A Home That Elevates the Everyday
From the moment you enter, you’re greeted by sun-drenched interiors, warm hardwood floors, and a beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen with quartz countertops, high-end appliances, and a generous island perfect for gathering. The open-concept layout seamlessly flows from the gourmet kitchen and elegant dining area to the spacious living room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the dazzling Gulf beyond.
Step through the glass doors and onto the main deck to discover your private oasis: an elevated pool perched just above the dunes, offering unobstructed views of the horizon — pure magic, day or night.

Our family absolutely loved this home for our summer family vacation. Wonderful house, layout for everyone to have their own area but yet big open spaces for everyone to convene together. Love the private pool just off the family area. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Easy beach access.My only suggestion would be to have more bathroom towels and washcloths available in each bathroom. We had to wash laundry several times during our stay due to the limited washcloths and towels for bathrooms. Otherwise, we would absolutely stay here again!

Amazing stay
Property was exactly what was listed - Marissa was also an amazing host. We were able to enjoy the pool and the beach and were close to some really cute local restaurants and the park where you can horseback ride on the beach. The home was perfect to two families to relax and unplug for a week.

Fabulous stay!
We so enjoyed our stay at Amalfi beach house and would definitely recommend. The house itself was beautiful and had plenty of room for our family of 6. The home was beautifully situated on a serene beach and was fully equipped with everything you might need. My only gripe was the coffee maker….in bad need of an update. We would definitely stay here again. The management was also very responsive

BEACH
Our group of friends recently spent a week at this incredible beachfront house in Port St. Joe, Florida, and it was an unforgettable experience. The location was perfect, right on the beach with a beautiful pool that quickly became our favorite hangout spot.
We loved cooking and sharing dinners together like a big family. Each night, we would gather around a beach bonfire, creating memories that will last a lifetime. During the day, we balanced our time between the pool, suntanning, and the beach. The long walks on the boardwalk from the house to the pool were serene and picturesque. We also got creative with our activities, playing hide and seek and turning each bedroom into a different nation. Let's just say, some of us discovered we have hidden talents for certain sports that involve small balls and creative courses.
Evenings were filled with laughter as we hosted game nights and even went bar hopping with a local character who showed us the town’s hidden gems. Our dog was in heaven, enjoying swims in the ocean and runs along the sandy beach. One of the highlights of our stay was discovering bioluminescent algae along the shoreline one night – it was like something out of a dream!
This house truly has everything you need for a fun, relaxing, and unique vacation. We can't wait to come back and create more amazing memories here.

Helpfulness
The heated pool in our original rental was broken. The property manager told us we could use the pool several houses down if we wanted to. I asked if we could move there. She said yes, if we were sure we didn’t mind packing up and moving? It was an annoying thing to have to do, but for our little ones the heated pool was a must have. We are so glad we made the effort to move. We had a great time in this beautiful house. The property manager was really helpful with every question or need we had. She even refunded us the cost of the heated pool and dropped off morning doughnuts! Our family will definitely book here again!

Fabulous Home- Amazing Manager and Owner
We had 3 families stay at this gorgeous home. It was huge, decorated like a magazine and had everything we needed. Well stocked kitchen, heated pool, great mattresses, huge bunk room. The location was awesome too. When we had an issue with hot water, we had exceptional communication with the manager and the owner of the home even came over to assist. They wanted to make sure we had a wonderful time and we did! I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great house for a large group!
This house is perfect for the large group looking to spend time at the beach! The rooms are a great size and the bunk room is a wonderful option for kids. We traveled with 5 couples and 6 kids under 3. The main floor provides enough space to spend time all together and the outdoor space with the pool is ideal.
The area doesn’t have much nearby (walking distance) and the grocery store is a 15-20 min drive, but we weren’t looking to leave the house.
Marissa was super responsive and a perfect host! You can’t beat being on the beach and having the pool as well. We’d love to come back!

We had the best family vacation here! Plenty of room for all of us and having a pool brought hours of entertainment since there were double red flags our entire stay. The host was incredibly responsive to any of our needs and went above and beyond by even helping me find a doctor for my children. I would recommend this property! It can easily accommodate multiple families with plenty of room to spread out. We would love to stay there again during our next trip to Cape San Blas.
