Perfect location, great atmosphere and great beds!

This place was great! Being able to walk to the cute nearby boutiques and restaurants was fun. The beaches on Cape San Blas and St Joe are stunning with white sand and only about a 10 to 15 minute drive. Our little pup, a Maltipoo, Luke, was able to be with us everywhere, which was so great! He enjoyed beach time & getting a pup cup at the nearby ice cream shop! The pool was so relaxing in the afternoons and to have it all to our selves at this cute cottage, was awesome! This kitchen was well stocked and even had a keurig. Smart TVs in every room! Well kept, clean, and the management company sunshine vacation rentals were great about communication and quick to address questions we had. Very cute cottage and comfortable. There’s a nice sized fenced in back yard so Luke could be off leash and play with his ball. We can’t wait to come back!

This was a wonderful home, and I wish I could’ve given it 5 stars, but a few ongoing issues prevented that. We had a great time in Port St. Joe—my dogs loved the yard, and we spent hours relaxing poolside. The property is managed by a company that was reachable by phone, but none of the issues were resolved during our stay:1) No dish soap was provided—I called Tuesday morning (we arrived Monday), but none was delivered before we left Saturday.2) The fridge water filter was so overdue that neither water nor ice worked.3) The dishwasher filter appeared uncleaned and had a noticeable odor.4) I confirmed in advance that the pool would be usable (not heated was fine), but it wasn’t maintained as stated (Tuesdays & Fridays), and the filtration system wasn’t working; the pump ran 24/7.Some recommendations for the property team that did not affect our stay or review:-Dishcloths to wipe down counters-Drying rack for inside the sink-Hooks for pool towels (we used the kitchen stools)-2–3 throw blankets-Lid for the indoor kitchen trash-Keurig cups—this makes a big difference and adds a personal touch-Sharpen knives-Check the garbage disposal (there may be a small stone in it; this was present before our arrival)-Tighten the bathtub water handle
