Perfect little getaway spot. Literally a 2 minute drive to beach. Great pools on site. The cottage has pretty much everything you need. Right by the gated entrance, yet quiet and safe. A short drive to shops, stores, restaurants in “downtown” Port St. Joe. Just beware there are steep steps to get to the bedrooms. But all in all, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay again if we ever find ourselves in the area.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family enjoying staying at this location. The master bedroom bed was amazing! The kitchen was well-stocked. The convenience of location was perfect. The only downfall was you can’t easily walk to the beach, but there are numerous beaches easily accessible if you drive a little bit. Thanks so much for providing such a great experience for our family. The host is very responsive.
