Property had to be 'gulf shoreline', close to provisions and eateries, easy gulf access, well appointed. The 'Joyful Bungalow' met all of those needs.Rounding the bend on the cape, our selection was easily identified...color scheme is unique.A very pleasant stay. ##### Patricia W. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Barry W. 4 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hurricane bump Overall we enjoyed our stay. A few minor issues but overall the location and Joyful Bungalow was a great place to stay. The staff worked with us fully when we had to pack up and leave because of the hurricane evacuation and was able to return a day later. Prepare for flies outside and it will be better. ##### Barry W.
