We were familiar with Port St Joe so easily recognized how great the location of this cottage was for our activities. Reid street where many of the restaurants and stores is an easy walk and the roads to the beaches are a block away. There is also a Port City path nearby for walkers, runners, and non-motorized bikes, etc. It's in a well traveled neighborhood with nice parking on the side of the house. The inside of the home was cozy for us and met our needs well. As reflected in the documentation, it is pet and children friendly but not necessarily proofed, so recommend checking yard out for pet. Though fenced, there are some small gaps possibly created by recent storm activity and simply living adjacent to Gulf Coast (we experience the same at our own home). Our host was easy to communicate with provided needed information. WiFi worked well. We would easily stay here again.

Comfortable & Convenient

This was our first visit to Port St Joe and it was great! The cottage was fully stocked with every thing we needed to be able to relax. The photo album showing the restoration process was fascinating! Great location with an easy walk to the great restaurants in the historic downtown. Would definitely stay here again!!

Cute cottage

This property worked great for us. Loved the back yard and " happy hour" hut. Very comfortable. Very friendly neighborhood. Loved the front porch. The bike had a flat tire, would have been nice to have one but only blocks to town and nice to walk the neighborhood.

Cottage in Port St Joe

Cottage very great on inside. Very accessible to boat ramp and restaurants. We think the grass should have been mowed and backyard needed a thorough cleaning. We were not able to use the gas grill as it had not been cleaned in a while.

Precious cottage

This quaint cottage is located adjacent to downtown Port St Joe. The bay and a small park are located across a 2 lane Main Street. It is in a shaded neighborhood with similar cottages. Inside is an open design concept, with 2 bedrooms, and a bonus bunk room/office. Full bath and laundry room in the back of the house. Very comfortable and cozy. Very nice fenced in backyard for our 2 pups ! Overall, very nice stay, will go back.

Will be back!

House was perfect for our family of 3 and little 10 pound pup! We spent most of our time in the bay fishing or in the back yard with the fire pit going! Driveway is long enough for boat parking! We cooked every night at the house, had all the utensils & dishes we needed! Owner was quick to respond to all of ours questions/needs! We could walk everywhere! Less than 10 minute walk to marina, where there is a park & small walking trail. Could easily walk to the downtown area to restaurants if you want! We will definitely be back!

Very Nice

The picture shows 2 bicycles and there was only one, so useless to us. Needed to have instructions with remotes for TV. No bath soap or shampoo, lotion. It was done very nicely and we enjoyed our stay, just needed a few more amenities.

Super Satisfied!

As senior folks, we could totally appreciate the charm of this old house, but we think our grown kids and grandkids would like it too. It has been renovated and decorated beautifully and has all the conveniences you could ask for plus lots of little extra touches. We enjoyed the fire pit while steaks cooked on the grill, morning coffee on the front porch, all the utensils we needed to cook low country boil in the large kitchen, nearby restaurants as well as a great Piggly Wiggly, and the easy access public boat ramp just a few blocks away. The house was super clean (stained pillows mentioned in another review have obviously been replaced), checking in and out was super easy, and Janis was super helpful and gracious. This is not the place for those looking for excitement, but if you want a quaint, cozy cottage to relax in, this is it!

Charming but

The home is very charming. However, there are a few details you may want to know. First I never contacted the owner/manager with any issues since I didn't feel there was anything they could do before our rent term was completed. First there is no hot tub, there was only 1 bike with a flat tires, there are 2 grills - both not cleaned but the propane was empty so we used the other grill. The sink outside was flithy. Make sure if you have dogs don't let them in the outside shower area because they can easily get out going under the home. Now the main thing that was most annoying is the A/C I would set for 69/70 but wouldn't get to that until after midnight, it was 75 degrees even 79 degrees - and it was below 90 degrees outside. The futon is broken and hot in that room always. The front door lock didn't work half the time would click like it locked but you could just open the door. The bathroom when we first got there smelled like pee but, we cleaned it, problem solved - looked clean just didn't smell clean. There are pennies stuck in the washer machine - tried to get them out but, couldn't. All the mattresses in the home are very old and uncomfortable. Just know everything except the coffee maker is dated and mis-matched of dishes and silverware. (Not a big deal or deal breaker). I just wish the owner wouldn't have false advertised bikes and hot tube. Over all great location and cute home. Just needs some work outside and upgrades and check AC
