Very clean! Love the upstairs and downstairs screened porches. One minute drive to the beach! Five minutes from downtown with so many restaurant and shopping choices. Would absolutely stay her again! Perfect little neighborhood with multiple pools and great for walking dogs.

We enjoyed our stay in PSJ! The home was beautiful and nicely decorated. I really liked that it’s a gated community and it was in close proximity to the marina and where we met up with other friends.

Great place to stay near beach and I really felt safe when walking my dog. Quiet gated community is exactly what I needed. Beds are on the softer side. I personally prefer a harder mattress but honestly you could not go wrong staying here. I would say that if a problem did arise the management company was not great at reaching back out. Their laminated brochure is not up to date and mentions needing a parking pass and if it’s not present after you leave you will be fined. It took a couple days to respond back to say that the information in the brochure is not accurate and up to date. I also asked for the code to the workout room and never heard back. I’m so grateful that I truly had no issues with the place itself and enjoyed the community and my stay.
Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed the location and found the property charming. Keep us in mind for your future travels. We’d love to host you again!

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.
This place was everything it’s described to be. Quiet and close to all restaurants and activities. Absolutely no complaints. Will definitely stay here again.
