The place is beautiful and very well stocked! I'm assuming it might have been empty for a while. The toilets had scum rings around the bowls. We had to wash most of the dishes before use due to not being clean. The dryer didn't work well. It took hours to dry a load of clothes. The good definitely out weighed the negatives. We're looking forward to returning for another stay!

Wonderful Vacation Home

This house was amazing for our fall break. Beautifully decorated, like new with modern amenities, very comfortable and clean, and a very short walk to the beach. We spent our time relaxing, fishing, and walking on the beach. I can't recommend this property enough and definitely plan to stay here in the future!

The Perfect Beach House!

The Dune Buggie is the perfect beach house! It is impeccably decorated and no detail has been overlooked. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need for your stay and the porch overlooking the Gulf is a gorgeous place to have your morning coffee and afternoon cocktail. Beach access is easy and convenient and the beach is pristine and not crowded. The house is located between Mexico Beach and Port St Joe, so there are plenty of shops, restaurants and groceries nearby. We loved our stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Loved Dune Buggie Rental

It was our first time visiting the Forgotten Coast, and Dune Buggie was a perfect choice for a vacation rental. The house has exceptional location, decorating, and a spacious open floor plan. We had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday at Dune Buggie.

This is a beautiful, well kept, well appropriated home right across from the beach.Communication with host seamless and quick to assist when needed.Only suggestion to host would be for posting to reflect the well appropriated beach equipment available (chairs, small cooler, beach wagon, beach towels, corn hole) as it would have saved us quite a bit of to not have rented (chairs, umbrellas, cooler, beach wagon, corn hole).Ironically, the link for vacation/beach rentals was the same as the property listing (Sunshine Vacation Rentals of the Forgotten Coast). I choose to think this missing detail amongst a listing and property with such immaculately and thoughtfully laid out instructions, description, and planning is an oversight vs done intentionally.Bikes a must! Do rent those. Lovely area.We would certainly return.Thank you for a great week!

Perfect Long Weekend in Late June

*Gorgeous new home* All the amenities you need especially in the kitchen! Cozy beds, beautifully decorated. Great location with panoramic view of the ocean from the front porch. The beach was wonderful, even in June we had a stretch all to ourselves. Walk to the beach was easy, even with 4 kiddos in tow! Very quiet neighborhood, but keep in mind you are right off the main drag so there is some road noise.

Relax and renew at The Dune Buggie

We had the most wonderful week at The Dune Buggie! The house is fantastic - in every way - the decor is stylish and upscale, the kitchen is perfectly stocked and the beach gear is abundant, and the location is amazing. We sat on the front porch for coffee in the morning watching the ocean, the screened porch when it rained one afternoon, and the side deck to watch the sunsets. And the walk to the beach took 2 minutes tops. All those elements added up to the most relaxing and enjoyable week we've had in ages. I cannot WAIT to rebook The Dune Buggie for our next vacation!

Dune Buggie Love!

We can't wait to book another stay at The Dune Buggie! The home is so beautiful and stylish, which added to our enjoyment. The beach view is perfect - unobstructed and an easy walk to the sand and surf. We were so impressed with the cleanliness and how every detail was addressed. A professional chef could not ask for a better kitchen with all the elements on hand. As much as we enjoyed the interior of the home, we spent a lot of time on the front porch and the screened porch - and we watched sunsets from the side deck. Perfection!
Response from VrboOwner on 20 Nov 2025

Perfection in Port St Joe!

The Dune Buggie was the perfect place for our family to get away for a few nights to enjoy the beach. The house is beautifully decorated and the layout of the house is wonderful! Everyone had their own bathroom attached to their bedrooms. The kitchen, dining and living areas are one big open space which made it great to all be together while cooking, playing cards and hanging out. The kitchen is a chef's dream and has every single thing ever needed! We loved the screened porch in the back of the house and the front porch was perfect for watching the amazing sunsets!! The attention to detail in making guests comfortable was unmatched. 10/10 for sure! We hope to visit the Dune Buggie again soon!

Outstanding Beach House

We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful beach house! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning ocean view and the beautiful interior of the house. The open layout and modern beach decor made us feel right at home. The hosts have definitely thought of everything! The kitchen was fully stocked with absolutely everything we needed to cook meals. The extra ice maker was super convenient for filling our beach cooler and making those special frozen drinks! We spent hours lounging on the beach and swimming in the crystal-clear water. The house has so many games and puzzles to choose from when you've had enough sun for the day. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Every bedroom has a bathroom which was great! The host was incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We can't recommend this beach house enough and can't wait to come back again soon! Thank you for an unforgettable vacation.
