This was an amazing stay
This house was comfortable for all 8 of the people in my party. I slept in on the couch and I still enjoyed every second of it. Its also neat that there is wild life all in the complex youre in so youre see little frogs and lizards even a crab or two. Theres a lot of close beaches to the right of it and alot of groceries and business to the left. The family across from us were nice but loud. The only thing is that I recomend looking around for your places to visit theres a lot of hole in the wall places and not alot of huge tourest traps. Overall this was an amazing stay.

Relaxing family time
We stayed for 6 nights and had a wonderful time. We arrived at the end of March. The pools, although heated, were still chilly. There are many charcoal grills conviently located.Listing is accurate regarding location- we drove about an hour every time we did something.1- Extremely picky thing to mention-the teflon pans were in extremely poor condition. We chose to purchase a new one.1We areived at the end of March.

Vitamin sea is great
Vitamin sea is a beautiful 2 story home in a nice, quiet, gated community just a couple minutes drive from the bay and just a few more minutes drive to the Gulf. The community has three pools, one hot tub, and one fitness room. They are all a short walk from the home. We loved the sidewalks around the community as they were great for walking our dogs. We also really enjoyed the two screened in porches with swings and loved that we could let our dogs out with us and not worry about them escaping. We used the downstairs porch most since the upstairs porch is through one of the bedrooms. Only the upstairs kids bedroom has a TV as well as the living room, but that was okay for us. The home was big enough for our family of five adults, one toddler, and three small dogs. We loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom and there was an additional powder Room/ laundry room off of the living room. The home seemed new and decorated nicely. There are two nearby grocery stores and a good amount of restaurants and shops in downtown Port St. Joe, which was about a 5-minute drive. We ate at Hunt's on the bay one evening and got a great sunset view. We also ate at krazy fish grill, sisters bistro, the brick wall, and long bills in Cape san blas. We loved that this city was not overcrowded and touristy. Overall this was a great place to stay with my family and we would come back in the future.

Family Spring Break
Our home was very clean, and newly updated. It was only minutes from downtown Port St Joe, about 15 min from Mexico Beach and about 25 min from Cale San Blas Beach. The complex had 2 pools which were nice to let the kids wind down at after the beach. Very nice stay!!

Perfect place to get away
This house is really cute and the decor is perfect. The house was very clean and well supplied with everything we needed. The living room was very comfortable for relaxing. This is a great location to head to the beach or get to shopping and restaurants. Port StJoe is really close and Main Street is wonderful. There are lots of cute boutiques, little shops and restaurants. It feels like a street in a Halmark movie. The area is not very commercialized and quaint. We really enjoyed our stay and our host was great.
