We had a wonderful stay! The home was excellent for our family with little ones. The pool and proximity to the beach made it so easy to pop back for lunch or naps. The elevator was also a huge convenience for getting things in and out.Our only recommendation would be to add another side rail to the top bunk in the 3rd-floor bunk room. I’m sure older kids or teens have no problem, but for younger ones it would provide extra peace of mind. An awesome future upgrade for families who want everyone close to the master bedroom would be 2 sets of built-in bunks in that room.Overall, an amazing stay — we will absolutely come back!

Very relaxing. Nice place for family fun.
This home was absolutely beautiful and comfortable to stay in. The elevator was very helpful, especially for one of my kiddos recovering from knee surgery. Rocco’s Retreat offers the perfect location into town as well as the priceless views.
Beautiful home in a great location! Our family really enjoyed our time at Rocco's Retreat.

Great property! Location was great, close to the beach. Home and kitchen well stocked with all your needs. Check in says 4, but management says 4-5:30, and they text you when it is ready. Ours was ready by 4:15. Check in process and check out was great.

Our family frequents Florida beaches often. I would have to say this was a special experience. Having a heated pool in the winter and a fire pit at night. You can also ride horseback on the beach and have a fire on the beach! We also didn’t have to pack any beach chairs, umbrella or carts because they have it all provided!! Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with our family!
Booking, check-in, communication, arrival and checkout all flawless. Bikes were delivered to the home before we arrived and were a great addition for morning & nightly rides. Recommend the boardwalk trail to the marsh on the bike ride! House was just as described, absolutely breathtaking views, perfect separate areas to sit and relax. Screened in porch was perfect for Bfast, lunch and relaxing at nights!! We didn’t use the fire pit but it’s a great addition. BBQ down the street was excellent! Port St Joe for lunch at Peppers. Dinner at Brickwall. Both had great food & service. If you want a true Florida get away to relax this is the place for you!!

Nice house, good ocean views, pool and elevator a plus. We love every minute of our week long vacations. Cape San Blas, FL has the best beaches in the Gulf of Mexico. No grocery stores, no fast food.

We had an amazing week! The home was immaculate, spacious, and efficient. The elevator came in useful as I had just broken my leg 2 weeks before vacation, and it was a life-saver! The pool was the BEST amenity as well as the ice machine! Love Rocco's Retreat!

We had a fantastic stay at Rocco's Retreat! We were 6 adults and 2 kids in total. The house was perfect size for everyone to have their own space. We spent most of our time outside but the kitchen/living room and screened porch were perfect for gathering. The house was clean and well decorated. Everyone loved having their own bathrooms. The pool area was super nice and perfect for young kids. Proximity to the beach was awesome and made for easy back and forth. The area is quiet which was nice a nice change as we normally go to Seacrest Beach on 30A but wanted to switch is up! We will definitely return.
Outstanding Private and quiet location. The house is luxurious and very well thought out. The pool is excellent and made for the best vacation I have ever been on.
We had the best time. House was clean, and very comfortable for our family. Thank you for opening your home to us.

We had a great time. Look forward to coming back soon.
House was amazing. The location was convenient to Port St Joe where we had several good meals. The beach was beautiful. It was too cold to enjoy the pool but it was the perfect size and very clean. I would recommend this house unreservedly.
Great communication with property management. Immediately solved issues with getting into the house after a planned late arrival and plumbing issues were fixed by Monday morning. Essentially private beach with beautiful water and sand and full of wildlife and shells. Fire pit was great with comfortable chairs and pool was perfect and refreshing. Great water views from every room. Great working kitchen and grill and we prepared delicious fresh seafood from the local market. Port St Joe restaurants were very crowded with long wait times. Beds were a little soft but comfortable and every room had a nice bathroom. Did not prefer the open shower in the master though. Air conditioning is ice cold and water pressure throughout the home was adequate. Great TVs in every room with YouTube TV. Elevator worked perfectly and was a huge bonus! Tons of parking space with easy access to elevator. Huge porch with sitting and eating areas while listening to the waves. Home is in between two other water front homes without pools which made the pool area more private. Overall very quiet and relaxing stay. We would stay here again.
Overall the property was great. However a patio dining table and chairs would have suited us a little better than just lounge chairs as we could have had meals and played cards on the patio if that had been there. We did have one issue with the 3rd level not being screened in as a Bat entered one of the rooms when a door was left open for a brief period. Luckily we were able to get it out rather easily but he was a frequent visitor to that 3rd floor balcony throughout the rest of the stay.

Reviewer Comments:
This is a beautiful property and it was our second visit. The home does not allow pets. That makes us happy to stay there due to allergies. However, this time we stayed the home had an odor of wet dog and the property management's solution for the problem was demeaning and unsatisfactory.
Our family recently stayed at Rocco’s Retreat. Overall, it was a spacious & private getaway that met our needs well. The location was stunning, sunsets were absolutely breathtaking, & the views from the property were serene. We enjoyed the sense of luxury, the open layout, & that it easily accommodated our whole family. Outdoor water sources made for easy rinsing. Check-in was smooth. The kitchen had a good selection of cookware & utensils, though we did find that some pots & pans needed extra scrubbing before use, likely from previous guests (part of checkout).While the property itself was beautiful, we did encounter some maintenance issues in the master bathroom. The toilet was loose/rocked each time it was used, the drain was clogged, & the bathtub was dirty, did not plug, & none of the features worked. Maintenance was responsive in bringing a new plug/clearing the sink drain, but we were told the toilet could not be fixed until after our stay. Thankfully, with just our family, we could share the other restrooms.One thing to note is that the maintenance person arrived without prior notice the first time. On subsequent visits only gave a 5–10 minute heads-up. We were told he was the only maintenance person working, which may explain the delays.Despite these inconveniences, the peaceful location, privacy, & amenities like the pool, & beautiful views made it a relaxing stay. With a few updates & more attention to cleanliness, Rocco Retreat could be truly exceptional.
