This was our first time visiting Port St.Joe, which was very nice! We didn't want the busyness of Panama City, and this was just right! We enjoyed our stay at the Shellfish Cottage, which accommodated our family of 4 adults and 4 children ranging in ages 2 to 9 perfectly. Our son and his girlfriend also accompanied us during the day and there was plenty of room. The house is tastefully decorated, clean and you can see the gulf off the upstairs deck, which we enjoyed particularly in the morning with a cup of coffee or tea, discussing the fun our grandkids had in the pool each afternoon once the beach across the street was exhausted! They even enjoyed the hot tub a few short steps from the pool. The splash pad in the pool was perfect for a 2 y.o., which made it easy to relax and cool off close by. A big plus was having the extra refrigerator, sink and ice maker steps from the pool, in addition to the extra “outdoor” bathroom!
The two separate living rooms were nice for our group, especially after the kids went to bed and the adults had some down time. Having a place to do laundry was a must for us, especially with 4 little people! The kitchen had plenty of cookware and dishes, cups, utensils, no issues. I reached out to Amy twice for small issues for which she responded immediately and within a few hours issues were resolved. We recommend the Shellfish Cottage for those looking for a nice place to make memories at Port St.Joe!
