This was our first visit to Port St Joe and it was great! The cottage was fully stocked with every thing we needed to be able to relax. The photo album showing the restoration process was fascinating! Great location with an easy walk to the great restaurants in the historic downtown. Would definitely stay here again!!

Nice house within walking distance from everything!

Property was as advertised. Great location. Very nicely decorated, well stocked kitchen. Could use some updating - Beds, TV. An issue with bugs, caterpillars near end of trip.

Cottage was nice with fenced yard for fur babies. Location walking distance to shops and restaurants

Door lock a little tricky with door jam/dead bolt. Spent days on water fishing so early AM/PM use mostly. Would reserve again in future if back in area for similar type trip.

The cottage was charming and very nostalgic. It is conveniently located near historic downtown St.Port Joe and the bay side of the Gulf. Found lots of things to do in and around the area even in a rainy week. Janis is a wonderful hostess and quick to respond to any needs you might have. If you are looking for a place away from all the crowds of 30A, this is it. Great location for this unique cottage!

Great little house with a nice backyard. You can walk to just about any restaurant or store. Definitely would do it again!

Came down for a few days of fishing in St. Joe Bay. The house is close to the boat ramp in port St. Joe and conveniently located to everything in town. There was plenty of room to park my boat (20 foot) in the side driveway and backing in was easy as the street isn’t very busy. Look forward to hopefully staying here again next year.

All good

We came for my granddaughters wedding the place was just as listed it was amazing. I would definitely go back

We had a great time at this historic cottage within walking distance to downtown Port St. Joe and the beach. The property was as described and had features that truly enhanced our experience. The owner was a joy to work with and actually saved us in a pinch of miss booking. It was spacious and had a large kitchen where we cooked many of our meals. Our dogs enjoyed the large fenced in yard and chased squirrels around the fence! The front porch had a gate so we could also sit out there with our pups enclosed. The accommodation was spacious and well appointed with everything for your beach stay. Chairs, umbrellas bikes etc. The location was great for us. We could walk to downtown and browse the shops, walk the PStJ water front or walk back away from the sea to a large park and walking trail. All in all we loved the small town feel, friendly neighbors and general vibe of Port St. Joe. We explored nearby Cape San Blas, Appalachcola and Windmark beach. All different and interesting. All and all we couldn't have been happier with our accommodations and and the location. Thank you Janis for a great stay!

Our definition of a bathroom includes a flush toilet and the outside shower does not qualify. There was a musty smell throughout. The internet connection was unstable for a week. No instructions for the coffee pot and TV. You need to rent bikes because the two on the property are broken. On the plus side, within easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Decor was pleasing. A big fenced backyard.

The size and location of the cottage were perfect for my husband and I. We liked being close to the downtown area of Port St. Joe. Unfortunately, the street was very noisy (a lot of loud traffic and barking dogs). The trash inside the kitchen was full when we arrived from the previous guests and the front porch could have used a good cleaning as well. Janis was very responsive which we appreciated.

It was good

We loved our stay in the cottage! The location was perfect. Within walking distance to the bay and downtown. The kitchen was amazing and well stocked with cooking utensils, seasonings and more!

Very nice Florida cottage in a perfect location. Lots of extras like a couple of bikes, both gas and charcoal grills and fenced in backyard for the dogs. Owner was very prompt in responses and very helpful. Would 100% recommend this house!

Perfect location for trip to PSJ and area. Owner is great to deal with and communicates very well.

Great location. Close to city boat ramp and downtown. Very clean property and room to park my 21 foot boat. Walking distance to a nice park with benches to view the sunsets. Wonderful host.

The location worked well for us. It had a big enough area for the boat and it’s in a convenient area to get to the boat ramp quickly. The house had everything we need.

Cute house Very clean

We were looking for a slower pace beach town and have a senior dog so didnt want the hassle of a condo when she had to go outside. This cottage is as advertised. Loved the fenced yard , gas grill and front porch with a gate. The cottage was bright and eclectic. Very well appointed. We enjoyed our stay.

