Spring Break Getaway

This home was absolutely beautiful and comfortable to stay in. The elevator was very helpful, especially for one of my kiddos recovering from knee surgery. Rocco’s Retreat offers the perfect location into town as well as the priceless views.

Absolutely gorgeous home!!

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: Our family frequents Florida beaches often. I would have to say this was a special experience. Having a heated pool in the winter and a fire pit at night. You can also ride horseback on the beach and have a fire on the beach! We also didn’t have to pack any beach chairs, umbrella or carts because they have it all provided!! Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with our family!

First time at Cape San Blad

House was amazing. The location was convenient to Port St Joe where we had several good meals. The beach was beautiful. It was too cold to enjoy the pool but it was the perfect size and very clean. I would recommend this house unreservedly.

Amazing home

Great property! Location was great, close to the beach. Home and kitchen well stocked with all your needs. Check in says 4, but management says 4-5:30, and they text you when it is ready. Ours was ready by 4:15. Check in process and check out was great.

Perfect wknd getaway!

Booking, check-in, communication, arrival and checkout all flawless. Bikes were delivered to the home before we arrived and were a great addition for morning & nightly rides. Recommend the boardwalk trail to the marsh on the bike ride! House was just as described, absolutely breathtaking views, perfect separate areas to sit and relax. Screened in porch was perfect for Bfast, lunch and relaxing at nights!! We didn’t use the fire pit but it’s a great addition. BBQ down the street was excellent! Port St Joe for lunch at Peppers. Dinner at Brickwall. Both had great food & service. If you want a true Florida get away to relax this is the place for you!!

Great house with management problems.

We really enjoyed the house, but our visit was marred by management failings that were, in our opinion, not addressed well. Our party was my wife and me and our two elderly (80 and 92) mothers. I called the management company, Coastal Joe, at around 10am on our check in day. They told me that we could arrive any time, the house was ready. However, when we arrived around 5, the house had not been cleaned since the last guest had left. Beds were unmade, linens were dirty, dishes unwashed, fridge dirty, etc. The office was closed so we called the after hours line, and were told that they would contact housekeeping and get right back to us. After 20 minutes of no word, we tried calling back only to get voicemail...frustrating. With the house dirty, we had not unloaded our luggage or the food we had bought. Finally, after about 45 minutes, we got a text saying that housekeeping was on the way. We had intended to eat in that night, but decided to change plans and find dinner out. We arrived back around 8, right after the cleaners had left. The extra activity had exhausted the elderly moms, and we still had to unpack and unload the food that had been sitting in the hot car for hours. So, the problem was addressed, but we felt that the managers should have been more communicative as they searched for a housekeeping crew instead of letting us sit and wonder. Coastal Joe offered us a $100 credit for our trouble, which they never provided, and which I thought was insufficient. Our second problem had to do with pool heat. I notified Coastal Joe that we would like the pool to be heated 5 days before our arrival, knowing that it takes a while for a pool to heat up. When we got to the house, the pool was cold, and it was after noon the next day before the pool heater was turned on. It took the rest of the day for the pool to heat, so we lost a day and a half of swim time. To their credit, Coastal Joe did not charge us their normal $300 for pool heat, but we felt that the heater should have been turned on before our arrival. On checkout day, I dropped by the office to discuss the issues we had and request some amount of credit back for our trouble. I spoke to Scott, who did not have the authority to do anything, but he assured me that the lady who did was aware of our situation and would reach out to me in a day or two. That never happened. I sent two emails to Coastal Joe after we returned home, both were ignored. Great house, bad management

Great Vacation!

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 had a fantastic stay at Rocco's Retreat! We were 6 adults and 2 kids in total. The house was perfect size for everyone to have their own space. We spent most of our time outside but the kitchen/living room and screened porch were perfect for gathering. The house was clean and well decorated. Everyone loved having their own bathrooms. The pool area was super nice and perfect for young kids. Proximity to the beach was awesome and made for easy back and forth. The area is quiet which was nice a nice change as we normally go to Seacrest Beach on 30A but wanted to switch is up! We will definitely return.

Family Getaway

Overall the property was great. However a patio dining table and chairs would have suited us a little better than just lounge chairs as we could have had meals and played cards on the patio if that had been there. We did have one issue with the 3rd level not being screened in as a Bat entered one of the rooms when a door was left open for a brief period. Luckily we were able to get it out rather easily but he was a frequent visitor to that 3rd floor balcony throughout the rest of the stay.

Beautiful but there was one thing

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than 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: This is a beautiful property and it was our second visit. The home does not allow pets. That makes us happy to stay there due to allergies. However, this time we stayed the home had an odor of wet dog and the property management's solution for the problem was demeaning and unsatisfactory.

Late October we practically had the beach to ourselves. The house was well equipped with everything we needed (except for a tea kettle, but not a deal breaker at all. The house is very nicely decorated and very comfortable furniture. The views for each deck are breathtaking. We will be back in the future when we can enjoy all of the local restaurants!

Birthday Getaway!

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: I wanted to get away for my birthday this year to somewhere warm and affordable. I was shocked when all 4 of my siblings agreed to join me, along with 2 spouses! Rocco's Retreat was perfect for the 7 of us with enough bedrooms, private bathrooms, an open kitchen and living room area where we could all gather, and a large screened in porch to enjoy the view. My old(est) brother especially appreciated the elevator to navigate the different floors.
