Also, we have a screened-in waterfront gazebo with a hammock for your day and nighttime enjoyment with power and running water. Enjoy taking the house bicycles out for a tour of the area on the extended bike path, 2 mi. to the park. We also furnish, beach towels, linens, a large well-appointed galley kitchen with granite counters, and stainless steel appliances. There are TVs in all bedrooms and surround in the living room. The home is very private, has sheltered parking, fishing off of the dock and a fish cleaning sink, on the dock, a large gas grill on the lower balcony beck, and amazing views. It is a10-minute walk a public beach access point at Cape Palms Park (down bike path) with sheltered, tables, bathrooms, wheelchair access, grills, kids play area, open 24/7

Lovely Stay on Bay
This is our second stay at this property and it was great. Beds are comfortable, property was clean and views are fantastic. We loved the kayaks, paddle boards, and bikes. The only con is the water pressure. It has not improved since our stay last year. Overall, we would stay again.

Annual friends scalloping trip
The house provided a great view and the dock was perfect for our daily boat trips on the bay. The owner was super to work with and responded very promptly to any questions we had. There are a few items that need a little TLC but the overall experience was very good. Thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise with us.

The Best Beach Vaca Ever!
We loved this house and its location on the bay where we spent most of our time paddle-boarding, fishing, and sunning. Access to the beach is not across the road, but a ten minute walk. We will seriously consider going back to this house in the future.

We had a wonderful time on a last minute stay to celebrate our birthdays. The view is incredible! It was a bonus to be able to bring the pet and loved the gate on the deck! Bugs? Yes, you are on the water. Water pressure low? Yes but so tolerable….. It’s a beach house! We won’t hesitate to rent again! I didn’t want to leave.

Relaxing
Scalloping was slow this year but we were there for friends and relaxing. Success!! Your property is exactly what we've needed, not on top of people but perfectly secluded. The neighbors (to the west) the ones that purchased your other property were extremely friendly people. You couldn't have sold to better people. Thanks again for sharing your property with us. We look forward to next year and hope we can book on a good date! Thanks again for your hospitality. Clayton Wells

Wonderful property!
Very well stocked property. Everything we could need was provided. Owner very responsive to questions and communication. Some confusion on which kayaks and paddles belonged to which property. Shared dock and neighbors close gazebo was not an issue as the other property owners were courteous. Also there is a house being built next to the property so noise from early am throughout day but the owner cannot control this and we didnt mind since we are early risers. Overall, great stay and I would love to return!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Little piece of paradise
We spent a week at Trudy May;s Bay, and enjoyed every minute. The location is great, best of both worlds, the bay out back and across the street is the gulf. The bay is steps from the house and the view is stunning. Beautiful sunrise over the bay. I will say if you are not an early riser the sun will wake you up. On mornings I was not ready to rise, I took in the beauty, covered my head and dozed right back off. The view across the bay at night is really pretty with the lights of Port St Joe across the water. The house was spotless, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding in the bay (all of which are there for your use). We enjoyed watching the crabs scurry on the bottom. We drove across to the beach because we carried so much stuff. Bikes are there to ride or a golf cart if you want to rent it. David was very responsive if I had questions. Our dogs really enjoyed the location and the bay. You cannot go wrong with this one. We will definitely go back if the house is available when we travel.

Great property, great time on the water!
This property is an amazing stay for anyone that enjoys fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, or just sitting on the dock watching the sun rise. Plus there’s tie ups for your boat. If you wanna keep it in the water for the entire stay. It is on the bay side so no sandy beaches, but if that’s your thing, the beach access is just a half mile down the road, and there are bikes with a paved bike path that runs the entire way there. The house is very nice, with lots of bathrooms and showers, and plenty of beds and sofa space to give everyone a place to sleep. The kitchen is very well appointed, and we were able to prepare the fresh fish and blue claw crabs we caught from the bay every night. There are multiple porches to sit on with your morning coffee and watch the sun rise, which is absolutely gorgeous! We have stayed at this property two times now, and Amelia has been a very attentive property owner. The few little things that we mentioned from the first stay (broken ice maker in fridge, and slow drain in master bathroom) were fixed and functional when we came back. Plus there have been big updates to the property that have made it even better, like paving the area below the house for easier parking of multiple vehicles, and providing a ping pong table for additional entertainment. There was also a brand new, huge sectional sofa that replaced a couple smaller sofas that were previously in the living room, which has made seating WAY better for a large crowd.

Serenity, Nature and Comfortable Living!
The home was just beautiful & equipped with all of the creature comforts one could desire. The sunrise views overlooking the bay off the large spacious balconies are just spectacular! The primary bedrooms are large and equipped with oversized showers and the kitchen is perfect for those who love to cook! We loved kayaking while both fishing and birding in this bay filled with sea life.
