Experience Gulf Coast in Port St. Joe, Florida

“Beautiful home! Highly recommend!”

“Pride of ownership does not exist. The host’s representative said after initial complaint that the property “…needs a really, really good deep cleaning”. The oven didn’t heat properly & needs cleaning/Tiled floors require cleaning/Tiles broken & missing from pool’s interior/Pool has mold, something black in it/Filthy pool deck needs power washing, covered with sand, caked on dirt, mold/Safety hazards included multiple electrical wall plates missing (one had wires sticking from it). Loose pickets on top deck caused gap that child could fit through, fall thirty feet/Chairs old, loose & wobbly (one chair collapsed while guest was sitting in it. Dining table wobbly/Top floor shower drain leaked onto bed & sleeping grandson below (fixed promptly)/Some tiled steps broken & loose/Black mold on shower door/Peeled paint throughout/Kitchen lacked full array of utensils, etc/One upholstered chair covered with stains. Pics on Airbnb appear enhanced. Worst beach rental in 60 years!”

“We really enjoyed our stay. The home met all our requirements, mainly a private pool and easy beach access. The walk to the beach was 5 minutes from door to shore at a leisurely pace, accessible via a private walkway in the neighborhood. The beach area directly behind the neighborhood was never crowded. Just across the street is a raised boardwalk which is the perfect place to watch the sunset. The home itself was very comfortable. We liked the multi-level design with the main living area (kitchen/living room) on the upper floor along with a bedroom and full bath. The second level had the master bedroom and bedroom 2 both with attached full bathrooms. The spacious balconies on the both levels were really nice. You can see the ocean from the top level and we enjoyed eating several meals outdoors.”

“We loved this house. So close to the beach, which was exactly what we wanted. Loved that the living and sleeping spaces were on separate floors.”

“On arrival we discovered the cleaning crew still working and when we contacted the host they told us that we were an hour early. We were not early. It was past time as the door code started working exactly on time. The host lives on central time but the property is eastern time. They apologized. Also the cleaning crew managed to mess up the elevator an it couldn’t be fixed until the next day after we carried everything to the third floor where the kitchen and the master bedroom are located. I would never have rented this place without an elevator with that configuration. The pool and bathrooms were filthy and not well maintained. It’s a nice house, nice location but poorly managed. We checked in almost two hours late but were warned multiple times about penalties for checking out late. And on check out they had no issues remembering that the property is in the EST time zone. Just not a great experience and for the rental rate we paid I will find other options on my next visit.”
