Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Excellent super clean remodeled house with plenty of space and amenities. Host communication was top notch. Very good location close enough but uncrowded. The beach view and easy access were well above price range. We will definitely return. Two families could easily stay with 3 lounge areas and a big table. The large screen porch sitting area was very relaxing. Beach chairs, umbrella, cooler and sand toys along with an outdoor shower were nice touches. Can’t say enough about how impressed we were from a long time VRBO member.

John, John, thank you so much for the incredible review! We’re thrilled to hear how much you and your group enjoyed your stay. It means a lot that you appreciated the cleanliness, space, amenities, and especially the beach access and views. We’ve worked hard to create a relaxing place for families and groups to gather, so hearing that the screened porch, multiple lounge areas, and beach extras made your trip even better truly means a lot to us. You were wonderful guests, and we’d be honored to host you again anytime. Thanks again for choosing our home and for your kind words!

Why they chose this property

We chose Beacon Hill because it offers something truly special. While it’s not much of a hill, the slight elevation gives you some of the best views along Highway 98—perfect for soaking in those stunning Gulf sunsets. Just steps away, St. Joe Beach is peaceful and rarely crowded, making it ideal for morning walks, shell hunting, or simply relaxing with the sound of the waves.
We love the laid-back, natural vibe of this area—it’s a place where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the outdoors. Whether you're here to explore or unwind, we hope you’ll fall in love with this little slice of coastal charm just like we did.

What makes this property unique

This vintage beach cottage is all about relaxed coastal charm and unforgettable views. The giant screened-in porch is the heart of the home—perfect for catching the ocean breeze, sipping coffee at sunrise, or winding down after a day of adventure.
Inside, the open-concept main level gives you plenty of room to spread out, connect, and enjoy quality time with family and friends. Whether you're cooking together, playing games, or just lounging after a beach day, the layout makes it easy to feel at home.
We fell in love with this place for its laid-back vibe and unbeatable location—and we hope you do too.
