Sweet Serenity

First time visiting; hopefully not the last. Loved everything about this property. We had to evacuate for 1 day in the middle of the trip bc of Idalia, but we were able to return promptly. I would definitely recommend this house and the property management company.

Location is great

From the moment of arrival, we walked in and the house smelled really bad. You get used to it while in there but every time you leave and come back it's there again and our suitcases smelled that way when we got back home. The house was not cleaned very well either. Also, the thermostat was set to go no lower than 72 degrees and that was a problem for us all. The lowest we could get them to turn it down to was 70. Other than that it was good.

Private and quiet

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is definitely for those who do not like the crowded tourist spots. We decided to go out to dinner each night to eat locally. We cooked breakfast and lunch in, and the kitchen is well-stocked with pots, pans, cooking utensils, etc. The town is 15-20 min drive. That means groceries and such need to be planned out. We rented 4 bikes but didn't use them once because the bike trail is not as close as I thought. There are very few people on the beach, which we loved! NOTE: This property has only ONE bedroom in the main house (the spacious master). The other 3 are across "the hall." You open the front door, and the other room is there along with a "beach bar" room. The other 2 rooms are located upstairs, outside. Would be great for older couples and privacy (two share a jack-and-jill bathroom). I will say one thing we were ALL disappointed with: The whole "special cleaning for COVID" may not be so true. We had to literally clean food crumbs off of the bar and the table out back. The dishwasher outside was filthy, with spills and general stains that should've been sparkling clean for what we paid/expect. VERY weak WiFi, too. The instructions for logging in were very unclear, but once we emailed the mgmt company, we were able to log on. In general, that area of FL has weak Internet, so if you work on vacation, be prepared! Would be a 5-Star if cleaning was 100% and better WiFi. It is a gorgeous property!!!!!

Most amazing house we have ever rented for a couples vacation.

Beautiful home with so much privacy for each couple. Not your ordinary rental where you can hear each other talking in the next room. Would recommend to anyone traveling to Indian Pass as a couples vacation or family vacation.

Beach vacay with family

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful beach home. Perfect layout if combining families to have some privacy. Nice big and open layout. Beautiful decor and great seating for family dinners and hangouts. If you like a fan when you sleep you may want to pack a portable fan to run, but overall wonderful stay and great experience.

The perfect getaway!

This place is absolutely beautiful! Love the layout and the home has all the right amenities. The location listed as beachfront isn't stated enough, you open the front door and out in front of you is the beautiful ocean and beach. You can't get any closer to the beach and water than this home. We would definitely stay here again. Perfect home A+A+

Far from the madding crowd

If crowds and traffic are your thing then this is not the place for you. This beach-front house is good for a group of friends or extended family. Three separate sleeping areas offer privacy and the living area is large and comfortable. The community pool is a nice extra.

Beautiful and Relaxing

This is a lovely property and very well maintained. The beach is quiet with wildlife being protected. It is a short drive into town if you want restaurants and nightlife. The mgmt staff were terrific and responsive. Take note of the unusual layout though which would not be good if you have young children. It is fine for older teenagers though. The privacy issue with the windows in the bathrooms was the only concern. Otherwise, we highly recommend this home!

THE HULA MATULA!

Great place to stay. The beach is terrific. If you're looking for a quite location, this is your place. If you want to go out, there are many places in Port St. Joe and Apalachicola and it's a short drive away. We had several cook outs with fresh seafood purchased just down the road. Just absolutely terrific. There's was a free Dolphin show behind the house almost everyday. As for cons, there's only one, please trim the palm tree by the board walk leading to the beach, it's a bit in the way. Also buy or bring insect repellent, the mosquitos are thick!

Nice quiet beach, unusual house layout

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We we first walked into the house we were amazed by just how beautiful, the main living area truly is, pictures do not do it justice. From there, this is where a bit of panic set in for us. We had read the details stating 3 of the bedrooms and the media room were across the outdoor porch, which we mistakenly assumed these other rooms were all connected amongst them selves by some type of interior hall or stairs, they are not. If you really want separation from the other guest this house definitely has more of an Inn feel as you must go outside to get in any of the room. I highly recommend the management company reach out to anyone who books with children, confirming they understand the layout. We also agree with other reviewers stating there needs to be a TV in the main living area, as the media room is too cramped, for everyone. If you are planning to work remote from here the wifi, is not great, and cell service is spotty. But the quiet beach is right out your door.

Immaculate!

This was by far the cleanest VRBO that we have ever rented. The location is perfect for a laid back visit to the beach - right between Apalachicola and Port St. Joe, with just a few houses around you. The kitchen was wonderfully appointed with everything you need. We loved the layout of the separation of the bedrooms, it gave everyone some privacy while allowing everyone to be able to come together in the great room and around the dining table. The decks were perfect, and the beach was awesome. The only real complaint we had about the property is the Wifi, it was very spotty and sometimes just non-existent. Made doing some work from there difficult at times. You can indeed see into the master bathroom if the light is on, which is a little awkward if showering at night. But those are just minor issues, and I wouldn't hesitate to rent this place again. I only wish we had booked it for more than a week! We'll definitely be back!

Quiet beach and beautiful hous

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked Hula Matula for 2 weeks and then ended up staying an extra week as we enjoyed working and playing while it was freezing back home. The house is very well decorated and very functional. We quickly learned to appreciate the split nature of the main house from the other bedrooms and tv room. Kitchen is well equipped and user friendly for cooking. Let me say that we would definitely return before I offer a few issues. The internet is brutal. When it worked, it was slow and buffered / dropped out for minutes constantly. There are smart tv’s in the house and with just that tv trying to stream it often wouldn’t work. We did lose service for a couple days and the provider had to come out. I understand this area might not have many options but it is poor. The area post hurricane does have some good 5G cell coverage. AT&T coverage at the house is also mediocre. I had to drive down to the end of the point or closer into town for good coverage. Verizon is likely better here. Other issue was that the pictures of the house prominently show a roaring fireplace! Renters are not allowed to use the fireplaces. I would suggest not showing the fireplace on in the pics and making that clear in the description. Still, we loved the house and want to return to the area again.

Fantastic family vacation!

With the exception of the sudden development of Tropical Storm Nester that caused us to cut our trip short by a day this family vacation will be difficult to eclipse. The house is amazing (once you get used to the layout), and the convenience to the beach, and immaculate views make it difficult to beat. This was our first trip to Port St Joe-Indian Pass area, but will not be our last.

Would Stay Again!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great vacation!! The house is unbelievable! It was very clean. Loved all the appliances. All the doors (rooms) were nice for our 2 families. We never woke each other up. We would recommend ceiling fans in the rooms and a TV in the living room. The media room TV was great but it was cramped for 8 people. Cape & Coast were awesome. We needed 2 things while we were there and they responded immediately. The only we had was the ocean water which I don't think anyone can control. :-)
