Sweet Destiny

This was our third time at Bethany, always great overall.

Great house, very well maintained. Short walk to the beach. Area underneath the house is waaay better than most other places we have stayed at the beach. They turned it into a fun place to hang out with plenty of outdoor furniture, a ground level deck and a fantastic outdoor shower area. They even have a dedicated spot to play cornhole! My family was very happy. The only thing mentioned by members of my family as a complaint was that they thought the beds were too hard. I agreed, but everyone slept ok. Overall a great beach vacation and glad we picked this spot!

This home was perfect for my family of 3! Everything was exactly as described and pictured, actually maybe even better. The beds were so comfy, sheets soft, and we found extra pillows in the closets which was a bonus. This property is an easy 1-2 minute walk to the beach, even closer than I thought it would be. Everything is very clean and updated. We would definitely stay here again!

Excellent.

Due to the AC temp we would not rent again. We loved the location and area, house is awesome. But with the hard beds and AC not being adjustable we will search elsewhere. We stay in the area at least 3 times per year twice on the Cape.

Thank you for your feedback. In full disclosure the AC does allow for adjustment, it just has a preset limit of 72 degrees, which fits most but not everyone's personal requirements.

We loved the house. It was close to the beach and the community pool was very private because there was hardly anybody there in the neighborhood. The beach was very close even though we weren't Oceanfront. It was very quiet there and not very many people on the beach in our immediate area. The heated shower outdoors was wonderful for rinsing off when you returned from the beach. We loved the credit for the beach gear and took full advantage of it. The location was great because we weren't far from the highway to get into town but we felt like we were far away from civilization anyway. The only complaints that I have are one the master suite mattress was not super comfortable and it seemed like there was not as much square footage for the price we paid. Overall the vacation was well worth what we paid and if it were just a little bit bigger we would probably stay again. Once again the Pristine Properties staff was great. We will continue to use you guys every year for our family vacation.

Very clean, organized property. Super comfy beds, quiet neighborhood, very clean beach. Would definitely stay again!

Our family loved the rental house, and it met our needs very well. Very comfortable, super quiet neighborhood, and less than 200 steps to the sand. Awesome!

Beautiful and comfortable property, steps from the beach. So easy to go back and forth from the beach. We loved the new shower enclosure on ground floor. We had a great time! Thanks!

This was a very nice property, looked like it had been recently "refreshed". Very short walk to the beach and nice neighborhood, no loud music or parties!

Great property. Less than a minutes walk to waters edge. House was clean and orderly.

Great place to stay

We had a great week! Loved the location and the house!

The location was good. The bed was awful. The pool needs an enclosure we saw lots of snakes near it and had reports of snakes in the pool/pool area. Curtains were missing from the main living area

Thank you for your feedback regarding the property and the area.  We will certainly pass your recommendations for the property on to the property owner and I'm sure they'll pass along the pool recommendations to the HOA.  Part of what makes our area so unique and less crowded than most areas in Florida is it is more "Old Florida" or natural than most.  However that also means we still have our native wildlife around, so seeing all types of birds, snakes, bugs, and the occasional bear or fox is a real possibility.

Excellent location and amenities show pride of ownership.

Great place to relax by the beach!

Great place and easy to get to Port St. Joe and Apalachicola so it’s sort of in the ideal spot. Not right on the beach, but and easy walk from the house. You won’t regret renting it.

excellent property in every respect, we enjoyed meeting the owners and will definitely consider Bethany for our future trips.

- Posted: 10/17/2021

The property is outstanding. We enjoyed the easy access to the beach. It was perfect for three couples sharing the house.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bethany Cottage. The house was absolutely beautiful and in an excellent location. The proximity of the boardwalk/beach access was great. We would recommend more lighting on the stairs and under the house as previously mentioned. Would also suggest an updated coffee maker (dual pot/k cup with auto shut off). Overall, we had an excellent stay!

Great location and very relaxing! Perfect porch!

Great property! Perfect for a quiet weekend away.

Short walk to the beach and dog friendly! We plan on going back in the future!

We would definitely stay here again. We have stayed in a lot of vacation rentals and this one was one of our favorites. Very clean and updated, very nice new screened in porch/deck and plenty of room to spread out. We only had a party of three, but this would work fine for two couples or a family. You can see the gulf from the screened in porch as the property is only a block off the beach. We were lucky to have found this location and would stay here again if we ever return to Port St. Joe

Very helpful, organized company. Everything was clean, the house was cozy and relaxing. Can't wait to return.

This is an absolutely beautiful property and well appointed. From the stocked kitchen to the beautiful decor and attention to detail. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as a family. The screened in porch was perfect for gathering at night as well as the downstairs during the day. It was just perfect. All of it! I’d like to suggest getting some lighting for the outside. We couldn’t see going down the steps at night when the solar powered lights were out of solar storage. I especially liked the personal touches in the unit like to local photographer photograph and the story of the picture on the nightstand! Just really pretty, comfortable and inviting!

Awesome place and a wonderful vacation...we will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful week at Bethany Cottage. Beautifully furnished, very relaxing, everything you need for a great vacation. A short walk to the beach and beach NOT crowded. We are looking forward to going back soon. We could not ask for a better beach setting.
