The house was exactly as described in the listing—clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable. We especially loved the large fenced-in yard, which was perfect for our dog to run around safely, and the pool was absolutely beautiful.The location couldn’t have been better. We enjoyed peaceful morning walks on the dog-friendly beach and spent our evenings relaxing on the decks, taking in some truly stunning sunsets.Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we’d definitely come back again!

House was exactly as pictured (actually, it looks even better in person). Kitchen was well stocked and perfect for cooking while still being a part of things. The kids had a great time in the pool and the dog loved getting her zoomies out in the fenced yard. We had great weather for beautiful sunsets and stars. Victoria was super helpful and easy to work with. We would definitely visit again.

St Joe Beach getaway!
A lovely, comfortable, well equipped, close to the beach home in quiet, and peaceful St Joe Beach!
With our stay being 13 days, and having friends from south Florida visiting, we wish it would’ve been better stocked with toilet paper and paper towels, but that was a minor issue, and I’d certainly recommend this property to anyone. We enjoyed our stay, and look forward to visiting again!
