Gulf View, Large Home with Elevator, and Easy Beach Access ~ Sammys Old Place

The property is

We had a wonderful time! Sammy's Old Place was a perfect house for our group, and the elevator made it very easy to get groceries and luggage up to the multiple levels. The kitchen was well stocked and spacious ... our only complaint would be small pantry space, but we definitely made do! We loved playing games at the kitchen table in the evenings! Pristine Properties was very attentive quick to respond with any questions or requests. It is a beautiful house, and we would definitely stay here again!

My family and I enjoy our stay at Sammy’s Old Place. Everything was as expected in the listing. The check in/check out process was seamless. The view of the beach was great! We love visiting Port St. Joe and staying near the beach. The property was well maintained and offered a relaxing atmosphere for our Spring Break getaway. Even with staying during a pandemic, we felt safe. I do think for the cleaning fee charged, the cleaners could do a better job in some areas. We did bring our own cleaning supplies to use. Overall, we plan to rent Sammy’s old place again.

Sammy's Old Place looks wonderful online. It is a beautiful home, but has seen better days. The furniture in the upper living room is horribly soiled. The master bedroom carpet was fresh and clean, however the styrofoam and vinyl squares used to keep the furniture legs off the wet carpet still in place. The master shower drain had hair in it. There were at least 6 light bulbs out on the second floor alone, master bedroom and bath, main living room and kitchen. Could not get the tv remote to work to change channels. I believe the batteries were dead. We were able to use the bedroom's remote to operate the living room tv. The sliding glass door, by the dining room, outside handle had completely fallen off. The upper screened porch was missing half of its screens. The coffee maker did not work. The wood floors are in need of repair, chunks of wood missing and badly scuffed. The dishwasher latch is missing it's knob. Was hard to figure out what to do to start wash, as it was undetectable without a knob. The clothes washing machine leaks, or I believe so. After using it, the floor was wet. There was no outdoor trash receptacle to place trash in. As you arrive, the front yard looks as if no one has been there in months. It was full of trash and palm fronds strewn all over. There was a used baby diaper in the front of the outdoor shower. Nice surprise to find that there was a beach cart with umbrella and two beach chairs. Once on beach, we discovered the umbrella has a rubber band around it to keep it up and one of the beach chairs is completely broken. This property looks so nice from the pictures, it is not. Needs to have some attention by the property owner/manager.

Great location for those who just want to relax on the beach and be away from a lot of people. This was a girls trip, there was 10 of us and we had a fabulous. Other than giving a little more care to the cleanliness of the house (dusting, cleaning hair from bathrooms, and shampooing/cleaning of fabric furniture), the stay was totally awesome!

Property was in an ideal location. Quiet area. Easy beach access
