Family Get Away

This was our second year in a row staying at this property for our family vacation. When I asked the kids where they would like to go, they said "Same place as last year!" The property has plenty of room for everyone. The location is wonderful and we love that it is right on the beach. Nice clean property with plenty of linens for our family of 6. Will probably book this again for next year!

Spring break 2025

Stay was fun, house was nice, clean, great location. The only thing that would have made it a 5 is a boardwalk to the beach. Most of the other houses next door had one. The pulling of beach carts on sand was a haul!

Beautiful home right on the water!!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was better than described. It was right on the sand with just a very short walk to the water with beautiful views throughout the home. Our only negative was that the property grounds aren’t well kept. There was A LOT of trash on the lot and a long the driveway. Overall great trip!

Great house

Extremely comfortable house. Everything is clean and the house has all your needs. The area is still recovering but Port St Joe is less than 10 min away with a very complete supermarket. We were able to go horseback riding at the beach, s’mores one night and play at the beach with our dog. I would definitely recommend this place even for groups of friends or multiple families.

Overall we enjoyed our stay.

We loved the view and beaches. The elevator didn’t work which was a really big bummer because there are 3 flights of stairs to carry luggage up and down, and just daily a lot of stairs, but they did send a maintenance guy out to attempt to repair. There are some locks missing on some of the sliding doors.

House was just as expected. Clean and kitchen well equipped. Two maintenance issues which were taken care of quickly. We were pleased with our stay. Short walk to beach which was not at all crowded. Very nice house. Check in was very convenient. Only downside was biting flies and lots if mosquitos. Be prepared.

Beautiful house, Beautiful beach

After Hurricane Michael, some renovations were made to the house, but everything was as promised and absolutely beautiful. It's a short walk to the beach which is not crowded at all. The only thing we didn't like about the beach is the amount of golf carts and trucks driving on the sand - sometimes in between our tent and the water. The house is perfect for a big family or group of friends. We had kids with us, and it's a great set-up for them.

Spring Break at Scallop Pass

Fantastic recovery from the hurricane! We stayed in same unit two years ago and noted only a few minor things missing, i.e., ground level shower, fish cleaning station, and a couple of other minor things. We did call local managers for elevator assist, and some extra bed linen which they promptly supplied--THANKS. I am also thankful my boat survived the hurricane--it was in the Port St Joe Barn. Fishing was good--the family (three generations) had a great time! Joe Mc

Private vacationing / home needs a few things

The best part about this place is the private beach. The house was okay, several things were broken (the fridge shelving was missing, the icemaker, a railing, exterior door handle, the oven door didn't close all the way) The cleaning people were there 11 to 5, but there was still some areas not cleaned well (mold in the showers, hair in the bathroom drawer, fingerprints on the fridge) The decor was nice, I would have liked to see more kitchen pots & pans /larger options to assist on cooking for large groups. We had an amazing vacation here.

Family getaway

We love Port St. Joe, and aim to stay there every year. The place was exceptional. Very clean, spacious, and easy. We went straight to it with our own access code. The check-out list was the shortest I’ve ever experienced. Many places charge a huge cleaning fee then instruct you to clean before you leave, but not here. Very stress-free… including someone who picked up the trash from outside of the house. The only thing tI would say to improve upon was a few very loose banisters on the deck made a bit of an issue for young children. That being said, I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for having us!

We had a great vacation.

This is a great place for a family that enjoys an uncrowded beach experience. There were a few issues with the home that should be addressed. My wife was concerned about seeing roaches in the pantry and other areas. The grille was terrible and should be replaced and there are loose spindles on the porch railing that were worrisome for the toddler we had with us. In addition, the 360 staff did not respond to one inquiry left through VRBO and took days to respond to a second inquiry. Please consider my comments as constructive criticism because we had a great vacation at this property.
