The property was very well stocked and very clean. The fact that it was pet friendly and they provided a crate was awesome. Communication with the host was top notch. I would definitely stay here again and recommend the home to others.
We loved this house so much! Plenty of room for a family with kids. We loved the big porches and the view of the bay. Great location, clean, fully stocked with everything you will need.
We enjoyed our stay here. Close to beach,town, restaurants, shopping. Apalachicola another nice town is only 30 minutes away, Panama City about 50 minutes. House very clean. Has everything you need. Host is so nice!
Bethal was clean and tidy. Very comfortable but a bit noisy as house is very close to highway. We used both front and back screened in porchs. Could have used a more generous supply of towels. We were washing and drying supplied towels every other evening.
We had a great stay here. The property was very clean! The host was prompt with communication and helpful every step of the way. The beach on the peninsula was beautiful and not populated for a mid-April visit to the coast. The beach welcomed our dog, as does this property. Two aspects that seemed above and beyond what we've experienced elsewhere were the beds and the kitchen knives. The beds were fantastic - all of them! And the knives were nice and sharp and made us want to pick up the same brand when ours are ready to be replaced. Overall, a great choice for a family of 5 dog vacation!
The owners really consider everything you should need with this property. It was clean, stocked, and easy to relax. Just a short drive to the Cape. The location is very convenient. The house was well decorated and beautiful
Great sunsets from the porch and short drive to beach. Plenty of room and good supply of items needed for cooking. Good communications I would recommend.
This home is very spacious and met our needs perfectly. Centrally located to Port St Joe, Apalachicola, Cape San Blas and Indian Pass.
The owner was very responsive to our questions.
Would definitely stay again!!
We loved our stay! The location is perfect. You have close access to Port St. Joe, the Cape, and Apalachicola. It easily housed two center console boats plus an extra car. The home was very clean, spacious, and provided all amenities needed. Though we brought our own, there was a dog kennel provided which I really liked. The views on the back and front porch were great! You can watch the sun rise and set each day. The yard had zero ants so no worries for your feet or fur babies.
We really enjoyed our stay. It was close enough to to some nice beaches. Only thing that kinda stun was WiFi but being where it’s located it can’t be helped. Karisa was amazing to deal with.
Was not expecting the amenities for dogs...including a crate and bowls (just in case we forgot)! We could even take our fur baby to the beach on a leash! Great location for finding good food in Port St. Joe, and great beach withing a few miles! Would highly recommend for pet owners!
We had a great, short stay! Karisa was very prompt with communication and was just a text away if we needed her. The house was wonderful, clean, and the beds were very comfortable. I have back problems, so the beds are always the first thing I notice =) Our pup had a great time, as well!
Karisa is an excellent host--from reaching out to let us know we could check in early, to providing a clean, comfortable place (complete with large screened porches) to come home to in the evenings
We have made several trips from north Alabama to Port St. Joe recently due to family business, and this property is by far the most inviting, clean, and comfortable place we have found.
We highly recommend this charming cottage which is near to downtown Port St. Joe as well as a short drive to the beach at Cape San Blas.
Beautiful house and so inviting. We wanted to move in. Most comfortable furniture in every room.
You will not be disappointed staying here. The living room furniture and the beds were the best in over twenty years of renting in the area. The sunsets from the front porch were awesome and the wildlife noises from the natural settings at night were mesmerizing. There is everything in the kitchen you need to cook whatever you desire and it was just an awesome experience. Thank you Karissa for sharing your house and being an awesome host!
We were really pleased with everything! The owners have everything there that you need, including beach towels to use! It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable! The owner was very easy to communicate with and even gave us suggestions. One of things we enjoyed was that is wasn’t in the busy area, other than being on the highway which made for a little noise. That is a tiny thing compared to how nice it was! I would recommend this place to anyone!