Where to start? Janis’ home surpassed our expectations!! Janis was a perfect host - easy to communicate with and available when needed. Living room was so comfortable and cozy - lots of lamps for extra lighting and ambiance. The dining room had the most amazing table, chairs and coffee station. The kitchen had well looked after/newer appliances and all the gadgets you would ever need to cook up a storm. The bedrooms were inviting, beds really comfy, lots of drawer and closet space and plenty of hangers, extra pillows, blankets, etc. The third bedroom has a futon and is set up like an office so that was really appreciated - the workspace was perfect. The back of the house has a great-sized bathroom with a huge shower as well as a well-stocked laundry area with everything you need. The backyard is huge and the patio area rustic and pleasing. The poodles had such a great time “hunting” geckos and squirrels in the yard. There is a covered, outdoor area with a sink, tables, stools, BBQ, bicycles, etc. The front porch - loved it - brought back childhood memories of sitting and watching the world go by. It is a really good size and has swinging gates to ensure that your dogs are safe. Great place to watch storms, that is until the rain drives you off the porch (LOL). Enjoyed meeting the neighbors and getting to know them. Downtown Reid street is just a block and a half away - great shops, restaurants, nice little farmer’s market every second Saturday. Beaches are a short drive away and at the end of the street, there is a small park where you can enjoy the sunset. Catty corner is a house that has a 6-foot backyard fence. If the dog scales the fence and comes over to you - he’s friendly and just tell him to go home - oh, and help him cross the street so that he is safe. His name is Archie!! Truthfully, I did not want to leave a review because I would love to be able to rent Janis’ home again in the future!!

Perfect location, right in the heart of PSJ. Comfortable home. Nice front porch great for sitting if weather is nice. Backyard cushions may benefit from storage to get out of the weather. Great trip!!

We stayed at this cute and cozy cottage and the family really liked it. The yard is fenced in and the porch has a gate so that pets stay in. We would recommend it foe long stays.

We enjoyed our stay. With a little more attention to detail, the house would be fantastic. The location is walkable to the shops and restaurants downtown and the beach. The street that the house is on is a little bit of a mixed bag—some empty dilapidated houses and some that look like long time residents. The back yard area needs some TLC. Overall, it’s a cute little house and worked for our stay.

The cottage is adorable and the yard was great for our pup! It’s a short walk to the bay and downtown port st. Joe. The beach was a short drive and so beautiful! Will definitely be back!

We enjoyed renting the cottage. The vibe was friendly and furniture was oh so comfortable - almost more like staying at a friend’s place than a vacation rental. Walking distance to all that Port St. Joe has to offer although the town could do a better job of inviting pedestrian traffic with more sidewalks, crosswalks and lighting. Close to several walking trails, the bay and a quaint downtown full of wonderful restaurants and shops. It’s just a few minutes drive in either direction along the coastline to uncrowded, sugar sand beaches. We loved the old world architecture of the cottage with modern updates that complement the original paneling and high ceilings. The front porch was my favorite spot to catch some afternoon sun and read a book. We could have stayed forever. If you like a coziness of a bed and breakfast but want more privacy, this home fits the bill perfectly. More space than we needed for just the two of us but still very romantic and perfect for a couple. Would be a great girls get away spot as well. This area is Florida on rewind. Quiet, loaded with southern charm and natural beauty. No high rises, six lane highways or theme parks here. Just the glory of ocean, sand, fresh seafood and lovely people.

The owner of this property is wonderful! Prior to our stay, the property had received a lot of rain and the owner felt bad due to some weather related things that happened and we had dinner on her one night. The property was clean and so quaint. The property looks just like the pictures.

It is a nice property and it's just as described. The beds were comfortable, backyard was nice for my little dog, the beach is not too far away. I do think that her house a monthly pest management would be helpful, but otherwise, a very cute place.
