Was not expecting the amenities for dogs...including a crate and bowls (just in case we forgot)! We could even take our fur baby to the beach on a leash! Great location for finding good food in Port St. Joe, and great beach withing a few miles! Would highly recommend for pet owners!

Highly recommend!!
We stay in a VRBO every year for scalloping season. The house has a super nice open kitchen and living room. The host is the best I've ever had at maintaining communication and making sure you're questions are answered promptly. Only problems we encountered were that most of the blinds didn't work which didn't bother us. Definitely a good place to stay if you're looking for a good vacation in or around Port St Joe!

Beautiful property with a short ride to the beach.
Owner was responsive, helpful and caring. The house was immaculate and we loved the open floor plan. She thought of everything a guest could possibly need and she has excellent taste. We loved the comfy furniture, beds and accessories. Kitchen is well stocked with beautiful dishes and lots of pans. Our dog loved the front and rear screened in porches. Parking spaces were good but sometimes difficult to back the boat in due to the traffic.

Wonderful Vacation Home!
As we drove up to the home, I knew I had rented a small piece of paradise for the week. The pictures don't capture the feeling of being at beach as the home does. We enjoyed our stay so much! We do cook on our family vacations and everything we needed including a grill was there to use. The bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas were decorated so nicely. We had an awesome vacation and hope to rent your home again.

We loved staying at this beautiful home on our family vacation. Karisa was so sweet to us and was very timely in her responses. The views from the home are breathtaking and it is conveniently located to the public beach access. There are so many essentials in the home that made our stay so much easier. We couldn’t have asked for more. Our family will cherish the memories we made in this home and on this trip for a lifetime!

Fun family trip
The minute we drove up to this property our family all knew this was going to be a great week. The house smelled and looked very clean when we walked in. Everyone had their own comfortable bed to sleep in. The kitchen was very well equipped for cooking and eating meals together. The furniture in the living room was perfect for relaxing in the evening to watch movies.

Central location, clean, comfortable
The property was very clean, the location was centered perfect between restaurants and the state park. Restaurants all within 10 min. Can’t beat it. State park down on the cape had a beautiful beach to hang out on bay side. House was very spacious, A/C worked great. Furniture and beds were comfortable. Host was very responsive. Also Joe Mamas Kitchen in downtown was by far the best restaurant.

Great location and extremely comfortable
The only down fall was someone prior to our arrival allowed their pet to pee and poop on porch. Dog hair on couch, in bathroom and on cushions. I keep my dog kenneled because I don’t want others dealing with this . The house was beautiful and for the majority of it clean. I was concerned someone may think my dog made a mess and I don’t function this way. I am very thankful for the opportunity to stay and for the beauty and location to things. Beds super comfortable. We had two days bad due to weather but certainly couldn’t blame anyone for this. Hopefully we will visit again soon. I promise this is not meant to be negative. We would certainly rent from these owners again. Just pray other pet owners would be more considerate of this beautiful property!

Perfect!
Karisa is an excellent host--from reaching out to let us know we could check in early, to providing a clean, comfortable place (complete with large screened porches) to come home to in the evenings We have made several trips from north Alabama to Port St. Joe recently due to family business, and this property is by far the most inviting, clean, and comfortable place we have found. We highly recommend this charming cottage which is near to downtown Port St. Joe as well as a short drive to the beach at Cape San Blas.

Beautiful house and so inviting. We wanted to move in. Most comfortable furniture in every room.
You will not be disappointed staying here. The living room furniture and the beds were the best in over twenty years of renting in the area. The sunsets from the front porch were awesome and the wildlife noises from the natural settings at night were mesmerizing. There is everything in the kitchen you need to cook whatever you desire and it was just an awesome experience. Thank you Karissa for sharing your house and being an awesome host!

Feels very homey
We were really pleased with everything! The owners have everything there that you need, including beach towels to use! It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable! The owner was very easy to communicate with and even gave us suggestions. One of things we enjoyed was that is wasn’t in the busy area, other than being on the highway which made for a little noise. That is a tiny thing compared to how nice it was! I would recommend this place to anyone!

Amazing stay!
We had an amazing stay at this perfect little spot in St. Joe Bay! The house was clean and had everything you could possibly need for your stay! The welcome booklet was super informative and was spot on with recommendations. The views of the sunset are fantastic from the front porch! The back porch is quiet and peaceful and gets great morning sunshine. It is on a rather busy road and if traffic noise is an issue for you, you may want to bring a white noise machine or something. It didn’t bother us at all and the location was so convenient. 5 minutes from a gorgeous beach and 15 minutes from town where restaurants and shopping are great. We will definitely be returning to this gem of a house in this beautiful town!

Beautiful House in cool beach town
Overall, this house was very clean and comfortable to stay in. Kitchen supplies were plentiful and cool outdoor screen porches. Beach access is about 2 minutes away for one beach and 10 minutes for the other in Cape San Blas (which is the most amazing beach) Extremely pet friendly. One thing I will caution about is this house is located on a busy highway so it is loud outside and there is no fence if you have pets. Overall though our experience was awesome and this is a great house to stay at.
