Beachfront paradise
Right ono the beach! Quiet, secluded with private boardwalk to an almost private beach. Old school charm with fully stocked (looks like new) kitchen. Comfy , new looking, furniture. Midway between Port St Joe and Appalachicola if you want to eat out or go grocery shopping. Our fav!

The waves of St Joe's
This was an absolute marvelous stay, having access right out to the beach could not have been better. The house was great and served us well, but is well worn and could use some basic feature updates. We would stay again but I'd try to negotiate a better rate.

We loved it!
The home is in a great location, right on the beach. The bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen and bathrooms were spotlessly clean when we arrived. We have stayed next door at As Pelicans Pass, and this home has the same layout although slightly smaller. We liked the outdoor shower, for washing off after being on the beach. One thing about this house is that you have to go outside and down the stairs to access the washer and dryer. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have already made reservations for next year!

Peaceful week
The location of this home could not be any better. Only steps to the sand and ocean, on a private boardwalk. Everything was clean and functional, although a little dated. Had a wonderful week with family!

Delightful
Well appointed, comfortable and pet friendly. The beds were perfect for us. We enjoyed the one floor, only stairs are to the front door. Laundry room down stairs where car is parked, no access from inside the house, but that is ok. Shower outside and boardwalk to the beach was just a very short walk. Will stay again.

The good, the bad and the magical
So many thoughts. The good: comfortable bed and chairs, great view, quiet, beautiful, dog beach. The bad: a/c didn’t work. I took a pic of the a/c turned to 72 degrees and the temp in the house was 82 degrees. It was difficult to sleep. The lock on the door was many digits and had to be put in every time we unlocked the door. It was difficult to lock the door. I suggest reading the manual for The door lock b4 staying. We were very frustrated. I tried calling Vacasa and instead had to listen to advertisements . The ceiling fans worked but only when the lights were on. No large garbage bag so we used the small bathroom bags so had 3 bags when we were done which was unwieldy. No keurig and no coffee filters, so bring filters and coffee. No tissues, no usb ports so had to alternate all my chargers. The magical: so peaceful and uniquely remote. Phenomenal dog friendly beach, private, great porch overlooking the water w many comfortable chairs. Such a mixed bag of feelings but overall a good place that could be great.

Note below is for the owner of this home:
Our Stay There were a couple of issues with our stay I would like to share. 1 When we first arrived we had trouble entering. 1st, it’s a 9 digit code, too long in my opinion. But on top of that the instructions were for a Yale lock, this home has a Schlage lock. We struggled with that (thought about calling for a key) and finally went thru the VRBO/Vacasa app for confirmation on how to operate it. Shouldn’t have to jump thru hoops just to enter. 2. Then there was the refrigerator delivery. We get a text stating, literally, FYI, a fridge will be delivered on 2/20. To the driveway? Into the home? Rob called and talked to a Vacasa rep about this and yes, in fact the fridge would be switched out. A rep would meet the delivery and we could be there or not. This in itself is intrusive. Do we schedule the 4 hour window to be here and move our own food? Do we put it in coolers? The appx $1600 in Vacasa fees are paid for these exact things not to happen. It got a little worse. On Tuesday I got two missed calls and a text regarding this fridge. This is the text: Fridge guy is 15 away. I’m more than 15 minutes away. Is the door open. I’m on Mexico Beach. He was supposed to call 30 mins before I am not a coworker of this person. There was a 4 hour window, 12-4, and a Vacasa rep should have been here waiting in the driveway for the delivery, period. No one from Vacasa ever showed. We were on the beach, Rob happened to go up to the house and saw a delivery truck. He let them in, h

HORRIBLE
We arrived on Christmas Eve, to spend our Christmas week vacation on the beach, to broken water pipes spewing water everywhere. We immediately called Vacasa to get the issue resolved. Well, that didn't happen. Not for 4 days. The outside shower was also spewing water. It was so bad the neighbors, who are owners, were complaining. Then we discover the Vacasa rental neighbors on the other side also had broken pipes and water spewing everywhere for days. We had no water pressure in the house. We sucked it up and decided not to let this ruin our Christmas and made do with what we could. We ended up having to make 3 more phone calls, the neighbors called, even someone from the city stopped by, but nothing happened. We asked Vacasa to place us somewhere else, they denied. They have yet to step up and make this right. They all said, and acted like this would be resolved quickly, it was not. I realize it was the holiday but seriously 2 houses spewing so much water it's flowing down the street should not have been ignored. I have rented from many different rental companies across the US this is the worst. Cleanliness was not up to par. Dirty floors, bathroom sinks don't drain, the toilet runs in bathroom 2, I could go on and on. Don't think I will trust Vacasa again and certainly will never recommend. Sorry Vacasa, you need to do way better than this.

Your own private beach!
This house worked perfect for our family of 5. We stayed a week and everyday was like stepping out on our own private beach. Beach access was easy.. with a private boardwalk straight out from the house to the beach. It made hauling all the beach gear a very simple walk. House was well stocked with cooking utensils, A/C worked great as did all appliances. Our family would definitely stay at this home again and should we ever decide to bring along more family or friends the house right next door is exactly the same and owned by the same owners/property management.
