The upstairs porch has two wicker sofas and a coffee table - the coffee table is big enough for playing cards in the evening.

Beautiful Cottage
It was a very nice stay. Beds were very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Screened in porches were very nice. It was much enjoyed by part of our party. The other part couldn't make it due to a visit by Hurricane Milton and not being able to travel. We will have to plan a future trip for our friends' reunion. The hosts do pay much attention to detail and comfort.

Lazy Lou Cottage
Overall, we enjoyed the stay and will definitely consider rebooking as our vacation destination. The neighborhood was clean, friendly, and safe with close and easy access down the road to the beach. The house itself was clean, nicely decorated, welcoming, and had most amenities we needed. Take your own dish towels and dishcloths as there were none, but the kitchen was otherwise well equipped for cooking meals. There is tv access to Hulu, but while watching, we were kicked off multiple times while trying to watch movies or programs. We were able to take the kayaks out, but there is some minor maintenance needed as some were missing plugs. Also, the racks where two of Them are kept were too high and difficult to easily access and to put back up. On a brighter note, the beds were comfortable and we would rate our overall stay quite favorably.

Lazy Lou Cottage was awesome!
Family members gathered at this cozy cottage ready for fun. We enjoyed the multiple pools and that our cottage had a bathroom for every bedroom. The location was perfect as we were able to enjoy Port St Joe, Mexico Beach and Cape San Blas.

Enjoyed our stay!
We spent a week there in our family vacation. We went to Mexico beach one day, but went to Cape San Blas the other days. The kids enjoyed it much better than Mexico Beach. The house was nice. If I have anything negative about it, it’s that the internet is slow. But that could just be an area wide issue. Our cell phone service was not that great either. Overall, great place, had fun, loved the matte black silverware set and would really like to know where to get a set! (And all the coffee mugs!)

Overall Great Place to Stay
We had our annual family vacation at Lazy Lou and it was great! The house was very clean and in a great/quiet location. We love the Port St Joe, FL and this house is close enough to the beach that we had no problem loading up and taking the kids every day. It slept all nine of us comfortably. We will definitely be back!

Our family of 5 adults and 4 Grandkids fit great at Lazy Lou. We all had space and room and time together. Location was good. Close to the bay (did some kayaking in the bay) and enjoyed Rish State park great for special needs folks. Thank you Lazy Lou for giving us some wonderful memories this year.

This Home is utterly amazing. Best of everything as you walk through the home. They spared no expense as to the furnishings. This is by far one of the best homes i have ever stayed in on VRBO. Owners are amazing, location is 5 minutes to the center of the city. If you get the chance to stay here do yourself a favor and just book it!! O'Daniel Family

Fun, family getaway
The property was nice and in a great location. There are two pools on property. It was close to downtown Port Saint Joe where you can find restaurants, and a piggy wiggly for beach supplies and groceries. We really enjoyed Joe Mamas pizza and the Mexican restaurant in town. The townhouse is about 30 minutes from St Joseph Peninsula State park where there is a beautiful beach and Bay Area for swimming. There is a closer beach just down the street, and Mexico Beach is also close by. The beds were super comfy and we enjoyed our stay.
