Handy location.
The property is located about a quarter mile from the beach which was great. It is in a quiet, friendly neighborhood and we enjoyed the fenced backyard. It is a rental, and needs a little love as it was dinged and a little dirty, but overall it was fine. Not excellent, not beautiful, but fine. The bed is a queen I think but it felt very small, and the box spring had a "clanking" when weight shifted on the bed. We would have loved to have a king bed, and the bedroom was certainly large enough for it. We appreciated the fact that it was pet friendly, and as I said, the fenced backyard. The cons were it needed a fresh coat of paint in the bathroom and bedroom, and the kitchen utensils were not the best. The lack of central heat/cooling made it a bit difficult to regulate the temperature in the bedroom but there is a large ceiling fan to help with that. Overall for us it met our needs which was to enjoy beautiful beaches and escape the frigid Iowa winter for a month. We do plan on going back again next year.

Clean, comfortable
Very clean and comfortable. Nice linens except sheets didn’t fit the mattress. We stayed a month and the lawn didn’t get mowed the entire time even though we complained. Bedroom was hot at times even with the fan on. Overall we liked the house and would consider staying there again, just not in the summer.

Great place just warm
Loved the house and the yard but th lack of good air cooling was less than desirable. It would have been rough with more people due to unable to shut bedroom or bathroom door

Small town feel with the accommodations that fit us
We had a great time. Our house had everything we needed and more. The location was just right-close to the beach, but far enough away. Small, adorable towns in every direction. Food trucks, outdoor food and drink, great bbq and seafood. We grilled, had camp fires. If you just want to chill, this is the place!

Cute and Clean
My husband and I came to Port St. Joe to have a nice relaxing week and this cabin was perfect for it! It's right by plenty of public beach accesses and the cabin upon arrival was very clean. It is the perfect house for a small family.
