    Our stay was great! The owner was very communicative and accommodating. My littles enjoyed the bunk beds! Conveniently located by the pool. Super close to the beach access as well! We loved our first stay in Port ST. Joe and will be back!

    Check-in was super easy with keypad entry. Great communication with our host Brittney! She answered messages quickly and was super friendly! We didn’t cook during our stay but the kitchen was well equipped as well as the entire cottage. Very clean & spacious for our group of 6. Pool conveniently located right out front of the home. Beautiful property with plenty of walkways! Quiet & relaxing. We would definitely stay again.

    Our recent family vacation was nothing short of amazing! The house was absolutely perfect for the six of us — spacious, clean, and filled with natural light. One of our favorite features was the pool located directly in front of the house. It gave us peace of mind to be able to relax while keeping an eye on the kids as they swam and played.The screened-in front porch quickly became my favorite spot to start the day. Sipping coffee while soaking in the quiet, peaceful mornings was pure bliss. The location was also ideal — just the right distance from both Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe, giving us easy access to everything we wanted to explore without being in the middle of the hustle and bustle.Thank you for helping us create such special memories. We’re already talking about coming back!

    We had a great time with our family, the house is right on the best pool in the complex, a quick drive to a lovely beach on the bay, and just a few minutes from restaurants and shops. Definitely a family favorite.

    We were gifted a vacation by our parents in this beautiful cottage. We have a toddler and young children, as well as a teenager. The cottage wasn’t very kid friendly, heavy glassware and china. The coffee table had nails coming out and rusty decor on the porch. Everything else was perfect with plenty of beds, beautiful balcony with swings, carts for your use and lighting on the balcony and screened in porch. We would recommend making it a little more “kid friendly” with the specific mentioned things. Property was beautiful and guests were respectful of quiet time.
