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.

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

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.

The good, the bad and the magical
So many thoughts. The good: comfortable bed and chairs, great view, quiet, beautiful, dog beach. The bad: a/c didn’t work. I took a pic of the a/c turned to 72 degrees and the temp in the house was 82 degrees. It was difficult to sleep. The lock on the door was many digits and had to be put in every time we unlocked the door. It was difficult to lock the door. I suggest reading the manual for The door lock b4 staying. We were very frustrated. I tried calling Vacasa and instead had to listen to advertisements . The ceiling fans worked but only when the lights were on. No large garbage bag so we used the small bathroom bags so had 3 bags when we were done which was unwieldy. No keurig and no coffee filters, so bring filters and coffee. No tissues, no usb ports so had to alternate all my chargers. The magical: so peaceful and uniquely remote. Phenomenal dog friendly beach, private, great porch overlooking the water w many comfortable chairs. Such a mixed bag of feelings but overall a good place that could be great.

A wonderful house, that accommodated grandparents, parents, child, baby, and dogs.
We had such fun at this beach house. The amazing short walk to the beach - really just out the door. A great deck with lots of seating for watching morning sunrise and evening sunsets. We fished, read, played, and just refreshed on the gorgeous beach. Well furnished for a large family group. Great location, lots of private beach space.

We loved the place, views and walks on the beach. We only had one real issue, the door code they emailed us didn't work and we had to call to get another one that did. We never found the thermostat to change the temperature but didn't need it in November. We hope to come back again.

Peaceful family getaway
We had a great stay at this location. The house was just as pictured in the listing and perfect for myself, husband, son(4 YO) & daughter (3 YO). We found everything we would need in the kitchen for cooking our meals. The beach is very large and even the people staying next to us were 50 yards from where we setup each day. We really enjoyed our trip!

Perfect outside, not so perfect inside.
The view from this home was perfect. We saw sunrises, sunsets, dolphins swimming out front, pelicans, all from the front deck. The outside of the house was as pictured, and although we knew from the pictures that the furniture inside might be a bit dated, we did not expect it to be so old and dirty. And although the interior was surface-clean, there were heavy layers of dust on pictures, lamps, cabinet doors and drawers and even the ceiling fans that circled above the dining room table. The shower curtains had mold on them and plaster fell from the bathroom ceiling. The house is very much in need of a good deep cleaning and some needed updates.

Really nice older beach house in a relaxing location
The house was in great condition for it’s age and had everything we needed with plenty of room. The deck had been recently renovated and was very sturdy. The kitchen included everything we needed to cook any meal. The only thing was not being able to get the dishwasher door to close and lock, could have been operator error😊. The beach is nice and not ever very crowded. The neighborhood is very quiet. We really enjoyed our week and are already considering on renting this house again next year.

Perfect Pandemic Escape
The beach had very few people and the view was lovely. Five of us stayed very comfortably. As with most of these houses, you should bring your own good knives, cutting boards, and big pots if you need them, but this place is really well-appointed for people who plan to cook their own meals while there. There was a Kitchen Aid mixer, waffle maker, crock pot, multiple coffee pots, and enough plates and flatware to serve 20+ at a time. We did notice that the BR with the king bed was much warmer than the rest of the apartment. And the BR with no window was coldest, so we adapted as needed. No real biggie. The beach is very clean, with lots of shells to collect, and the walks to a beached sail boat and farther to a beached shrimp boat (the Donna Kay) were lots of fun. We also enjoyed being able to have a fire on the beach and someone nearby sold firewood so that was super easy. Our price, with everything, was less than $300 per night, so we felt like it was a good value. Just be aware that masks are not required in FL and it's clear that the culture is to try to ignore the pandemic. We brought almost everything but did have to go to small markets twice and noted that no locals wore masks, only visitors.
