About this property

If you are looking for the perfect, peaceful family vacation home, look no further than Pearly Shells. As soon as you turn into the property with its conveniently pavered driveway, its spacious, shaded, and grassy yards, surrounded in front, to the side, and rear, by a natural, wooded area, you will know you have certainly arrived. What better place to enjoy the peace and quiet that St. Joe Beach has to offer? After spending your days frolicking on our beaches of sugar white sands, gentle tides, and the usual small crowds, you will agree that this is the perfect vacation home for your whole family. And when you are ready for some fun times away from the sun and sand, slip into the privacy of a beautifully fenced-in backyard and either jump into the refreshing pool or simply enjoy the pleasures of relaxing in comfy poolside chairs. The spacious yard offers ample room for a game of flag football or a barbeque or seafood cookout with family and friends for the more adventurous. For those who prefer a good book or a favorite musical artist, there are decks a plenty to simply sit back and enjoy. The entire family will be comfortable in this artistically decorated four-bedroom, three-bath home with many extras, such as a full-size baby crib and baby gate.

The open-aired feel of this beach home allows plenty of space to spread out with separate living areas on the first and second levels. Sliding glass doors throughout the house that stretch from ceiling to floor creates a nice open-aired feel. The kids’ room on the ground floor has enough space for four to sleep comfortably and a TV to enjoy away from the adults. Large decks stretch the width of both levels, each with its own outdoor dining space, offering great views of St. Joe Beach. Whether inside or out, you will get cool beach vibes meant to know you’re on vacation.

Even though there’s only a one-block walk to the beach, for quick, easy access, talk to some of the local companies that offer golf carts. Whether you are young or young at heart, there is a haven for you here to make memories that will last a lifetime of fun, family, and friends.

Disappointed

While our vacation, overall, was great, we were disappointed in the property. The pictures are from at least 2-3 years ago, before Hurricane Michael hit. I know this because the pictures showed lots of tall shade trees in the backyard, and there are actually none (bc of the hurricane). The house has a good floor plan, but the paint in the outside looks like a kindergartner colored it, the carpet is stained, and the pool was dirty and never cleaned the entire week. Additionally, the lights in the pool did not work (we booked a place with a pool so that we had something for the kids to do at night; no lights, no night swimming). We asked maintenance to come look at the lights. They did so after 2 days but only repaired on light, so we still never got to enjoy the pool at night. We will be back to Port St. Joe, but not to this property.

Extremely dirty and misrepresented!

Pool was extremely dirty, outdoor furniture missing, couch cushions soiled and torn, mold on vents, dead bugs and cobwebs everywhere, king bed was broken and had to put blocks under it to use it, broken deck furniture, missing tiles on inside main staircase which were a trip and cut hazard, Grass was two feet high In certain areas around pool, oven door was broken,. Management did get the pool cleaned finally after 3 days and sent some new deck chairs and furniture covers but this was the most disappointing booking we have ever had through VRBO. The pictures online must have been from 10 years ago because all the furniture was worn and dirty with leather peeling off the cushions, and giant stains on the fabric. Won’t ever stay with this management companies properties again! After meeting with the manager to try to get reimbursed or moved to a new property (none were available due to 4th of July weekend) they only gave us the cleaning fee back! It was a stressful and horrible experience for what was supposed to be a relaxing vacation from our high stress jobs! Don’t stay here unless you want to spend your arrival day cleaning and covering furniture with sheets!

Spacious and Close to Beach

Pros: great location, about a block from the beach. Large house with plenty of room. Great for two families or one large family. Three "master" type bedrooms with adjoining bathrooms, and two sitting area/dens. Kids bunk bed room on ground floor. Large fenced in backyard with private pool. Two large decks on the second and third floor front of the house, with a little bit of an ocean view from the top deck. Cons: While the house was clean, the property was generally not in the best shape - stains and spots on carpet, missing floor tiles, marks on interior and exterior walls, decks in need of sealing (wood is dry and lots of splinters), dead trees around the property that need to come down. The "view" on one side is an RV that the neighbor has parked permanently on the adjoining lot, and across the street is a vacant lot with piles of debris. Not a dealbreaker, but just detracts from the overall enjoyment, and obviously none of this shows in the photos. Also FYI the grill is a charcoal grill, not gas, so if planning to cookout, bring charcoal and lighter fluid.
