The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The stay at the beach bear was amazing. It accommodates 10 people very well. Being close to the beach was nice with the short walk. The pool was amazing to wind down at the end of the day. Having an elevator was a huge bonus to get all of our luggage and groceries upstairs. All in was an excellent stay. ##### Nathan P.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house, thought of everything. Great location to the beach and the kids really enjoyed the pool. The only issue that we had and management was very carrying about it was with some very small ants on the counter tops. If we decide to come back to St. Port Joe, we would definitely check this place out again. ##### Terry R. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Coconut-Point-Resort-Spa.h792025.Hotel-Information) > > [Streamline Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Streamline-Hotel.h17491689.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Grand Key - Key West](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Grand-Key-Key-West.h470834.Hotel-Information) > > [New tiny house available in the country on a 5 acre motocross track MX](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myakka-City-Hotels-New-Tiny-House-Available-In-The-Country-On-A-5-Acre-Motocross-Track-MX.h35668895.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h12537.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Key Largo Manatee Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Key-Largo-Manatee-Bay.h5731.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Pointe Suites at Key Largo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavernier-Hotels-Ocean-Pointe-Suites-At-Key-Largo.h5502.Hotel-Information) > > [The Resort at Longboat Key Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarasota-Hotels-The-Resort-At-Longboat-Key-Club.h27542.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Island Luxury | Home in Windsor Island Resort, Private Pool, Arcade](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Davenport-Hotels-Windsor-Island-Luxury-NEW-Home-In-Windsor-Island-Resort.h60809096.Hotel-Information) > > [Inn On The Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sebring-Hotels-Inn-On-The-Lakes.h2717560.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach House Key West](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-House-Key-West.h48713884.Hotel-Information) > > [Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Pink-Shell-Beach-Resort-And-Marina.h15603.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantic Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavernier-Hotels-Atlantic-Bay-Resort.h2841625.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information) > > [Shorewalk Vacation Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarasota-Hotels-Shorewalk-Vacation-Villas.h13316.Hotel-Information) > > [Stunning 6 Bedroom Villa on Solterra Resort - pool overlooking conservation area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Stunning-6-Bedroom-Villa-In-Solterra-Resort-Lazy-River-Now-Open.h25169903.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Beach-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Palm-Beach.h20271.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Tranquility Bay Beachfront Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Tranquility-Bay-Beachfront-Hotel-And-Resort.h117099.Hotel-Information) > > [Rod And Gun Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-Rod-And-Gun-Club.h13279263.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Club I Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarasota-Hotels-Sea-Club-I-Beach-Resort.h8109251.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Cocoa Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Cocoa-Beach.h1210926.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Baker's Cay Resort Key Largo, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Bakers-Cay-Resort-Key-Largo.h14042.Hotel-Information) > > [Dockside Inn & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vero-Beach-Hotels-Dockside-Inn-Resort.h1837964.Hotel-Information) > > [Tortuga Inn Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarasota-Hotels-Tortuga-Inn-Beach-Resort.h1054101.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information)
