We had our annual family vacation at Lazy Lou and it was great! The house was very clean and in a great/quiet location. We love the Port St Joe, FL and this house is close enough to the beach that we had no problem loading up and taking the kids every day. It slept all nine of us comfortably.

It was a very nice stay. Beds were very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Screened in porches were very nice. It was much enjoyed by part of our party. The other part couldn't make it due to a visit by Hurricane Milton and not being able to travel. We will have to plan a future trip for our friends' reunion.

Overall our stay was great. The house was exactly as listed, great location within the neighborhood and to the beach. Everything was clean, beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen was stocked with all the commonly used appliances and utensils. Check in was a bit of a headache because the gate code didnt work which left us stuck at the gate with a line of cars behind us. We attempted to contact the host several times that night via the phone number listed and through Vrbo with no response until the next morning. This was a huge inconvenience for us as well as the other family who was staying as well.
