We were familiar with Port St Joe so easily recognized how great the location of this cottage was for our activities. Reid street where many of the restaurants and stores is an easy walk and the roads to the beaches are a block away. There is also a Port City path nearby for walkers, runners, and non-motorized bikes, etc. It's in a well traveled neighborhood with nice parking on the side of the house. The inside of the home was cozy for us and met our needs well. As reflected in the documentation, it is pet and children friendly but not necessarily proofed, so recommend checking yard out for pet. Though fenced, there are some small gaps possibly created by recent storm activity and simply living adjacent to Gulf Coast (we experience the same at our own home). Our host was easy to communicate with provided needed information. WiFi worked well. We would easily stay here again.

Will be back!

House was perfect for our family of 3 and little 10 pound pup! We spent most of our time in the bay fishing or in the back yard with the fire pit going! Driveway is long enough for boat parking! We cooked every night at the house, had all the utensils & dishes we needed! Owner was quick to respond to all of ours questions/needs! We could walk everywhere! Less than 10 minute walk to marina, where there is a park & small walking trail. Could easily walk to the downtown area to restaurants if you want! We will definitely be back!

Charming but

The home is very charming. However, there are a few details you may want to know. First I never contacted the owner/manager with any issues since I didn't feel there was anything they could do before our rent term was completed. First there is no hot tub, there was only 1 bike with a flat tires, there are 2 grills - both not cleaned but the propane was empty so we used the other grill. The sink outside was flithy. Make sure if you have dogs don't let them in the outside shower area because they can easily get out going under the home. Now the main thing that was most annoying is the A/C I would set for 69/70 but wouldn't get to that until after midnight, it was 75 degrees even 79 degrees - and it was below 90 degrees outside. The futon is broken and hot in that room always. The front door lock didn't work half the time would click like it locked but you could just open the door. The bathroom when we first got there smelled like pee but, we cleaned it, problem solved - looked clean just didn't smell clean. There are pennies stuck in the washer machine - tried to get them out but, couldn't. All the mattresses in the home are very old and uncomfortable. Just know everything except the coffee maker is dated and mis-matched of dishes and silverware. (Not a big deal or deal breaker). I just wish the owner wouldn't have false advertised bikes and hot tube. Over all great location and cute home. Just needs some work outside and upgrades and check AC

Cottage very great on inside. Very accessible to boat ramp and restaurants. We think the grass should have been mowed and backyard needed a thorough cleaning. We were not able to use the gas grill as it had not been cleaned in a while.

Perfect Bay Cottage!

Our family, including our 2 aussies, had a wonderful time in PSJ this week! We loved the photo album of the renovations & enjoyed the character of this home. Our 2 pups enjoyed the big fenced in yard & made it into their personal racetrack. Thank you for opening up this cozy home to us, we will definitely add it to one of our favorites to look for when booking again!

It turned out cold when I was there. I turned up the heat but it wasn't enough to keep the place warm. It got colder and the pipes froze so I had no water. I just packed up and left. i was never furnished with a contact number or instructions on how to enter the house so I spent the first night sleeping in my car. This had to be the worst travel experience of my life

Super Satisfied!

As senior folks, we could totally appreciate the charm of this old house, but we think our grown kids and grandkids would like it too. It has been renovated and decorated beautifully and has all the conveniences you could ask for plus lots of little extra touches. We enjoyed the fire pit while steaks cooked on the grill, morning coffee on the front porch, all the utensils we needed to cook low country boil in the large kitchen, nearby restaurants as well as a great Piggly Wiggly, and the easy access public boat ramp just a few blocks away. The house was super clean (stained pillows mentioned in another review have obviously been replaced), checking in and out was super easy, and Janis was super helpful and gracious. This is not the place for those looking for excitement, but if you want a quaint, cozy cottage to relax in, this is it!
