We really enjoyed our stay. It was close enough to to some nice beaches. Only thing that kinda stun was WiFi but being where it’s located it can’t be helped. Karisa was amazing to deal with.

short stay
We had a great, short stay! Karisa was very prompt with communication and was just a text away if we needed her. The house was wonderful, clean, and the beds were very comfortable. I have back problems, so the beds are always the first thing I notice =) Our pup had a great time, as well!

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!

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!

Home away from home.
Home as described in listing. Lots of space and everything you need to be away from home. Variety of beaches close by. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle this is the place you need to stay. Home was clean, well stocked kitchen to cook meals. If you like seafood you are 3 miles from fresh seafood stand. You can take the short drive to Port St, Joe, eat at Peppers Mexican Restaurant, Krazy Fish or get a quick to go meal at the Cool Breeze chicken. Don’t let this house pass you by.

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.

Great location. Simple, peaceful retreat!
The Holbrooks recently acquired this property as their home away from home and their pride of ownership shows throughout. Very clean and comfortable in a no frills offering. It was a quick drive to the beach and their welcome guide/book was like having a local guide you. We enjoyed having a place to bring our dog with us to make it a full family trip, even a large kennel is available for your pet’s use. Aside from cleanliness and comfort, the property was stocked with plenty of towels, soap, and the kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook a meal. There is a grill available and plenty of covered balcony seating, including a dining table in the rear balcony. Nothing beats the sunset gleaming through the trees as you sit on the front covered balcony to end a fun day at the beach. Thank you so much for your assistance and communication before, during, and after check out!

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!

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.

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.
