Wonderful Stay
The house was all one level, well stocked, clean, and had very comfortable mattresses. There were no homes on either side for the utmost privacy. The deck overlooking the ocean was wonderful. The deck is well built and very safe for our toddler and our small dog. We experienced the most beautiful sunsets on the deck. We saw dolphins several days and a bald eagle on the beach one morning. The private boardwalk to the beach was very convenient and well kept. Check in and check out was easy. Diane was a great host. We hope to stay here again.

Perfect Getaway!
We could not have had a better time in Port St Joe. From the communications with Diane to the wonderful accomodations, it was everything we were hoping. The location of the property was perfect, and the peacefulness of the beach was amazing. It's as if we had it all to ourselves!! We spent most of our time relaxing on the amazing back deck, enjoying the sites and sounds of the ocean, the pups loved it! The house was stocked nicely, making it feel like home away from home. And, Diane was just wonderful to work with. We can't wait to go back!!!!

Privacy on the beach
Amazing spacious private home with no close neighbors on either side. The beach was nearly deserted with calm clear water. We saw dolphins from the deck every day and once we saw a bald eagle! One morning I was on the beach and the dolphins put on a show for me, swimming close to the shore and jumping out of the water. Shopping is nearby with small shops, a Dollar General and Piggly Wiggly 10 minutes away. We had delicious seafood from Shipwreck Raw Bar just up the street several times during our stay. The huge beautiful deck was our favorite part! It was simply amazing. I appreciated that it was completely enclosed so that a small dog could roam free safely. The boardwalk to the beach was wonderful. There was traffic noise during “rush hour” morning and late afternoon because the house is right on the highway (as is every beachfront property in the area). Diane was a great host who takes great care with her guests and the small details of her home. We sure hope to come back next year!

Beach Getaway
We have been coming to Florida for over 50 years. We have stayed in many homes, town homes, hotels, resorts etc. and, I have to say, this was one of my most enjoyable stays. The house was even better than it looks online. It was very clean. The check in process and communication with Diane was so easy. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the bedrooms are very spacious. The back deck is huge and has plenty of places to relax. The kitchen is very well stocked. Access to the beach is by your personal boardwalk. It is a very short trip right to the beach and water. If you go, do yourself a favor and take the short walk to Shipwreck Raw Bar. Great food and friendly service. You are just a short drive to the town or Port St Joe and it is a great place to visit with restaurants and shops. We took our older German Shephard with us and he had never visited the beach. He enjoyed the many walks on the beach, and it was not crowded at all. We would go back tomorrow if we could but will certainly visit Dianes home again ASAP!

Great House, Quiet Beach getaway
This house had comfortable beds, a great stocked kitchen. The huge deck and boardwalk and beach are the best part. The houses on either side are far away. There are sunsets over the water because the shape of how coast juts out. The beach wasn't ever crowded. There were people fishing around sunrise and sunset that I saw catching fish. It's a 10 min drive to Port St. Joe restautrants & shops. The beach has shallow water(up to 4ft) for over 100 ft out, then drops to about 10 to12 ft deep max., for 50ft, then a wide 3-4 ft. sandbar. No huge waves, calm waters most of the time. We had rental kayaks delivered to the house and crossed the the 1.8 mile end of the bay(45 min's 1 way) to the deserted beaches on the tip of the peninsula of the State Park that you can't get to by car. We and explored there and saw many fish, a couple rays, and many blue crab while snorkeling and collecting shells. They call it 'Old Florida', a quieter area without the tourist traps. I'd recommend this house to anyone. We had a great time.

We had a wonderful time! This is an older home, right on the beach. The decorations are nice with tile floors throughout (which was great with sandy kids). The back porch is large with decking right to the beach. We plan to return.

The Perfect Location
Our group of 4 loved this vacation rental home for our annual girls’ trip. This was our first time in this area and it will not be our last! The house was perfect! It was very clean and very well stocked. The view from the huge, new deck was amazing! That’s where we spent most of our time. The house was in the perfect location with just a short drive to restaurants, shopping, exploring, etc. We would highly recommend this rental property! You will not be disappointed. We can’t wait to visit again!

Beyond expectations
This house was everything the owner stated in the description. We were more than comfortable in the living area. The kitchen was very well stocked. Plenty of towels for our stay. The beds were very comfortable after spending the day playing on the beach We enjoyed many quiet nights on the large deck overlooking the gulf. The wooden walkway to the beach from the house made for easy access. If you are looking for a quiet beach with beautiful sunsets then this beautiful spacious house is the place for you

Simply wonderful
This is a nice home in a perfect location directly on St. Joe Beach. It is located on a beautiful and not overcrowded section of beach with the cape in view. The new deck was a great place to watch the waves and the beautiful sunsets. The updated home was clean and comfortable for our family of six and had all the amenities necessary to prepare meals and hang in when the weather wasn't so beach friendly. Port St Joe is only a few minutes drive away for some shopping and excellent restaurants. Shipwreck Raw Bar is only a few minutes walk up the street and we enjoyed several excellent meals on our visit. There is also a well stocked Dollar General very close for essentials. Check in was effortless with communication from the owner. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and can't wait to come back next year. A truly wonderful experience!!

So good I want to keep it a secret
This place is absolutely a hidden gem. The location is top notch. You won’t find a better one. The inside has been refreshed and updated. The back patio is where we spent most of our time. Diane is an amazing host with quick response and clear instructions for check in. We love this place so much that we want to keep it a secret but it’s too good not to share. We will be back.

Great sleepy area!
We really enjoyed our stay, beach had hardly anyone else there, everyone we met was very friendly. Some trouble with cleaning in between our stay and the stay before us was quickly remedied by Diane. Back porch is really a great addition and was perfect for us to hang out on while the kids napped. It is gated and our dog loved sitting out there as much as possible.

Perfect escape from demands of daily life!
This is the perfect spot to getaway and relax! The beach is not crowded, your nearest neighbor is a block away and the new deck is 10/10! If you’re looking for touristy things to do, this isn’t it. The beach and ocean are very much natural (ie there is seaweed), the locals fishing everyday are incredibly friendly, and there are no high rises or water/theme parks. Shipwreck Raw Bar across the street is good and it’s a 10min drive to Port St Joe, where there are several cute, local restaurants and shops (and a Piggly Wiggly). The house had everything we needed and Diane was great to work with. The area is still recovering from Hurricane Michael, but shouldn’t deter you from coming!

We have stayed here several times. This visit we had family that came from GA, SC, and PN. They all stayed at different places in Mexico Beach... not located on the beach...so our place / beach was the gathering place. House only steps to the beach, no crowds and beautiful sunsets! It was perfect! Can't wait till next visit! Diane is awesome!
