood through the dunes are finished). The heated neighborhood pool that was supposed to be open was not, which was a bit disappointing since the ocean was so cold. The beaches were pristine and beautiful with lots of shells and gorgeous sunsets. Lots of amenities in the area as it is close to Mexico Beach, Port St. Joe and Cape San Blas.

Everything we Needed!

Cozy Beach House" is perfectly named. The home was VERY comfortable and had everything needed for our friends' comfort. The home was also very spacious which was ideal for a group of 5 adults to have privacy and at the same time gather in the spacious common living area when desired. Chris was awesome in his responsiveness as well. We couldn't have asked for a nicer experience!

Quiet neighborhood and great location.

This was our first trip to Port St Joe area. Location of this home was in the middle of all the places we wanted to visit for our trip. This home has a great layout for the times we wanted to gather and if we needed a little alone time. The beds were amazing. Neighborhood was so quiet and was great for running and bike riding. Pool and beaches were just minutes away. We enjoy cooking and eating in so I would like to suggest adding more bakeware and cookware. Loved having 2 refrigerators. Communication was excellent and very timely when we had a couple of issues and I appreciated this. Oh and absolutely loved having access to a vacuum cleaner and broom for cleaning for our length of stay. This was a great stay and would love to stay here again!

Great space for family

The house was very clean. We had three families ranging in age from 8-65. The house accommodated everyone and gave us all our own space when needed. The location was convenient and the walk to the beach was as advertised. I would highly recommend this beautiful house.

Great stay.

Its a little hard to find from Pt St Joe. Not on google maps. But, a nice house. Lots of toys. Short walk to beach if you turn left out of the driveway and turn right after the last house. Beach is great. Very pleased with the house and host. Will try to book again.

Quit beach perfection

We so loved staying at your property! The beds were so comfortable. The space was perfect so my in laws could have their own space away from the games in the evening. Everything was super clean and there were plenty of supplies for fun at the beach. This is a great quiet location. A short walk over a couple grassy dunes lands you right on the beach away from the crowds. Lots of sea shells too! The arcade was a big hit with my kids too. We will be coming back.
