Beach House - Sun-Kissed Cottage

The cottage is cute and in a good location. Walking distance to beach. Only negative, was lots of bugs dead and alive. Found a roach in bed. We rented last minute in attempt to be far enough east of hurricane Isaias. Storm changed paths which happens. Bay County recommended evacuation due to storm surge and high wind advisory. The cottage is low lying and small and we were unsure how it would fare in a storm. Rather than risk our lives, we decided to leave early. We contacted the host and Air Bnb with hopes of obtaining a partial refund so that we could evacuate while frantically trying to locate a safe place to go to either weather the storm or fly out. All 3 airports in the area were closed. The host was very inconsiderate. Refused refund. Air Bnb said there were not major threats in the area. We sent screenshots of the multiple National Weather Service advisories and unfortunately noone would help us. It was both scary and frustrating.

Jennifer, thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad the cottage’s location and walkability to the beach were positives, and we’re sorry the bugs affected your stay. We also understand how stressful it can be to make travel decisions during a storm and are sorry this situation added to that stress. Your feedback has been shared with the appropriate team for review. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention.

Perfect little getaway house, walkable to the beach and very clean! My family of 4 had plenty of space and the neighborhood was very quiet and relaxing even on Labor Day weekend! We’d most definitely come back!

I LOVE SUN-KISSED COTTAGE, the cottage is beautifully designed and decorated. The LOCATION to the Beach is only steps away, dollar store, gas, everything is right there. The cottage is perfect for a couples retreat, quiet and stocked well with everything you need. The short drive to Downtown Port St. Joe and the new Marina makes this a winner! Parking has room for your Fishing boat, Nice outside grilling area with table and chairs, porch and outside shower. 2- minutes to Mexico Beach, I LOVE the beautiful BEACHES. ,

The sun kissed cottage was a wonderful relaxing vacation. You can walk to the beach in five minutes. It’s a quiet beach if you’re looking for a vacation away from all the hustle and bustle of the tourists. This is a place for you. The host was very responsive and in touch with us all throughout our stay the cottage itself was immaculate and had everything you need. Sheets and towels were soft and clean smelling. Beds were super comfortable. It’s a short drive to Port St Joe’s downtown area with restaurants and shops. I definitely recommend the Sunkist cottage for your quiet, peaceful, relaxing vacation.
