We loved this place! Had plenty of space for 4 adults and 5 children. So close to several beaches, including Silver Beach, and they had great recommendations for us posted in the house so we discovered a new beach we had never been to before. Lots of seating inside and the kids loved all the games and foosball table!

Great spot for a big family

Clean and updated property. Good host. Driveway offered easy parking. Beds very comfortable. Upper balcony fun. Convenient to St. Joe. Wifi and TVs worked great. Kitchen fully stocked. Bathrooms clean, roomy. Older property but had character. Cool game room. Reasonably priced. Only minor cons. Needs more mirrors & trash cans. Road noise can be heard. Critter was in vent. Old doors didn't fully close.

Awesome little rental close to Silver Beach!

Easy to get to, very clean, and well maintained! Some of my favorite things about the house were: the sunroom/game room with plenty of puzzles and games, the large upgraded kitchen with plenty of seating, king beds, beach chairs and fire pit! Thank you, we loved it!

Excellent house within easy driving distance of beaches and restaurants.

Nice 3 bedroom house about 10 minutes from multiple beach options and good restaurants in a town that is easy to get around in. Communication with host was excellent and checkin/checkout very easy. Made for a very relaxing vacation. Full kitchen if you wanted to make some food yourself. There was also a very nice fenced in backyard with areas for a campfire, blackberry bushes, and a little trail through the woods which our kids loved. There were several good areas to play board games and card games after we got back in the evening.

Family Vaca

We all really enjoyed our stay! The kids loved the space and it was so nice having a front room full of toys and games for them! So many items were thoughtfully considered and provided during our stay throughout the entire house. Some items provided were beach towels, beach chairs, ice packs, a cooler, and sand toys for the beach. Both bathrooms provided shower hair products, blow dryer, and feminine products. Next time we visit I can definitely pack half as much for our stay because of how much they provided. The drive to silver beach was only 8min. The hosts were very responsive amd friendly to any needs we may have had. We look forward to booking our next vacation to St. Joe at this location!

Incredible Location!

First off, Julie was incredible to work with. We had originally booked this property with another owner who sold to Julie two months before out stay. Julie instantly reached out and honored the previous price and dates. From there, she communicated quickly and efficiently about our upcoming stay. The house was perfect - the inside is remodeled so nicely! We traveled with our two year old and I always bring my own toys, but toys were provided and my son loved them all! The beds were comfortable and everything was so cleaned! On top of how great the home itself was, the location was perfect! We were 4 minutes from a public beach/play ground and six minutes from downtown St Joesph. Thank you for opening your home to us Julie! We appreciate the stay!!
