Perfect for our small family, plenty of space for a family of 3-6. Unfortunately the washer was out of balance during our stay.Quiet beach with plenty of privacy. Would love to stay here again.

Awesome Beach House

We had a great time at the beach the week after Christmas! Plenty of room for our group of four adults and two dogs. Not sure who liked the beach more…We had not stayed on that part of 30A before and will definitely stay again as the beach is beautiful and very pet friendly…and 5 minutes from The Raw Bar! The house is great and very well stocked! Don’t let the pictures of an “older” house discourage you from renting this one.

Beachfront paradise

Right ono the beach! Quiet, secluded with private boardwalk to an almost private beach. Old school charm with fully stocked (looks like new) kitchen. Comfy , new looking, furniture. Midway between Port St Joe and Appalachicola if you want to eat out or go grocery shopping. Our fav!

The waves of St Joe's

This was an absolute marvelous stay, having access right out to the beach could not have been better. The house was great and served us well, but is well worn and could use some basic feature updates. We would stay again but I'd try to negotiate a better rate.

We loved it!

The home is in a great location, right on the beach. The bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen and bathrooms were spotlessly clean when we arrived. We have stayed next door at As Pelicans Pass, and this home has the same layout although slightly smaller. We liked the outdoor shower, for washing off after being on the beach. One thing about this house is that you have to go outside and down the stairs to access the washer and dryer. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have already made reservations for next year!

Your own private beach!

This house worked perfect for our family of 5. We stayed a week and everyday was like stepping out on our own private beach. Beach access was easy.. with a private boardwalk straight out from the house to the beach. It made hauling all the beach gear a very simple walk. House was well stocked with cooking utensils, A/C worked great as did all appliances. Our family would definitely stay at this home again and should we ever decide to bring along more family or friends the house right next door is exactly the same and owned by the same owners/property management.

We had a wonderful 3-night stay at A Wise Way. The location is perfect—right on the beach, close to Cape San Blas, stores, and downtown Port St. Joe. The house was very comfortable, and we appreciated meeting the owner’s grandson next door, who kindly offered to help if needed. We loved the peaceful days on the beach with no crowds. Would definitely stay here again!
