Easy in and easy out

Property is well located within Port St. Joe area yet out of the way of major traffic. Easy access to the beach which is not overwhelmed with tourists leaving lots of room to spread out. And our dog loved the large fenced in back yard. Very friendly neighbors. Very lovely and quaint little house. Truly loved our stay. So much yet to see and experience and hope to return in the near future.

Perfect

This property was perfect for our little family and 2 dogs. The backyard was so nice for the dogs to be able to roam and get plenty of exercise. The kitchen was very well stocked. It’s a small home, but perfect for a small family.

We had a great week! The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. The house was pretty well stocked with everything we needed. The bed linens and towels were nice and clean. It was just me and my wife and we had a very relaxing week. The only issues we had was the grill wasn’t working due to being old and rusty; the master bed was really firm and low to the ground, and we couldn’t find where to hook up the hose to rinse the sand off our feet. The patio fire pit was out of propane so we didn’t get to use it.

November get away

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The beach was a nice exercise walk, There were no sand spurs in the yard and for that we were very thankful! We had everything that we needed except a softer bed. Since we stayed 12 days and nights we did miss our bed. The manager was nice to deal with.

Great little house to stay with dogs. Newer appliances and close to a nice quiet beach. Allison was easy to communicate with. Did have a Bear visit the garbage can outside a couple of nights. We would definitely stay again with our pups.

We enjoyed our stay so much! The house was clean and very cute. The fenced in yard was great for our little dog. Bed was comfy, nice big bathroom. We drove down to the beach a little far to walk in the heat. Beach was calm and beautiful! I would stay here again for sure! L. Moore
