Great vacation home w/minor issues

Arriving on check in day, we were unable to get into the house since the keypad batteries were dead. Pool had rocks & broken seashells at the bottom, and appeared the pool was not filtering properly. You have to pay extra for pool heat (was not stated anywhere on listing or contract). Once we were finally able to reach the management of the rental company things were fixed quickly & were able to enjoy the house. I recommend

Great Retreat!

My family and I stayed at Shellfish Cottage for Spring Break and had a wonderful time. The weather was cooler at night and some days but the pool stayed warm and we enjoyed it every day. The outdoor space here is so great! It’s the ideal spot for lounging and grilling and just hanging outside. Beach access is literally across the street and you can even watch the sunset from the front balcony. Port St. Joe is quieter than most of 30A and provided the best retreat. The house was well stocked, clean, and comfortable. We would not hesitate to stay again.
