Southern Charmer

This property could easily be featured in Southern Living Magazine! Beautifully decorated, quiet & beachy location. It had everything we needed for a 10 day stay. Port St. Joe was friendly & full of southern charm. Lots of parks, beaches, and nature centers nearby. Don't miss the Uptown Restaurant for oysters!

Spring Getaway

We had a great time exploring the “forgotten coast” for two weeks (3/9-3/23). This is a quiet and less busy area. The cottage was perfect & well equipped with all the things for a homey feeling. Owner provided lots of extras including grill & beach accessories. Port St Joe has a cute downtown, restaurants & walking trail by welcome center. Our daughter’s family visited for a few days. The little grandkids loved the pool & beach even though it was a little cooler. We enjoyed our laid back spring vacation!

Everything we could have hoped for!

We needed a get-away and we didn’t want to leave! This cozy beach cottage is an absolute dream! From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The decor is charming and coastal, with comfortable furnishings that make it feel like a true home away from home.The location is perfect—just across the street from the beach, making morning walks on the shore and sunset cocktails a daily delight. The cottage is spotless, well-stocked with everything you need, and the little touches (like the coffee station and the welcome basket) make all the difference.If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway with all the comforts of home and the magic of the sea, this is it. A true gem—we can’t wait to come back!

Friends’ trip

Found the cottage to be comfortable, homey & extremely clean. The kitchen was the most well stocked I have ever experienced. Bedrooms were really cute & beds were firm & comfortable & linens high quality. I have never stayed in a place where I had to drive to a beach but it was a short drive & the beaches were beautiful especially Cape San Blas. Restaurants in area were wonderful. The community was beautiful & enjoyed the pool & felt very safe. I had several questions before arriving & the owners responded immediately & were helpful. By far this was the nicest accommodations I have rented & would not hesitate to return.

Adorable cottage but...

My husband and I stayed here for our 23rd anniversary. The cottage is adorable. Perfect size for two people or more. The fixtures and aesthetic was perfect. The neighborhood is a little quirky and kind of confusing. Trying to find the cottage. Absolutely zero privacy though. All the cottages have screened porches which makes you want to sit out there, but you're staring into your neighbors windows all around you. You can't leave the window blinds open because your neighbors windows are right there. Not sure who designed this but they really didn't think that one out. If that doesn't bother you then this cottage is perfect otherwise.

Holiday Stay

Getaway during holidays was just what husband and I needed. We found our accommodation was lacking nothing. Everything we would have used in our home was there in our cottage, and Bennie was always within reach to assist or answer any questions. Would highly recommend this rental to anyone.
