The house was nice there were a few minor things that need tended to which I emailed the manager about when they emailed asking me for those things. My mom has mobility issues so the elevator was amazing. The view from the house is breathtaking and access to the beach couldn’t be easier. So nice and quiet in that area. We loved it. Checkin took awhile due to the key code battery being out. We had a great week. The love bugs were awful that week but they have zero control over that.

Gorgeous home and incredible stay

This home is absolutely gorgeous!! It was perfect for our family of 7. My husband and I had our own level on the top floor, which was so nice. On the 3rd level, the boys stayed in the room with the bunk beds, and the girls stayed in the other room. All of the beds were so comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with all of the pots, pans, and kitchen utensils anyone could possibly need. I note that the kitchen does not have any spices, so you will need to bring your own if you plan to cook!Being right on the beach was absolutely amazing. When we were done with the beach, the kids would play in the pool. It is small, but perfect for getting out of the sun and still being in water. There is also a Memorial right across the street that has a lovely park and pickleball court. We all had so much fun playing pickleball together and it was so convenient to just walk across the street!The home also provides for a 250 credit to VayKLife, so with that credit we rented a paddle board and an umbrella. The house already had an umbrella and beach chairs, so we were set! You should note that the credit does not apply for the delivery, so you will need to pay for that out of pocket. Still, it is an incredible deal and our family enjoyed the paddleboard every single day, so it was such a nice "extra"! If we ever visit Port Saint Joe again, we will look to see if Oak Rest Barn is available!! As a final note, we did not have any of the insect issues that the previous reviewer had!!
