Stella Luna

Pros:. Location. This house had water views front and back - the St Joe Bay in front across the street and the Gulf of Mexico steps from the back deck. Sits back from road, so road traffic noise wasn't bad and offered plenty of parking. Note: The north end of the Cape has a lot of construction going on and the houses are very close to one another with limited parking. Bike trail across the street and property mgmt company offers a credit toward equipment rental (bikes, beach chairs, paddle boards, etc), depending on length of stay. Easy drive to Port St. Joe for dining and shopping. The house was very clean when we arrived. Cons:. Some maintenance needed such as water stains on ceilings, paint needs refreshed and stucco outside had some serious cracks. Nothing to deter from your enjoyment, but it was noticable. Primary bedroom was fine, but others needed some updated furniture and/or mattresses. We only used Primary bedroom, so it wasn't an issue for us. But I can see how the comfort of the beds could be if you have a larger group staying. Pristine Properties did a good job of communicating except for two small issues. Because we booked through Expedia, they don't get their payment until the day of your reservation. So an email is sent informing you that a balance is due. The second issue was that because of this, the guest portal was not updated with our security code to get in.
