A memorable beach vacation awaits at this beautiful family home mere steps from the sand! With beautiful views of the coast from your screened deck, each guest will slip into vacation mode in no time as they sip a cup of coffee while watching the sunrise. After a day of fun, the spacious interior and open layout will make for a perfect place to entertain as the chef of the group whips up some fresh seafood in the fully equipped kitchen. Grab a bit of alone time on the upper balcony with a cold drink in hand or gather in the living room for a movie night as the fireplace warms the entire space. There will be no need to worry about sandy clothes either, as a private washer and dryer are available for your convenience. Don't wait a minute longer! Indulge in that long-awaited getaway today.

What''s nearby:
Sitting nine miles south of Port St Joe proper, this getaway offers a bit of peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The endless sugar-white sand of the Gulf of Mexico awaits mere steps from your front door, so a picnic on the beach as the kids splash in the clear water will be a perfect way to soak up the sunshine. For a bit of fun away from the sand, make your way over to the St. Joseph Bay State Buffer Preserve Visitor Center for a little nature exploration and hiking. Not top mention, biking kayaking, and horseback riding along the coast are all great options as well!

Amazing location

We loved this home, one of the best rentals we’ve booked. The views of the water were better than expected. The decks had ample seating for hanging out with the family. Easy and close beach access. The garage was nice for extra storage space for beach gear which also has a nice bathroom and extra laundry facility. We also loved the pet bath in the laundry room. Would stay again!

Want to keep a secret

I just love this place. It is our second thanksgiving week here and I want to come back every year. I love the view, the master bedroom and the fact we can spend time with our fur family. It is so hard to find quality rentals at the beach that take j to account that dogs are some peoples children. Our dogs are so well behaved, some times people prefer them to kids. Ha ha.

First Trip to Florida

The house was absolutely beautiful. Beach was just a short walk from house. Waking up to look at the ocean was wonderful! Sunset was amazing on the beach. Sunrise I tried to see from the upper patio and it was rough! I wanted to get to the beach to see it but didn’t make it in time!! Getting in was a bit rough but they made it right! I would absolutely rent this place again! And probably will when we do go again!

Beautiful appeal

Such a beautiful home and didn’t want to leave. Great location, easy access to the beach. Above and beyond on the quality and amount of kitchenware, thank you. Didn’t use the trash compactor as I never used one. The home is beautifully decorated and clean. Shame the fireplace and elevator wasn’t working. Are dog loved the screened in area as much as we did. We will be returning to Curve Appeal soon!

Beautiful Home

We enjoyed our time at Curve Appeal! The walk to the beach isn't far at all, and the drive to other beaches in the area is super close. The screened in porch is fantastic, and the porch upstairs is perfect for star gazing. The steps going into the home are a workout, and scary for our dog. It would really be a nice touch if they would let you use the elevator. They also had someone come to work on the washing machine and no one told us that they were coming, and he was very rude. Over all a great place to stay.

We’ll be back!

This house had everything we need to have the perfect getaway with the family. It’s literally steps away from the beach and it’s in such a great area with a very private beach. The only complaint I have, which isn’t even a big deal to me, was the fact that there was no bathtubs. They had BEAUTIFUL walk in extra large showers which was amazing, but it made it difficult for the little ones (age 2 months and 1.5 years old)… luckily the kitchen sink was a farmhouse sink and I easily bathed the babies in there! Seriously tho, the master suite upstairs was so nice and this is probably one of the nicest places we have stayed over the years at the beach. We will definitely be coming back to curve appeal!!!

Gated and Quiet

This is a really nice. Gated entry with only 5 houses. Its big and specious. The master is the top floor with a balcony looking onto the beach. Vacasa management is a cut above, found them to be helpful and always answered the phone. Total customer experience, I rate this excellent. Everything we needed was there.

Wonderful home

My wife and young son had a great time at Curve Appeal. The home is spacious and warm, and the location is perfect - a few steps from the beach and an easy drive to Cape San Blas or Port St. Joe. The beach is quiet, with just a few families nearby, though there are busier spots on either side of the area. The kitchen is well-equipped and the screened-in porch was a favorite spot for relaxing and reading. The master bedroom upstairs also features a great balcony for stargazing. The one area of improvement we'd note was that guests can't use the elevator. We arrived in a strong thunderstorm and had to carry our bags up the outdoor staircase in the rain, so the use of the elevator for loading in and out would have been really nice. That said, guests can use the garage, which is nice plus. All in all, this is a really great home, and I highly recommend it to groups who are looking for a quiet, nice spot on Florida's Forgotten Coast. Thank you to the owners for offering up such a lovely spot!

A relaxing, comfortable, dog friendly beach home!

The home offers all of the comforts of home and more. It is in a very small quiet neighborhood. We are already planning our next visit....The master bedroom on the upper third floor has an outdoor open air deck that provides wonderful gulf and dune views along with sunrises and sunsets. The two additional bedrooms on the main 2nd level were nicely sized with access to the shared hall bathroom. The main level also has a comfortable living room and dining room setup with an open kitchen and island. Plenty of seating choices. The gulf facing main level deck is screened with a sitting area and dining table allowing us to enjoy morning and evenings outside without the bugs. Our two dogs were right at home with afternoon naps in the sun. The washer and dryer worked well and the dog wash station was a nice add. The driveway level has a fenced in area for dogs which was a huge bonus. The owners provided a beach cart and other beach items for guests. The beach is a short walk across the street and thru one of two dune paths. The house is setup as a very comfortable rental while maintaining a feel of home. Towels are provided along with hotel type hand soaps and basic paper products. You may need to bring extra paper products. Pots, pans, utensils and plates/glasses, etc. are available but you will need to bring all of your own cooking supplies, oils, salt, pepper, etc. There is a Piggy Wiggle ~15-20 minutes away along with a handful of restaurants if you forgot something. The internet worked well for streaming shows. The glass on the fireplace was missing during our visit so hopefully the Vacasa team will repair prior to our next visit. Overall a great place to unwind and just enjoy walking on the beach.

Vacation at the Cape

The house was very nice and easy access to walk to the beach. It would be nice if the path to the beach had a wooden walk way instead of just the sand. The sand spurs got in my dogs paws very painful had to carry her to the beach. I stepped on a few and dang they hurt. Red Tide showed it's glory so not much beach activity we got to do. We still had a great vacation

Great house but lacked cleanliness

The house was great itself but as soon as you walk in you get a very strong odor. We believe it to be dog pee smell and there was a massive amount of dog hair everywhere. The property manager came in and put a scented plug-in in the wall to cover up the smell. There was no notes/directions left for caring and cleaning of house for check out. The living room tv was hard to figure out with no directions left either. During the day the house would heat up and air conditioner could not keep up. One day during stay we had an alarm going off all day long and was evening before someone was able to get it off. Turns out it was the elevator (but to bad guest can't use that to bring up luggage.) Lovely house but would have enjoyed more if it was cleaned better.
