Fantastic house and beach

The house is exactly as in the pictures. The beach is steps away and empty! If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing beach in a cute sleepy beach town - this house is for you.

We had a wonderful stay here with our 4-year-old son. The house was very well furnished, with a spacious layout and a great porch for relaxing or enjoying a meal. We really appreciated the extra touches like the umbrellas, chairs, and beach cart—they made our beach days so much easier. The walk to the beach was easy, even with a little one, and once we got there it felt quiet and relaxing, with plenty of space to ourselves. A highlight of the trip was watching dolphins one afternoon right from the shore! Overall, it was exactly the kind of beach getaway we were hoping for. We’ll definitely be back—thank you!

Great House for families

Great spot for a holiday with children. We loved the private beach access and the nature resort on the island.

Great vacation spot.

We surprised our kids with a last minute beach trip and this spot was perfection. The pictures don't do the house justice - it is so spacious, the layout is perfect, kitchen is very well stocked. Beach is an easy walk. Also had the beach to ourselves which is so nice when you’re used to the overcrowded beaches of 30A. Our stay was one for the books! Thank you so much!

Good but needs TLC on the yard.

Outdoor shower is great but lock needs fixing as well as shower head. Memorize door lock combination as door locks every time you shut it as well as garage door. Needs fan in bunk room, pillows are very fat but beds very comfortable. Oven cooks very hot, we cut temperature down 25 degrees each time. Loved the kitchen island & big eating table. Beautifully decorated home! The hike across to the beach got tiresome.

Good but could use some yard TLC.

House is lovely, had issues with cleanliness & master shower drainage (not repaired during our stay so could not use). Walk across the street to beach gets old. Outdoor shower was great but shower head needs repair & will not lock. Garage refrigerator does not work & was dirty.

Relaxing getaway!!

We enjoyed a nice getaway. This house had wonderful and comfortable furniture. It was very well furnished. My only request would be extra sheets and the floors need a little more cleaning.”

Nice house, short walk to the beach.

Great home for a small family the doesn’t have mobility issues, because of the stairs and the walk to the beach. Kitchen has everything you need. Port St. Joe is about 10 miles away for all you shopping needs. We enjoyed our stay.

Rough start but nice ending

We just spent 4 nights at Dune therapy. We loved the house. It was nicely decorated and the beds were super comfortable. We had plenty of room for the 4 of us but there could have been at least 4-6 more with comfort. We loved having the beach chairs and supplies. We loved the easy walk to the beach. We did have a rough start with the cleaning lady still there when we were supposed to check in and there were some definite things she missed. We called and the managers were willing to send out someone to make it right. We didn’t accept though and just wanted to get on with our vacation. Then that night when we tried to take showers there was no hot water. I informed them the next day which was a Sunday and it was fixed in amazing time. The managers do a great job and they made sure we had everything we needed and everything was worked out. The beach was spectacular! If you are looking for seclusion, THIS is your spot. We barely saw anyone around us at all the whole time other than people just walking by us on a walk. Good value.

Excellent property short walk to beach

My mother, aunt & I stayed at Dune Therapy this weekend & had the best time. The cabin was very nicely appointed; we had plenty of room and everything we needed. Getting to the cabin was easy, the neighborhood was very nice and the location across the street from the beach with a designated walkway was the best part. It was cold, so we didn't spend too much time on the beach but we did go out for the sunset (with blankets) one afternoon and it was stunning. The cabin has 2 bedrooms with king sized beds and then a 3rd bedroom with 2 sets of bunk beds (4 beds total). All of it was clean and welcoming. There were just 3 of us, but this would be an outstanding location for a couple of families with kids to really enjoy. Lots of space for dining, hanging out on deck or inside. The property manager stayed in touch with us throughout the stay. We didn't need anything, but it was nice that they checked in each day. This was definitely a 5* stay... one of the best VRBO experiences I've had.
