Our family had an amazing long weekend at the Mini Pearl. It was an absolutely adorable beach home that was clean, well equipped and beautifully decorated. The host were quick to respond and accommodating when we had an emergency come up before our trip and we are so glad we were still able to come enjoy their beach cottage. It was a quick walk to the beach, restaurants and dollar general. Thank you so much Jeff and Sally for allowing us to make beach memories with our family at your property. Can’t wait to return! Picture is of the gorgeous beach at the end of the street. It was a beautiful Sunday in mid July, so peaceful and uncrowded!

We had a wonderful two week stay at the Mini Pearl. The house was the perfect size for my husband and me and our two dogs. It was clean and comfortable. The king sized bed was nice and comfortable. The kitchen had plenty of counter space and had plenty of pots & pans and various plates, mugs and glasses. The couch was comfy and the blankets were nice and cozy. I absolutely loved the screened in porch. I spent a lot of time reading out there. We brought dog beds for each of our dogs and they were happy with the accommodations tooThe host had some really nice extras that I appreciated: There were tea bags for my husband; Keurig cups for me and a few pouches of hot chocolate that were perfect for the couple of days of low temperatures. The kitchen was fully stocked and there were spices that you don't usually find in a rental home. The host provided tissues. I hate using toilet paper to wipe my nose but a lot of rentals don't provide tissues. The outdoor shower had hot and cold water. It was so nice to rinse off our feet or the dogs of sand and not have to deal with freezing cold water.The beach was a short one and a half block walk away and it was dog friendly. This was the first trip to the beach for our dogs and they enjoyed all the new sniffs.Over the years, we have stayed in a number of rental homes. The Mini Pearl has been one of the best. It's small, so it really wouldn't fit our family, but for a newly retired couple checking out the snowbird scene, it was perfect.

So I want to start off with Sally and Jeff was amazing host! They accommodated our situation and my family thanks you and will always be grateful for it! This house will always hold a special place in our hearts , we got to bring our dog Meech who has cancer. This was his 3rd time to this area and a great trip for our family . The house was in a super quiet neighborhood, the loudest thing was the frogs after a good rain.the drive way was super nice and big. Was easy to back up to the doors and unload groceries and bags. My daughter (5years old) absolutely loved the bunk beds, the Tv in the bottom bunk was a major hit with her . She wanted to spend her time in that room. The house was super clean , had plenty of blankets and towels for us. The couch was extra comfy for lounging and watching movies . The bed was comfy and slept really well! There was a ton of books on the self, and my wife found her one right off and enjoyed it during down time! The Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking , Even had taco seasoning for the save of the day when we forgot some at the Piggly wiggly! So thanks for the extra spices on hand! The outdoor shower was a must after having a day at the beach , made getting the sand off super easy! The house at the front of the house also made it nice to wash off chairs and beach toys after a day at the beach . The front porch was nice for morning or rainy times of the day, very relaxing and kept the bugs off us. We didn’t use the back porch table but would be a great area to eat a meal. The washer and dryer was a major plus , not having to hunt for a laundry mat was great . All in all, this is one of the best houses we have stayed at in this area. It’s a short walk or drive to the beach, where you can park and walk down. Plus short drive to gas station or dollar store for items needed. The piggly wiggly and any of the shops or eating in Port St. Joe is a super short drive too. I would recommend going out to the Cape for Ice cream at Perry’s, it was delicious, and the cape has great areas to pull off , or go into the State park. The only complaint we have about this place , is we didn’t stay longer ! I had to promise my daughter we would stay at this house again. So if your looking for a quite, amazing , relaxing place to stay , this is your house!!
